Without knowing where exactly you are, I can only guess...
If you've accepted the task, you need to head to the blue slime forest. A new pathway has opened up for you to find. Follow the wooden boards.
As for dealing with the enemy up there... try using a careful mixture of the Resist and the Wait grapple skills. With good timing, and paying attention to the visuals, you might be able to deal a big chunk of damage.
I've really been enjoying this game so far. The story and characters are fun, and there's a crazy amount of detail in how many environmental objects can be examined. My only complaints are a couple of missing quality of life features. It would be nice to be able to change keybinds (for easier one-handed play lol), and I also wish there was an option to load saves without going to main menu. A skip dialogue button would be nice too for replaying sections (holding down the next button feels a little slow during longer sequences of dialogue).
Anyway, just wanna say again how much I like this game! Keep up the great work, looking forward to future updates.
Thanks kindly! Adding all sorts of things to be examined in the world is a lot of fun, and it's always nice to know when it's appreciated.
We'd like to make more quality of life tweaks to the game, but there's only so much we can do with RPG Maker. Nonetheless, I hope you'll continue to enjoy future updates.
I find Grove to be really a interesting game. It carries such charm I rarely find in games, it is very hot and sexual which I quite enjoy of course but it’s charm and the bits of comedy in between are setting it apart the moments of character development and interaction make it stand out from games with just cardboard fuck sticks only there for sexappeal even Grove who literally has not had dialogue we hear and is canonically on the silent side has a lot of charm and character in his love for carrots and silliness mixed in with serious swordsmen.
I am looking forward to any future update whenever they may come and while talking about updates I appreciate how you structure updates when 0.3 came out I was astounded how much content it had so the method of big but more irregular updates with that much content and quality is really amazing.
I mostly hope that in the future we are not just able to corrupt Grove himself but maybe also slightly pervert some of our allies.
Thanks a lot for the kind words! Hearing people praise the characters and the charm even over the sexual content is always super encouraging and lets us know we're not wasting our time in trying to include funny, charming and more characterful moments as well as the sexual content.
Future updates will come, and we'll try to continue making them fairly substantial in terms of content! Thank you for your patience, and for your praise.
It is undeniable that this is a great game, whether it is the protagonist 'grove''s past or the reasons for the changes in the north, it keeps people curious and looking forward to it.
With further exploration, there will be new companions and enemies, a mage companion with flame ability and methods to temporarily resist corruption? Rotten Vine Enemy? A box shaped enemy that imprisons people and corrupts them? Or perhaps there will be more pets, and this time they will not only follow you but also automatically participate in your battles! just like slim.
These are some immature ideas, and I will support you in both material and spiritual terms.
Commenting again cause I think I'm almost at the end of the game. THANK YOU FOR BEING SO CREATIVE on certain sections of the game. I love that it's not a repetitive hack and slash or fetch quest especially with
SPOILERS
moth man.
I just have one request and hope it gets heard. I'm sensing a relationship system everytime the screen turns white with certain dragons. Hear me out, hope mothman and spiderguy gets a cute redemption arc and make them less corrupted but still sexy D: then join the village. Make them romanceable plez. That is all my request. But so far, pretty awesome game!
Thanks a lot for playing, and all the kind words of encouragement an interest and praise for the game mechanics and characters! Makes us feel real glad when we see people latching on to the various characters, friend and foe alike.
And your suggestion is acknowledged. We don't comment on which suggestions we do and don't take, but thanks for caring enough to give one.
I LOVE THIS GAME! THIS IS THE SAME FEELING I GOT WHEN I WAS PLAYING ROBIN MORNINGWOOD ON BETA. I KNOW this has lots of potential, not only is it sexy but the lore, writing, and design is superb. I would love to see the day of its completion. Where do I donate to support other than this itch.io page?
PS, I love that it is actually challenging. And is it weird I'm getting Fear and Hunger vibes on the music and enemy movements? Lastly, I hope there's a way you can add a Load button on the menu for QoL. Thank you!
Thanks a lot for the kind words of praise across multiple aspects of our game! Means a great deal you'd consider it up there with some of the other greats in the space.
As for donations or support, itch.io is the place! We haven't got a Patreon or anything like that, so if you'd like to send any money, just hit that Download Now button :)
For some reason I can not think of who the person is that offers in the bat cave part or post it before the moth scene to have a fantastic night. Any help? I found everything else in the new build but this
Yo, are you maybe looking for someone to give the game a Portuguese/Brazilian translation? I've never really translated games before but, if you're interested I frankly wouldn't mind taking some off time to help with translation efforts. If you like the idea I might make a alt on discord so I can more easily come into contact. Thanks!
You're certainly welcome to give it a go, but... there's a LOT of text in the game to go through. If you're up for a big challenge, then please feel free to.
Most of the translation efforts use Translator++, with manual touch-ups to the machine translation's first pass. Give it a go, see how the workflow feels and how much effort and time it's going to take, and if you're up for the challenge.
Hello there, im not sure if the answer is very simple, but im not sure how to get the gooey skinsuit thing that i got during the slime smith fight, none of the slimed dragons seem to do the attack and once i beat the smith the fight ended and i imediately got transported back to the camp.
The slimed dragons will give it to you if they grapple you, and fully complete their grapple sequence. Just let 'em have their fun, and you'll be able to acquire it ;)
Heey, may I have a question? How can I increase my corruption level if I may ask? Also, I would really like a second part of this game, I haven't played it through, but I start to feel the melancholia dwelling in me. :( It's such a great game...
There'll be more updates in the future, don't worry!
As for corruption, there's many ways to acquire it. I don't want to spoil or list them all, but... it's things like stumbling into traps and making lewd choices or actions outside of direct combat. More or less anything raunchy you can get involved in that DOESN'T cause a game over.
Wow, I definitely did not expect this game to be filled with so much lore and awesome characters. You got me really curious about Grove's back story and his relationship to the antagonist. I can't wait to see what y'all will have in the next update!
Hopefully a whole bunch more of that which you enjoyed! Thanks a lot for playing and sharing the kind words! If you've got a few seconds, we'd massively appreciate you dropping a star-rating on the game too :)
I finished the game yesterday! It was amazing, you're doing a great job!! I didn't expect it, but there were a lot of adorable moments that made me laugh. I'm excited to see this hopefully completed one day. And I hope there'll be a comprehensive community made guide for things u can miss.
Thanks a lot for playing through, we greatly appreciate it and your kind words! Work is ongoing, and we certainly hope to finish this one day, but for now, thanks again for playing!
I can't get past the "Enable in-battle grapple voices?" screen. I'm on mac, I have the game on my desktop which is not synced with icloud. Both enable and disable gives me this error message;
Thanks for sharing the error message straight away, that's a big help.
It says "read-only" so it's possible you might not have extracted the game properly before running it, or placed it in an incompatible location. What you will need to do is extract the grove Zip, and then place it in the applications folder:
Right click the file you downloaded, use the archive utility to unzip the files, then drag the grove app into your applications folder. Hope that'll work!
I have several questions and I wanted to see if I could answer them: what are the green mansanas for, what is the moon dust for, how can you get more coffee beans and what is the unmarked key for?
pos data I love this game I've been following it for a long time.
Do you have any plans to port to Android or ios? I saw a comment talking about rpg maker earlier, are you still using it? If you don't have any plans to port, would you be willing to have someone else port it, to either platform?
And no, we'd certainly rather not have somebody else making a mobile port of it.
In the simplest of terms, it isn't really our unwillingness to make a mobile version of the game. It's that the mobile game emulators out there such as JoiPlay and MaldiVes either aren't compatible with some of the functions we use to make the game work, or are very non-performant.
Maybe in the future we will look into a way to make a version of the game that runs without the plugins and functions that conflict... but it's not very high on our list of interests due to how it'd require a lot of reworking and REMOVING of features, without breaking the game underneath.
Thank you for the response. I'm not very well versed in rpg maker, but from what I've gleaned so far, do the plug-ins and features you're using make so you're unable to deploy to Android normally? Or is it just the version of it you're using? Please let me know if you don't want to talk about this but I'm interested in what it would take to get it to Android, even if I have to program my own emulator or compatibility layer to do it. I know if it was easy you'd have already done it. I've been meaning to try and give myself the push to try and do something like this for a while. I've been a fan of Grove since near the beginning, and I want to help in any way I can.
The plug-ins we use do not stop the game from being used on pre-existing emulators like JoiPlay... they just don't work with it correctly, resulting in various visual glitches such as completely invisible levels.
So, as I mentioned, the game could be deployed to Android, but it'd have issues that would make it far from optimal to play.
We wouldn't stop you if you wanted to try and figure out a way to make it work though, and that's certainly ambitious of you to want to try. However, this isn't something that I have any degree of knowledge on myself, so we wouldn't really be able to offer any assistance in the matter.
Does unlocking cutscenes apply to all saves? So if I was missing one or two, I could start a new save or use an old save to get that missing cutscene, and have that apply to my endgame save with the gallery?
Also, typo in red slime caverns: unlaid->inlaid with golden gilding
What is the reward for winning the 5 coin flips? I want to know if it's worth it to continue save scumming and doing it over and over (at around two hours worth of flipping and save scumming currently).

why so dark ?? how can see it ?? so dark
This is why it says "THIS GAME IS NOT SUPPORTED FOR MOBILE EMULATION! THERE ARE MULTIPLE VISUAL ERRORS!"
😭😭😭😭
When Playing GROVE using JoiPlay...
Try holding down the GROVE game icon, Select "Edit Plugins", then disable YEP_GridFreeDoodads & YEP_X_ExtDoodadPack1
Does it have another playable character feature?
No, just one character is playable.
Grove's love for carrots brightens my day. Keep up the great work devs!!! You're killing it with this game!!!
Thank you very much!
im on a cromebook which one do i download
You'll want to use the Linux version. Here's some instructions if you're new to launching games with Linux.
- Extract the downloaded archive into it’s own folder one it has completed, then open that folder
- There should be a tab at the top of the folder viewer that says GROVE V0.308 Linux. Click on the dropdown arrow for its tab.
- Click on "open in terminal".
Once the terminal opens, type
./GROVE.sh
Then Click Enter
- The terminal will do its thing, wait a few moments, and then the game should launch!
How do I extract it?
...can't you just right-click on the folder that you downloaded and click an option that says "extract all" or something to that effect?
How can I complete the "orange task"?
Without knowing where exactly you are, I can only guess...
If you've accepted the task, you need to head to the blue slime forest. A new pathway has opened up for you to find. Follow the wooden boards.
As for dealing with the enemy up there... try using a careful mixture of the Resist and the Wait grapple skills. With good timing, and paying attention to the visuals, you might be able to deal a big chunk of damage.

I so want to play it but it game not hv Android can download, so sad 😢😢😢
Update 0.4, is it coming out this year or just next year?
I've been following Grover since the first version and I still haven't regretted it.
Hopefully this year, yeah! We're loosely aiming for a yearly release!
If it has the same quality as V0.3, we can wait with pleasure.
I find Grove to be really a interesting game.
It carries such charm I rarely find in games, it is very hot and sexual which I quite enjoy of course but it’s charm and the bits of comedy in between are setting it apart the moments of character development and interaction make it stand out from games with just cardboard fuck sticks only there for sexappeal even Grove who literally has not had dialogue we hear and is canonically on the silent side has a lot of charm and character in his love for carrots and silliness mixed in with serious swordsmen.

hey there! i know imma sound dumb when i say dis but may i get a hint at where da well gate is?
The well gate is to the south of the Quiet Meadow Inn. Go all the way south, and then turn east / right at the junction. That's where the well is.
It is undeniable that this is a great game, whether it is the protagonist 'grove''s past or the reasons for the changes in the north, it keeps people curious and looking forward to it.
With further exploration, there will be new companions and enemies, a mage companion with flame ability and methods to temporarily resist corruption? Rotten Vine Enemy?

And your suggestion is acknowledged. We don't comment on which suggestions we do and don't take, but thanks for caring enough to give one.
When I first downloaded this game, after looking at the screenshots and seeing the version number, I expected it to be a short demo of sorts.
Instead of that I got a staggering amount of content - it's hard to believe all this quality entertainment is available under "name your own price"!
Thank you!
Thank you for playing, and the kind praise! Donations are indeed welcomed, but entirely optional of course!

Is there any posible way to play this on mobile?
MaldiVes works but has poor performance. JoiPlay works but has visual errors due to not supporting some systems we use.
I've heard the paid version of JoiPlay works better. That can be found through their Patreon.
Ohhh well isnt it the kind of game where u can click and play like the usuall menu at the start?
Nope. The game requires an emulator to be played properly on mobile. And like I said, the emulators are both flawed choices.
Like it says on this page, in bold text: "
THIS GAME IS NOT SUPPORTED FOR MOBILE EMULATION! THERE ARE MULTIPLE VISUAL ERRORS!"
oop okie
For some reason I can not think of who the person is that offers in the bat cave part or post it before the moth scene to have a fantastic night. Any help? I found everything else in the new build but this
When you reach the room with the purple mineral, a bat will appear and close a gate. Talk to him and accept his offer.
Man am I dumb. I replayed it but thought it was one of the prisoned bats after I blow up the gate

My favourite NSFW RPG <3 Keep up the good work! And thank you <3
Thank YOU for the kind comment!
Where do I find the room with the animals I've already defeated
If you mean the gallery, that's unlocked when you complete all of the story content.
Friend, I have a problem when I press a type of red button, but I don't know where I'm going now, can you help me?

I keep coming back to revisit the game, it's always a pleasure, pun intended.
Thank you kindly~! Glad you're continuing to enjoy things as much on repeat play sessions!
I have several questions and I wanted to see if I could answer them: what are the green mansanas for, what is the moon dust for, how can you get more coffee beans and what is the unmarked key for?
pos data I love this game I've been following it for a long time.
Thanks for the kind words!
The green apples are a collectable item. Find all 10 of them and you'll win a vanity prize.
The moon dust can be used in the Synthesis Cauldron to make an item.
You can buy more coffee beans at the Inn.
The unmarked key currently doesn't have a use... yet.
Great game! Really had a lot of fun playing this:)
And I'm curious what is the language the brown desert lizard commander speaks? Is it a real language, or an artificial language created by you?
Thanks for playing, and for the kind words!
The language he speaks isn't a real language, just something I made up. It IS decipherable though, it's not just gibberish.
hey,I was wondering what was so special about the regulation plate base I can’t seem to equip it and was wondering what it’s for
Go give it to the blacksmith when he's at the forge and he'll make it into a proper set for you.
will there be any more feral scenes like the one with the red draconic slime mimic? asking for a friend
Sorry, we don't comment on stuff like this ahead of time. You'll just have to wait and see.
好喜欢这个游戏qwq
谢谢
Do you have any plans to port to Android or ios? I saw a comment talking about rpg maker earlier, are you still using it? If you don't have any plans to port, would you be willing to have someone else port it, to either platform?

实际上我比较想知道为什么“闪电三重斩”的特效实际上是四次斩击
Can this game play in joiplay?
You CAN play it in Joiplay, but there are visual bugs and problems with the free version of Joiplay emulation which means we do not endorse it.
Thank for replying
Will there be more sex scenes or story,quest and side missions??
We will add more of all of these things in future updates, of course.
That good to hear can't wait to see it
Where can I download v0.204?
You can download it right here. Just hit the "download now" button and it'll be at the bottom of the list of files.
I was able to download it successfully.
Thank you very much for your help!
Does unlocking cutscenes apply to all saves? So if I was missing one or two, I could start a new save or use an old save to get that missing cutscene, and have that apply to my endgame save with the gallery?
Also, typo in red slime caverns: unlaid->inlaid with golden gilding
Regarding the saves, you're absolutely correct. Feel free to jump back to old saves or a new game and grab those gallery scenes you're missing.
What is the reward for winning the 5 coin flips? I want to know if it's worth it to continue save scumming and doing it over and over (at around two hours worth of flipping and save scumming currently).
It's a vanity item, something you can consider to be "extra completion" for the game.
Thanks! I think I'll wait to continue trying for it until there's more in the game.
I love the "voice" sfx for all the people: weh wah waaaah wooooh wiiiiiihhh
Heh, glad you do! Just some silly "woop" sounds to add a little bit of character.
