Make It Last: While You Can is a visual novel that is set during the mid-2000's and is a stand alone side story that takes place in the same world as Destiny Fails Us: A New Life and Make It Last, approximately 10 years before the events of those games.
You don't need to have any knowledge from the other games to play Make It Last: While You Can.
See What Certain Characters Looked Like Ten Years Ago
This game does feature several appearances by characters from Destiny Fails Us and Make It Last, such as: Reginald Sly, Mr. (Jackson) Sly, Lily Day, Charlotte Hastings, and Samson Hastings.
This visual novel has full 3D character models, and each character has animated gestures, facial expressions, and poses. There were supposed to be animated cutscenes, but I couldn't get them to actually play in the final build of the game.
Development for Make It Last: While You Can started in August 2020, and the game was completed in one month for the Summer Novel Festival and Yaoi Game Jam 2020.
This game features two gay men in a long term relationship as the protagonists, with a side story that follows their daughter and her best friend, Jess.
Content Warnings: Mention of death, mention of cancer, visits to the hospital, and swearing. There is a relatively short scene (about 30 lines in length) where Harvey gets into an argument with his father about Harvey's relationship with Jordan.
