hellooo i downloaded the one for windows and i went into the game folder but i don't really understand what to do from there. can someone with windows guide me through what to do? do i need to purchase something?
this is my first time downloading a game like this and i dont know what DLC means or anything lol
You don't need to purchase the Voiced Name DLC. You just take the .rpa file downloaded from this page and put it into the Our Life "game folder" that you get from the main Our Life: Beginnings and Always page! Also, don't use the Itch app to download the DLC, that doesn't seem to work for people. It's best to download directly from the website.
hi! Sorry for the inconvenience but I dont know if its just my phone being dumb or something, but it won't let me edit the game files to add in the dlcs- every time i tap the file it asks if i want to open the app, even when i have the dlcs copied and ready to move. I have a galaxy note 10 if that helps with anything, and i also want to add i've downloaded multiple types of file managers/apk editors and nothing worked- i'm not very savvy when it comes to this sort of thing, though, so I may be just doing something wrong?
These steps worked for me and at least one other user on here (I have a samsung s10. Also, I know there are a lot of steps, but it took me less than 5 minutes):
1. Download the base game from itch.io (this is an .apk file)
2. Download the DLC(s) you purchased (these are .rpa files)
3. Download and install Amaze File Manager from the Play Store
4. Install the base game by clicking on the .apk file and following the prompts to install
5. Open the Amaze app and follow the prompts to allow access to your files, as well as grant "All files access" (clicking Grant will take you to the Settings location, but you'll have to find Amaze in the list, click on its name, and toggle "Allow access to all files" on)
6. Once that setting is toggled on, go back to Amaze and find your Downloads folder there. Inside should be all your .rpa files.
7. Long press on the first .rpa file you want to install and then click on the rest. All of them should be highlighted before the next step.
8. Once highlighted, click on the copy button (an icon of two rectangles in front of each other) at the top of the app
9. Navigate to your Android folder within the Amaze app, then the data folder inside of it. You might have to allow another access prompt here.
10. Scroll down to the "ourlife.demo.apk" file and click on it, then the "files" file inside.
11. At the top of the app, there should be a new folder button (picture of a folder with a +). Click that and make a new folder called "game".
12. Click on the "game" folder, and then click the "Use This Folder" button at the bottom of the app. You will again need to grant access through a prompt.
13. Finally, click the "Paste" button at the bottom of the app, and you should be all set! Open the Our Life app, and enjoy getting married to the best crybaby!!!
I was alerted to updates to both the base game and all the dlc, so I set them to download, only for all the expansions (Step 1, 2, and 3, and Voiced name) to fail with the message:
"An error occurred during installation No manager for installer unknown"
Can someone please help? I've got no idea what this means, or what to do.
For those facing problems, my experience was that the base game worked fine in the app, but downloading the dlcs in the app made it freak out. Downloading them through the website and then installing them in the base game's file worked, but then even the base game wouldn't run. So I uninstalled it, then reinstalled (still in the app), checked all the files were where they needed to be, and lo and behold, it works. Yay \0v0/
I extracted the rpy files and the voices. The game has all the extra names, yet when I click on one of them it has this error screen. I tried to quit the game and play again, but it still has the same error as before. I don't really know what the problem is.
I'm sorry you're having trouble. Can you give me a screenshot of your game folder? The error is saying the name file isn't there so something about where the names were put seems to be off.
Do you know where the "voices" folder from the expansion pack is? I see you added the rpys, which unlock the screen, but I can't see the folder that includes all the voiced name sound files. Maybe you missed copying it over?
I copied and pasted the contents of it. The cove_step1-3 are the voice folders. Do I need to extract the whole voice folder? (the one with the blue highlight)
I don't know how else to explain it, but this game is an emotional roller coaster. I love it. I wish more games were like this allowing for many endings and not one cookie cutter ending regardless of choices.
So I have a new pc now, so I lost my save file anyway I love the game so I take my time and then I was ready to play the game again. Only 10 minutes past in the first step and the game close with this error. I try erase my dlcs and only run the game, then put the voice dlc if that was but dont work. Please I will love the help, this is the text that show up :
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

My voice named is an option however I don't hear Cove saying it throughout the game. The name is present in text however I can't hear it. Is there anything I can do to fix that?
It's possible the files aren't in the right spot. Can you take a screenshot of your folder? Though, the name is only said about once per event. It doesn't happen all the time, so it's also possible you didn't hit the points where it happened.
Hello!! So, I've been playing this game for a few months and I love it! When I saw there was a voiced name DLC, I downloaded it immediately. However, even when I followed all of the download instructions perfectly (several times over, downloading and redownloading both the game and DLC), I cannot hear any of the names on the selection screen or in-game. Is there any way I'm still doing something wrong? I'm on MacOS, if that helps. Thanks ^^
Can you take everything in the "Voiced Name DLC" folder out of that folder and put it directly in the "game" folder? You can just delete the empty "Voiced Name DLC" folder. All that's needed are the actual files in the game folder.
So I downloaded the game plus bought all the DLCs. How will I know if the DLCs actually worked? Is there an option that shows that they have been added to the game?
If the DLC is unlocked there will be 10 Moments available on the Moment Select screen rather than five. If you see the Moments are still locked you can save the game, close it out, make sure they DLC files are the right spot, and then reload the game. The extra scenes will become available in all save files once the DLC content is set in the game folder, so you won't have to restart or anything if there was a problem at first.
I downloaded, unzipped and installed the files as instructed, but I only get a handful of names under each alphabet tab - it's never more than seven or eight names, and the full list never appears despite the files all being present in the voices folders. Could there be something I've done wrong?
I'm sorry I missed this comment! It's possible the display isn't showing you the scroll bar. There should be a way to go down the page to reveal more names. Can you share a screenshot of what your voiced name looks like?
It's my turn to apologize, I got the email and meant to get to this and wasn't able to right away, I am sorry as well! Thank you for getting back to me! I checked and the scroll bar does not allow me to interact with it at all. Here is the requested screenshot.
I see. That's the old version of the screen. It seems you need to update part of your game build. Either re-downloading the base game itself, getting the newest version of one or all of the DLCs, starting a fresh file instead of loading a save, or all of that. Can you try that to see if it works?
My laptop died and I had to get a new one, so I had to do a reinstall of the game - this worked perfectly, I needed the new version of the game. Thank you so much and again, apologies for the length of time between my replies. It is such a great game with so much thought put into it!! Will enjoy starting over with a new save. :)
Can you hear them on the screen or is it silent there too? And what device are you using? The only character who says the name is Cove and he only does it sometimes, like once per Moment rather than all the time, so it's possible the names are working and you just haven't gotten one of the times where it's said in-game. But if you don't hear them on the screen either that generally means the DLC files aren't in the right spot.
I'm playing on PC! I can see the voiced name being said, but it isn't spoken aloud. The only thing I can think of is that I originally started a file with Jamie and then got the voice DLC right before step 2. I did exit out of the game while doing this, but maybe because I already had a save file it doesn't update? I heard him say Jamie in step one but ever since I haven't heard him say the name (I picked Skye if it matters). I'm currently on step 3. Once I finish and start a new save I'll see if that fixes it.
Just so I make sure I did it right though, I just need to copy and paste voice_name_dlc.rpy and voice_name_dlc.rpyc, not go into the voice folder and manually copy/paste all of the names?
Thanks for the details. You do need to copy/paste or move over those rpys, but you also need the voices folder. You don't have to copy every name file individually, you can copy or simply move the entire voices folder into the game folder of your Our Life build. I hope that helps!
That was absolutely what I was missing!! Thank you so much, I didn't even think of copying the voices folder but in hindsight it's pretty obvious that I would need to do so, lol.
I recently had to erase my macbook and download everything again-- including Our Life and all the dlcs!-- and the voices aren't working this time around? the voices folder is in the game folder, i've tried moving the voice rpy files in and out of the voices folder, and nothing seems to work but Jamie?
I'm sorry you're having trouble. It sounds like there is something out of place, but I'm not sure what. Removing all the voiced DLC stuff and starting again might be worth doing. Sometimes just trying to following the steps again goes better because whatever went wrong the first time doesn't end up happening the next time.
hi gbpatch !! i adore this game with all i am. however, the voiced name portion isn't working for me. i followed the install steps and made sure to select my name in the voiced name part too, but i've played almost to the end of step 3 now and cove hasn't said my name at all :( am i missing a step?
Can you hear the name on the screen itself but not in the game? Or do you not hear the name even when you select the name on the screen? You may have to turn up the voice volume from the config screen. It is possible something is out of place or missing when you tried to install it, but I wouldn't know what it is. Sometimes just trying to following the steps again goes better because whatever went wrong the first time doesn't end up happening the next time.
so I seem to have a problem with the voice dlc idk if its because I missed a step but when I put in the files I cant seem to even open the game the application just turns into a normal icon idk what I did wrong.
That's understandable. :) I just finished my playthrough of it and I LOVED it! Sadly I don't know if the voice patch thing did anything different. I put it where I think it said to in the right place, but it never had my name voiced or anything. Still a good game though! Super heartwarming.
I'm happy you liked it ^^. If you couldn't hear it, sometimes you've gotta turn the voice volume higher and the music lower. The name line also doesn't play every time Cove says the MC's name, only occasionally. And did you choose the name from the screen or type in the letters of name that is an option? Typing it in won't set the voice. You've gotta go through the voiced name screen itself and pick it out from there. I hope that's helpful.
I'm really excited to play this game! I just bought the two DLCS on Stream. I was wondering if the voiced name feature is already embedded when you download the game on Stream instead of here?
Hey! I've been in love with this game since the demo before step 2, and so I wanted to say thank you! But also, I play on a Mac and can't quite get Cove to say any of the voiced names either. How can I fix that?
Hello! I'm really glad you like it. Did you move all the RPY files and the voices folder into the "game" folder of Our Life? And can you hear the previews of the names on the screen or nothing at all? Sometimes turning the voice volume up is needed on some computers. If you hear the previews, they'll play in the game too it's just he doesn't always have a voiced line every time your name is said. It only happens occasionally, so you might not have come across a point where he uses the a voiced line yet. Hopefully one of those helps!
Hey I absolutely adore ADORE this game, genuinely one of my favorites to date! I was wondering if maybe you could help with with the installation of this DLC? I have all the names available but the only one that actually makes a sound is the default:(
I'm glad you like it! Did you add the "voices" folder into the "game" folder along with the rpy files? Maybe the sound files for the other names aren't in the right place.
I was worried when I didn't see my name in the DLC, but I think it's just one of those that didn't come out right (as you mentioned in the last backer update). Thank you all for being so committed!
Left a message on Kickstarter as I was thinking my fulfillment survey wasn't received/recorded because my chosen name Angel is not on the list, but now I'm seriously thinking ya'll just accidentally stuck an A at the end? 😅
Playing on windows and i'm having some trouble. When downloaded, I dont see a zipped file anywhere so I just go ahead and past the rpy files into the game files. The menu for preset names shows up and I am able to pick, but I can't get Cove to actually say any of the names? It doesn't even do a preview of what the name sounds like except for the default Jamie. Can anyone help me out :( ?
The file you download from this page is the zipped file. After you unzip that, then the files inside will work. You'll also need more than the rpys, you'll also have to add the "voices" folder that's next to the rpys. Let me know if that helps!
Congratulations on this new DLC. Can't wait to support what else comes out! I have to admit I'm a little sad because my name (Alex) was in the demo but it doesn't seem to be in the final release. Ah well, Ali will suffice :D
Oooooohhhhhhhh, I have been waiting for this DLC since I downloaded the full game! I loved the voiced names back in the demo, so having that back is super great. I cannot wait to mess around with this once I boot up the game, especially with the two paid DLCs I have, so thank you. :D
I also cannot wait to see how this will meld once the Step 4 DLC is finally released.

Can someone help? I'm new to Linux and I don't know how to add dlcs. Ive got the Linux itch.io app if that helps.
For some reason, the file is in the folder but it isn't showed up as DLC downloaded in the app.
- I've relaunched the app
- I've restarted my device
- I've downloaded from the site
- Android version 12, our life version 1.5.1
I need a bit of help here, what am I doing wrong here?

Yeah, I was. I got it working now though. :)

Thank you very much for letting me know how it worked out for you! I'm glad you got them added.
Quick question does this game work on windows 7? cuz thats the pc im usuin
yup ofc!!
hey who's your pfp? looks really cool!
it's Hu Tao from genshin impact but male version :)!
I extracted the rpy files and the voices. The game has all the extra names, yet when I click on one of them it has this error screen. I tried to quit the game and play again, but it still has the same error as before. I don't really know what the problem is.
But don't worry! I won't quit playing the game even if it has a minor issue. The game is great overall, even without the extra names :)) .
I'm sorry you're having trouble. Can you give me a screenshot of your game folder? The error is saying the name file isn't there so something about where the names were put seems to be off.
Here's the game folder.
Do you know where the "voices" folder from the expansion pack is? I see you added the rpys, which unlock the screen, but I can't see the folder that includes all the voiced name sound files. Maybe you missed copying it over?
The cove_step1-3 are the voice folders.
Do I need to extract the whole voice folder? (the one with the blue highlight)
Umm...may I ask where is the game folder?
It depends on your device.
Windows:
Mac:
um..my window's folder is not like this
You take the files from the voiced name pack and put them into the game folder for Our Life. There isn't a game folder in the voiced name pack itself.
I don't know how else to explain it, but this game is an emotional roller coaster. I love it. I wish more games were like this allowing for many endings and not one cookie cutter ending regardless of choices.
So I have a new pc now, so I lost my save file anyway I love the game so I take my time and then I was ready to play the game again.

I just forgot to paste the voice folder inside, it works now
are requests still be taken for names that we want to be added to the list?
I'm afraid not! Maybe someday we'll add more, but there's no way to get your name added currently.
It's not for Android 😭
The Android version is on the main page! Just download Our Life (Android, Voiced Name Version)
https://gbpatch.itch.io/our-life
Hello!! So, I've been playing this game for a few months and I love it! When I saw there was a voiced name DLC, I downloaded it immediately. However, even when I followed all of the download instructions perfectly (several times over, downloading and redownloading both the game and DLC), I cannot hear any of the names on the selection screen or in-game. Is there any way I'm still doing something wrong? I'm on MacOS, if that helps. Thanks ^^
Can you tell me where the files are in your version? It should look something like this, but with the voiced name folder instead of the DLC folder.
Sorry I'm a moment late, but here you go!
Can you take everything in the "Voiced Name DLC" folder out of that folder and put it directly in the "game" folder? You can just delete the empty "Voiced Name DLC" folder. All that's needed are the actual files in the game folder.
That was the solution! Thanks so so much ^^
That's wonderful!
So I really want this game but when I pick download it says stuff like this can hurt my phone... is it save to download?
naw it wont do anything, your device is probably being extra precautious
So I downloaded the game plus bought all the DLCs. How will I know if the DLCs actually worked? Is there an option that shows that they have been added to the game?
If the DLC is unlocked there will be 10 Moments available on the Moment Select screen rather than five. If you see the Moments are still locked you can save the game, close it out, make sure they DLC files are the right spot, and then reload the game. The extra scenes will become available in all save files once the DLC content is set in the game folder, so you won't have to restart or anything if there was a problem at first.

Thank you so much and again, apologies for the length of time between my replies. It is such a great game with so much thought put into it!! Will enjoy starting over with a new save. :)
That's great :D
AMO este juego, pero me gustaría que le sacaran una versión en español :(
I'm not sure if I've done something wrong or not. I have the options to use the voiced names but no one ever actually says them

i might try to do this on steam to see if it works there
I'm sorry I missed this! If you still need help, let me know.
nope! I got the steam version instead and the dlc worked there but thx!
I'm happy to hear you were able to get it there, at least. Sorry for the trouble.
Will there ever be a NSFW DLC/extra game at any point?
There will be a NSFW Patreon Bonus Moment, but that's extra content. The main game will always be safe for teens with nothing 18+.
That's understandable. :) I just finished my playthrough of it and I LOVED it! Sadly I don't know if the voice patch thing did anything different. I put it where I think it said to in the right place, but it never had my name voiced or anything. Still a good game though! Super heartwarming.

The name line also doesn't play every time Cove says the MC's name, only occasionally. And did you choose the name from the screen or type in the letters of name that is an option? Typing it in won't set the voice. You've gotta go through the voiced name screen itself and pick it out from there. I hope that's helpful.
I'm really excited to play this game! I just bought the two DLCS on Stream. I was wondering if the voiced name feature is already embedded when you download the game on Stream instead of here?
Hello! You can add the voiced names through a free DLC on Steam. It's not included automatically 'cause it's kind of a big add-on that not everyone might want.

Hey! I've been in love with this game since the demo before step 2, and so I wanted to say thank you! But also, I play on a Mac and can't quite get Cove to say any of the voiced names either. How can I fix that?
Hello! I'm really glad you like it. Did you move all the RPY files and the voices folder into the "game" folder of Our Life? And can you hear the previews of the names on the screen or nothing at all? Sometimes turning the voice volume up is needed on some computers. If you hear the previews, they'll play in the game too it's just he doesn't always have a voiced line every time your name is said. It only happens occasionally, so you might not have come across a point where he uses the a voiced line yet. Hopefully one of those helps!
It works now, thanks!
this is an awesome game
Hi! Can I put in a request?
Ditto.
Hey I absolutely adore ADORE this game, genuinely one of my favorites to date! I was wondering if maybe you could help with with the installation of this DLC? I have all the names available but the only one that actually makes a sound is the default:(
I'm glad you like it! Did you add the "voices" folder into the "game" folder along with the rpy files? Maybe the sound files for the other names aren't in the right place.
I was worried when I didn't see my name in the DLC, but I think it's just one of those that didn't come out right (as you mentioned in the last backer update). Thank you all for being so committed!
God, I love this game.
Left a message on Kickstarter as I was thinking my fulfillment survey wasn't received/recorded because my chosen name Angel is not on the list, but now I'm seriously thinking ya'll just accidentally stuck an A at the end? 😅
p.s. Please send my undying affection to Cove. 🌊
Playing on windows and i'm having some trouble. When downloaded, I dont see a zipped file anywhere so I just go ahead and past the rpy files into the game files. The menu for preset names shows up and I am able to pick, but I can't get Cove to actually say any of the names? It doesn't even do a preview of what the name sounds like except for the default Jamie. Can anyone help me out :( ?
The file you download from this page is the zipped file. After you unzip that, then the files inside will work. You'll also need more than the rpys, you'll also have to add the "voices" folder that's next to the rpys. Let me know if that helps!
That's totally what it was! thanks :)
You have to download a unzip app I recommend Winrar or winzip for mac
Congratulations! I'm excited for my 5th playthrough.
Congratulations on this new DLC. Can't wait to support what else comes out!
I have to admit I'm a little sad because my name (Alex) was in the demo but it doesn't seem to be in the final release. Ah well, Ali will suffice :D
Oooooohhhhhhhh, I have been waiting for this DLC since I downloaded the full game! I loved the voiced names back in the demo, so having that back is super great. I cannot wait to mess around with this once I boot up the game, especially with the two paid DLCs I have, so thank you. :D
I also cannot wait to see how this will meld once the Step 4 DLC is finally released.
