There won't be female love interests, there will be a 18+ DLC once the game is finished which includes gay sex with cove, that dancer dude that appears in stage 3 and Derek.
Next game however will have a female love interst and a dude who is/will become trans.

Okay, then i can ignore this game.
If you already know about the next game, will it be a female/custom protagonist? Because a guy running after a single girl is the same just reverse.

Not really true, since the main character can be any gender, so in my case it's a straight romance.
Further interaction with Cove, along with (a little) extra content with your family and friends.
Despite the game being fun and free without the DLCs, I believe them to be pretty essential to developing Cover's personality to a more satisfactory result; because, when I first played the game straight through, choosing honest choices to fit my personality, without the DLCs, my Cove grew up to be pretty annoying/emo (a negative for me), but picking the same options again with the DLCs added, actually gave me a personality I enjoyed (and made a lot more sense for someone like me), and I generally picked the same options.
To be honest, though, I got better results when I started grooming
Cove by picking answers I guessed at what would influence him; I can't say exactly what makes Cove grow into who he is, but from my experience, I would guess the writers were going for a more "Opposites Attract" approach, as the more I played a shy/quiet character, the more "dominant"/open Cove becomes, which was a huge conundrum coming from a Dom like me attracted to other Doms. (I'm leaning heavily on this "Dom" word, kinksters, but I really mean "extroverted/blunt")Hey, look, I hear you, I'm not going to be cute and say sappy men is a turn on (but honestly, be less harsh! Like, let men cry, and feel, and hug your sons, please! The more we stifle masculine emotions, the more we get 'roid-rage Dude-Bros that thinks it's okay to stink up society). But I hear you, the whining does seem to be played up as a token... something? Woke-ness? "Sensitive masculinity"? I honestly don't like Cove's gloomier personalities, myself, but I managed to cultivate a route that made his tears rather reasonable...? (I don't think 18 year old Cove unreasonably cries much, outside of the "sappy" love moments? Which only happens... twice, I think?)

I say reasonable, because I get why he would cry, so it didn't bother me, but I only played this game with a dating focus, so I don't know how he acts if you go the friend/hate routes??? Plus I figure if you pick the more sappier options, you kind of get what you get if you giving, Nah'mean? (I picked a lot of sappy options, and got sappy results) Without his love for you, I guess the tears can feel kind of silly if he's crying still???
Now, you were pretty snarky in your comment, so I don't know if that intensity was for the laughs, or if you're the type that don't think men should cry (a bit archaic, and highly toxic, but, hey, you're fitting into conservative society with all your tittles dotted!), but if you're okay with men being human (or Homeric heroes, if that makes it feel more masculine), then you might want to follow my tips above, if you want a more outspoken, maybe even a bit snarky Cove (I may be exaggerating it a bit, but this last play through was a lot more tolerable when I got him to be the conversation starter (I'm usually the one saying/initiating/encouraging things; that was making Cove the lessor voice in a lot of events!).
I'm a little confused with the personality adjuster, I tend to let my actions shape Cove, so I don't know what I balanced him to (I think he was set on Cold/Sporty when I went to check), I tried doing a little run through just now, and setting him on Warm/Sporty, but the chances didn't seem that great (though I was skipping through, and only got one new text saying something like "he said it in earnest" or something minor like that); I know he was studious my first (annoyed) round, but I think he might have been in the middle/"Mixed" personality wise, and he just felt really stubborn/whiny/annoyingly emo to me, a complete contrast to this new play through.
I've a feeling Cove is meant to be a bit Whimpy/Sensitive at his core, and they really play up the pubescent boy, which isn't much of a lie (have you seen teenage boys?! I know Netflix be playing, but they're all usual uncool bird chests, by rule of thumb); honestly, I'm waited on the tatted/ripped jeans Adult Cove more than anything
. However, praise aside, this isn't really the game for anyone that is at risk of saying "No Homo" after complimenting a same sex family member.(I'm joking through this, though! So, no offense, even if you are an intolerant macho conservative, that's against Sad Bois and Hugging Sons, and gratiously uses the phrase "No Homo"!)

It's interesting how Cove just panics when things get too heated up.
I mean, c'mon dude. Just fuck me.

I didn't liked the game, most of time I was avoiding to get intimous with the boys and trying to approach more of girls, so I wander to know about if the manager will add the 'gay' tag to the game or add new content for straight persons like me. Until then, my vote is no. But thanks of the effort to answer my question, I appreciated it.Further interaction with Cove, along with (a little) extra content with your family and friends.

I agree that I felt a little misled in the beginning about the nature of the game but I still found it very enjoyable, unexpected gay content and all.

There is already straight content. You select your character's gender, so if she's a girl, there is no gay content.

You can pick the pronuns and gender of your character since THE BEGINNING. Once you hit step 2 you can define you body as in how tall or short you are or how big your boobs are or if you are trans or nonbinary. You can also define your orientation.
Hahahaha! Yeah, I totally agree.
Actually, I'm a little cross with this, as an Asexual myself, I'm more like "Chill, Dude, I just want to hold you!
", but my Smut craving mind is like "Just boink already!".To be honest, I think the writers are strictly avoiding porn with a minor, they can't lean heavily on the erotica until all characters are legally of adult age (I don't know what country this is being made in/catered to, so can't say the number, but I'm to assume at least 18); with stage 3 Cove being 18 yet still hitting you with the "be gone thot!" card, might just be played up for the laughs, as it gives a quirky spin on teens coming into their sexuality.
As a go big or go home trope, they would either have to make him extremely promiscuous, as teens are want to be, or extremely "what is a boob, and where's the uvula?" as we often make fun of virgins for; Cove's base personality leaves no room for him to be a horny, go getter, teenage boy.
I'm placing my money on them avoiding **********, but I'll also hazard a guess that the writers were probably a little anxious on erotic content themselves, before saying "screw it, our Patreon wants the smut!", so we'll have to wait for step 4 to get the goods.
Ah, I see, sorry you were mislead! I've been following this game since it's first announcement, and didn't start playing it until step 2 was launched, but I always knew this to be basically an otome game with a focus of building a "through the years" romance with the boy, Cove. I believe the entire "Friendship/other" route is just for a sense of agency, and the gay (if creating male character) aspects are a given, as Cove confesses to being pan for the convience of whoever decides to play the game and pursue the guy.
I will admit, they were a little heavy handed on the whole "Build a 'friendship' with Cove", like the game wouldn't be heavily catered to the romance aspect, but make no mistake, the cover is drowned in Cove visuals, you don't get any other description/summery of any other characters, and you hardly meet anyone, that isn't family, in this game, out side of short, one shot, scenes. Cove is the center of the story, and it's called "Our Life", it would be pretty weird to play the game, expecting to neither date, or even befriend the clingy(proven upon first meeting him) boy Cove, and even if another romance was to be added, it would pale in comparison to all the times you'd be hanging out with Cove (they keep throwing in few other male characters to pursue, but I swear you only see them once or twice).
Though, I actually did assume they'd make Cove influenced to be trans at some point, in the beginning, to cater to any Gynosexuals who came looking, but it might have been too big of an endeavor for the developers. My sincerest apologies to all you women lovers out there, your dating sims do severely lack that dedication to romance and intimacy, with the heavy saturation of implausible sex and mindless harems.
Hope you find something of equal quality!

Well sounds like Our Life 2 will be just that!
Does Cove confesses his love for MC even if you don't put your interest at the beginning of Step 3 on "love"?
Also why does this have a loli tag?

Just hazarding a guess here, but did you update the base game? It only works with the new 1.3 version (there's a newer update on Itch.io now, but I don't think that would be a problem?)?

I used the version that is in here and it was my frist time installing. I will try the one from Itch.io and see.

Yes there was an update a couple of days ago here:
But the version hosted here is also 1.3 so DLC 3 should work, it's just some fixes.

Sorry but I downloaded the game from here and it was version .22, maybe I just hit it up before all links were up with the new version.
