Getting the game on Steam can only give you the game on Steam, and Steam doesn't have a way to host APKs. I'm afraid it's impossible to get an Android version by purchasing on that storefront.
Not trying to be that kinda guy, but I'm pretty sure it's possible. You can configure both the game and any DLC to have a zip file in the root folder. Other indie games do this for artbooks, for example.
I think there's a misunderstanding. I'm afraid Steam doesn't let developers release games with Android APKs secretly included when they don't support Android launches. They check for files that shouldn't be there and will force it to be changed before it can be allowed on their storefront. It's not like Itch.io where you can add pretty much any kind of file type you want.
Does anyone know how to update the game after downloading a new DLC? Ive moved the files to the correct 'games' file but opening the game does not show it in the check list of DLCs. (This is Derek specific DLC). Do i need to update the game? Will i loose progress or is there a way to avoid that? Ive downloaded all the past DLCs a while ago and may have forgotten how to implement them
Edit: The main reason for my concern is that i dont see a confirmation on the downloaded DLC page of the Derek DLC like the others. It may simply be that the DLC is active but just does not show on the DLC page ingame.
You have to have the most recent update of the main game for Derek's DLC to work. You won't lose saves by deleting and re-downloading the main build. Just make sure you add all the DLCs, including the ones you already had, to the newer Our Life folder. There's instructions you can follow to add them on the page!
Many thanks. I was hesitant to delete the main build but downloading the most recent one and replacing it has worked. Thanks for the quick response and amazing work as always, its always appreciated.
It's a wonderful narrative, containing beautifully written characters with whom I personally can relate, in an equally beautiful world, with delightful art.
I've never spent money here, usually I do on Playstation Store and Steam and that's about it. I didn't even know how to use Paypal, but yesterday I impulsively decided to get the DLC for Step 2 and will get the other ones as well. Eventually I will be replaying to also play the game with all the content I missed from Step 1.
I've never really commented on games before but i had to for this one i really enjoyed this game it took me a long time to complete but it was worth it I've downloaded the demo to our life nf and i cant wait for the full game to come, keep up the hard work :)
i played a lot of vn but i never seen such an incredible like this one, the story, characters, options, the steps and memorys are awesome and the end made me cry. i hope that someday i can play the dlc!!!
Thank you so much for making this game. It's such a beautiful and sweet story and Cove has won my heart in a way that not many video game characters ever have. Thank you so much for all of the hard work you put into this game!
I just finished this game and it makes me long for a life this beautiful. I plan to buy the DLC to experience the wonders of it in full but even with the free version this game feels so complete, thank you so much for pouring your hearts into this. I will never forget how these characters made me feel.
I can't play it on mobile! I bought a new phone because my old one was crushed beyond repair. I downloaded the game like normal but the game crashes whenever I clicked on a new file! What's going on? The game was working on my old phone but it doesn't work on this one. Sad I can't play this on mobile anymore :(
It's possible you need more space to play it or a virus scanner on this phone is more strict and is closing the game out because it thinks it's dangerous. Unfortunately, I can only guess because the problem is device-specific.
Is that so? I downloaded Our Life Now & Forever after that and it's working just fine... Oh well, I can still play on PC so I guess it's not too bad. Thanks for the reply!
This won't fix the problem though it could get you playing on phone again.
Maybe get the steam version?
All you need to download on your new phone is the 'steam link' app, and on your computer download the steam app and click play after downloading the game.
Click connect to a computer on your phone on steam link app and connect like Bluetooth to the game.
Now as long your computer has energy, once connected to the phone even if you flip the lid of the computer down and make it sleep it will still play on your phone.
Before you can play though make sure your game is downloaded again to your library in your steam profile as if it isn't it won't show in steam link even if you bought it.
If it glitches too much while playing that just means you need to open the lid so it can reconnect with the game, or wifi is glitching, though I found that saving on file and reloading on to that saved file multiple times often fixes that problem completely.
Just something to consider, it won't crash if steam doesn't crash on your PC.
I have a tendency of becoming attached to books and such alike.. And let me just say, this, what you've created, was just an immediate ✨it✨ factor, everything was simply amazing. So so glad to have found this.
This game is absolutely amazing, I even recommended this to my sister and she loved it! I could never get tired of playing it! This game’s story, characters, and the scenarios are absolutely perfect in every way! Yet, I wished I could play on my ipad and not on the pc since I want to take the app along with me when I go on outings, but overall this game is a 10 out of 10, totally recommend.
I've played this game over & over again, from the demo to now :) I will never get tired of how beautiful, emotional, & amazing it is. It will always have a special place in my heart, thank you guys for creating this game & others.
Ya'll are some amazingly talented individuals.｡･ﾟヾ(✦థ ｪ థ)ﾉ｡ﾟ･｡
hey, i was wondering if there is a reason Cove has wavy eyebrows, was it just a design choice or is there a reason for the shape? i've played this game so many times and i never really thought about it until now.
I came for romantic love, and stayed for all the experiences with our family and the Holden family. It's so crazily immersive and so customizable that whenever they compliment me, I feel like they are speaking to me and not my character. As someone who had a horrible childhood if there was any, I want to thank GBPatch for allowing me to experience being in a loving and caring household. For once, I can experience it myself and know I'm worthy of unconditional love from my family(instead of always jealously onlooking others). Thank you guys.
You just need to extract the zipped folder using something like Winzip or similar program. Then there's a launcher inside the opened folder that you click to open the game.
You can say you like him and/or kiss him at the very end of Step 2 if you have a crush, but you're not really getting together at that point 'cause you're just a couple of thirteen-year-olds.
WAIT IT ISNT OVER ???? COVE AUTISM REAL???? THIS IS THE BEST NEWS IVE HEARD !!! THE ONLY AUSTISIC REP IVE SEEN IN GAMES IS GIN FROM YTTD!! WOW!! THIS IS AWEOME
I really like this game, its soo cute, and Cove is such a sweetheart. I also love how diverse not only the customization of your character is but the rest of characters as well. I personally loved the autistic and trans representation, i feel seen! I genuinely connected with Cove and the rest of characters, which i usually dont. Im gonna miss them
This is just way too good I genuinely love him so much. I wanted to get the friendly ending at the end but I just love him too much I ended up dating him after all. Cove is just too lovely, and I love the sister's relationship with MC. And thank you for making this game as diverse as possible. I'll be looking forward to your future works!
I just stayed up for well over 8 hours straight playing this, and I only stopped because I don't want it to end. Everything about this is amazing. To the writing, music, characters, endless choice options, to the amount of personalization provided, it's truly more than a work of art. It's a game that makes you feel nostalgic, at home. You truly feel like you're growing up with these characters, and you guys did it beautifully. I know I'll eventually continue this game and finish it and be depressed, but thank you for giving us an opportunity to know Cove and this story. You've touched thousands of hearts and healed hundreds. Thank you, and I look forward to finishing my journey with this game!
I finished the game and honestly don't know how to feel. I so badly want more, but there's nothing left to touch. I played the perfect route, I played our route. I absolutely loved this game, even though I'm now filled with a loving void. It started with a $20 bill, and it ended with me falling in love with not just Cove, but the entire game itself. Thank you again, for the opportunity to play such a wonderful game!
This game is literally the cutest game in the whole entire world! The story was amazing and I enjoyed replaying the game to try out all of the different options. Cove is such a cutie lmao. 10/10, I would recommend playing!!! <3
hi!! ive had this game since it released (and i love it :). recently though, its been saying that i'm missing the soiree file, then either making me skip the scene or it just closes the game immediately. this hasn't happened to me before and i can't seem to fix it. ive tried to redownload the game but it still says the same thing. i have all the extension packs added to the game so could that possibly be affecting it? if you possibly know why its doing this could you help me fix it? thank you!!
omg tysm!! i updated everything and now its running great. i was genuinely upset for a while cause i love this game. so glad i can start playing it again :D
i can say with pride that i binged this entire game in one night, midnight to abt 7 am and it is beautiful. thank you as a trans man for having the pronoun options :)
because of this game i've been crying for days when it ended.. WHY COVE ISN'T REAL?! i wanna do a crime in this moment but i've gotta say this game is very good and i like it very much
makes me cry but in a positive way too............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................^^
It took me like 5/6 hours to finish the entire game (I am just flexing), but I wanted to say that the whole game really made me emotional while playing it and I'm really glad that I decided to install it. I like the game so much that I sometimes get back to it just to see what would happen if I picked a different answer, have a nice day/night and remember to stay hydrated. ❤
This is DEF one of my favorite visual novels. This game got me giggling and swinging my feet frfr. I wish I had money to buy the dlcs :'(... Also looking forward to Our life N&F! Live, laugh, love Cove Holden <3
Since the game isn't from the right store, your settings won't allow you to download it right now. You'll have to turn on Chrome OS Developer Mode to install it. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
I've spent an hour or two trying to get the apk for Android to work. I'm kicked out of the app everytime. Did anyone with Android make it work and how? I really want to play this game
It might need more space than it seems or your virus scanner/basic phone settings might not let it run because it's a random app that's not from the normal GooglePlaystore. Sometimes a system decides it's too suspicious to run. Checking your permissions and/or opening up more memory might help!
I'm sorry, I don't know what's happening with that error or the bug it's saying the game has. I'll try to see what's going on, it might be a compatibility problem with whichever specific Android device you have.

I bought all the DLCs on Steam, would I have to pay for them again if I wanted the APKs?
Getting the game on Steam can only give you the game on Steam, and Steam doesn't have a way to host APKs. I'm afraid it's impossible to get an Android version by purchasing on that storefront.
Is there anything I could do to get them?
If you'd like you can try and get a refund through Steam because it's not the platform you want.
Alright
Not trying to be that kinda guy, but I'm pretty sure it's possible. You can configure both the game and any DLC to have a zip file in the root folder. Other indie games do this for artbooks, for example.

I FUCKING KNEW IT I KNEW THAT MAN WAS AUTISTIC FROM THE MOMENT I SAW HIM ASFDHEGFUUFGGAGFHR

All I can say is...
It's a wonderful narrative, containing beautifully written characters with whom I personally can relate, in an equally beautiful world, with delightful art.

Such a masterpiece. Thank you so much, it was so fantastic, and I cried a lot due to happiness

hey, i was wondering if there is a reason Cove has wavy eyebrows, was it just a design choice or is there a reason for the shape? i've played this game so many times and i never really thought about it until now.
It's a design choice because of the game's ocean theme and because it made him look kind of nervous/concerned by default, haha.
I came for romantic love, and stayed for all the experiences with our family and the Holden family. It's so crazily immersive and so customizable that whenever they compliment me, I feel like they are speaking to me and not my character. As someone who had a horrible childhood if there was any, I want to thank GBPatch for allowing me to experience being in a loving and caring household. For once, I can experience it myself and know I'm worthy of unconditional love from my family(instead of always jealously onlooking others). Thank you guys.
im probably rlly slow for asking this but how do i open the game? i rlly want to play but im kinda dumb and idk abt files n stuff.
You just need to extract the zipped folder using something like Winzip or similar program. Then there's a launcher inside the opened folder that you click to open the game.
Hey GBPatch, I wanted to know if you can get together with Cove in Step 2 already or does it start at the beginning of step 3 always?
You can say you like him and/or kiss him at the very end of Step 2 if you have a crush, but you're not really getting together at that point 'cause you're just a couple of thirteen-year-olds.
Nice then I did everything right! Thank you! :)
I love this game sm cove is just so UEUEUEUEUEUEEJAEDHJBAD I LOVE HIM????????????????
WAIT IT ISNT OVER ???? COVE AUTISM REAL???? THIS IS THE BEST NEWS IVE HEARD !!! THE ONLY AUSTISIC REP IVE SEEN IN GAMES IS GIN FROM YTTD!! WOW!! THIS IS AWEOME

Aye, the same thing is happening to me as well.
Edit: Downloading and updating the base game version to 1.6.3 worked for me.

LMAO I love your mc pfp!
thanks! Yours is cool too but I'm not very familiar with the character
i cant figure out how to get the game working on chrome?
It seems for some people you have to turn on Chrome OS Developer Mode to install it now. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Edit: like I think I might just watch a video but it’s not the same Yk
Since the game isn't from the right store, your settings won't allow you to download it right now. You'll have to turn on Chrome OS Developer Mode to install it. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
