Lost at Birth will tell the story of a rather ordinary guy.
Stable job, nice house, comfortable routine, married, with no kids… that he knows of.
In short, his life is pleasantly boring.
To spice things up he has some fun on the side that his wife doesn't need to know about. Then things turn upside-down when a young woman comes into his life…with a birth certificate.

I bought this game on here a while back. I am reading to get the new version I need to do what exactly? Buy again on another platform??
Hello. I went to Stream, and all my saved files now say incompatible. I'm unable to play previous saved games on Stream. Also, I wanted to download Chapter 9 for Windows, but it says I need a key.
Do you mean steam?
All save files previous to chapter 9 are no longer compatible, you can start from any chapter your want by using the chapter selection system. New game -> Start from chapter.
The version on steam is chapter 9 CE as well.
You will need to contact itch.io support and ask them about that, I don't know anything about a key. The game should be in your library.
I'm guessing CE is a paid version.
Does this game have ntr or will include ntr in the future?
No.
Oh I'm glad, I just finished the game and this is so good. Good job and keep up the good work. Btw based on the last update, pregnancy tag is already confirmed right?
Awesome chapter 9!
great story but its sad that most adult vn games can not be bought in germany - any chance to get the complete edition outside of steam / patreon ?
There's no way to directly buy the game outside steam at the moment.
You can get a friend from a different country to gift you a steam key and it should work. That's the only method that works.
Alternatively.
If you have a patreon or subscribestar account, subscribe to Gold tier or higher. Then contact me over discord or email itchv19games@gmail.com (Or even a direct message in Patreon/Subs itself), send me the email or username you used to subscribe and I will send you a steam key.
This is the only way I can sell the game to people in Germany/Brazil at the moment.
You can buy the game outside of steam now on:
https://www.oppaiman.com/app/Lost_at_Birth_0.9 it uses your patreon account so you need one in order to "buy" the game. It basically makes you able to do a "one time purchase" and have it in a library.
I enjoy the game, but the MC is a bit of a cuck - the dude works as hard as his wife full time, yet he's always the one cooking and he's always apologising to her. The wife rules the roost and even when he has something assertive to say....he doesn't say it, he just thinks it.
I don't like playing as wimp characters. Dude needs to man up and stop confessing to everyone.
Other than that, I like what the author is trying to do with a difficult storyline. Just don't make the MC so weak, pls
PS: I hate his wife. She's just too selfish and too bossy. I wish there was an option to leave her (please Mr Dev?)
That sounds like it's really one sided, from my experience I hate these character types, even those that you could understand a little bit, always have to act submissive.
is this harem or one girl kinda story?
hello v19 i have the same issus i paid the game here and the new version say i need a key.
There's a problem with how itch works.
If I change the game to paid, then people who bought the game can download their purchases, but then the game doesn't show up as having a free version anymore so I lose all traffic to the game.
I would assume itch won't help with this after they banned my payout possibility as it seems they really hate nsfw devs.
You should be able to download the game in your library now.
Hey so I bought the game on here Last February(2023) and I played through all the content at the time, Today I was going through some old emails and saw the receipt for it so I decided to come back and see what's up. Is there a way to get an updated version of it? I've seen the other replies having issues but I download it from my library and it's only chapter 5. (When opening the game it says V. Chapter 5 in the bottom right) and when I click on the Chapter 8 link it tells me I need a key?
I just sent a key to myself and tested it, indeed it doesn't let you download the paid versions. I'm looking into it but it may take time.
Edit: I just "fixed" it.
It seems you cant price files individually when payments are not available anymore because the system doesn't work somehow.
You should be able to download the latest build from your library now.
Sweet. Just downloaded it and it seemed to do the trick. I'll keep you updated otherwise. Thanks dude!
Is there anyway i can get a key for the game because i bought it before you switched to steam.
If you bought the game the download should be in your itch library, it shouldn't ask for a key there.
oh ok
Because Steam blocked the store pages of adult games in Germany but allowed to activate a Steam key of these games, is it possible to get a Steam key, when I pledge on Patreon?
-Resolved-
care to elaborate how this was solved? Steam still blocks this game.
A friend can gift you the game.
But in the case of "73red" I offered a alternative method via discord.
But it requieres a friend in another country for us germans. So its not really a solution.
Can you buy the game here or do I need to pay for it some where else. All I can do is download the chapter 5 link and no option to pay for it
The game is no longer available for purchase on itch.io
You can buy the game on Steam (PC) or get it from supporter platforms like Patreon or Subscribestar (PC/MAC/Android).
Hello, I tried downloading Chapter 7 but got an error message that I needed a key.
You need to download the game from your itch library.
Go to your profile->My library.
Are you talking about the itch app cuz if you are, there's still an issue. When i click install or even click on chapter 7 file, it just shows chapter 5, no other option
Just in the regular website.
If you bought the complete edition of the game it should appear in:
My Library-> My purchases
And you should be able to download the game from there with no problems.
The "This title is hosted on an incompatible third party website" message, I've never seen that before. But the game is hosted in the same server as always (The public version as well) so it makes no sense.
I bought it on Steam but I actually want the .apk for the mobile phone, how can I get it?
The Android version is only available right now on Patreon and Subscribestar.
The .apk is not available at the moment as one time purchase, I'm looking for alternatives but I can't find much. The play store doesn't seem to allow explicit adult games so If you know of any platform which allows this kind of games let me know.
You can contact me over discord and I may be able to provide a .apk link for you if we can verify your steam purchase.
Have a good day.
Same question, but for the Mac version. There are ways by creating some files on the command-line and relaunching Steam to force it to DL so you can run it with Ren'Py, but it's kind of a pain.
Any chance you'd be willing to team up with somebody that owns an Apple machine and turn a proper signed Mac build for Steam? I haven't tried it, but there's a script called renotize that signs and notarizes Ren'Py Mac binaries. It requires a Mac to run the thing, along with a Developer ID cert from Apple, but the latter is part of the $99 developer program membership, so it's really mostly a matter of finding someone who owns a Mac and convincing them to download and install Xcode, sign in, and maybe download and double-click some certificate bundles if Apple still hasn't gotten that automation right. :-D
I won't be able to do support or bug fixing for mac, so I don't think I will officially support mac on steam in the near future.
Not to mention the mac user base is way too small so with the effort/benefit ratio in mind is just not worth it for me.
I hope that answers your question, have a good day.
where is the key
Click on your profile->My library
If you bought the game it should appear there to download.
The best visuals I've ever seen in a VN, bar none. Beautiful, with careful attention to detail, lighting effects, and humans who have progressed out of Uncanny Valley.
The story is a mix of lazy erotica and interesting interpersonal dynamics. While the relationship with the wife Justine seems at first glance to be an obvious and lazy way of giving you a woman for whom you'll feel no loyalty, the relationship is merely strained, not ruined. There are multiple times that it seems like you could focus the entire VN on repairing this relationship rather than anything else. There's hope for your marriage. The "daughter" Kailey (who might not be MC's daughter, for those of you skeeved out) is just as beautiful, and fulfills a man's natural desire to be needed. The relationship with her is rushed, lazy, lustful, and uninteresting. She goes from new-found acquaintance to sex toy in an instant, with virtually no lead-up. This section of the story seems like it should have been enough of a focal point that it would have gotten a lot of attention, and been developed into a plot of seduction (on her part or MC's), with tension between desires and the impropriety of it. Instead, she surprises MC with her desire, that tension is given a little lip service in his thoughts, and then it's on to sex. It's so rushed that the eroticism is ruined. I would have found this far less disappointing if the story had focused on the eroticism rather than the pornography of showing another sex act. The side piece from work, Cassidy, provides plenty of that on her own.
Speaking of the side piece, here are more mixtures of good and bad writing. She serves to introduce us to MC's sex addiction, which might have been a very interesting story element to explore (may still be in the future, if it's treated with some seriousness and not just used as an excuse for more sex). However, her "serial monogamy," as she puts it, and her devotion to MC just doesn't fit her personality at all; she decides out of nowhere that this anonymous hookup partner is going to be her one and only, at least for a while, even though he's married. It's an obvious lie, too, since she's been having sex with the barista girl. She is, on the whole, very sketchy, and untrustworthy. However, MC blunders into telling her about the sexual tension between him and Kailey (even though that tension lasts less than a day), putting him at great risk. It seems like this oversexed receptionist is being set up to be a villain who ruins MC's life because he's too careless to: 1) not tell anyone about his extra-marital affairs, 2) keep his desire for Kailey a secret, and 3) verify that the barista she presents to MC as a sexual gift is at least old enough that he won't end up in jail. That last one is a bit more flexible because she could be legal and younger than 18 or at least 18 and still too young to legally consent, depending on the player's local laws, but since nothing establishes her age, and Miss Side Piece is being perfectly set up to blackmail (or worse) MC, it seems like just another risky point that's going to come back to hurt him. He's more careful to not get taken advantage of by the girl who thinks she might be his daughter, who wants him for nothing but curiosity, than by the slut who gets everything she wants just by offering easy sex. If it turns out that the completed VN has her as a villain who uses MC's careless sex addiction to ruin him and line her pockets, I'll be impressed at how well that was set up. If not, then me mentally shouting, "No, you fool! You can't trust this bitch at all!" was for nothing. I hope it pays off somehow.
There's a promising story with MC's boss that has yet to develop. You're given the option to take a dominant or submissive path with her. In any other kind of VN this might just be a good or bad choice, but since this is an erotic VN and she's a hot woman, I'm assuming it will lead to another sexual affair where you get to either dominate or submit to her. It's a good setup, handled well, because you're left wondering more about the effects your choices will have on MC's job than on whether you're going to eventually see her wearing a slave collar or a strap-on.
The relationship with the wife is also promising. There are a few ways it's hinted that Wife and Kailey are a little too familiar to just think of each other as strangers or rivals (so far they haven't known each other long enough to be anything but both), but instead see each other as a desired sexual partner. I'm a bit worried this is going to be forced on us, instead of being a choice. I could see the plot developing where Wife and Daughter get a little too drunk, start talking about their mutual lust for MC, and end up all over each other. If would be wonderful if we're given the choice between a bisexual wife and daughter, or keeping both of them straight, while still getting a threesome. I'm not personally into getting cuckolded, even by a woman, so I'd prefer it's a choice. It's pretty obvious that the plot is leading to Wife finding out about Kailey being MC's sex doll, and Wife being perfectly okay with it, as long as she gets dicked on the regular. That's fine, I just hope it's more interesting than the plainly predictable plot we've seen a hundred times in other games. Her being the MC's wife, and the complexity of their relationship, is another plot element that has a lot of promise. So much so that an entire VN could be written based on nothing else but this one relationship, with or without any erotic elements.
This game's visuals are simply astounding, and it's worth checking out for that alone.
Choices I hope to see in future updates:
* When Wife confronts MC about impregnating Kailey, she demands a blood test, since the girl might not be his daughter at all. Will you accept her as your pregnant sex doll daughter without question, or verify the truth? Unrealistic but possibly beneficial choice would be to decide as the player if she's his real daughter or the daughter he's always wanted, even though she's just a stranger. The game almost, but doesn't quite, have incest. Give us a choice for it to be incest for real, or just a relationship with a sweet girl who has daddy issues.
* Wife and Kailey might be open to having sex with each other, giving you a full sex triangle. Do you encourage them to challenge their sexual limits, or do you enforce monogamy on them, allowing you to be the only one who sexually satisfies both? Either option is sexy.
* Since I happen to love the dominant/submissive relationship, I hope you are given the choice to pursue that dynamic (flipped either way, of course) with MC's boss, rather than the workplace choices so far given only leading to job success. Just an idea, but it would be fun if the boss were into pain, either as a masochistic sub or a sadist dom, but not in a way that forces the MC to be into pain as well (she wants to deliver or receive pain for her pleasure, not MC's).
* Either Miss Side Piece is actually being set up to be villainous, or we need a lot more choices governing how MC's relationship with her develops. I would have chosen not to tell her the truth about the issues with Kailey, for instance. But, sometimes your MC has to do something stupid, so I get it. I hope there's more choice given in the future, though.
* When Boss Lady finds out about MC's affair with the receptionist, I hope there's an option for it to be a threesome, and I hope that if we choose to dominate or submit to the boss, Side Piece joins in on the fun and plays along. Having two subs or doms is better than one, after all.
* Kailey and the barista are close in age, have the same interest (MC), and have similar sexual experiences (also MC) so wouldn't be too intimidated by each other. Will you encourage them to be friends or do you keep your secret by making sure they never meet? Maybe she wants to work as a barista, now that she quit her job? If you decide Wife and Kailey are bisexual now, then Kailey and Barista should get it on. Or, maybe they both think it's hot to be friends who share a sexy Daddy, like sisters.
* It's probably beyond the possibility for an erotic visual novel to give us the option to either repair MC's marriage or continue down the dark path he's on in the beginning (basically, make two stories with little in common with each other). Like I said, the marriage problems could be a whole VN without the daughter or anything else added, the sky is the limit here. But, some limited choices with her would be wonderful. Do you keep your wife happy or force her to accept your infidelity and sex addiction? Do you choose to be with Kailey instead, and let the wife go? Do you try to change the wife, and do you do it for her benefit or yours?
sir, this is a wendys
lol nuggies pls
From now on the Windows/linux version of the game will also be updated on Itch along with Mac and Android. While I want nothing to do with Itch anymore I understand that there are some people who missed the Steam key deadline that may feel a certain way about it. So I decided to just update everything and be done with it.
If you get a "Key is needed" message just go to your Library and download the game from there, you should have no problems.
Have a good day.
Just looked on the itch data search. There's no payments attached to your username.
Maybe you bought the game with a different account?
thank you for doing that
library is?
Should I buy this game on patreon?
i'm more interested in the office than home. being dominant & fucking over leilani & possibly take her seat in the office & maybe even climb much higher in the company hierarchy. goddamn
hi i try to downloade chapter 5 complete for windows and saying key is needed please help
It says a key is needed for chapter 6 complete what is that about?
is this an harem or one girl kinda deal?
How many chapters do you intend to complete your story? Looks like a good one to check out.
Does the permanent move to Steam and the issues with Itch mean the discontinuation of the Android version of the game or are there plans to host that elsewhere?
As I have no other way of providing the Android version at the moment, I will continue to update it here on itch so the people who bought it get access to it.
If I find a better way in the future to provide the Android updates I will make a post here so the Android fans know how they can keep getting their updates.
This is to honor the people who supported the game as much as I can from my end but I won't be updating any public version from now on.
I hope that answers your question.
It does, and I appreciate your reply and also the unfortunate situation you're in.
I payed for the game but that really isn't the issue. I just want to make sure I can maintain access to what is certainly shaping up to be one of my favorite stories.
Keep up the good work.
The game is now available on Steam Early Access (Coming Soon)

Hi, i bought the game on itch however i would like to continue to play the game. I would prefer not having to buy the game again my email. many thanks for the great game so far.
Hi, the game is not out on steam yet, I will make an announcement via devblog when you have to do the "migration" probably with the release of chapter 6.
Btw I suggest you delete your email out of the message as it could get you a lot of spam and dangerous scam mails.
what is the discord link?
I bought this 3 days ago. I like it but I'm not buying it again elsewhere. bummer because its good.
Itch is doing a witch hunt against adult games developers at the moment. There's nothing I can do.
The game will be released on steam with Chapter 6, I will provide a steam key for anyone that can provide an email that has a itch purchase on my list so you won't need to purchase the game again.
I hope that clarifies the situation a bit.
Consider joining the discord and I should be able to provide more information or help.
Just searched for it on Steam and didn't find it. When will it up there?
With the release of Chapter 6, around late may / early June.
THIS GAME IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE ON ITCH.IO
THEY HAVE DECIDED TO DISABLE OUR PAYOUT METHOD, PLEASE CONSIDER SUPPORTING OR GETTING THE GAME ON OTHER PLATFORM INSTEAD.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
Man this is freaking awesome. I'm starting to feel like his world is gonna come crashing down at work. Luke he is about to be setup with his side piece by the boss or get caught or something. Same feeling also with just females in general like to talk. But it's got to the point where I'm like ok next avene something bad is about to happen with him getting caught... Let's hope not and this is just my own personal issues about trust LOL
Love it. Great game. Cant wait fot more!
I feel sorry for those that missed the Hamilton reference 'cause I laughed so hard on that one XD
With Chapter 5 is it considered over? Because I would like to buy only when it's complete, thank you!
No, it's pretty much still an ongoing development.
You may have to wait quite a lot of time for the game to be completed.
So glad I bought this game! As it's complete, you should definitely try to get this on Steam and GOG!
I bought Chapter 4. Says Chapter 5 is released but I'm not able to download it from my purchases page/game page. Looks like i have to buy Chapter 5 if i want to play it...
Chapter 5 is out in Early Access. You will be able to download the new chapter soon as the early access will end in some hours and it will be just regular complete edition, so your library should update with the new chapter.
I purchased Chapter 5 today but I can't download it due to download restrictions from Mega.nz. I need an alternative download.
Sadly there's no way that I know to add alternative download links.
Send me the details to my itch email here: V19email
I should be able to confirm the payment with just your Email Adress.
Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for your support.
Thank you, will do.
Actually, nevermind. I was able to download it through Mega.nz by changing my IP address. Thanks for your assistance.
I've paid 4$ but the Complete Edition for Android didn't unlock
I'm sorry to hear that but if that's the case I can't do anything to fix it myself. You should contact itch about that.
If you paid over 3.50 it should unlock.
