i follow them on twitter but i remember them working on Derek dlc i think he's also a love interest same as Baxter but the main couple i think is Cove.
This has quickly become one of my favorite games. It is so very comforting and uplifting, I feel genuine joy and happiness during my playthroughs and I just want to thank the developers from the bottom of my heart. They're literally making the games that I have always wanted to play. On that note, I am definitely looking forward to their future projects!
I've gone through a single playthrough of version 1.5.3 without DLCs and thought I'd leave an honest review (skip to summary if seems like a rant).
First off, the devs did an all-in-all amazing job with this game.
The base game's biggest selling points would definitely have to be its down-to-earth realism and the amount of influence and control the player has through the even greater amount of choices you're offered. It really does feel like you're 'living a life' so to speak, with all the emotional attachments that entails. This, I believe, represents the true essence of a visual novel, and the Our Life embodies that really well. And the fact that they're still working on improving the game makes it that much better.
Moreover, I couldn't really point out major flaws in the gameplay or story even if I tried. But if I were to truly be a nagging nancy about this, I think that, though it is probably not planned and never will be, the story itself could have really done with at least a DLC of 'school life' considering how important it is in shaping a person - as much as that is annoying to admit. I think the dynamics between the player, Cove, and the other characters at school would have done well to fill in that 'gap', so to speak. With that said, I'm not really expecting it considering the way the game was designed and how much of a hefty undertaking it would be to actually forcefully include something like that at this stage.
There was one other nit-picky thing I wanted to say about one or two lines of text somewhat neglecting the choices I had made almost entirely during steps 1 and 3 (I think), but I honestly forgot what those lines were. I might leave another review after another playthrough or two, and I'll let you know what the lines were after my next playthroughs, which I definitely plan on considering I'm super excited to see Derek and Baxter action when their DLCs come around.
Speaking of, I sure hope that, at least with Derek, we could influence their personality and appearance through our interactions with them (or by force) like we do with Cove. That would be really neat.
In summary, even without DLCs, this game is amazing and would recommend to anyone interested in the concept of visual novels. It is, in so few words, the ideal I think VNs should aim to be.
omg i cant even describe how much i love this game. i especially love how you dont have to be in a romantic relationship with him and you can move in together while staying besties :) as someone who dreams of doing that with my best friend someday, i really appreciated that.
Um, question. How do you add the DLC files to the game on a computer? I tried to search it up and stuff but I haven't gotten any responses that would help me. If anyone could kindly help me I'd appreciate it. Thank you!
2. Open the folder of your current Our Life Build and find the "game" folder inside. To view folders on Mac you might have to right click the application launcher and select "view package contents" and you may have to open a couple different folders before you find the "game" folder tucked away inside
3. Move or copy/paste the rpa file into the Our Life "game" folder
Hi! Just reporting because I was playing the game and it exited itself then I went to the folder to find the game file and it was deleted. So instead I did the back up one, our life-32. It worked for awhile then did the same thing. I tried refreshing, nothing. I was sad because I was almost at the 3rd step. So if you could please try to fix this or help me try to fix it. That will be really helpful thank you.
Edit: Tried to download the game again didn't work for some reason. It won't let me because it said I didn't have permission?
It was removed by your virus scanner, most likely. Sometimes the game is falsely flagged as dangerous and the scanner quarantines the file. You'll need to tell your scanner to trust it or turn the scanner off while running the game. I'm sorry for the trouble!
I'm afraid I'd need more info to give any concrete advice. But it's possible you're using a save file that's too old to work with the current version or some part of your game isn't fully updated (the base version of the game and/or the wedding DLC file). Those are usually the causes of problems in the wedding DLC.
Love the game so much I just wish I could buy the dlc's but yeah. Its just quite too expensive for me (in our currency I mean). Well I can make it 20 dollar. Just wait. TvT.
So good that it ruined other visual novels for me (/hj) I've played MANY VNs and I genuinely believe that this is the best i've ever played! Can't wait for the second!
Honestly, Tik Tok doesn't have enough hype for this wonderful game. I saw this game being promoted on itch's website in 2019 and even downloaded the beta version. It sounded interesting; a visual novel/life sim game where your MC bonds with their new neighbor Cove. It sounded right up my alley so I think I donated some funds to help its development. I soon forgot about it though but it was saved in my favorites. I finally got around to downloading the game and the dlcs that came with it and OMG!!! This game turned out better than I ever expected. And now I'm fangirling so bear with me. Obviously, this game is amazing and well-executed. But what really got me for the game was how nostalgic and relatable the game was. There were some scenes in there that I had done myself in my youth. Like the scene where the MC and her cousin put on a show for their family. I did the same thing with my cousin when I was younger. Or how the Mc's moms would always tell Mc "Good night, sleep tight don't let the bed bugs bite" before bed. My mom said the same thing to me every night. And don't even get me started on Cove. The Cove I had was a really sensitive guy who was prone to crying when his emotions got the best of him and he was terrible at intimacy or sexual situations. All in all, he was an adorable crybaby. And I was honestly wondering if that would put me off the game because I've never gone for sensitive partners in rl but no. I found myself always cooing and reassuring Cove whenever his crying sprite would come up. Like full-on, "No Cove baby, don't cry." It was...definitely a new experience for me. And I loved how the game tackled the serious topics presented, like divorce, adoption, pressure, etc. Cove's parents' story was my favorite one to experience because my parents' story was similar. I feel like stories of divorce are always seen in a negative light when that's not the case. Some people don't work out or click in the end and that's okay. Of course, I totally cried. I could go on and on about the many ways I loved this game but I'm going to end with the final dlc; the wedding. My god, that was amazing. A fully customizable wedding; from the colors, to the cake design, to the music, everything. I appreciated how the game added traditions like jumping over the broom or breaking glass (I picked the jumping over the broom option because my family does that). And maybe this was because I was already 10 hours into the game but when I did the wedding planning, I was tired. At some point, I was frustrated that there was so much to decide on. Really nailed the frustration and mentally exhausting ordeal of planning a wedding there. I'm a little peeved there wasn't a garter toss option for the wedding but maybe it was personality-specific or something. I would have liked that as an option but the bouquet toss makes up for it. I had to videotape the game because I was so impressed with it. I'm excited to see what the alternative love interest routes have in store.
One of the best games I've ever played, brings so much comfort its unbelievable! Thank you to the devs, I'll buy any future dlcs to support the amazing work you guys bring<3
I think it’s one of the best games I’ve ever played. There are a lot of positives: Cove is first of all an extremely touching character, the other characters of the game are as endearing as he is, the graphics are incredible, the music too. I love that we can personalize Cove’s appearance as well as ours! The fact that we can really create our own story with several different choices is fabulous! The only "negative" point, even if it’s not really bad, would be to be able to see the entire appearance of our character when we customize it and to have the French version (well that would be just a little extra).
Anyway, I thank the developers for this beautiful game, it’s a very good job!
I've been following this game mostly silently since step 2, and I'm just so amazingly happy at how awesome this game has turned out to be. This will be one of my favorite games forever & always.
I can get this game to run with all the DLCs on pc but despite following all the instructions I can't seem to get it to run on my phone. I've got an ASUS rog phone 5, the file manager shows the file path the same as the instructions say "Android/data/ourlife.demo.apk/game/dlc_step_(1)(2)(3).rpa" but it just continuously shows not installed no matter how many times I restart the phone and app. Its a great game, if your on pc, but its just the demo on mobile it seems

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!!!
this game has honestly gotten me through a lot of hard times in my personal life and i thank the devs GBPatch for making this, it was the first game where i felt like i could be myself so...thanks <3
What a heartwarming and engaging experience! It feels more like an experience than an actual game! I was just about in tears when I got to the end and I can't wait to see what you you do in the future, devs!
Honestly a beautiful game! I really suggest you to play this. I was so sad when I saw that the game ended, my heart literally broke. But I really hope you release games like this! :)
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 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)

Wait so there's only one lover? Who is it
i follow them on twitter but i remember them working on Derek dlc i think he's also a love interest same as Baxter but the main couple i think is Cove.
so is there isn't a female character?
No, but the next game will have at least one female love interest. This game focuses on male love interests.
oh ok another time

This game was beautiful and heartwarming, I'm so glad I stumbled upon this.
I love this game so much!! It always lightens up my mood. Just impossible to play this game without smile
Once I have resources, I will definitely buy all its DLC.

What a heartwarming and engaging experience! It feels more like an experience than an actual game! I was just about in tears when I got to the end and I can't wait to see what you you do in the future, devs!
Honestly a beautiful game! I really suggest you to play this. I was so sad when I saw that the game ended, my heart literally broke. But I really hope you release games like this! :)
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

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 LOVE this game so much!! been spending hours on end playing it!
is romance possible with baxter and derek??
not yet i think
but u need dlc:v
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!
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
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
I cried a lil
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!
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.
thanks. Ill have to give it a go
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.
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
fr
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 have a question: Do you accept money other than dollars, or does it have to be dollars? (And please reply me)
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!
Thank you
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)
