I disagree about the hugging part. At this point in time MC and Cove have known each other for five years.  I hate when is stories like these when the MC's always feel nervous even though they have known said Love Interest for so long.  Even though the MC usually relives from their nervousness it still makes the atmosphere of the scene feel awkward. 
I was almost dreading picking the "hug" option because I thought that like most other games the MC would become extremely flustered. I would get her becoming shy if it was the other way around and Cove hugged her instead and then sheh started blushing or her heart quickened. 

But I agree on the other things! And I like how Cove's emotions are written. The scenes never feel awkward.

Ah, yes, I agree with you. I wasn't trying to say that the MC should be uncomfortable or stressed in Cove's company. I also like how comfortable they are with each other. I just think that it would be nice if the description of the hug was different depending on relationship between Cove and MC. It would feel like choosing the type of relationship with Cove really makes a difference in gameplay. Also, I think that hugging your friend and your crush feels very different, even if you know your crush for a long time. The heart starts beating faster and there's this funny feeling in your belly. At least in my experience, haha :) Sorry if what I've written before is confusing. English is not my first language.

You're English is great!

And I agree there. Maybe MC's reaction (at least in that scene) should depend on the choices you make with her, like if you make her shy then she would be shier when having interactions with Cove, or if you make her more outgoing she would feel more accustomed to interactions like that.

But as someone who has coded choice-heavy stories/novels I'm not even completely sure if that's possible, haha. Since the game is having its full release in the Summer of 2020 I imagine that it'll be enough time for them to improve stuff like that, though!

Thank you for the suggestions and I'm glad you liked the demo! Our Life will have more variations and alterations as we continue developing it :]. But for that hug situation specifically, the MC is comforting someone who's panicking about their family. It'd be a bit out of place for the MC to take that moment to think about how they're attracted to Cove and that touching him makes their heart race, aha. There are other times where it comes up and there will be more in the future.
