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

Hello! This story is a bit too intense, and would be better shared on another social media platform, rather than this game page. We would ask you to please delete it. Thank you for understanding!

Hey folks, this particular thread has gotten a bit far off topic from Our Life: Now & Forever related content. We'd ask you to please refrain from carrying it on further, at least on this page. Thank you!

I'm so glad you found the game both enjoyable and inspiring! I'm not sure if this will help with your specific programming question, but our lead programmer has a website with useful information specifically about Ren'py, so hopefully this can help you:

Thank you again for playing, and good luck with your own efforts!

Yes! The DLCs are rpa files which can be found in your Steam directory. You should be able to find them if you right click on Our Life in Steam, click on Properties > Installed Files > Browse > and then the directory should open up. In there, click on the "Game" folder, and look for the files with the .rpa ending. Move those into the "Game" folder of your itch.io version, and that should work. If you need more help, just let me know!

Do you mean the voiced name pack? Here's a link directly to the page!

Scroll down and you should see a download link for your operating system, as well as instructions on how to add the files. Hopefully that helps, and if you have any more questions, just ask. Hope you enjoy the game, and thank you for playing!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're glad you enjoyed the game, and we totally understand that life can be a bit crazy at times. We don't actually handle refunds directly on itch.io, but you should be able to contact their support page and get a refund:

We really appreciate you playing the game, and best of luck with your semester!

OK, great! Glad it worked, and enjoy the game. Thanks so much for playing.

I'm sorry, I don't know what Joiplay is, and I don't think the game was meant to run on that. Not sure if I can help troubleshoot that, but I can try. Is there some kind of error message you get when it closes?

Hopefully I can help! There are instructions here on the itch.io page, but I can walk you through it. What operating system are you using? Windows, Linux, Mac, or Android?

Sorry about that! What does the error message say? Hopefully I can help.

OK, thank you. Recently we've been having a few people struggling with the Android version of the game, and are still trying to work out what might be happening. I have a potential fixes, but they might not work:

You can try clearing space on your phone, in case there isn't enough storage; you can try turning in game animations off from the settings menu; you can see if there's a security feature or virus scanner blocking the game from running.

Again, other people have had issues as well that were not fixed by the above solutions, so I apologize if none of those work. We are still looking into the matter to see if there's a more reliable solution!

Sorry about that! Is it an Android phone?

Sorry about that! Could you explain a bit more the issue, or maybe share a screenshot of what your game files look like? Hopefully I can help.

Thank you! We know how excited people are, and especially on Patreon. We appreciate all of you so much 💗

We would ask that you please not post screenshots from the Patreon Beta. We'll be removing these images tomorrow if you haven't already. We appreciate that you're enjoying the game! But we hope you understand.

Hello! I hope I translated this correctly, but unfortunately, there is no Spanish version of the game, and probably never will be. We're sorry about that, but we're very grateful you have such interest in our game.

Hello! I translated this as best I could, and unfortunately, the game does not have a Portuguese version, and probably never will. We are sorry about that, but we really appreciate your interest in our game.

Thank you so much for sharing that image, that's a big help! I think I see the problem. It looks like the Wedding DLC is still in its zipped format, which is why it's not showing up as installed. Try extracting it to the same folder and see if that works.

I'm sorry we couldn't figure out the issue, but I hope you enjoy Now and Forever, at least! Thank you so much for your patience, and for playing our games.

So sorry about that! The only other thing I can think of at the moment is that there might be some kind of security feature on your device that's blocking it. But if that doesn't work, we'll have to look into something else.

Your English is very good, don't worry! But darn, two of the things didn't work. The only other thing it might be is a security feature or virus scanner that's blocking the game for some reason. Maybe a permission or something. I don't know what path you take on your device to access that, I'm afraid, but hopefully you can find it and see if you can allow the game to run.

OK! That's great. Thanks so much for playing the game, and we hope you enjoy.

OK, there's a few things that might help: You can try to clear out space on your phone, in case the game doesn't have enough storage to run. You might have a virus scanner that's blocking it, or your device might be preventing it from running as a security feature, so you can try creating exceptions for the game in those. You could also try turning off animations in the settings to see if that works. If none of that helps, let me know and we'll try something else. Hopefully we can resolve the issue!

Sorry if you've been having any issues! Are you playing on PC, Mac, or Android?

I'm sorry, I translated your message to try to understand, so hopefully I can help. Are you unable to access the DLC? If so, you might have to reinstall the game completely with a fresh version and start that one.

I don't own a Mac, so can't really say for certain, but I think this is a path to find your save files:

~/Library/RenPy/game_directory

To access the above path:

Open up a Finder window

Press COMMAND + SHIFT + G

Paste/enter the path (~/Library/RenPy/game_directory) into the text field and hit Go

Hopefully that helps! And thanks so much for playing.

Maybe the DLC didn't go to the correct folder. When you open the main menu, there should be a box in the corner called "DLC Info". Does that show the Wedding DLC as being installed?

OK! Glad to hear that. Hopefully it keeps running for you. Thanks so much for playing!

Sorry about that! There should be a simple fix: while in the game, press Shift + G and change the renderer to ANGLE renderer. That usually does it. If not, then you can turn off animations in the settings menu instead. Hopefully that helps, and thanks so much for playing!

We can't do key swapping, but you can take the Steam DLC rpas out of the Steam Our Life game folder and add them to the Mac game folder of the Itch version. No need to buy them again! Thank you so much for playing the game, and we're glad you enjoyed it.

Darn. There are a few things you can try that might help: You can try clearing some space on your tablet, in case it doesn't have enough space to run. You could try seeing if there's a virus scanner or security feature that thinks the game is suspicious. Or you could turn off animations in the game's options menu to see if that makes it easier to run.

We're sorry, but unfortunately that isn't something we'll be able to implement. In a game as long as this one, which follows the characters for so many years, we wouldn't be able to implement such a sensitive topic in a way that properly coveys its importance. It also wouldn't be fair to include one form of disability assistance and not others, like mobility aids. We really appreciate your interest in the game, though! Thank you for your feedback.

Sorry about that! Are you getting some kind of error message when it crashes, or does it just close? Hopefully I can help you get it to work properly.

We're gonna do a small update to add back the original Step 2 preview scenes, but there won't be another major update that adds a new Moment or anything for a while.

Sorry you're having trouble! Hopefully I can help. You'll need to download the base game from itch, and then move the DLC files into a folder within the base game. There are instructions on the DLC pages themselves. If you still have issues, just say so!

The file for the Wedding DLC is just an .rpa, so if you put it in the appropriate folder in the base game folder, it will still work, even on Mac.

No problem. Thanks so much for playing, and hope you enjoy!

Just to reiterate the other reply, if you find where you downloaded the file, you can extract the game files from it. If you still need help, just say so!

We prefer not having AI generated images shared on our page, and would ask you to please delete this one. We hope you understand!
