Hi I hate to be a bother but before I go through the motions blindly, I was wondering the general process of downloading this bad boy on android/getting the DLC running. I've never really done so before but my computer is temporarily out of commission and I definitely would love to have this downloaded and playable for my flight home in a few days to help with my anxiety over planes. 😅
I'm sorry for the late reply, you can try to follow the guide omniastarr wrote:
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 have never played such a thoughtful and heart-warming game. To all of you who worked on this: thank you so much! You did a wonderful job, and it's safe to say that I have absolutely fallen in love with Cove Holden. I hope that I'll meet someone like him in my real life.
Thank you so much! I can't wait for your next game!
absolutely adored this game and maybe i cried a lil, would love it if all the dlcs came in a bundle though (for the three step dlcs at least) to make purchasing them easier, but besides that 10/10
edit: just saw the devs reply to a similar comment, I think leaving the wedding as a stand alone is a good idea, just because it feels like an additional stretch in the story, the three cove steps could be one dlc, then the other characters dlcs could come in a pack together. they are 100% worth the full price you'd pay for them separately, just easier to buy within one purchase rather than multiple semi-microtransactions :,)
that was honestly the best visual novel experience i've had in a long time. I immediately got attached to all the characters (cove especially) and i'm not going to recover anytime soon :) imma be honest i felt a few too many emotions lmao
bro...i was out here bawling my eyes out during the end like....all the memories they had and UGH THIS IS SO GOOD. just download it and buy the dlcs you will NOT regret
Could you release a full game version? Id happily pay 20 bucks. I cant get the dlc to work and i see alot of comments saying they also having a problem. If a full unlocked purchased game aslo something thats coming in the future? I really enjoy this game alot!
Did you get it to work on Android? I've tried PC and android they won't merge. Says it's un readable. I have a gaming pc and mod all the time. I've never had this much issues
I haven't done it lately on Android so I have no idea if it's changed or if there's a new way, but for me each DLC worked one at a time and will overwrite the other. They will not work all at once.
So if you have Step 1 DLC active and then apply Step 2 DLC, then only Step 2 DLC will be active while Step 1 will be inactive. Then if you reapply Step 1 DLC, then Step 2 DLC will be inactive. If you jump straight to Step 3 DLC from Step 1 DLC, then Step 3 DLC will be active but Step 1 DLC will be inactive again.
What I did was progress through the game with one DLC active then applied the next DLC as I went (preferably before I entered the next Step at the transition). My save files were fine, I just changed which DLCs were active.
So each time you want to play a certain DLC you will have to reapply it if it's not active.
If you pay the dlcs already on pc, it'll work on android, all you have to do is look up the games that you buy by using your e-mail as a confirmation here, then it'll be send to your emails. After that you can re-download all your dlcs to your phone without paying it twice.
We might be able to have a version like that sometime! But the problem is deciding what DLC would it include. All DLCs, meaning also Derek and Baxter or just the Cove ones? And if it was just the Cove ones, would it have the Wedding DLC or just the three main Steps? We can't have multiple DLC packs because it'd get confusing, but if we had one with everything single DLC we won't be able to release until the last two DLCs are done.
I appreciate the reply! I was meaning the cove ones. I was unaware that baxter or Derek was an option. I beleive most of the people are just Android that would like the completed game. Its the fact that some people cant get the dlc to work. Thats why i was hoping for an unlocked version.
I know that all good things know when to end and not drag on but I would literally play and pay all the time if they wrote content for Cove constantly and treated it like some mobile otome games where you log in daily or MMORPGs that constantly get updated with new content. 😂😂 Just going through different days and scenarios and conflicts of Cove and MCs life. This is just one of those games mann...
I'm sorry, the types of money and cards accepted on this site is decided by Itch.io itself not the game developers who host their games here. You can check their FAQ or contact Itch support if you'd like to know if a certain type of payment would work!
First and only game on itch that I bought and it's honestly amazing how much you can customize your personality and story. Anyone who is on the fence should absolutely give this game a chance (and get it on steam!)
This game was so good and I had the biggest smile on my face everytime I knew I had time to play. The story was beautiful, I loved the characters and the choices were so nice and felt so real . Such a lovely way to look at our life, our relationships and decisions. Teared up a little at the end because I got so attached to it <3
Hi! I usually play this on my computer, but I want to travel and play it on my phone. How can I transfer my data to my phone from my computer? ( I play on windows 10 btw)
I'll be back for the dlcs next payday but I'd like to make special mention of how in the fireworks section if you showed signs of discomfort at the fireworks being so close by and noisy he offers to cover your ears for you! I was moved to tears at that option since I struggle with a fear of loud noises and fireworks. not to mention that I quickly fell in love with this sweet boy. i will most definitely replay once I've bought the dlcs but for now playing your new our life game will have to suffice since I cant bring myself to restart just to scour the beginning for anyway to get Shiloh to recognize you when He's out on the school field trip, I wish we had more interactions with that sweet boy, especially since hes an option in step 4 to say you wish was there...
You have to delete your old file, download the base game and any DLCs you own from their game pages again, and add the DLCs to your new "game" folder. Your saves will still be there even if you delete your 1.5.1 version!
Hey there! I originally found this game 3 years ago and commented on my old account [Momo~Senpai] and I can't express how proud I am of this dev team! Your games are truly a work of art and inspire me 3 years later! I'm inlove with this game and how far it has come! I just wanted to stop by and say thank you because you guys even inspired me to make my own game <3
This game is so great. So much work put into this, it's amazing! I cannot recommend this enough. The customizations, the character designs, the representation. Its all just so refreshing and so sweet. It feels so nice to have a character that is actually me and not just a preset. Thank you for making this game
Maybe there's something in your permission settings or with your virus scanner that's stopping the game from being able to launch. Unfortunately, I can only guess what about your phone is having troubles. I hope you're able to figure it out.
I played this straight through for five hours on a school night, till 4:30 AM. Made me cry at the end, to feel so loved and appreciated, even though it's not real. Beautiful piece of work. Also loved the nonbinary options. I will definitely play it again to see how things change.
Definitely enjoyed playing this! There are lots of new dialogues and interactions to discover even after you have finished 1 or 2 playthroughs. This type of game mechanics is something I really wanted to see, and it was done so well.
The one thing I didn't like as much has more to do with character creation, and it's that freckles are too dark, especially if you have the lighter skin tones... Plus, there are so many options for hair, it can get quite tedious having to manually click through them all.
And while the baseline interest mechanic makes sense, I wonder if in future builds it will be possible to go from Crush to Fond (though not to Indifferent).
Though overall, that's all I can think of worth mentioning.
I appreciate how diverse and wholesome this game is. Both platonic and romantic relationship with Coven is worth pursuing. Would recommend and play again.
Looking forward to future DLCs (Derek and Baxter)!
Currently, men are the only possible LIs (Coven, then Derek and Baxter in their DLCs).
Cove can be your best friend instead of a LI only if you have Fond level of interest, or if you have Crush/Love but are not interested in pursuing the relationship further (I would also recommend choosing Low Initiative then, too).
Aww shucks. I wish there was a female love interest in the game. I'm a guy so I hoped for female characters. I love the art, it looks so cool and fantastic.
I played this game 5 times already...its that good... and i almost cried too, and i love the customization options for the player! Like we even got to add acne if we had any- it made me feel better about myself tbh :DD
This was a really cool game. I enjoyed it a lot. There were some parts that felt a bit long winded, but overall the writing was really good. I wish there were different routes of romance. (Baxter, Derek, maybe Shiloh) Romancing Cove was really nice. He turned out to be a sweet, emotional, loyal guy. Concerning gameplay, I did not like that there was no sprite for the MC. It would have been nice to see your customizable character at the side of the screen. That being said, Good game overall.
DLC is currently being developed for Baxter and Derek routes. They won't be as long or as involved as Cove's story I think, but they are definitely in the works.
This game is absolutely beautiful. It made me tear up a few times and I love the messages that it sends. There doesn't seem to be too much unnecessary drama and the characters are all absolutely amazing. The soundtrack was beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed this game.
I currently finished playing putting in 30 hours but, I enjoyed every minute. This is such a well made and written game and I absolutley ADORE it! To see everyone progress and grow is amazing. Great work ^^
I’m currently playing this game and I absolutely adore it! I just have one question: I’d love to purchase the DLC’s but with steam because it’s easier due to the country where I live. So, the thing is that I originally downloaded the game in this page, is there a way that I can pass the saved files to the steam files so I don’t lose my hours of playing and I can play it with the DLC’s?
Absolutely adore this game just like all these wonderful people. It is so therapeutic to play through, and Cove is such a dear <3 I played through Step 4 multiple times to see the different routes and they're all so heartwarming. What a wonderful game. Thank you so much to the team for creating this and making it free to play! I'll be sure to support with purchasing the DLCs <3
I'm going to try not being (too) sappy about this, I just really wanted to thank the Dev team for making this game.
I've been playing it since 2020, but every time I do it's beautifully bittersweet. This game's basically the life I wish I had, especially since I'm particularly socially challenged (really bad anxiety and panic disorder), so I have a hard time going near people, let alone making friends with them or even get to a relationship like you can with Cove in the game. I wish I had grown up like this, carefree and very clearly loved. I really wish I had grown up being able to make friends like Cove, Derek, Lee, Miranda, Terry, Baxter. Really, the whole crew. I'm just becoming an adult, so I know the time to make those friendships isn't over, but my anxiety is just getting worse, so I most likely won't be able to. Because of this, it makes the game all that more precious to me.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for making a game which I can adore so deeply and give me a sliver of something I so dearly wished for growing up. So, thank you again Devs!
(Sorry I ended up being sappy even though I said I'd try not to lol ^^;)

How do you update from 1.4 to 1.5? I was trying to download 1.5 ver but keep ends up at 1.4... please help

I agree with that !! Hope you find someone like him one day:)
Hi I cant remember how to move over my old saves into a new game file? Im on windows using an itchio file
If you're on the same device, the saves should automatically be in your new game build. Are you trying to bring the saves to a different computer?
what is cove's race/ ethnicity cuz i been wondering for a long ass time
I think the developer once said he's half white (from Kyra) and half whatever you headcanon him on a Tumblr ask
absolutely adored this game and maybe i cried a lil, would love it if all the dlcs came in a bundle though (for the three step dlcs at least) to make purchasing them easier, but besides that 10/10

bro...i was out here bawling my eyes out during the end like....all the memories they had and UGH THIS IS SO GOOD. just download it and buy the dlcs you will NOT regret
dude this game made me cry, why did it do that??
also love the fluff it is so frickin cute, such an amazing game! (My heart is bout to explode right now)
Could you release a full game version? Id happily pay 20 bucks. I cant get the dlc to work and i see alot of comments saying they also having a problem. If a full unlocked purchased game aslo something thats coming in the future? I really enjoy this game alot!
I'd really like this as well. Beats having to download a couple of separate files on Android too.
Did you get it to work on Android? I've tried PC and android they won't merge. Says it's un readable. I have a gaming pc and mod all the time. I've never had this much issues
Hi, sorry I just saw this!

Will you continue updating the game (with cove)
i love it so much i don't want it to end 🥺I would love to see kids stories and more :) Pleaseee never stop making games like this i live for them :D

Hello, I wanted to comment on an error that happens to me.
I have a Samsung A10 and when I open the application and press any option the game closes, I don't know if it only happens with my cell phone.
if they asked to fix that mistake I would be very grateful 😊
Maybe there's something in your permission settings or with your virus scanner that's stopping the game from being able to launch. Unfortunately, I can only guess what about your phone is having troubles. I hope you're able to figure it out.

I love the art and this made me realize on HOW HOT PEOPLE WITH GREEN HAIR IS 😍😍
Are men the only love interests in this game? The art looks cool and I love a good story. Can Cove become a best friend instead of a love interest?
Currently, men are the only possible LIs (Coven, then Derek and Baxter in their DLCs).
Cove can be your best friend instead of a LI only if you have Fond level of interest, or if you have Crush/Love but are not interested in pursuing the relationship further (I would also recommend choosing Low Initiative then, too).
Aww shucks. I wish there was a female love interest in the game. I'm a guy so I hoped for female characters. I love the art, it looks so cool and fantastic.
Yeah, this one is for male leads. But we're working on a new one with a female lead!
https://gbpatch.itch.io/our-life-nf
Awesome!!! Can't wait : )
Can i buy the dlcs with a gift card or no?
I don't believe you can. It's Paypal or a debit/credit card on Itch. I'm sorry.
thats ok guess ill just have to get more money lol
I played this game 5 times already...its that good... and i almost cried too, and i love the customization options for the player! Like we even got to add acne if we had any- it made me feel better about myself tbh :DD
um after you guys updated it today the Beaded hair became a error and if you ignore it, it turns invisible to make it look like your MC is bald XD
This was a really cool game. I enjoyed it a lot. There were some parts that felt a bit long winded, but overall the writing was really good. I wish there were different routes of romance.

I currently finished playing putting in 30 hours but, I enjoyed every minute. This is such a well made and written game and I absolutley ADORE it! To see everyone progress and grow is amazing. Great work ^^
this game is super based. love it
