I didn't know it was possible to blush this much for a fictional character... And I've been simping for anime boys for a long LONG time. If that doesn't say how absolutely amazing this game is, idk what will
the amount of options you could choose from on this game was AMAZING. I loved how deep into the game you could get, it was absolutely amazing!!!! Its rare to come across a dating sim like this where you can get close to the characters and build your relationships with them, im SO happy i chose to play this game because OMG. it was so jaw dropping how this game is, the way you can also really choose who you were was super cool! I loved that sm, this game is one like ive never played before :') it was so cool being able to literally grow up alongside the characters and get to know them more and more, there is so much more i can say about this game but omg, this is peak video game. its so detailed and fun to play, as well as being something where you can make a LOT of choices, the art is also beautiful and i love looking at it, same thing goes for the characters designs!! i hereby declare this video game, flabbergastingly amazing.
1. Download the zip file after purchase and extract the zip to get a folder
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
After that, the build you already had will now include all the extra content this DLC gives.
ANDROID:
1. Download the apk file after purchase.
2. Locate the file in your file manager and install it. You may have to give your file manager additional permissions to install from external sources.
3. Open the app after installation. You should see a message confirming you've successfully installed the DLC.
4. If you have any more DLC to install, repeat steps 1-3 with any other DLC you're installing.
5. Download and install the base Our Life game (the voice or no voice version). When you open the app, any DLC you installed through steps 1-4 should be available.
I have an android 12 and I have managed to get it downloaded on my device with a GB or two to spare but when I open it and get past the loading screen, it crashes? My system takes up a lot of undeletable space so do I have to squeeze some space out of my phone or is it something wrong with the game? It's the unvoiced one and I really want to play this game but alas if it's not possible I'd like to 100% know so I don't give up too soon on one of my favorite games.
Having more space may solve the problem. Changing settings to allow games not from the Google Playstore might be needed. Seeing if a virus scanner is forcing it closed is another idea. But sadly, it could be a number of things and there's no way to know for sure what the issue is. I'm sorry for that.
Okay, the only reason why i made this account was to comment on this, but this is one of the most deep rooted and amazing games I've ever played. The way you progress throughout different years, making you feel closer to the characters and the development in their relationships. I stayed up on a school night playing for 12 hours straight and I JUST reached step 4. Honestly props to the creator and everyone who worked on this because this is one of the best detailed and wonderful visual novels out there, all for FREE which surprises me with how long it is. Thank you to the creators for blessing us with the best adventures and experiences, I can't imagine how long it took. I love the progression with cove, and I'm officially obsessed with the beach. I don't even know how to swim!
istg ive tried everything to figure out how to get this one lol but i seriously cant figure it out, its part of the step two bit, can someone please tell me how to unlock it? ive got literally ever other one but this one
I believe that's the spot for telling Cove about his dad's offer to pay you to be his friend in Step 2. If you haven't told him in Step 1, you get the option to do it when you're over at Cove's house for dinner.
So, I've played this game several times over on PC and am absolutely in love with it! Though, I'm trying to play it on Android, and it just crashes.. I go into it and after its done loading, the moment i try to click anything, it kicks me out. After doing that two or three times, my phone said the app was kicking me out bc it had a bug and suggested clearing my cache for the app, but it didn't do anything.. Has anyone else come across this/figured out how to fix it?
I'm sorry, there isn't a bug but it is just very hard for some android devices to run. It could be a virus scanner thing or a processing thing or some other setting. There's no way to know for sure.
The main game is not adult-only. But there are extra scenes available only on our Patreon that do have uncensored adult content for those who enjoy that.
I have to say that this is one of the most expansive, reactive, and deep visual novels I have ever played. The level of craftsmanship that went into it is incredible. Its almost hard to believe that this is an Indie game. Feels more like a TripleA made a visual novel, honestly. So, so good. I'm subscribed to the patreon, and I can't wait to see what comes out of Now and Forever!
Omg totally recommend almost bawled my eyes out. Left happy but bittersweet memories. Cant support financially but will share with friends. Looking forward to new amazing games!
Eventually, should I have access to that type of money, I tend to purchase the DLCs. I love this game and it really gave me so many things I never had.
haha, he's a younger cameo from another project made by the studio, XOXO Blood Droplets. Shiloh...is, uh, certainly a character. But I won't spoil it for you.
hello! I would be more than happy to help with translations for the OurLife series from English to Spanish if that's ever something yall would want to do :)
Loved this game btw. Loved all the storylines, it made me cry and just smile so wide. After the first playthrough, I had to buy the DLCs and I don't regret it. Cove is forever precious<3 Looking forward to your next projects!
I only have good things to say about this game. I started playing it two years ago and it is simply an amazing find. I'd play it for a few hours a week just to extend the wholesome feeling it basks you in. The pacing, the characters, the bittersweetness of growing up and discovering your identity... Gosh, and our family— they are the sweetest characters with the perfect mix of realism. (All the characters are).
I like the take of us being adopted (yayyyy inclusion~ ^_^). I like the community we grew up in, a lovely quaint little town. I like the tiny adventures we'd go on and how those memories became fonder with time. I adored Cove and his family from the very beginning. He will always have a special place in my heart.
All in all, a magnificent find. From the storyline to the art and the soundtrack, I'll play this game over and over for a long time. (I teared up when I reached the end, as you can probably tell).
10/10. Thank you so much for your work, Team. You will always have my support.
stop this i love this game sm 😭 ive played SOOO many of these kinds of games and everytime i see this one i get butterflies is so good!! its really well drawn and well written, and its overall adorable. HARDCORE WISHING MY LIFE WAS LIKE THIS FR!!
This is the best otome that i've ever played. i feel really attached to the story and all the character as I cry when i play the marriage dlc. like i cried so much is really beautiful and heartwarming especialy when lizz doing her speech on mc wedding(dlc) because i kinda have love hate situation with lizzie at first but when i read her speech it was like-- speechless and full of tears it was perfect! this otome not fast-paced you take one at time slowly seeing all of them grown up i feel like being a mom seeing all her kids growing up. the developer and their team needs more love. please support them more and i hope it'll getting more dlc after marriage!! ><
The first game I fully invested in >< I finally got to buy the DLCs!!! Thank you so much to the GBPatch team for making it, it's such a comfort game and the atmosphere of the game makes me feel so safe :D
I think MC being in such a nurturing and accepting environment hit the hardest since I never got that, and being able to experience it in a game while "growing up" just made me so happy. Thank you :)
God this game really captured me. It grabbed my heart and held on tight. Never have I felt such an array of emotions or has a game made me experience something so wonderful. Shit I'm crying just writing this. I played through the entire game in one sitting. I felt so much love through this game and I'm going to miss being Jamie for all those summers. I'm going to miss you cove.
Guys, since I finished the whole game (and all the DLC since I bought them all) I already feel too empty again, it's like a part of me died, I love this game too much and it's better than all the ones I played, nothing Will it provoke emotions in me like this game did, maybe in the future or it will never happen, who knows? a dlc of baxter or derek, wedding version like the one from cove, I already imagined them with a suit 😭, or some dlc with the three boys when we already formed our family and have children with them, the thought is nice, I can't help but imagine them being parents or how they take care of their children, I want to cry now damn it 😒
yess i understand exactly how u feel 😭😭 these developers are also making a new game like this if you didnt know (im sorry if u did) and its called our life now and forever! theres only a demo out and is set to release in 2025, but it looks really good so far!!
IF THAT NEW GAME, I TRIED IT YESTERDAY AND IT LEFT ME SPEECHLESS, THOSE TWO "OUR LIFE" ARE PERFECT, I DON'T HAVE WORDS TO DESCRIBE HOW PERFECT THEY ARE, IF THE GAME FINISHES FROM BEING IN BETA TO BEING ALPHA, MAYBE THEY WILL PUT DLC INTO IT LIKE IN THE OTHER GAME 😭 (god sometimes I think that both games are in the same universe when I see Baxter, maybe that's where he was born and raised? Or am I going crazy? 😭, I wish in the future that both games have many dlc, I would spend all my money on them)
There is DLC confirmed for the second game, namely Step expansion DLCs and a wedding DLC, but there aren’t any confirmed DLCs that add additional love interests.
And yes, both games are set in the same universe, so the Baxter you see in the first game is the same one you see in the second.
I have this on steam with all the dlc but my laptop is broken and I was wondering if there is any way for stuff to transfer over so I can play on my phone?
I'm afraid not. You can transfer DLCs between computers/laptops using Steam and Itch because the DLCs are the same whether you get them through Steam or Itch for PC and Mac. But the Android build is a totally different thing from how those function and its only on Itch. There's no comparable build on Steam to swap with. You can't get Itch-only builds by buying the game on Steam.
I played on Steam. Its like walking down the memory lane remembering about how i used to called my friend with house phone etc, love tidbits like james and the giant peach lol
Cove is my fav
Too bad there is no name translated for Nora 😢
Is there differences between steam version if bought all dlcs & patreon-only? Btw its my 3rd playthru, i noticed the changes with cove each playthru which was nice touch. I find it funny how i made Cove into a foodie like my mc in my 2nd playthru
Hello! I play on PC and on Mac. I downloaded all of my DLCs on steam but im unable to download them onto my Mac, and since my PC has now stopped working I don't have access to them. Is there any way I will be able to access the dlcs from steam or will I have to repurchase them on here? thank you for the amazing games!
I'm sorry that happened! The DLCs for PC and Mac are exactly the same. You can download the free Mac version of the main game from here and just put the DLCs you got from Steam into the Mac Our Life "game" folder . You don't have to buy them again to do that. But if you want the DLCs officially unlocked in your Itch library, you would have to buy them. Steam purchase can't give you Itch keys.
You just have to browse local files for Our Life on Steam, it's on option through managing the game in your Steam library. Then you can find the dlc .rpa files and copy/paste those into the "game" folder of the mac version of Our Life.
sorry for the late reply again- I have tried this but since im unable to install the game on my mac on steam, the option to browse local files isnt even there. Thanks for the help though!!
I'm sorry. If you can't get the PC to work at all or salvage the data in anyway and have to start 100% fresh on Mac, than there wouldn't be a way to access the DLCs for Steam on Mac. But we are hoping next year to make OL available for Mac on Steam.

I didn't know it was possible to blush this much for a fictional character... And I've been simping for anime boys for a long LONG time. If that doesn't say how absolutely amazing this game is, idk what will
honestly, that was the best game I had ever played in my entire life. I NEED MORE OF THISS!!
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH THIS IS MY NEW HYPERFIXATION
the amount of options you could choose from on this game was AMAZING. I loved how deep into the game you could get, it was absolutely amazing!!!!

Is there a way i could transfer my itch.io copy to steam? Didn't realize it was on there when i bought it unfortunately :/
how do i play cove step 2 dlc, like add it to the game
WINDOWS/LINUX/MAC:
1. Download the zip file after purchase and extract the zip to get a folder
2. Open the folder of your current Our Life Build and find the "game" folder inside.

It's right in the FAQ!
thx but it says compressing but it doesn't show it actually doing anything, its just a white bar
How do i play? like how do i open the game
It depends on if you're playing on a Windows, Linux, Mac or Android device.
how do i redownload the dlc? or do i have to buy it again
You can get it from the Owned Games section of your library!
I have an android 12 and I have managed to get it downloaded on my device with a GB or two to spare but when I open it and get past the loading screen, it crashes? My system takes up a lot of undeletable space so do I have to squeeze some space out of my phone or is it something wrong with the game?

I love the progression with cove, and I'm officially obsessed with the beach.
I don't even know how to swim!
10/10 this is the most wholesome game ever.
Im having a hard time downloading the game to my phone and tablet, ive done it in the past but ive gotten a new phone since then.
istg ive tried everything to figure out how to get this one lol but i seriously cant figure it out, its part of the step two bit, can someone please tell me how to unlock it? ive got literally ever other one but this one

ohhh omg that explains it cus i think in like every playthrough i chose to tell him in step 1 lol, tysm!!

Is this game available on consoles, like the PS4 or Switch, or only on PC?
is this like and Adult type game ? Like uncensored stuff ?
The main game is not adult-only. But there are extra scenes available only on our Patreon that do have uncensored adult content for those who enjoy that.

I've never gotten so attached to a character before. This game was truly stunning, 10/10 would recommend :) I got so sad when I got to the end of it
same I didn't want it to end it was so good
Eventually, should I have access to that type of money, I tend to purchase the DLCs. I love this game and it really gave me so many things I never had.
I love it! I followed since day 1! I have a question thought! Are we ever gonna get a wedding dlc for baxter and derek?
Glad you like it! But I'm afraid not. We're no longer making new stories for this project.
I'm just starting but dear god Shilou has me screaming. HE'S SO CUTEEE HELP MEEE
haha, he's a younger cameo from another project made by the studio, XOXO Blood Droplets. Shiloh...is, uh, certainly a character. But I won't spoil it for you.
yeahhh i went over to XOXO Droplets and...hm.
hello! I would be more than happy to help with translations for the OurLife series from English to Spanish if that's ever something yall would want to do :)
Thank you for the interest! But at 1.25 million words, there's almost no chance we'll ever be able have it translated. I'm sorry.
this is embarrassing to ask lol but im not too sure where in the game folder i should put the dlc i downloaded, can someone pls help?
nvm i figured it out im dumb haha (it didnt take me 8 hours to get it i just forgot to reply to myself until now ok)
I am also quite dumb, where did you put 'em?
u put it in the folder called "game" :)
Loved this game btw. Loved all the storylines, it made me cry and just smile so wide. After the first playthrough, I had to buy the DLCs and I don't regret it. Cove is forever precious<3 Looking forward to your next projects!
Me gusto demasiado, no dejo de querer jugarlo una y otra vez. Ojalá lo traduzcan al español
Can u backtrack on android? like how u can scroll back on ur mouse to change a decision on pc

Cove saved me, because I was soooooo ready to give up on love!
HOW DO I SEE JEREMY AGAIN AFTER STEP 2???
You need to have the Step 3 DLC and play one of those extra Moments!
I MIGHT BUY IT AT THIS POINT- ITS BEEN A YEAR ALREADY I NEED MORE OF HIM
XOXO Droplets by GBPatch has a romanceable Jeremy
God this game really captured me. It grabbed my heart and held on tight. Never have I felt such an array of emotions or has a game made me experience something so wonderful. Shit I'm crying just writing this. I played through the entire game in one sitting. I felt so much love through this game and I'm going to miss being Jamie for all those summers.

I fell out of OLBA for a while, but I recently found a playlist that reminded me just how much I love this game. I'm back!!!

I'm pretty sure they're the same person! if I'm not wrong I think they have the same last names!!
My mind is really exploding, bro. I'm literally like this 🤯
There is DLC confirmed for the second game, namely Step expansion DLCs and a wedding DLC, but there aren’t any confirmed DLCs that add additional love interests.
And yes, both games are set in the same universe, so the Baxter you see in the first game is the same one you see in the second.
ABOUT BAXTER ALREADY CONFIRMS MY THEORY, HOW CUTE HE IS AS A CHILD😭, OH THANK YOU FOR THAT INFORMATION, I THANK YOU VERY MUCH
friend, you understand me so well 😔
I have this on steam with all the dlc but my laptop is broken and I was wondering if there is any way for stuff to transfer over so I can play on my phone?
I don't think so, since our Life doesn't link it to any network like Facebook or Google☹️

Glad you enjoyed the game! The Patreon only bonus Moments are stand-alone stories that aren't on Steam or Itch.io.
