Android Installation Guide

Bound to College
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

How to install Bound to College on Android devices:

Using a PC:

Download the Bound to College zip you will need software such as 7zip to extract the files.

Using your phone:

Download the Bound to College zip you will need software such as EZ file manager to extract the files (you can find these in the app store).

Before installing the APK file you need to install the OBB file, this contains all the graphics, etc so that the APK file isn’t too large. You can find the OBB file in the following directory on most android devices *remember you may need to have your phone unlocked and give permission to the PC to access files on the device*:

Phone (Your device) > Android > OBB

Inside the OBB folder you will notice other folders mostly named com.xxx. Inside here we need to create another folder – THIS PART IS IMPORTANT, IF NOT DONE CORRECTLY THE APP WILL CRASH ON LOADING – once you have created the new folder rename it: pridedrawing.bound2college

Place the OBB file entitled main.21.pridedrawing.bound2college.obb into this folder.

Once you have placed the OBB file into the folder you are ready to install the APK file – depending on how you have downloaded this to your phone, either through the phones browser or by USB you will likely to asked to allow installation from unknown sources. You must accept this in order to install the APK file. You only need to install one APK file depending on your device, don’t worry too much about this, your phone won’t install an incompatible version, you will just get the ‘cannot be installed’ error, in which case try one of the other versions.

If you are having problems locating the OBB folder you can find some useful videos on YouTube!

If the game crashes when loading this may be caused by one of the following things:

  • MOST LIKELY (99%) – the OBB file is not installed correctly, ensure you have created the folder as mentioned above and not just dropped the file into the OBB folder as the game wont be able to locate it properly. Make sure the folder is named exactly as above, pridedrawing.bound2college (check that you have put 2 and not to). The folder should NOT have com. in the name
  • Try installing a different version of the APK – may be a compatibility issue
  • Go into the App Permissions and enable the storage permissions.

You will now be able to load the game and play without anyone knowing! Enjoy 😉
