itch.io

OK, great! Glad that worked out, and of course, happy to help. Enjoy the game, and thank you for playing!

I'm sorry, I don't own a Mac, so I don't know for certain how it differs. Could you send me a screenshot of what you see when you download the file? I might be able to help!

I'm sorry for the lateness of this reply! As for downloading the other DLCs on Steam, yes that should work. The base game on Steam is free, just like it is on itch.io. You can find any purchased DLCs on Steam in the local files, which is found by right clicking on the game in your Steam library, under "Manage" and then "Browse Local Files". Thank you so much for playing!

Are you having trouble finding the downloaded folder, maybe? I can potentially help! If you know where the folder is, there should be an application icon in there labeled "OurLife", which starts the game.

Hello! Thank you for bringing that to our attention, and so sorry about that. Do you have any screenshots of what happens when you try to install? We might be able to help!

Hello! Thank you so much for playing, and sorry you've been having difficulties! For the first with the screen freezing, does it freeze at certain times, or does it seem random? You can try turning off animations in the preferences menu and seeing if that helps.

For the second issue with the names, are you saying your entries are not appearing in the text box? Or are they changing after you try to type them in?

For the third with the hair, that hair is just under the "Hair Back" section, meaning it isn't meant to be seen as a hair style all by itself. It looks better when combined with a "Hair Front" option higher on that list.

Again, we appreciate you playing, and hopefully we can help you sort out any technical difficulties!

OK! Sorry if there was any incompatibility, but we're so glad you're enjoying the game. Have a wonderful day!

That's OK! Here's how to do it:

First, download the rpa file from this page: https://gbpatch.itch.io/our-life-voiced-name

That file goes directly into the "game" folder of your version of Our Life. If you did it right, when you open the game, in the top left corner there should be a box labeled "DLC" info, and it should show the Voiced Names as "Installed".

If you need more help, just let me know! And thank you for playing.

We're sorry, but the Steam version of the game is not supported on Mac. However, if you bought the DLCs on Steam, you can move them over to the Mac version of the game downloaded for free here on itch.io! If you go into the folder containing the game by right clicking on the game and going to "Browse Local Files", you should find the DLCs in the "game" folder. They should end with ".rpa". You can copy those rpa files out of the Steam version, into the "game" folder of the itch.io version, and that should unlock the DLCs for you. If you need more help, just let me know!

We're so glad you enjoyed the game! Yes, you should just download it again and use the new files to play. You can delete the old version, if you want. You might be able to preserve your old saves, though sometimes they're incompatible. You can find the saves in the folder "game" and then "saves". Just move all of those into the "saves" folder in the new version.

Thank you so much for playing!

Do you need help adding the voiced names? Because if so, I can walk you through how to do it!

Try this route: right click the game, then go to "Properties", which should bring up a separate window. In that, click on "Installed Files", and at the top should be a button for "Browse". Hopefully that works!

Do you mean you bought the DLCs on Steam? If so, I should be able to help you! The DLCs are rpa files that you should be able to move from your Steam version of the game to the itch.io version, even on Mac.

In Steam, right click on Our Life, go to the "Manage" section of the drop down, and click "Browse Local Files". In that folder, click on the "game" folder, and you should see the DLCs in there labeled "dlc_step_1.rpa", as an example. Move those from the Steam folder into the "game" folder of the itch.io version.

If that isn't what you mean, just let me know! Hopefully I can help, and thank you for playing.

 Sorry you're still having trouble! Were you able to unzip the file called "dlc_wedding.rpa.zip"? 

OK, you might still be able to get it to work. In your Steam library, right click on Our Life and go to the "Manage" section of the drop down. From there click "Browse Local Files". You're looking for the DLC files, which in Windows are under "Game", and should be the same on Mac. The files you're looking for are called "dlc_step_1.rpa", or whatever DLC you have. You should be able to copy those files directly out of that folder and put them in the "game" folder of the itch.io version you can download for free. Hopefully that works! Otherwise, let me know. And thank you so much for playing.

Sorry about that! Try this and see if this fixes it: while in game, press Shift + G, and change the "renderer" to "Angle Render". Hopefully that helps, and if it persists, just let me know. Thank you so much for playing!

Are you trying to run the Steam version on your MacBook, or the itch.io version? Sorry, I'm just trying to clearly understand so I can potentially help solve this!

The Steps 1-3 DLCs also work on Mac. The file you get when you access the download here on itch.io works on all of the different operating systems. If you need any help getting it set up, just let me know!

I'm sorry to hear that! Do you mean the Wedding Night bonus Moment? If so, it's possible that if you're loading the saves from an older version of the game, they might not be compatible. If you could explain a bit more, I might be able to help.

Development is coming steadily along! You can see almost daily update posts from us on twitter, bluesky, and tumblr, as well as monthly reports on Kickstarter, and active Discord servers. Thank you for wish listing the game, and we hope you can still look forward to the full release!

Yes, Step 1 will have 5 free Moments, and 5 DLC Moments when it releases fully. The demo is just a portion. Thank you for playing, and we hope you enjoyed the demo!

Let me see if I can help! When you open the game, there should be a box in the top left corner called "DLC INFO". If you click on that, the Voiced Names DLC should say "Installed".

If that worked, when you are looking at the voiced name menu, "Jamie" shows up as the only name by default. But there should be little boxes at the top labeled with letters ("ABCDEF", "GHIJKLM", etc.). If you click on those boxes, more names should appear.

If you're still having another issue, let me know!

Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed it.

In order to unlock the extra Moments, you will need to buy the DLCs, yes. Thank you so much for playing the game!

Yes, the DLCs do work on Mac! Sorry for the lateness of this reply. If you need help adding them to the base game, let me know, and thank you so much for playing!

I'm sorry for the lateness of this reply! If you're still having trouble with adding the DLCs, I can walk you through the steps. It's very simple: you just need to add the DLC files to the "game" folder in the larger Our Life folder you got when you downloaded the free version of the game. Hopefully that works, and let me know if you need even more help. Thank you very much for playing!

Unfortunately, after consulting with our programmer, it seems like the only fix that might work would be to update the entire game to a newer version, which isn't something we can do right now.  We are really sorry about that! Hopefully we can make the change eventually, and thank you so much for your interest in our game, anyway.

OK! Glad to hear that, and hope you enjoy the game!

That's great! Good luck.

Sorry about that! Unfortunately, this is a known error that sometimes happens with the game, since it's older and not optimized the best. The only thing you can try is to go back to an older save and try different actions, and a save that's further back, not right before the crash happens. Hopefully that helps, and thank you so much for playing!

Shoot! I'm sorry about that. Either way, thank you so much much for playing, and have a good one.

I'm not familiar with Mac, but is there a way for you to "Browse Local Files" for your games on Steam? That would be how to track it down on Windows. I assumed that the Mac version of Steam had a similar function. Either way, we'll sort this out! Sorry for the inconvenience.

That's no good. Could you show me what the file looks like now? I'm sorry, I'm not as familiar with Mac.

Hurray! Glad that all worked out. Thank you so much for playing, and hope you enjoy.

Hello! If you buy the DLC files anywhere, they should work on any version of the base game, itch or Steam. However, if you need help specifically with Beginnings & Always, please feel free to post over there! Here's the link to the base game's page, and I'll see you over there as well:

Thank you for playing! We hope you enjoy the game.

I'm not 100% sure this will work, but as long as you can single out the rpa file for the Step 4 DLC, you should be able to move it to a different version of the game. I don't know where to find this file on Mac, but it should be called "dlc_wedding.rpa". If you can find that, you should be able to move it to a different version of the base game and still get access to the content. See if you can locate it, and hopefully I can help you further!

Hello! Hopefully I can help. Which version of the DLC did you get, itch for Windows, itch for Mac, or on Steam? In any case, the thing you'll eventually need to do is get the DLC files into the appropriate folder, and then the game will tell you when you've done it right. I can walk you through the whole thing!

I can't actually check with certainty, as I don't have a Mac, but I believe the DLC files should work on Mac as well as Windows.

Hello! I'm so sorry, but this is a known issue we have with the Android version right now. We are looking into a fix, but haven't quite figured it out yet. We appreciate your patience!

We would ask you to please not share anything upsetting on this page. Thank you!
