I have a problem, I don't know if it happens to anyone else, but when I try to start a new game it instantly kicks me out, all any start option and it kicks me out and I've already tried deleting the file and downloading.
Tengo un problema,no se si a alguien más le pase , pero cuando intento empezar una nueva partida me saca al instante, todo cualquier opción del inicio y me saca y ya probé borrando el archivo y descargandolo de nuevo,descarga todos los assest pero en si no puedo iniciar una nueva partida
Is there a virus scanner on your device? Sometimes those automatically flag the game as suspicious. You might be able to make an exception that lets it run.
Sorry in advance for the lengthy, potentially nonsense, rambling to follow.
"I was never really insane except upon occasions when my heart was touched." -E.A.Poe
This is one of the most incredible games I've ever played. It feels like standing out in a gentle rain just before the sun shines through and warms your upturned face. It's sitting alone on a beach at dusk and listening to the waves as the tide ebbs and flows. It feels like coming home.
I believe a work of fiction must be truly beautiful to make me homesick for somewhere I've never lived; nostalgic for a place that doesn't exist. This game will live in my heart forever, I think. It has settled there.
I found Our Life during a low point. The joy, warmth, and peace I found while playing carried on even going about my day. The heart bears a lot as you travel through life. It seeks moments of rest and unburdening. Mine found that here. That's a gift I can't repay nor express fully my gratitude toward. Thank you, GBPatch team, from the bottom of my heart.
Sorry again for the length and ridiculousness. And thank you if you read this far. Maybe you'll find rest here too. If not, I pray you find it somewhere.
I'm thinking about playing it, but I can't find out if it has a Spanish language option; is that option available? Or will it be a future implementation?
Unfortunately, there is no Spanish language option for the game, and we will be unable to implement that either. We still really appreciate your interest!
So I got the game and the dlcs, but whenever I open it and select something it closes the game. I've tried to update it by re downloading the game apk. It tells me the game has bugs and I should wait till the developer released an updated version. I'm using an Android and download the files for Android. I got four dlc, the wedding, step 1, 2, and 3, idk if they might have a bug or it's the main file.
Sorry about that! There shouldn't be any bugs, as this is the most up to date version of the game. It's possible there's an anti-virus program that's flagging the game, as this is something that happens sometimes. If there is, you might be able to create an exception for the game. If that doesn't work, message again and we can try something else. Thanks for playing, and hopefully we can figure this out!
It's literally the best game I've ever played, I almost started crying at the end knowing it would never be like the first time I played it, Clove the best character I've ever seen in my life
Yeah, I would totally play it if you can. This is one of my favorite games of all time. For me it has set the bar for visual novels, no others have come close.
I JUST FINISHED THE DEREK EPILOGUE AND I BAWLED MY EYES OUT. I LOVE THIS MAN SO MUCH WORDS IN THE DICTIONARY COULD NOT EXPRESS THE FEELINGS I HAVE FOR HIMM! It would be a dream come true if there was a Derek marriage dlc! But then again im also happy just being his girlfriend (and making out with him)
the first game I've played from this developer was Our Life: Now and Forever demo and when I saw they had another game I didn't think I'd love it even more, But I was SOOOO wrong. I immediately fell in love with the characters, plot, and art style. Our life: Beginning and always is the first Itch game that I want to spend money on! Cove is also my husband, and I would sell my soul to get him in real life.
For whatever reson, when i play the game it ends once I have my conversation with cove on the hill as YA in step 3. Is that the end of the game? Im confused on whether step 4 is a dlc because i cant find it anywhere on your page. For the record i play on andriod and haven't had any other problems with the game! Thank you (((o(*°▽°*)o)))
There should be three things that happen at the end: a final Step 3 scene, the credits, and then the Step 4 Epilogue scene (unless you have the Step 4 Wedding DLC). When you see the credits, just keep going a bit further after those, and the Epilogue scene should begin. If you're having more issues, just let me know and hopefully I can help!
i love this game os much i had to delete it off my other android phone because of a situation and im still crying over having to delete all my progress. WHY DOESNT IPHONE LET ME DOWNLOAD APPS UGHHH!!! this game CHANGED my life. im risking my chromebook thats ab to explode for this game because i love it so much. I LOVE COVE!!!!!!!!! he is the perfect man!!!!!
Do you have any problems getting to step 4? My game ends at 18 yrs at the hill 🥹 im also an android user so if theres anything else i have to do to get step 4 can u help me out (.❛ ᴗ ❛.)
The voiced name DLC should work with the Mac version. The instructions are on the specific page for that DLC. If you have any trouble with it, let me know and hopefully I can help!
our life is such a lovely game, and cove is such a incredible well written character, i'm astonished. i've trully loved this game, it's definitely one of the best visual novels i've played so far, i'll call it one of my favorites. for someone who's demi and also autistic, cove was the perfect rep for me! i'm in love with the way the world and our relationship with the characters (especially cove!), is builden. i wish i could say a lot more but i'm sadly with no time and english isn't my first game, but i just wanted to express how MUCH this game impacted on me. thanks for devs for their hard work.
Been playing for years now, truly a life changing experience. Cove is the first character I actually started growing attach to like a real person, I SCREECHED in happiness when I saw him as a full grown adult in Step 4! I'd do ANYTHING to have a partner like Cove. I can't help but keep coming back to this game since it's such a beautiful experience
This is a superb game. I know a teacher from QEHS (Queen Elizabeth High School) Hexham, Northumberland who used it in the classroom - until it was banned.
Our Life: Beginnings & Always is easily one of the most beautiful dating sims I’ve ever played, and I’ll do my best to put my love for it into words...somehow. (For context, I played it on Steam and loved it so much that I immediately bought all the DLCs there as well. Worth every penny.)
This game had been on my radar for a while, but I only recently got around to playing it. And I’m so glad I finally did. For my first playthrough, I started with just the free base game, and even that alone was an incredibly rich experience. The way you can shape not only your character but also the world around you felt so special. Watching the story progress through four different stages of life, seeing the characters grow not just in age but in personality, was deeply moving and created such a strong bond between the player and story.
After that first run, I knew I had to get the DLCs, and wow, they elevated the experience to a whole new level. Even the small changes they added brought such depth that it felt like a fresh, more complete journey. Growing up in Sunset Bird truly felt like being part of a living, breathing story.
And then there’s the man of the hour: Cove James Holden. What an absolute dreamboat. Watching him grow alongside the MC was so natural and heartfelt that falling in love with him was effortless. He’s so well written...sincere, genuinely sweet, layered, and just incredibly special. His story never felt forced or cheesy, it unfolded in such a genuine way that I was fully swept up in it every single time.
A huge shoutout to the Derek and Baxter DLCs as well! At first, I wasn’t sure how romances with them would feel compared to Cove’s story, but GBPatch completely nailed it. Both routes felt just as natural and emotionally rich, with their own unique charms in their respective Steps. Exploring Step 4 in different ways because of these DLCs added even more layers to an already wonderful game.
This game was such a perfect experience, and I’m truly hoping to see more like it in the future. Thank you, GBPatch, for something so special.
I am STILL HERE AHHHH i think its been 2 years (maybe 3?) Since i first found and played and i still come back. Love the game and the people who made it. It feels like a love letter to people like me.
this game makes me so emotional the story is absolutely INCREDIBLE!! so much attention to detail in this game, no single playthrough has been the same for me!!!
This was one of the best games ive played. The story is beautifully written by your own choices and you feel inside the game at all times. I got emotional everytime I saw the characters grow and felt attached to them. I really loved it. thank you.
Now im gonna go 2 sleep because i´ve stayed all night playing this and my body is screaming for help haha.
And again, thank you for the experience, it was beautiful.
I'm going to replay this visual novel in a couple of and buy all of the DLCs. May every piece of good fortune land on whoever contributed to making this knockout of a game.

Sorry about that! Do you get any error messages when this happens? Are you playing on PC, Linux, Mac, or Android? Hopefully we can help.
I play on Android, and I don't get any error messages, the visual novel downloads fine but when I touch any option at the start it kicks me out

Love this game so much, but I miss little Shiloh! He was so adorable, definitely my second fav character. MY SHAYLAA
If you want more of him, he's one of the LIs in XOXO Love Droplets (one of their older games)!!
He is a romance option in XOXO droplets! I recommend that game if you'd like to see him more.
