Hi there – Your account was blocked due to a report of the account holder being underage. All Patreon users, including those in the Patreon Discord, must be 18 or older. Feel free to reach out if you feel this is an error.

The content on the Steam and itch.io versions is exactly the same. However, if you wanted to play on an Android device, then getting the game on itch.io might be better, since that will give you access to both PC and Android, while Steam is just PC. Thanks so much for playing!

Sorry you're having trouble! Hopefully I can help. Do you get any error messages when trying to open the game? Do you have any anti-virus program on your Android that might block executables? That's an issue that often comes up.

Not yet, but thank you for following!

To give official confirmation, the years are 2010 for Step 1, 2014 for Step 2, 2018 for Step 3, and 2022 for Step 4.

The exact date for the update hasn't been announced quite yet, but were grateful for your excitement! Thank you for following.

I translated this, so if there are mistakes, I am sorry. If you are on itch.io on an Android device, you want to tap on your username and find "My Library". This should take you to a page that shows you all of your purchases. You should see a "Download" button under the DLC. That will take you to another page where you can download the actual Android version of file. Hopefully that works! If you need more help, let me know, and thank you for playing.

Unfortunately, there won't be any additional love interests added to Our Life: Now & Forever as DLC. But we're very grateful for your interest, and thank you for following!

We're so glad you enjoyed our games! That's a very interesting and thoughtful suggestion. You're right that it's too late into development to add color blindness to Our Life: Now & Forever, but that is absolutely something we can keep in mind for a future release. Thank you for following, and have a great day!

Wonderful! Glad it came back. Thank you for playing.

We appreciate your understanding, and hope you'll enjoy the updates!

To give confirmation, unfortunately there won't be any official translations/localizations for the game. We do allow fan translations - players are welcome to do what they like on their own time - but we cannot advertise or endorse those translations in any official way. We're very grateful for you being here anyway, so thank you for playing!

Just to give official confirmation, yes the full release is planned for 2026, and in November there's going to be a big update to the public demo. Thanks for following!

Thank you for helping to warn others. We're deleting these kinds of links whenever they pop up. Please be careful, everyone!

No firm release date is yet. We won't know until we're further along with development. Thanks so much for following!

You need to download the base game first before you can use any of the DLC. There's a link here on this page that will take you to where you can find it for free here on itch.io. Once you have that, the previous instructions I sent should guide you to where you need to put that "dlc_step_1.rpa" file. If you need more help, just let me know!

If it's the Android version then yes, that does work differently. Sorry for any confusion.

Just to give official confirmation, yes the full release is planned for 2026, and November will have a big demo update. Thanks for following!

That's OK! The demo should have saved your persistent data in a separate folder, so even if you have to download it fresh, your saves should be kept. Is there an issue with the download itself we can potentially help you with?

It looks like the file got mixed up a bit. I can't actually see or download what was posted. Sorry, could you try to send it again?

Yes, the update is scheduled for November. Thanks for following!

That's OK, I'm here to help. What you want to do is take that rpa. file and put it in the "game" folder of the larger Our Life folder. For the mac version, it's tucked away a bit, but I can show you how to find it. Once you find the game folder, it should be: Contents > Resources > autorun. Inside of "autorun" should be the "game" folder. Put the rpa file in there, and then try to boot up the game. You'll know it worked when you click on the "DLC Info" in the top left corner, and it should show the DLC as "Installed". That should work, and if you need anything else, just let me know. Thanks for playing!

We are unable to do any translations for the game, but we appreciate your offer. Have a great day!

Yes, all of the Halloween Moments will be DLC.

Great, thank you. I'll pass that info to the programmers and see what they say. Thank you for your patience!

Yes, each Step will have a Halloween Moment, just to give official confirmation. Thanks for following!

The game does not have a Spanish translation. Sorry about that, but thank you for being here.

We do have two 18+ DLCs available through our Patreon, yes. Make note that the DLC are only available on alternating months, depending on your membership. But once you've downloaded them, you're welcome to keep them forever. Thanks so much for playing!

Hello! Sorry about that. Our programmers are looking into it, but it may be something only the Ren'Py developers can resolve. Thank you so much for playing, though!

Hello! We appreciate you brining this to our attention. I mentioned the matter to our programmers, and we're trying to see if there's anything on our end we can do to fix it. Unfortunately, it might be something with the Ren'Py engine itself that we can't change. If that's the case, you may have to address the matter to them. Sorry about that, but thank you so much for playing!

Hello again. I had a chance to raise this issue, and unfortunately we're still not certain. Could you give us a bit more information about the device you're using? What kind of Android device is it?

Hello! We really appreciate your detailed suggestion. We are trying our best to let people express themselves and who they want their MC to be in the world of Our Life. However, we are limited in some ways with what we can do, simply due to the scope of alterations we can handle. One of those areas is transitioning during Steps. Because the Moments can take place in whatever order the player chooses, having their MC come to important realizations about their own identity during a Moment is beyond what we can reasonably include. It would require so many alterations within almost every Moment, as well as potential reactions to those changes in other Moments. That's too many alterations for us as a small team, and so the MC's identity journey is mostly contained to between Steps. We do include scenes where the MC gets a chance to express themselves, and assert their identity, but as for actually changing and self-growth, those things simply are too complex to happen during gameplay itself. We appreciate your understanding, and hope you can still have a fulfilling story in Golden Grove! Thank you so much for being here.

That's great! I'm glad to here it's working for you now and you're enjoying it. Always happy to help. Thanks for playing!

That's what I thought it might be. What probably happened is that the Patreon version overwrote the persistent data from your normal version. I don't think there's any way of recovering it in that case. Sorry about that! And thank you so much for playing anyway.

That's OK! Hopefully I can still help. Could you show me a new image of the folder with the unzipped file in it?

Could you share with me a screenshot of the "game" folder? This is in the main directory, which you can find either where you downloaded the game from itch.io, or under "Browse Local Files" on Steam. Thank you, and hopefully we can help sort this out.

Unfortunately, the Steam version of the game does not work on Mac devices. The DLCs work across platforms, but if you've bought them on Steam, you probably won't be able to access them, since the base game won't work. If you can get a refund from Steam, you can instead buy the DLCs here on itch.io, and those will work with the Mac version of the game you can get for free here on itch.io. Alternatively, if you can get access to a PC somehow and get Our Life on Steam there, you can actually find the .rpa files and extract them directly, and reuse them anywhere. Sorry for any inconvenience, but we appreciate you playing the game!

Sorry that happened. Typically there is persistent game data which is stored separately from the game folder itself, which is where stuff like the gallery is kept. On PC this is found in the "Roaming" folder, and then under "RenPy", and "OurLife". I don't own a Mac, but from what I find online, it seems to be located in a path labeled "~/Library/RenPy", followed by the specific game, in this case "OurLife". That might be where the issue occurred, and forgive me if that path is the wrong one. If you find it, when was the "persistent" file in the "OurLife" folder updated last?

Darn, that is unfortunate. Could you send me a screenshot of inside your game folder? It should be labeled "OurLife-1.7.1-pc". Just the inside of that, please.  I need a bit more information. Thank you!

Do you mean you bought the DLCs on Steam, but you're playing on a Mac? Unfortunately, the Steam version is not compatible with Mac, so that might be reason you aren't seeing "Browse Local Files".
