[RPG] GROVE: "Dark Places" (v0.308)
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
"Grove” is an M/M focused NSFW RPG following the journey of an adventurer as he attempts to venture into the far north of an unexplored land. You play as Grove, a skilled dragon explorer and cartographer assisting in the main island colonisation.
As parties disperse, individuals begin to disappear further towards the cusp of the north. Soon, rumours of curses and monstrous entities encroaching from the northern expanse begin to spread among your ranks. As you near the end of your allocated survey areas, you are given a strange contraption with a marked map, the only guide to its function.
Your interest piqued, you set off and begin your journey into the northern expanse.
Contains M/M focused intercourse, dubcon / noncon sexual encounters, tentacles, hypnosis, slimes and some latex.

How to save game
Press your 'esc.' key. You can save from the menu.
Will there be a mobile version?
Is there anywhere else to see substar content? They randomly nuked my card, but my card is with a disability check account in my mother's name due to getting disability rights as a teen.
So, I'd have to send substar her info to get them to re-okay the card, which I can't do.
Sorry, we're only using Substar at the moment. But everything shown off on the Substar will be implemented in our game projects when they're released.
Can someone help me? the lizard guy told me to look for titanium for the lever but where do I find it?
There's a well to the south of the inn. You need to find your way inside.
if youre taking suggestions, you should add in a way to watch back the sex scenes from the "bad ends" (if you haven't already)
There's a gallery when you complete the game.
i found it pretty soon after i left this reply haha, thanks anyways tho!
For your part 2 of Grove, you know that in one scene in the bandit's hideout, when you get captured, your character is being penis-milked by a machine with blindfolds, and, at the same time, being fucked as well as milked endlessly in a latex secret chamber room chair that also does the same thing but with latex on. Could you possibly add more of that but this time optional like Proweler without your character dying? What I’m trying to say is that having more options means our character doesn’t always have to die when having kinky stuff when facing a monster or villain all the time. When defeating a boss, you can still have relationships or more interaction with characters at the same time, with more sex stuff in them too. That’s all me and everyone who likes that stuff wishes to be in your game if possible. Please
Hey, guys! I discovered a way to play Grove and games made in RPG Maker on mobile.
You will need to install an emulator called JoiPlay: https://joiplay.net/.
Then, install the Windows version of Grove. You will also need to install an app like RAR to unzip the Grove file.
When JoiPlay is installed, open the app (obviously) and grant it access to your smartphone files.
Next, use RAR to unzip the Grove file. To play the game, select the executable file and open it WITH JoiPlay. You just need to enter the name of the game and its version.
To save your progress, simply use the game's save feature. You can play the game using touch controls or, if you prefer, a gamepad.
I prefer to use a gamepad mainly for the escape button, which works like a return button. Without it, you can't go back in certain situations during battles.
Enjoy!
(Sorry if there are any mistakes in my English—it's my second language)
Nice, thanks now I can play this game. ^•^
I would like to personally thank you, because I can finally play prowler at 60 fps compared to 7 on my laptop😭🙏
You're welcome
If I were to have the alienware laptop, can I get this on it? If yes, which one do I install?
Most likely the Windows version!
Kk, thx, I'll give it a try when I get the laptop! (Hopefully soon)
playful
real cool game i have play it for like 10h and dont even realize
oi queria muito jogar esse jogono celular por favor
Se liga aí no meu último comentário, só traduz ele e vc vai entender.
Is there still content being made for this game? I LOVED prowler..but Grove has a special place in my heart :P....it has corrupted me haha
Yes! We're returning to work on Grove, and will have some news to share about it soon! We recommend you +Follow GROVE DEVELOPMENT here, or on one of our social links listed above, so you're notified!
Done...annnd Done! :D thanks!!
Will this game be available for android users? I've wanted to play this game for a really long time, but I don't have an apple phone, or a laptop 😭😭😭
Due to some of the features and plugins this game uses, mobile emulation has a few issues. We don't officially support it because we don't want to tell people to play a version of the game we know is half-baked.
Some people have still tried, got mixed results by running the game through mobile emulators of RPG Maker. You're free to try yourself if you really want to, but we won't be able to help with any bugs or issues you come across I'm afraid.
Oh, ok. Thank for letting me know!
how do i beat the mask minigame in the windmill i just cannot beat it
Pay attention to the visuals on-screen. Don't they look like arrow keys...?
is there plans to come back to this project? this is my favorite nsfw rpg it hits all my kinks , you are azaming ty
Yep, we're returning to developing Grove now that we're finished with Prowler. No estimated time yet, but it's our focus once more.
could somebody tell me how to get the gallery i know its unlocked after beating the bandit hideout but thats all i know and i havent seen a prompt to access it at all
You've been misinformed I'm afraid. The gallery isn't available until you've completed the entire story.
i forgot to put the barrel on the rope near the shop by the river, how do i get there again? 😭
Travel through the slug cavern in the jungle
这游戏终于又要重新开始更新了，真好。作者后面会更新新的机制吗？如果主角的腐化值继续增加，会不会用荡妇的方式赢得战斗，比如主动和敌人性交？
Sorry, it's too early to talk about specifics... but yes, we are going back to developing Grove next!
Great, best of luck. Glad on the development, take all the time in the world.
期待作者的更新：]
Yay! so excited :)
Hullo! So, I found a bug with the green fruit thing. You're kinda able to walk while the scene of the green fruit thing makes you really horny to the point of masturbating right where you are. Oh, and It also runs whenever an events starts. And because of that, while I was doing the delivery event, the scene started running and now the texts and images end up mixing with the event. Im not sure if playing on Android affects it but yeah, Ive got a screenshot right here.
hi i been having trouble getting kunos carve knife in the cursed section of the slime cave do you have any hints to give to get closer to the sidequest?
If you've reached the deep caves where the red slime dragons attack, you need to interact with certain things in the cave. Check the vines on the right, then the broken wood on the left, then go back to the right...
you know after take a carve knife for Kuno. Where after I can fine him? I had big problems with it.
Have you been down to the cave with the red and green slime dragons? You'll find the knife down at the bottom of this dungeon.
After you find it, return to the quest building and talk to the Auxiliary Commander. He will help you complete the quest.
Hi i already complete the game (i love it, I love kuno, we must protect him with our lives)
BUT in the Gallery i FOUND this
How do i unlock this room? (sorry if the Image is big i Try to make it small but fail miserably)
I have Multiple saves for back tracking i already try it but i don't have a idea how unlock this room
This room cannot be unlocked yet. We have it for the future, when we continue to expand the game.
What I need to do whit the well gate key?
Use it to unlock the gate for the well. That would make sense, no?
The well is directly down from the Inn, and then just off to the right.
I had a problem completing a quest with the delivery of three packages. I accepted the assignment on the errand board and successfully delivered all three packages. but when you try to pass the task, the game says that the quest is not completed.
There's no problem with the quest. You have been given additional items to deliver by the initial recipients. Did you ignore what they were saying?
...luckily for you, the packages are in your Key Items in the menu. Look for items marked with a 'star' symbol. The description says who to deliver them to and where they are, approximately. Just make sure to read this time...
I must have been overworked and couldn't see the obvious point-blank. Thanks for the help! I really like this game.
(thanks to you, Grove enjoyed a delicious bun)
You're welcome, I'm glad you could complete the quest
I'm at the bandit dungeon, but I don’t know how to escape once captured.
Investigate the bars on your cell... maybe there's a weakpoint.
询问是否有完整的配送任务流程
Check your Key Items. The things you need to deliver are marked with a 'star' icon and describe who to deliver them to.
Love this game 11/10 and yes the game is "Spicy" But geninuly enjoy this game, the characters, the history and the combat
BUT I FOUND A BUG
is not a bad bug,just a visual bug and is bcs i like fear and hunger termina......... What does this have to do with the game you may ask? Well everything And is beacuse The images changed places in the Taskbar, I swear I don't touch anything and they changed themselves
(For people who don't know the imagen of grove should be purple )
Ah... yes, this is kind of an RPG Maker bug, not a Grove specific thing. I don't know that there's much we can do about it ourselves, but thank you for bringing it up anyway.
Hey, in grove, im at the sandstorm, and my save is stuck because when i take any steps i die of thirst but i have no other saves other than restarting... i really dont want to restart but i dont think there is any way to recover though i have no water... and i cant even teleport!
Please if theres anything you can do ive been playing on that save for hours and my other save is a few hours behind and i dont want to go through all that again
If you've saved right before you collapse from exhaustion, there's... not much that can really be done about that. It probably would have been a better idea to save before entering the desert, no?
I don't know where exactly you are standing, but try and see if you can walk to some nearby shade, like a house, or a little canyon. If you can find these locations, try walking around inside of them for a bit until your exhaustion clears.
If you can't take any more steps then you've basically save-locked yourself and you'll have to return to a prior save.
Moblie version when?
I think they say That they weren't planning to do it, but you can use joycon or something like that was the name
Below the comments someone said how to do it, I recommend looking for it
can someone tell me how to get to the bossfight of the webbed overseer? i've been to the dune in the desert and defeat the sand cobra, but i don't think i have been able to fully explore or clear the southern forest, maybe i missed something, do you need to clear that forest to get through the second big sandstorm?
The "webbed overseer" is a bit of a ways in the future. You'll get a task later to head into the southern jungle and find an 'ancient tree'. That's where you'll meet them.
You HAVE to do this task to complete the game, so don't worry, it's not missable.
thank you so much!!!!
I can play this using JoiPlay right?
You can try, but there are certain graphical and gameplay bugs. We don't recommend it, but you can play it if you really want to.
Ok!
am so excited that the version 309 come out, i have been waiting for sooo long
怎么打过采集两个橘子返回路上的龙，我想我也许卡在这里
Try letting him Grapple you... and then use the Resist move at the right timing! You'll be able to remove parts of his clothing!
Pay attention to the dialogue, and the visual elements!
weird question- but does anyone have grove save files placed right before the mopth night encounter and the dusty mine? my pc got corrupted- along with all my files, so mine are gone. thank you for the help!
please?
when is the next update?
They are busy focusing on their other game Prowler. Its really good and you should try it out
Anyway this game wont be focused as much for a while probs
...sometime! prowler dropped, and so they're presumably going to continue work for the next update !! :3 in the meantime ive just been replaying the game lol
Tem alguma pretensão deste jogo ter idioma em português?
Sorry, we have no plans at this time...! All our translations are done by kind volunteers, and we don't have any Portuguese volunteers.
非常好游戏，使我的xp疯狂旋转XD
仅仅只是第一部分的表现就令我如此愉悦，如此杂多的“艺术”和量大管饱的剧情让我更加期待后面的故事了
不过我仍然提议在突发遭遇战（突然进入高难精英或者boss战）的时候给玩家一个存档的时间或者自动存档，因为有时候菜的一批如果不小心忘记存档就会很麻烦，以及即使又99个存档似乎还是不够我用XD；同时我也建议在重复战斗失败时加上一个“skip”键，因为有时候遇到比较难的战斗会导致重复且多次进行战斗，有些时候就有些麻烦;以及我在游玩过程中一直挺期待和友方npc们“进一步交流”，不过这一方面似乎少之又少.....不知道之后会不会推出感情线或者多结局路线呢？
最后十分感谢让我玩到这样优质又色气的游戏，希望你们能继续做下去，期待你们的更新和创作🌹
Thank you for playing and for your very kind praise!
这个CG怎么解锁？？
