Ok so I tried downloading the game on my phone, tried to open it and it instantly disappeared, I can't find the game anywhere, not even in my Chrome downloads😞 I encountered this like a few months ago but I brushed it off thinking it was because of my old phone. But now I have a new one and I'm completely confused on what's happening
Sorry to hear that! Do you have any anti-virus/security features on your phone that might try to block "suspicious" programs? This is a problem many mobile uses face. Otherwise, do you get any error messages at all when the game closes?
Sorry about that! Actually, on Windows, there's another place where the persistent data for the game is stored other than the main folder. If you still have access to that other computer, you can find it under this file extension: C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Roaming\RenPy. There should be an "OurLife" folder in there, and that has all of your progress data. Hopefully that helps, and thank you for playing!
This was a scam link, unfortunately. We will never post links like this in the comment sections of our games, so please be careful. Thank you for drawing attention to it.
This game is sooo wonderful!!! It's one of the only romance-based visual novels I've played that doesn't feel too "rushed"...I can pursue Cove as fast/slowly as I want. The art style is beautiful, and I adore the wide range of customization. It is also very replayable as there are SO many different pathways you can take. Overall, I highly recommend it. I wish I could have discovered it sooner!!
its been exactly 1 year now since i dowloaded this game, and i thought now would be a good time to finally post a review for this game. I love this game so much, its my favorite thing ever in general. I would recommend this game to anyone and i have to all my friends. I love the OST, the art, the character and the writing all so much. This game has had such a big impact on me and is easily a 10/10 for me and my favorite game ever.
Also the GBPatch youtube channel is great too and i love the Our Life shorts on there so go check that out if you havent yet
Очень жаль, что я не могу купить дополнения к игре в моей стране! Когда-нибудь итч.ио сможет это исправить, и тогда я сыграю во все дополнения и послушаю музыку)) Бакстер мой муж 🤭
I've been trying to buy the DLCs for two days and I simply can't. After entering my card information, the site says I will receive both the PC and Android DLC downloads, and then it says nothing. I receive nothing, nothing appears in my email or on my card statement/invoice. I would appreciate a response.
The problem is that I don't think the purchase goes through. After entering my information, a screen appears saying I will receive the product... however, nothing else appears and nothing arrives. :(
Hello again! If you aren't seeing any invoice from your payment provider, then it does seem like something must be going on there. Unfortunately if it is a payment issue, there might not be much we can do on our end. Do you have any alternative payment methods you can test?
I love this game. but it kind of gets on my nerves that it's strictly one love interest. oh, you want another love interest? PAY for it, even if you can't afford it. Me. Real man..
Hi, I'm trying to buy the DLCs but nothing has arrived. I enter everything correctly and then nothing appears in my email or on my card statement... help
Does anyone have an idea as to why the download isn't working for me? I'm using the android download and I made pure I had plenty of space but it's not working when I click on it and and sometimes it doesn't even show up as a game. I have it on my laptop but it's currently broken so any advice? :(
Sorry to hear that! Hopefully I can help. Do you get any error messages when trying to download it? Does your device have any security features that might block downloads from "suspicious" sources? That is something that frequently comes up on Android devices.
It did download but when I tried to open it, there was an error message. I don't really remember what it said but my phone doesn't have any security features like that and the other our life game downloaded just fine
It makes perfect sense actually sense the last bulid of the game android users have reported this force close bug multiple android users yet nothing is done to fix it goes back months idk what they did on the start screen for android to force it to close but I've only got passed it once for a second it lagged then closed again i even turned off animations.
I do hope they fix this next year or after our life 2 is done because it's extremely disappointing to see a game advertised for android yet not work on it.
It kinda makes me a little bit mad but GB is a small team I just hope they eventually patch the android bug.
Yep i get an error as well whenever i open the game after a few seconds it force closes and then errors I've tried everything on my samsung galaxy they said they would look into it but it's been awhile and idk if they'll ever fix it i wish they would because I've never played this one.
The android version is completely broken alot of people are having trouble downloading it i gave them so much info and still haven't heard back on if their gonna fix whatever is causing the game to crash on android it's a shame considering this one is more popular then the second everybody talks about cove yet I can never get passed the start screen.
So sorry you're still having issue. We are aware of the problem and are looking into what can be done. If you did get an error message, could you potentially check what it was and tell us? That might help us isolate the problem. Thank you for your patience.
AHHH this game made me sob its amazing and I feel like anyone could relate to the aspect of growing up. I grew really attached to the characters and they are all written so lovely <3 I played this game for two days in a row lol. I'm so happy we have many routes so I get to replay over and over never getting bored but all these characters have a special place in my heart now.
We’re indexing selected third-party games on the site. This is just for demonstration purposes—only curated games are shown. Make sure any updates or new games are correctly linked and displayed in the Lab before they go live. you can check here Forge Gate Hub. Thanks!!!
Unfortunately, the game is not supported on Apple mobile devices, like the iPad. It's something we want to do in the future if we can, but aren't able to right now. Sorry about that, but thank you for your interest!
I’m super into visual novels, been playing ‘em for a while now.. but dude, I’d never played one this good before. This game’s insane, like amazing! You can play it a bunch of times and it still feels like the first run. I didn’t even finish it yet and I was already restarting just to feel it all over again! You really get attached to the characters, it’s like you’re right there with ‘em. When you finish, bro, that EMPTY feeling hits hard, you’ll 100% wanna dive back in. Straight-up masterpiece, easily the best visual novel I’ve ever played <3 I LOVE COVE MY OCEAN BOYYY <33 (((warn tho; u will cry, nojk 🩵
I don't really like visual novel games (save for class of '09) but this is SUCH A FIRE GAME!! i love this game so freaking much! i also really liked picking songs from different game soundtracks and playing them over certain scenes, it was so fun! (in case you were wonding i mainly picked; persona 5, persona 4 and timespinner's OST's). also this game really helped me get better with wording certain things and flirting with my boyfriend which i (formerly) sucked at! the story is compelling, the characters are likeable and deep, i LOVE the amount of choice you have in this game, the customization is amazing, the amount of heart and world building this game has is amazing! would recommend totally!!
I literally just made an account to write a review and holy shit hands down the best visual novel I've ever played. I spent almost 7 hours playing this and I don't even know HOW to explain on how much I love this game sm I really wished I could deleted my memory and play this game for the first time again
This game is so amazing and I love everything! I appreciate all the work that was put into the game and all the DLCs! I wish I could go back and play it all again for the first time or lose my memory of it just to rediscover and play again <3 Cove is so precious 😢
Game so great it changed my life, it's genuinely peak. Once you start, you don't want to stop. You can see the love behind it. I spoke again to a friend I hadn't spoken to in a really long time to recommend this, and we reconnected asjdjaj.
Buying the DLC is totally worth it. I finished it months ago, I did all the possible combinations and routes and even from time to time I say "wow... I want some comfort" and I come back to Cove.
That's such a beautiful story about reconnecting with your friend! It's amazing when a game can bring people together like that. Cove really is such a comforting character, and you can absolutely feel the care that went into creating this experience. The developers did an incredible job making every moment feel genuine and heartfelt.
I don't mean this in any offensive or uncomfortable way, simply because the game and love interest were AMAZING and there was some mature dialogue, it got me thinking. Some popular VN's I've recently gotten into have made NSFW DLC, out of genuine curiosity, are you planning on coming out with anything like that? I tried to word that as appropriately as possible lol! (╥﹏╥)
If you support the GB patch patreon, you can access nsfw content ^^.
There are two downloadable playable nsfw moments : one set after step 3 and one after your wedding night in step 4. Both are pretty charming haha!!! (Both are Cove only)
You have to be 18+ to support that patreon membership tho! but yeah, that's where the our life nsfw content is.
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!
i guess that the features about self or clipboard voicing are different depending on the game.
i am facing similar issues with your other games too, wherein im not able to play because the clipboard voicing feature isn't able to read out certain options etc..
I would like to report a bug / an accessibility issue with this game. This issue may also apply to other games using Ren'Py.
Bug Description: Using Text-To-Speech (Self-Voicing) in game on a German device reads using a German voice (Microsoft Hedda). Since the screen text is in English, the voice is incomprehensible.
OS: Windows 10
OS language: English
Game Version: 2.2
Ineffective solution attempt: Changing the voice in Windows settings under "Speech" and "Narrator" to any voice other than Microsoft Hedda and rebooting the PC does not change the voice used in game.
Cause of the bug: The game files do not set a specific voice for Text-To-Speech (see "tts_voice = None" in file "config.py"). Instead it goes through all available voices and searches for one mentioning the words "default voice" in its description (see file "say.vbs"). No such voice exists on my device, thus it chooses the first available option, which in my device's case is a German voice.
Possible solutions: Setting an English default voice for each platform (replacing "default voice" for Windows with "David" or "Zira" for example in file "tts.py") or developing an option to choose between Text-To-Speech voices in the game's menu.
I love this game and would like to recommend it to a group of peers that includes someone with low vision, but I'm concerned this bug may pose a barrier to entry.
Going through the game again I realized many sections do not have full Text-To-Speech support anyway (such as character selection), so perhaps solving this issue would not make a meaningful difference. I might keep this comment up in case someone stumbles upon the same issue.
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!
Howdy again, what's the guide process for getting the steam DLCs to work on the mac version of the game? I cant browse local files on it to find the files because I havent yet downloaded the game on steam due to playing on Mac so I dont know how to access the DLCs from Steam
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!
Hi! I'm on a mac and somehow all my progress in game was deleted (not entirely sure if this is relevant, but it happened after I downloaded/played the patreon moments.) My saves are still available but I cannot skip seen dialogue and the gallery is now empty. Not sure if there's really anything that can be done about this, but please let me know if there is!
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?
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.

I don't think I have any security features, it just instantly disappeared the moment the game downloaded, it vanished literally 😭
i recently changed computers and all the saves i did are gone, i had saved the game on an usb, why exaclty is my progress gone?
Sorry about that! Actually, on Windows, there's another place where the persistent data for the game is stored other than the main folder. If you still have access to that other computer, you can find it under this file extension: C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Roaming\RenPy.

updated version? what do you mean this game is already completed

Please release a DLC to add languages :(

Hi! Are you looking for translators? I’m a native Spanish speaker with a B2 level in English, and I’d love to help with English ↔ Spanish translations
