About

The Our Life: Treasured Reflections fanzine is a passion project created out of love for the gorgeous and superbly crafted visual novel Our Life: Beginnings & Always created by GB Patch Games. It has no official connections to the producer or the game itself.The goal of this project is to share our love for the world of Our Life and the Moments within that we cherish so dearly; whether that be catching fireflies, having a surf competition, or admitting a well kept secret to the cute green-haired neighbor boy.2025 marks the 5th anniversary of Our Life's initial release, followed by further Steps and DLCs to go along with the story. As a celebration of the occasion, the zine will focus on all 30 Moments (including the DLC) as well as the prologues and epilogues for each Step.In the spirit of Cove's dedicated volunteer work at ORCA, we intend to donate 80% of the proceeds to towards 4Ocean, while the rest will be supporting the wonderful contributors who've worked so hard on the project.For questions and more information, please feel free to reach out to one of our designated social media pages or our email.
