Our Life: Beginnings & Always is a superb visual novel. It includes a lot of choices that allow you to customize your character: from their look to their taste. Most of these choices do not affect the game at a profound level but they are still important to you. They make sure that your playtrough is unique. The DLCs double the length of the game and bring memorable events and characters. The only critique I would make to this game is only providing you with a male relationship (be it romantic, friendly or even cold). But I know this point is taken care of in the next game from GB Patch (still in development).
