itch.io

You can see our roadmap here on itch.io, but you can also find more frequent updates posted on our other social media accounts. Thanks so much for following!

An IOS version of the game is something we have often considered, but it isn't as straightforward, and thus we haven't been able to make it happen yet. It's still possible someday. Thanks so much for following, and you can look forward to the early access release later this year!

OK, thank you for that. We'll pass that along to our lead programmer and see if we can't figure something out.

Edit: OK they got back to me very quickly with a couple of suggestions. Firstly, they wanted to know what kind of device and Android version you're using. They also suggested trying to free up some storage space to see if that helps.

Just to confirm, yes it is on Steam. Thanks for playing!

Sorry to hear that! One thing you might try first is turning off animations. This can be found in the game's "Config" menu at the title screen. If that doesn't help, then do you receive any error messages when this happens? Is it at a specific point? 

Hello! We're so grateful for all our players. Unfortunately, we are unable to do any kind of translations/localizations for the game, as it is too long and complicated. But we hope everyone can enjoy the game as much as possible. Have a wonderful day.

Hello! Which tutorials do you mean, exactly? Some can be viewed by simply starting a new game, and some by skipping through the Prologue. Hopefully that helps, or if you need more info, let us know. Thanks for playing!

Just to give official confirmation, yes, the early access release is this year (2026), but the full release with all of the Steps will be 2027, and then the wedding DLC later still in 2028. Thanks for following!

Thanks for the suggestion. We'll pass it to the team for consideration. Thank you so much for playing, and have a great day!

Yes, Now & Forever will be quite a bit longer than Beginnings & Always. In fact, even the early access release will be about as many words as the entirety of Beginnings & Always, DLC included. Thanks so much for following, and hope you're looking forward to it!

Hello, we'd like to provide some context here. We aren't able to gift a key to the game on one platform if it was purchased on another platform. This is a standard practice across the industry and would complicate our relationship with Steam if we acted against it. Players can download the game on PC and mobile from itch.io if they'd like to play on both platforms. Thanks for your understanding!

Hello! So what might be happening is that some dates are locked until the guy is officially your boyfriend. There are also some dates for the free guys that are locked if you don't own the DLC. Hopefully that helps, and thanks for playing!

Hello! While we are grateful for your offer, we are unable to accept any translation work, especially ones for free.  Translations are one of those things we are unable to do, given the size and complexity of the game. But we deeply appreciate your kind words, and hope you can enjoy the game as much as you can. Thank you for following!

Hurray! Hope you enjoy.

Perfect. Once you're in Steam, right click on Our Life, and go to "Manage", and then "Browse local files". That will open up the game's directory. In there you'll see a folder called "game". Click in there, and look for the .rpa files (they'll be called dlc_step_1.rpa", for example). Take all of those RPA files out, and put them in the "game" folder of the Mac version. That is a bit trickier to find, as it's very deep, so here is the file path:

OurLife.app > Contents > Resources > autorun > game

Hope that helps, and thank you for playing!

Hello! Is there any way you can access your Steam account some other way? Because if you can, you can actually extract the individual DLC files from the Steam version and transfer them to the Mac version, as they are cross compatible. They're found in the "game" folder of the game's main directory; I can give you detailed instructions on how to find them if you need help.

Hello! Sorry you here you're having issues. Hopefully I can help. Are you able to see the game's title screen at all, or is it on the initial loading screen where it fails?

Hello! We're so glad you enjoy the game. While we love your ideas for additional kinds of representation for the the MC, unfortunately things like that are beyond the scope of what we can do. There are so many possibilities not just for how the MC could be, but also when they happen (Step 1 versus Step 2 versus Step 3, etc.), and each would require multiple different kinds of variations. It's simply too large for us to be able to include even a portion, so we're just trying the best we can. We encourage players to head canon beyond what we can show ourselves, of course! Thank you so much for playing.

Thanks again for your interest!

While the exact release date isn't set quite yet, it will be in November of this year (2026). Thanks so much for following!

Sorry you're having trouble. What exactly is happening? Are you unable to see the DLC in itch.io account under "My library"? Or does it not work when you try to download it from there?

Yes, I can help! If you still have access to the Steam version, you want to navigate to the game's directory and find a folder labeled "game". This can be reached by right clicking on the game in your Steam library, going to "Manage", and then "Browse local files". That will take you to the main folder. Inside of the "game" folder, you should see the DLCs as .rpa files, like "dlc.step_1.rpa". Take all of those files from the Steam version, and put them in the "game" folder of the itch.io version, and it should work. If you need any more help, just let me know, and thank you for playing!

It's no trouble at all. We're happy you're here.

That's very kind! The simplest thing to do would be to buy the paid DLC for our other games, like Our Life: Beginnings & Always. Or you could become a member on our Patreon. But regardless of that, we're just so glad to have supporters like you sharing their enthusiasm for our games. Thank you for being here!

We're so glad you like her so much! We do too. Unfortunately, that DLC won't be able to happen give the scope of the game, but thank you for being there for Ren <3

Of course! We don't control refunds directly on itch.io. Instead, contact itch.io using their support page, and they will forward that request to us, which will approve. Thank so much for playing!

They are compatible! You can put the .rpa files downloaded here from itch.io into the "game" folder of the Steam version, and they will still work. This includes mixing and matching from the two different versions; it's all the same files. Thanks for playing!

Hello! No, this game will not be made for Android, but we're so glad you're so interested in it. Have a great day!

I can help you get it set up! If you downloaded the DLC, you should have a file called "baxter_dlc.rpa". You want to put that file in the folder called "game", which is in your Our Life folder. Wherever you put that folder, you want click into it until you find the "game" folder. And that should do it! If you need more help, just let me know.

We hope you enjoy the DLCs!

Hurray! I'm so glad that it worked. Thank you for your patience, and we hope you enjoy the game.

There are no smaller updates before the Early Access launch. Thanks so much for following, and we hope you're looking forward to it!

When do you see the first error message? Does the game download from itch.io, and then not appear? Or does the download just not work at all? It might be an issue with the web browser itself instead.

Usually it's found in the "Settings" menu, the little cogwheel. Not sure for your device specifically, but you're looking for something like "Security and privacy". From there, you want to see something about installing apps, like "Install Unknown Apps", and give permission to our game. Hopefully that helps!

Sorry you're having trouble. You might try changing the renderer. With the game open, press Shift and "G", which should let you change your setting. Change it to "angle renderer". Hopefully that helps, but if not, let us know. Thanks for playing!

Thank you so much for playing! The game is currently still just the demo portion, but a larger amount of content is going to be released in November for the Early Access launch. We hope you're looking forward to it!

Just to give official confirmation, yes, the base game will be free, with paid DLC available. Thanks so much for following!
