[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.

This game is simply incredible! The story, the atmosphere, the characters... everything!
Ahh, wish there would be an android version- it has been a while I played this T-T
Regardless of the impurity of sexual content which I like af, the story itself was always fascinating me. At some point it gave me a sense of slice of life, heavy action, pure fantasy and it's story rich too. It always hypnotised me- the characters too are extremely unique too. It always felt like that everybody in this game are a different person. This will always be my top 1 favourite itch.io game.
Thank you for the kind words! Though I'm not a professional, it's always really wonderful to hear people resonating with the story and character writing!
Mr. SirIzike I hope it has portal rings amputation quadruple. While at same time being in latex hypnosis suit while being penis milking through process. with voice and little interactive animation. I hope is optional like in prowler. without dying without resetting game.
I played the game and I had fun. So many lovely game over screens.
Maybe you could add a thing for it? Also I love the latex.
However, I hate the desert section. Doesn't seem to function right.
If you're referring to a gallery for viewing the 'game over screens', there is one! You need to finish the main story to be able to view it however.
As for the desert, you need to make sure you're looking for shade, and you need to walk around in the shade to lower your temperature.
Look for shady canyons, caves, or even houses. And don't forget, you can always turn around and retreat to the last shelter you found if you can't see anything ahead.
I would also like to say, how much I HATE SLUGS. Especially that quest where I have to fight that massive dragon slug. Caused me great rage.
I hope there's an mobile version of this man, other games is just like this, no mobile supported
Will I live to see an update to this game？
As long as you don't plan on dying this year, yes!
Will you ever make this game paid access? And if so, Will you put it on Steam?
Perhaps, when GROVE has completed development, we will make a full paid access version for Steam. However this is not a guarantee.
How to increase the main character's corruption without leading to game over?
Will the game have an Android version in the future?
And one more thing, what else is the gummy slime strip used for, other than being a magician? And will the game still be free after the engine and design change?
The slime strip can be given to the Wizard, to trigger a scene later with the blacksmith. Keep an eye out for a green blob appearing at the blacksmith's forge.
How can I unlock all the scenes in the gallery when I complete the game but I'm missing some scenes and I don't know how to get them because and I need a guide for what part of the story they appear in to have the complete gallery please
😢
Each locked scene comes with a hint. Know that as long as you keep a save in the gallery, you can start a new game or return to older saves to unlock things you missed.
If you're really unsure how to find a particular scene, share what the hint message says and maybe somebody can help.
Hii I'm trying to join the discord, but somehow every single time I tried to verified I got kicked out for no reason... 🧍🏻♂️
Hey there. When joining our Discord we have a CAPTCHA in place to keep bots out. You should get a DM from said captcha bot, which you'll need to reply to.
If you haven't got that DM, you'll need to go into your Discord settings and 'allow direct messages from server members', then type /verify in our 'verification-chat' channel and it'll send you another one!
Hope this helps!
now that’s the thing the captcha thingy, when i send the verification captcha moment later i get kicked out randomly🧍🏼♂️
Omg nevermind I'm so dumb lmao 😭 I figured it out! Thanks! 💗 I enjoyed your game btw such a good game 🥺
there are bugs if you go to an dark area your frame will drop crazy and barely playable
I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH ><
Thank you!
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.
