The fluff, the angst, the everything... I'm all about it!!!!

As amazing as it was frustrating, I'd say. The puzzles (obviously), the characters (with every word he said), music (mostly cabin fever).

The only problem is that it gets laggy to the point you have to close and open the game again if you try to click through the dialogue too quickly. 

hah, don't threaten us with a good time :D

this game everything it set out to do. probably. but I laughed a lot, have no regrets and will definitely replay this sometime. so, thanks!

artwork, music, writing... all of this is great

but what makes this game perfect is just how relatable it is (to me, anyway) and the feelings it evokes. one of few gems.

I am truly beginning to dislike how relative the term 'soon' is hah 😅

haha, welcome! it's been a long month

Can't be the only one refreshing this page every day 😅😂

best news i've heard all week! so excited!

I don't understand the downvotes on this, I think a slap is the least you should get for making people fear for their life

goodness, it is a simple game but I had so much fun with it! Tsuda's and the Secret LI's Ending pulled on my heartstrings so much ugh, hah

I loved Our Life: Beginning and Always so much and I still do, but Now and Always floored me with how much improvement happened between the two games, from the art style to the game mechanics (especially the character creator <3)

Both games give me such warm, happy feelings, thank you so much for your hard work!

I'm looking forward to the full game :)

Currently, men are the only possible LIs (Coven, then Derek and Baxter in their DLCs). 

Cove can be your best friend instead of a LI only if you have Fond level of interest, or if you have Crush/Love but are not interested in pursuing the relationship further (I would also recommend choosing Low Initiative then, too).

Definitely enjoyed playing this! There are lots of new dialogues and interactions to discover even after you have finished 1 or 2 playthroughs. This type of game mechanics is something I really wanted to see, and it was done so well.

The one thing I didn't like as much has more to do with character creation, and it's that freckles are too dark, especially if you have the lighter skin tones... Plus, there are so many options for hair, it can get quite tedious having to manually click through them all. 

And while the baseline interest mechanic makes sense, I wonder if in future builds it will be possible to go from Crush to Fond (though not to Indifferent).

Though overall, that's all I can think of worth mentioning.

I appreciate how diverse and wholesome this game is. Both platonic and romantic relationship with Coven is worth pursuing. Would recommend and play again.

Looking forward to future DLCs (Derek and Baxter)!

definitely succeeded in paying homage to Ito's stories! the mystery and anticipation, the story was well-executed!

 however, since it is a different media, I do agree with another commenter that some hidden secrets could have been included in the game
