Presenting... The 2026 Our Life: Now & Forever development road map!
GB and our lead developer, Shawna, have put together their plans for the year. If you're a longtime GB fan, new to the community, or somewhere in-between, you'll want to take a look!

Happy belated new year!
This is an update by GB rather than Claire. I’m gonna let everybody know what’s going on with the project and our new plans for releasing Our Life: Now & Forever. I’ll start with what people most want to know: the changed release schedule for the initial launch of OLNF.
We will be releasing all of Step 1 & Step 2 November 2026 in Early Access. Step 3 and Step 4 are delayed until 2027.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:y4eozsfe6esub43qjn4khvnl/bafkreibyzq3xq5y2r7f7hjcsby7ivhlttqiqa4typ3rmzsidkxtzxjzs6y@jpeg)

Let's celebrate the new year by playing a little game! 😈
You are on trial for a crime you may or may not have committed (another tea for another time). The GB character in your birthday month slot is your defense attorney!
So, what say you? Are you walking out of court free?

Of course, it's not 256k straight through. There are that many words because there's so many alterations within the story based on your personality, relationships, and choices. You'll hopefully have fun playing not only once, but multiple times!

Hey everybody! Here's some fun news.
