ABOUT THE GAME

A short, fan-made visual novel celebrating Derek Suarez' Birthday!

It's a light hearted story set after the events from Our Life: Beginnings and Always + Derek's Story DLC, please go check them out when you can! I tried my best to emulate a similar experience to the original game but I hope I did the game justice and that you still enjoy it regardless!

I started this passion project of mine around the first two weeks of September out of love and appreciation for Derek and the Our Life franchise. I also want to thank GB Patch Games for giving me permission to do so!

This is my very first Visual Novel so please go easy on me... :') It isn't beta-tested so feel free to notify me for any errors in the comment section. I will also probably be updating it as well when I can.

All character sprites, background art and CG art used are made by me.

Thank you so much for this little extra peek into OL1! I miss this cast so much so thank you for giving us all a little more warmth and love with everyone <3

Aww this was really sweet

Aww this was really sweet <3 It was such a cute little visual novel, perfect for the start! I loved seeing all the characters in your art style, it makes them all look so soft and a little bit ethereal. 

Derek is the best boy and deserves all the happiness, so playing your little birthday addition for him quenched some of the nostalgia need I have for replaying the whole game. Thank you for that :)

Keep up the good work! I'll definitely be playing again when you update  and maybe even in between. I'm sure you'll go on to do great things and I am excited to see them :)
