Hello! For professional inquiries, the best thing would be to email us at support@gbpatchgames.com. Have a lovely day!

Yes, each time skip in Beginnings & Always is five years (age 8, 13, 18, 23), but in Now & Forever it's four years (age 10, 14, 18, 22). Thanks for playing!

Cove's personality can be either sporty or studious, depending upon the player's choices. Or, if you want, you can also manually choose which you prefer. There isn't a comprehensive guide on which choices effect which personality type. Hope that helps, and thanks for playing!

Hello! Thank you for reaching out and for your kind words, but unfortunately we're unable to do any translations for the game. It's simply too large and complicated. Thanks for being here, and have a wonderful day!

Thank you for that. We've made note of the problem and will address it when we can. Unfortunately, an update will have to wait until after the early access release of our next game. We appreciate your patience!

Thank you for that. It seems like the Android version is not compatible with newer devices, so this is an issue that will require more work. We won't be able to address this until after the early access release of our next game. Sorry about that, but thank you for playing!

Darn, sorry about that. What kind of device are you using? We'll bring that info to the lead programmer and see what they say. We appreciate your patience.

There might not be time to have to ready for the early access release, but I have brought this to the attention of our lead programmer, so hopefully it can be addressed when we can. Thanks so much for following!

There will be two DLCs, one for Step 1 and one for Step 2! Thanks so much for following, and we hope you have fun when the game launches.

Hurray! We're glad to hear that, and hope you have fun.

That sounds like it might be an issue that you'll have to contact itch.io support, since we do not directly control the payment processors. You can find that here:

/support

Hopefully that helps, and thank you for playing!

Sorry you're having issues! Does your phone have anti-virus software? A lot of times, the game is flagged automatically by Android security features, and is blocked. You should be able to "allow" it to let it run. If that doesn't work or isn't an option, let us know and we can try something else. Thanks for playing!

When you start a new game with the voiced names, you can open a menu and see the full list! However, we can tell you now that "Raymon" is not one of the options, unfortunately. We hope you still have a great time, and thank you for playing!

We're sorry that the animations are distracting for you. Unfortunately, turning off the animations in the preferences does not turn off the blinking. We hope you can enjoy the game regardless, and we thank you for playing!

There are options in the game to specify some things about your character's build, like height, and a general "size". How this looks exactly will be left somewhat to the player's own interpretation/head canon, as the game won't get too specific about that. As for career options for Step 4, that is something still down the line, so there isn't a list yet.  Thanks for following!

The demo version is compatible, so you should be good to continue from where you left off. Thanks for playing, and we hope you're looking forward to the early access release!

Yes, the Windows and Linux files are the same! You just unzip that, and it should work just fine. If you do run into any issues, please let us know, and have fun!

There will be a wedding DLC, but unfortunately not one for Renee.

So happy you've been following for so long! As for your question, in Steps 1 and 2, the leads both have their own rides, but that might be something that could happen in Step 3.

Sorry you're having an error! What does it say, exactly?

As for the Steam version, that is not actually compatible with the Android version. Steam does not support mobile, so that version can only be obtained on itch.io.

Certainly! For the currently available demo, our main artists are:

Character artist - redridingheart

Background artist - Vic Alen (VicAlen4 on Twitter)

Cut-In Artist - talentlesshuman

We have more wonderful people helping us as well, whose work you'll be able to see in the Early Access release! We hope you're looking forward to it.

Hello! We're so glad you love the art. We actually have several different artists that help us depending on if you mean the character or background art. You'd have to ask them about their individual techniques. We can certainly point you in the right direction if you'd like to know about our wonderful artists. Thanks for following!

Hello! Are you having some kind of issue with it? If there's something we can do to help, just let us know. We will also mention this to our programmer, though it will have to wait until after the early access launch of Our Life: Now & Forever. Thanks for letting us know!

It will become available here on itch.io and Steam! The base game will be free, and the Step 1 and 2 DLCs will be purchasable for $5.99 USD each. Happy early birthday!

Hello! So sorry for the late reply. Hopefully we can still help. Could you send us a screenshot of the inside of your "game" folder, as well as tell us what operating system you're using?

Hello again. Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately, that first reply turned out not to be inaccurate, and the Extended Edition does not transfer over to Steam. This version is standalone, and has to be purchased separately on those two platforms. Again, very sorry for that. If you'd like, you can potentially contact itch.io support and request a refund, which we would authorize, so that you can get it on Steam instead. Thank you so much for playing!

Hello! Sorry you're having trouble. Hopefully we can help. Could you send us a screenshot of the interior of your "game" folder, as well as let us know what operating system you're using?

Unfortunately, itch.io doesn't support that payment method, and it doesn't seem like Steam does either, but you might have different options in your Steam interface. Sorry about that, but we appreciate your interest!

Hello! Sorry to hear that. Could you let us know exactly what the issue is? Does it simply not start when you click on it, or does not file appear?

Hello! Sorry for the delayed reply. We asked the lead programmer what might the be cause, and they found this article talking about a similar issue with Instagram showing the same error:

https://en.paperblog.com/how-to-fix-instagram-closed-because-this-app-has-a-bug-...

There are a few steps listed in there that might help fix this, with the most relevant being clearing your device's cache and data, or a clean reinstall of the game. Hopefully that helps, but if you're still having issues, let us know. Thanks for playing!

Just confirming the screenshot shared by that other user was correct! The the DLCs will be priced at $5.99 USD. Hope you're looking forward to the early access release!

Hello! Yes, the game is safe to download, provided you got it here from itch.io and not somewhere else. It's normal for mobile security features to flag executable files like our game. Hope you have fun!

We're sorry to hear you're having trouble! Hopefully we can help. We have a few questions first to give us more information.

What operating system are you using? Are there any messages saying what kind of error it is? When does this error happen, exactly? When you try to download the game from itch.io?

Thank you!

Hello! We'd be happy if you or anyone else was interested in making a game inspired by Our Life. You can potentially find some useful guides and tools created by our lead programmer, Shawna, here on their website:

Thanks so much for following, and best of luck in your creative journey!

Yes, it will be releasing on Steam as well! We're so happy you're excited for it, and in fact we announced the early access release date today: November 27th. Thanks for following!

Most of the game's content will be completed in 2027, but there will be extra content added in 2028 as well. You can find the full breakdown on the roadmap. Thanks for following!

You can find the Mac version here on this page. It's the third download on the list. If you need help setting it up, let us know, and have fun!

Yes, it is safe to open. It's normal for some malware programs to flag executables like our game. Thanks so much for playing, and have fun!

The soundtrack will be available when the early access release comes out! We're so glad you enjoy it, and thanks for playing.

Unfortunately, there won't be a Ren DLC. Though we do love her, and we're glad you do too!
