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!!!

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)

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☹️

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

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

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.

Sorry to bother you but I'm not sure how to put the DLCs from steam into the Mac folder? Thank you for explaining though! 

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!!

(+1)

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.

hello! i have a quick question--forgive me for not being technically adept, but i play this game on multiple devices (depending on my location). is there a way to 'share' the dlcs, or do i just have to buy them twice?

(+1)

You can download the DLCs on as many devices as you want, as long as you can log into your Itch.io account on those other devices!

wonderful! thanks so much. looking forward to playing them as a late birthday gift to myself lol
thanks for your hard work, gbpatch! i look forward to continuing my story with qiu & tamarack <3

(+1)

No problem, and thank you too :D

Hello! It's been a long time since I played this wonderful game and I still love it. One problem, though: I haven't updated it since ver. 1. 5 .1.  and I have the dlcs from back then. Will it transfer over? Thankyou very much!

You can delete the base game and DLCs and then download the base and DLCs all again in order to update everything to the latest version. It won't erase your save files! You can't add newer DLCs to an out-dated base game.

Thankyou very much! ! I'll do just that! Hope you have a nice day/night!

No problem, and you too!

I love this game! I was a huge fan of the other game, so I was intrigued enough to check out the other stuff that the devs may have. It was SO worth it, and I don't regret any second spent here! I loved seeing how our choices really DID stick, including the small ones, where they would be mentioned as a detail even a lot later! I absolutely love games like these, and although I don't usually play visual novels, these two games will always have a special place in my heart. 💙

I finished it in like a day or two, but I really went through the nostalgic feelings the game portrayed, and it did a great job on making the player feel as if they really DID grow up. It was so fun looking back on memories with the characters, watching them grow up and seeing how they change. Meeting new ones and losing a few others, as life goes. It was pretty realistic, and I especially appreciated the diversity in this game AND the other! Thank you for the experience! It would take a heartbeat for me to suggest this and Our Life: Now & Forever to all those that may be interested.

Absolutely breathtaking. I cannot believe this game is free. 

Confession time, I actually play through Steam and have all the currently available DLC through them. I gush for Derek and his brothers. (But I felt dropping a rating here as well never hurt ^.^)

The art is absolutely stunning. I fell in love with first firefly. The sound effects also seem perfectly placed to keep you immersed in the story.

I also adore how many choices you get to make! And I still have no idea which ones are important or not for what will shape  Cove as you grow; which has made repeat playthroughs still fun and exciting. 

I would be more than happy to buy more DLC for this game if more was to come out in the future. 

This is my feel good game after I play my spicy games or the ones with horror tones. This game just wraps my up in a big hug with my lesbian moms, sometimes snotty older sister, and the best damn friend you sometimes kiss across the street. 

Thank you for making this game and be so amazing to offer it up for the amazing price of free.  

You inspire me as a game designer. I hope to some day develop a game a beautiful as this. 

(+4)

I'll be honest I'm really glad i gave this game a shot. I know I'm not the target audience or anything but this game was really enjoyable even though I played it as a straight guy who was just Coves bro through out the years. I know I missed out on some content but the game does an awesome job of making it feel like you aren't actually missing out on anything. 

(+1)

I've sunk probably 40 hours in this game and am still combing through DLC events and finding new dialogue still. This is one of my top games of all time, and whenever im feeling a little blue this game cheers me right up. I love starting a new run with different personalities to see how it changes scenes. The vast dialogue is almost like a constant writer's prompt, teaching me how good dialogue and character development are SUPPOSED to flow. 10/10, so happy I bought every piece of content. 

I see people gushing over the demo, and the demo doesn't even do the game justice with just how good it is, to the point I believe this is my first review on a game that wasn't short. This game truly deserves all of the praise it gets and then some.

It turns out that the amount of free space needed for the Android version to run is much more than what the game actually takes up.

I had to have ~8 GB (about 10-15% of my phone’s storage capacity) of free space on my phone for both this and the OLNF demo for them to run, despite the fact that the combined size of both games is ~2.7 GB (without OLBA’s DLC).

(I’ll also note that I had deleted the installation APKs to make more space before I got either game to successfully run, and that the games were run on a Galaxy A30.)

I'm sorry it's difficult to run!

I was just finished download it and wanna try to play but now I am curious, does the derek and baxter dlc make them the romanceable character? if so what is gonna happen to cove?

(+2)

Yeah, you can romance Derek or Baxter if you get their DLCs, or you can just follow their story while being their friend. You can keep Cove as a friend or romance him still if you're not romancing Derek or Baxter. But Cove appears very little in Derek's story and Baxter's story.

WOOOOW its so far the best demo i played, i loved EVERYTHING about it. thumbs up for sure. thank yall for the story imma search for the rest, cause im sure its not End. Maybe kinda dumb question but do i need to buy Dlc 1 or can i continue from 2/3 ???

(+1)

You don't need DLC to finish the game! The story from start to end is free. You can just get more scenes along the way if you buy the DLCs.

game wont even start. Kicks me out (android)

I'm sorry it's not working. You can check if a virus scanner is blocking it or your settings don't allow games that don't come from the Google Playstore!

Hello, thank you so much for your hard work and creating a game so wonderful! I've been trying to play the game for the past couple of days, but can never get past the main screen without it ultimately crashing and closing out completely. I'm playing on android  and have tried unistalling, reinstalling, factory reseting my phone so I have enough space and tried turning off the animations in game, but that didn't work either. I tried downloading it on another device, but it was the same result. Maybe after my 5th or 6th attempt and it failing again, an error notification popped up telling me the game had a bug that was causing it to crash . Has this happened to anyone else? Is there an older version of the game I could download to try and play?

I'm sorry, that's happening. Though, when a program can't work for various reasons Androids give a generic reply that it's a bug. But if there was a bug, it'd be reported by the game rather than Android. It not being able to load on Android in that way is usually a compatibility or settings problem. You can try to see if your device doesn't let you play games from not from Google Playstore or if your virus scanner has decided not to let it run because it seems suspicious.

(+1)

I love this game so much!!! My friend introduced me to it, and I ended up more obsessed with it than her. I bought all the additional content for it on steam, COVE MY BELOVEDDDDDD <3333

(+2)

I love this game very much!! I found it on Steam and fell in love with it. However, I wanted to download it here on my android phone but either had a error with the download (I tried in 3 different browsers) or with the setup (i execute the apk and it says it has an error and doesn't even let me install it) so idk if it's a problem with my phone bc I have enough space on it :(

I'm sorry it's not working. You can check if a virus scanner is blocking it or your settings don't allow games that don't come from the Google Playstore!

It keeps saying it's forbidden, I even changed my phone, so I sadly can't download it here I guess 

I'm sorry, some devices just don't want to work with the program. Though it being "forbidden" could also mean there's not enough space to properly install/run the device.

Ohh, I see 

Thanks tho!

I love this game, it's long and a gushy Queer romance. I LOVE IT!! :3

(+1)

I fucking love ittttt

(+2)

(+1)

i doubt it

(+4)

No, the wedding DLC was that last of it (besides a few nsfw things on the Patreon)

(+1)

The Hm what now?

So I own the entire game on Steam. Base games, all DLCs, everything.  I ripped the game files from my Steam Deck and transfered them to my phone to see if it would run with Joiplay.

Yes the game runs as well as any Ren'py game on my phone but for some reason it says that I do not have the Derek, Baxter, and wedding DLCs even though the files are in the "game" folder. I tried copying the DLC files into the itch.io version but the same thing happens. Only the Steps 1-3 and voice DLCs are being detected by the game, the others are not. Is there any way to fix this?

(+1)

I don't think so. We implemented those DLCs a different way for Android than we did with the original DLCs, and so if they didn't carry over that might be why. It needs to be installed directly through the Android version rather than being added in this other method. But we can't change how the DLCs work. The old method isn't an option anymore for the game's current version. I'm sorry.

(+1)

Ive been trying to download this game for a couple days now on my android and every time I install it it takes forever for the loading screen to leave and when it does and I try to play the game, I try to click New file and it just crashes me out of the game. Has anyone else had similar issues and know how to fix this?  

You can try to make it easier to run by turning off animations in the setting and by having more space on the device. But that's not guaranteed to make it work. Sometimes a phone just isn't able to run it, unfortunately.

this is genuinely the sweetest and most comforting game I've ever played. something about the atmosphere of it just swept me off my feet, and it feels so nostalgic to my own childhood.

the breathtaking art, adorable characters, customization options, and funny dialogue made me fall in love with this game. I suggest you play it too, because it's honestly changed my view of the world.

lots of love! ♥ kaye

I just totally fell in love with this game. It's so cute and funny and even if I'm not english, it's easy to understand all (Well, if you ever need a french to translate your game, I'll do it in a heartbeat, I mean, I do it currently in a notepad to send with the link of the base game to my bestfriend, I know she will love it too but she's not good with english) Unless you had a translate game somewhere? :)

When I've finish the first round I just go "shut up and take my money."

And now I play a second round 'cause, hell, Cove is soooo cute ! Need to try it with all the Ddlc I can buy, next month I put my pocket-money in the last ones o/

Thank you very much for this game, I love it ~♥

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Unfortunately, the game hasn't been translated to any other language. It's only in English.

literally sobbed…loved it <3

If anyone is questioning whether or not to give this game a shot, do it.

This is one of the most well-crafted, emotional visual novels you'll ever see on the market. It's practically criminal that the base game is free, and every piece of DLC beyond that point is more than worth the price.

I'm serious - The characters, atmosphere, multiple-choice options, dialogue, music, and basically every other aspect of this game is phenomenal. The amount of content within will be enough to keep you preoccupied for at least 20+ hours for your first playthrough (At least that's how it went for me). And that's only accounting for the main love interest's route (Cove).

Go ahead and get the game, hell, buy all the DLC while you're at it. It's a magical experience, and I personally believe that anyone who enjoys romantic visual novels should never skip this piece.

(+2)

I'm sorry for that! You can try this-

Pressing Shift + G and change the renderer. Changing it to ANGLE renderer.

sorry for the late reply it worked thank yo

Great!

(+5)

This game is literally the most comforting game I've ever played, I've played it like 4 times in a row and it's a really warm atmosphere that makes me feel nostalgic?..  honestly can't express how much of a game I've been looking that's like this

Lots of love from Ari, Hoping to see more! <3

(+2)

the amount of times i have played this game over and over again is crazy. literally soooo good 😭 1000000/10

(+3)

Hello! I was wondering if you'd consider bundling the dlc's as like a complete one purchase, not even discounted necessarily, I just haven't bought it yet cause I don't want to do a separate purchase for all of them, but I can't just add it all in one cart

(+6)

Yeah, I can see if Itch will let us do a permanent bundle. So far I've only had sales that had to end at a certain time.

(+1)

Yay thank you! I don't even mind if it's not on sale, but just like an option to buy all the dlcs at once? Like buying a complete version or set of the game type thing, I would still get it at full price! Thank you for considering :)

Hey just wondering -- cause of the whole Unity thing that is going to happen in the start of January 2024 -- what did you guys make Our Life with? 

(+1)

We use Ren'py!

(+1)

I think i accidentally somehow unlocked a Derek DLC photo without having the DLC uhh

(+1)

Thanks for the report!

(1 edit)

Ive played this game before and I decided to get the 3rd step and the wedding step (because its all i can afford at the moment 😭) and ive downloaded them and done what the dlc thing said, but everytime i go in and click new file or continue it closes the app.. is there any way i can fix this 😭

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what the issue could be based on the info you mentioned. All I can recommend is trying to delete your files and go through the install process for the game + DLC again. It's possible something just went wrong when adding the game and trying again will sort it out.

I should've been more specific my bad 😭

I use android and every time it closes it comes up saying there's a bug and I should wait until it's fixed, something along those lines. I've tried this again and it still isn't working I'm afraid

Oh, that pop up is a generic response when it doesn't work. There's no real specific bug it's talking about. It could mean the game can't install because it needs more space, or the game won't install because a virus scanner has decided it's not safe or your settings don't let you install stuff not from the official app store.

I do not have a virus scanner active due to downloading games like this in a similar manner, and it would make sense IF I didn't have over half of my storage space remaining 😭

(-1)

Then how the DLCs are being downloaded might be causing the problem. What order are you doing them in?

(+7)

this game hit me so hard. I doubt that I am the target demo, gay 52, but it still affects me to this day. I never realized (or had repressed) how much I wanted to have a love like Cove has for you. After the primary game ended, I felt physically and emotionally sick that it was over. I cried SO MUCH during this game. From Cove and also the lost little boy dredged up the grief of losing my son in 2021. I cried when I found out something about Cove that kind of explains why he is like he is. I got the wedding DLC and cried over that. I've replayed many times and each time it ends, it kills me. The wedding night is the last thing that the developer is doing with Cove and that really makes me sad. From looking at the subreddit for this game, there are many people who are affected by this game like this. Not trying to scare anyone off but be prepared to feel a LOT. If only we could all have a Cove in our lives.

(+2)

It's been a month since I finished my first playthrough of this game and its DLCs, yet I can't help but come back for more :,).  The impact this game had on me was astronomical, to say the least,  as no matter how hard I tried, I PHYSICALLY COULD NOT FIND ANYONE BETTER THAN COVE HOLDEN!? Cove is the textbook definition of best boi, and I love him to pieces fr. Our Life is my ult comfort game with my all-time comfort LI, and I can't thank GBPatch enough for this marvelous creation! <33
