1.) Is this game still being developed? Saw the Dev was working on a new game (Prowler) and wondering if I should stop holding my breath. Hope not. Really like Grove so far.
2.) Is there any way moving forward that the sex wouldn't be a punishment for the player? I feel like I'm being punished for getting better at the game as I go along. Grove is actually better than most Adult games in this regard with the grapple system, but I would love to go "further" without "failing", you know?
This game is still being developed, yes! We're jumping between Prowler and Grove, and we've learned a lot of things that can help improve Grove through developing Prowler. We do hope you'll give Prowler a try when the update comes out though, if only to see what mechanics and things you might enjoy and so we can get a sense of the things to bring across to Grove.
As for sex being less of a punishment for the player, we understand what you mean and it's what stirred the initial idea of our grapple system. As for more ways... we have some ideas, but making them work with Grove's actual character and personality, and trying not to like... double our workload are considerations too. But at the very least I can say it's something we definitely do think about!
It's great to hear this game is still in development. And I understand the second bit might have been asking for more than I should. You've already done a great job with it.
Loved the game so much and impatiently waiting for the continuation! I got one question tho, when I have finished the game and unlocked the gallery, are all the chests that contain scenes should be "unlocked"? Some chests don't show me scenes but show sayings that I think are hints where I can find them. Is that so or it's just incompleted scenes? Thank you.
The chests with hints can be unlocked, their scenes are complete! You need to find them in the main game using the hints. You can use older saves to go back and get them if you need to.
I am in a location Slug cave - the underworld . On the quest “lost and found.”
I have examined the chest and armor. In both cases defeated the purple dragons. Approached the plants on the right side of the map. And tried to beat them, but no results.
I finished playing GROVE (with a taste for more) yesterday and I have to say at the moment I loved every piece of content it offers, I'm really looking forward to seeing this finished work.
Keep up the good work and take your time, good things must have their development time.
Thanks very much for both the encouragement and the patience! It's greatly appreciated, and we're super glad you enjoyed the content as much as you did!
Hoi Hoi, I had a question. So I’m making my own rpg with a lust system in it too. I was wondering how I would put it into my game. I’m making it as an rpg. I’m using rpg maker mz.
Mostly asking the grove developers since it looks like they use rpg maker
Heya, not sure what you mean by lust system, the term is quite vague and Grove doesn’t really have a ‘proper’ lust system
One way is to just use one variable to control lust and another to set the lust maximum cap. When increasing lust have a conditional to check if the current lust is higher than the cap or specific thresholds and if yes, apply your effects.
oh I meant like how grove gets aroused during certain battles. Like the dream sequence. And ok how would I go about making the variables. Or if you want I can look up how to make those in rpg maker.
Thank you for the offer. There's a lot of writing in the game so it's a big task, but if you want to give it a try, have a look into "translator++" software.
Thanks for playing our game! We're glad you enjoyed it so thoroughly!
For making translations, you'll need software like translator++. You should know there's a LOT of writing in the game though so don't feel obligated to try if it's overwhelming.
absolutly amazing game and so much fun but I'm having real problem with the jumping stones in the jungle areas I can't seem to consistently jump over the plants am I missing a trick here or is it just a skill issue?
are there more stories left after finishing all of the assignments in Auxiliary hall? ive finished all of those, but still if i check the current tasks in room 102, it is shown as i should complete the hall assignments.
Have you done all of the assignments both upstairs and downstairs?
If you've done them all, the next thing you need to do is at night time. Use a HOT Coffee bean at the Inn, then explore around the campsite. You should be able to find something going on at the windmill...
Very charming! Can't wait for Dark Places Part 2. I've loved the general pacing of the game and I loved doing the quests/mini-quests at the Adventurer's Guild (Hopefully that's the name-) and I found the combat quite enjoyable with it not being just 'Mash Z to win'.
Keep up what you're doing!(Needs more gay dragons though.)
!! Harmful Bug !! I love this game but it has always caused me trouble booting up (on Mac), crashing at random points of the load screen. When I re-downloaded it recently, it booted up fine. But a week after quitting the application I got a pop up saying I've run out of memory space. I opened the activity monitor and nwjs was still running trying to boot up grove and failing, hogging 3GB of memory. It pisses me off that it was kept running for so long without me noticing. I'm trying to make my mac battery last this time :/
Thank you very much for the bug report. We've been having instances of people struggling to get the game to open on MacOS lately and it seems that "nwjs" not closing properly might be the root cause.
Unfortunately we're not entirely sure WHY it's doing that, since it isn't a program we have any hand in... we're going to do our best to look into it, but for now, we're very grateful you brought this to our attention so we can at least hopefully work on it and warn others.
I don't think I have ever played a game quite like Grove. This game's story, characters, humor and even atmosphere are seriously better than some triple A games! Its implemention of rpg combat mechanics to build a smooth turn-based combat system with NSFW elements works excellently and I love the resource management part of exploration with things like managing your armor pieces and your stamina. Grove is truly a beautiful experience at all times whether it's being SFW or NSFW! I've actually been trying to get all the chests in the gallery and there's just one remaining chest that I can't seem to unlock, it's the one behind the hulking bat that says "Trapped, with seemingly no way out... a resident offers you an enticing, sensual deal." Could someone please tell me how to unlock this chest?
Thank you and congratulations to the developers for this amazing game and I'm looking forward to further updates!
Thank you very much for all your kind compliments on our game! Knowing that Grove can come across as both very enjoyable AND unique means a lot to us, as we definitely strived hard to push RPG Maker in ways we've never quite seen done before.
As for your missing chest, you'll need to use a save to return to the mine full of bats. When you get to the area with the pink crystals, a bat will close a gate and lock you in. Go and talk to the bat and accept his offer.
Thanks for wanting to play our game through to completion, and for the very kind review!
Wow, this game is a great experience. The art, the lore, every little detail. This is the perfect gay rpg style game and nothing can change my mind - i love what you did with all the puzzles and different kinds of fighting along the gameplay, made the game so much more interesting (not to mention the characters personalities and design, because oh la la). I thank the development team for this masterpiece, i'm looking forward to play future releases :). PS: i didn't even had an itch.io account before i decided to leave a comment because of the final message in the game, YOU GUYS DESERVE ALL THE SUPPORT! God, i got here by recommendation and i will DEFINITELY pass it on.
Whoa, thanks so much for the overwhelmingly positive comment, truly! It means a great deal to us to have people enjoying out game, and we're humbled you wanted to make an account just to comment here.
Word of mouth and donations help us greatly, so thank you very much for passing word along.
Hi, I absolutely LOVED the game, I can't explain how much I enjoyed the slime scenes. I'm really really looking forward to the future updates!
I had a question about the gallery feature; I've noticed I have one scene left that hasn't been unlocked yet, and was wondering if it becomes accessible if I somehow managed to find it in an older save file. I presume game over scenes become unlocked no matter the save file it happens in (because it's virtually impossible to "Save" after ending up in one), but does that apply to other scenes (which don't end up in a game over) as well?
The locked scene I'm curious about is the blue treasure chest located in the very far right gallery. I would appreciate it if you could give me an answer. Thanks! :)
Since we move the gallery around quite a bit during development, I can't really remember what scene that chest is through just its position. If you share the hint that comes with it, maybe we can help.
Buuuuuuut, otherwise, you're in luck! You can indeed go back to an old save to add gallery scenes you missed! So if you've saved relatively often you should hopefully be able to go back and get whatever you missed!
Otherwise, thank you very much for the compliments and kind words on the game! We're glad to know you enjoyed it so much you intend to 100% it!
I apologize for the ambiguous wording; I wasn't on my PC when I sent the reply.
The hint says: "You leave the bandit hideout, but with a souvenir in tow... You decide to leave this with another, until they have the necessary tools and amount of time to repair it."
OK, this one is a bit complicated, and there's two ways of doing it. The first way is to revert to a save back at the Bandit's Lair when the Bandits are still around. You need to get captured by them, escape from your cell, and re-equip your clothes. You'll get an item when you re-equip your clothes, and you can give that item to the Blacksmith, who will make it into some armour for you later.
The second way of unlocking this scene is by using the Synthesis Cauldron at the Inn in order to create the latex straps. You'll need a few materials to create it, one of which can be found in the slug caverns and from defeating slugs, and the other in the desert from fighting 'shambling mirages'. If you don't have the Synthesis Cauldron, you need to find it from a special merchant. You'll need to head back into the Slug Den in the Jungle, and follow the path through until it emerges back outside again, where you'll find a tent. If you need more clues, let me know.
Otherwise, good luck with hunting down this final scene!
Just a Great game and everything that's about to come, i just finish the game at the current version 0.308. I just finished it and i'm imagining how in the future i'm going to make a torch to see again the insect friend I made after the battle, to see how is he doing, haha! I never comment on any games because I didn't feel appasionate about commenting due to none of these games got hard on me, they are never long enough or the story isn't as good as I imagined. I finally found the game where I felt really integrated and really excited to keep playing and see how to story progresses. I love how you, or the developers got involved in the game and got the perfect balance with corruption, history... and all the aspects that the game has. I'm definetly going to follow both "grove" and "prowler" games. And has a future developer for software (still studying bruh :p) I see the love you guys put onto the game and that's where it hits me the hardest (on a possitive way), where the love put onto any game, catches me and that wants me to start new things and continue doing great things. There are mant aspects that I want to comment on, but I won't since you don't want to spend so much time reading this, like the fact that you guys made a gallery section that most games don't do... Keep up the good work :3, still going to comment and talk about this game in the future, I promise.
Thank you very much for playing our game, and for the long and kind comment! We're happy and humbled to hear such overarching praise for the game and all its features, and we hope that you can enjoy future updates for both Prowler and Grove just as much!
Always a great compliment to know our game can be inspirational, too! Good luck with your own work, and thank you again for your kind comment!
Heyo! I've been playing this game since one of the earlier releases and it thoroughly impressed me for the incredible story and unforgettable characters, especially Grove himself, it made me laugh the first time he spoke to the mercenaries and everyone was surprised to hear him speak. Both normal enemies and bosses have a different and appealing design, my favourite so far is the imp (from the dream section) and unsurprisingly my corruption level is around 20. Proudly wearing the skimpy outfit I completed the game so far and can't wait for what's next. I'm also keeping an eye open for "prowler". Best of luck and thank you for developing an amazing game.
Thank you very much for playing our game, and for the high praise! It's greatly appreciated, and it's always good to know folks are really enjoying their experiences with our kinky content.
Hope you'll continue to like what's to come in the future for both GROVE and Prowler!
They're in the slime forest. Follow a path to a clearing, and find a shimmering spot in the grass. If you reach the big green slime puddle, you've gone too far to the right.
In the jungle, in the tunnels where you fight the red slugs and slug golem. There is a pathway that leads to a ladder, which will eventually arrive at Bizz.
This might be a dumb question but uh, where do you find that "cursed latex underwear"? idk if i accidently skipped it, but i already passed the place where we save the swordsmith.
I think it would be nice to add some more synergies and strategies to the combat system, like a stun build, or something to combo with bleeding (because artery stab is not really good in my opinion).
I'm enjoying the game, but I want to ask what the dreams are about. they are clearly telling a story that continues the more corrupt you are, but I haven't seen any new ones in a while. Also, will there be a new build anytime soon? Finally, do you have a patreon? I'd love to support the work.
We don't have a Patreon, but we'd greatly welcome any donations through itch.io here. You can hit the 'Download Now' button and make a donation through there, no need to actually download the game again.
Thanks for the praise and hope you continue to enjoy our game! There's more dreams to be found later in the game as you progress through the story.
I think I found a bug? So I went to give Wizz my inert black underwear, but also before that, I made Grove eat the fruit in the farm. So now, it is playing both the Wizz Inert Underwear cutscene and Grove masturbation scene at the same time.
I found the game by chance browsing. It turned out to be one of the nicest games I ever played!
I simply love seeing Grove being violated by monsters and also the story is fascinating and captivating!
I hope there will be more to play and more to see soon!
I got a little bit disappointed by the grapple mechanics, especially the "present yourself" one because you get rid permanently of your armour. I get it's normal if monster rip it off from you, but it felt a little too punishing if I decided to undress willingly.
Also I found it very difficult to try to win combats by "whoring" myself. In my first try I thought it was possible, but I soon found that you'd lost most of the times, especially because of TP generation and regeneration while in a grapple.
By the way, it is a overall really gooooooood game!
Thank you for the kind praise! We're still working on the game in the background. Glad to hear you enjoyed your time with it overall, and thanks for the feedback.
Hello, please tell me how to get into the passage that is indicated on the screenshot, otherwise the character does not want to go down there, but only describes this passage
I am a little bit confused about the clue for the other purple chest... "You find yourself entering the west path... and after pestering a newcomer and his tent. Suddenly, your corruption flares up...", At who point in the story can this be achieved?

I'll have to give prowler a try.

The chests with hints can be unlocked, their scenes are complete! You need to find them in the main game using the hints. You can use older saves to go back and get them if you need to.
Good luck with going for 100%!
Room for future expansion.
I am in a location Slug cave - the underworld . On the quest “lost and found.”
I have examined the chest and armor. In both cases defeated the purple dragons. Approached the plants on the right side of the map. And tried to beat them, but no results.
Can you please tell me what to do next?
You need to approach the pile of wood on the left. You'll make an item, which can then be used to pass the plants on the right.
I finished playing GROVE (with a taste for more) yesterday and I have to say at the moment I loved every piece of content it offers, I'm really looking forward to seeing this finished work.

If you need someone to help translating this game to Korean I’d be happy to help! I’d love to see this game in my language~
Thank you for the offer. There's a lot of writing in the game so it's a big task, but if you want to give it a try, have a look into "translator++" software.
Adding slimes that force themselves down your gullet and slowly corrupt you from the inside out would be pretty cool
Just recently playing it and ohmygod I love it, like seriously! Well crafted, easy to understand combat system, niche kinks, and graphics are 10/10 :)
And whilst playing it I was thinking, can I make cz language version? If so, how should I start?
Thanks for playing our game! We're glad you enjoyed it so thoroughly!
For making translations, you'll need software like translator++. You should know there's a LOT of writing in the game though so don't feel obligated to try if it's overwhelming.
absolutly amazing game and so much fun but I'm having real problem with the jumping stones in the jungle areas I can't seem to consistently jump over the plants am I missing a trick here or is it just a skill issue?
There's a trick to it. Just observe the plants. See how they move up and down? You need to jump when they're down, under the water.
Hope that helps you progress and continue to enjoy our game!
When can it be updated? I can't wait any longer
Sorry, we don't have a date yet.
There will be an update for our second game soon. It is called Prowler. Maybe you would enjoy playing it whilst waiting for Grove.
what a pity!
This game has no right being "free" for how much content there is, so I donated. Excellent work from everyone who worked on this!
PS More slimes and plant latchers in the update? O.O
Thanks very much for the kind words and generous donation! We really appreciate that, truly~
Can't spoil content for upcoming updates, but we'll do our best to make it something enjoyable!
Are there any enemy defeat scenes? And is there a way to surrender?
Uh... yes. And not specifically 'surrender' but plenty of ways to give up in combat and let enemies have fun with you.
No offence but did you actually try the game before asking these questions? These things are PRETTY apparent within a few minutes of starting.
Yeah i played a bit before sorry for asking something pretty obvious been a while since i last had played
Game so good it made me realize I was bisexual 👍
Well alright then! You're welcome, I think?
are there more stories left after finishing all of the assignments in Auxiliary hall? ive finished all of those, but still if i check the current tasks in room 102, it is shown as i should complete the hall assignments.
Have you done all of the assignments both upstairs and downstairs?
If you've done them all, the next thing you need to do is at night time. Use a HOT Coffee bean at the Inn, then explore around the campsite. You should be able to find something going on at the windmill...

Keep up what you're doing!
(Needs more gay dragons though.)Thanks for the kind words! It's nice to hear some direct compliments on the exploratory nature and pacing of the game, and not just the lewd stuff!
정말 죄송하지만 북쪽 다리 캠프에서 다음 캠프로 이동하는 방법을 모르겠습니다.
괜찮으시다면 알려주실 수 있나요?
Return to the Inn.
Walk directly downwards until you bump into the trees.
Then walk to the left until you reach the cliffside.
There is a new pathway to the south. Follow it to continue the game.

thank you! I like your game
Thank you!
I'm sorry to ask you again, but Delivery undelivered
Blocked in the middle of questing....
Can you tell me what to do..?
I'm so sorry...
Additionally, I don't even know how to proceed in a cyber world that went in without killing King Bandit...
In your Inventory, in your Key Items, will be items you need to deliver.
They will have a 'star' marking next to them, and a description of who to deliver, and where they can be found.
I hope you can understand the game through translation. Good luck with the deliveries.
!! Harmful Bug !!
I love this game but it has always caused me trouble booting up (on Mac), crashing at random points of the load screen. When I re-downloaded it recently, it booted up fine.

my character won't move after the hot bean scene I'm on mobile playing it on joiplay app

Thanks for the reply!
I'm happy to hear that old save files work. The chest in question is about escaping the hideout with a loot or something?
Could you type out exactly what the hint says, please? I just want to make sure I'm not misguiding you.
I apologize for the ambiguous wording; I wasn't on my PC when I sent the reply.
The hint says: "You leave the bandit hideout, but with a souvenir in tow... You decide to leave this with another, until they have the necessary tools and amount of time to repair it."
No worries, thanks for clarifying.
OK, this one is a bit complicated, and there's two ways of doing it.

The second way of unlocking this scene is by using the Synthesis Cauldron at the Inn in order to create the latex straps. You'll need a few materials to create it, one of which can be found in the slug caverns and from defeating slugs, and the other in the desert from fighting 'shambling mirages'.

Otherwise, good luck with hunting down this final scene!
I really don't know if I'm really stupid or I just don't understand how to move forward here.
I've tried everything, friend in the end, even in another save I gave myself the entire inventory and nothing remains the same
Go back to the Inn, go to your room, to to the wardrobe, and put on the Dust Covers (the orange crystal).
Cute drakes, horny monsters, interesting worldbuilding lore and hot porn
Glad to hear we seemingly checked all your boxes!
Just a Great game and everything that's about to come, i just finish the game at the current version 0.308.

Always a great compliment to know our game can be inspirational, too! Good luck with your own work, and thank you again for your kind comment!
Heyo! I've been playing this game since one of the earlier releases and it thoroughly impressed me for the incredible story and unforgettable characters, especially Grove himself, it made me laugh the first time he spoke to the mercenaries and everyone was surprised to hear him speak. Both normal enemies and bosses have a different and appealing design, my favourite so far is the imp (from the dream section) and unsurprisingly my corruption level is around 20. Proudly wearing the skimpy outfit I completed the game so far and can't wait for what's next. I'm also keeping an eye open for "prowler". Best of luck and thank you for developing an amazing game.
Thank you very much for playing our game, and for the high praise! It's greatly appreciated, and it's always good to know folks are really enjoying their experiences with our kinky content.
Hope you'll continue to like what's to come in the future for both GROVE and Prowler!
Hi I can’t find the fruits for the first task please a need help
They're in the slime forest. Follow a path to a clearing, and find a shimmering spot in the grass. If you reach the big green slime puddle, you've gone too far to the right.
Hello, please help me how do I get to Bizii
In the jungle, in the tunnels where you fight the red slugs and slug golem. There is a pathway that leads to a ladder, which will eventually arrive at Bizz.
Thanks a lot :3
This might be a dumb question but uh, where do you find that "cursed latex underwear"? idk if i accidently skipped it, but i already passed the place where we save the swordsmith.
Sounds like you missed it, I'm afraid. When you're in the slime forest, you need to save the blue dragon. You'll get the underwear after saving him.
can you show me a screenshot of where i need to save him, please?
It's... really not hard. There's only two paths to take through the forest. You can figure it out I'm sure.
If you're really struggling, I'll say this: if you reached the big green slime puddle, you've gone too far.
I think it would be nice to add some more synergies and strategies to the combat system, like a stun build, or something to combo with bleeding (because artery stab is not really good in my opinion).
We'll try to add more strategies to combat as we continue development, of course!
I'm enjoying the game, but I want to ask what the dreams are about. they are clearly telling a story that continues the more corrupt you are, but I haven't seen any new ones in a while. Also, will there be a new build anytime soon? Finally, do you have a patreon? I'd love to support the work.
We don't have a Patreon, but we'd greatly welcome any donations through itch.io here. You can hit the 'Download Now' button and make a donation through there, no need to actually download the game again.
Thanks for the praise and hope you continue to enjoy our game! There's more dreams to be found later in the game as you progress through the story.
I think I found a bug?
So I went to give Wizz my inert black underwear, but also before that, I made Grove eat the fruit in the farm. So now, it is playing both the Wizz Inert Underwear cutscene and Grove masturbation scene at the same time.
It's a known bug, but we decided not to fix it since people have had fun with it, haha.
So, it's not a bug. It's a feature :)
I found the game by chance browsing. It turned out to be one of the nicest games I ever played!
I simply love seeing Grove being violated by monsters and also the story is fascinating and captivating!
I hope there will be more to play and more to see soon!
I got a little bit disappointed by the grapple mechanics, especially the "present yourself" one because you get rid permanently of your armour. I get it's normal if monster rip it off from you, but it felt a little too punishing if I decided to undress willingly.
Also I found it very difficult to try to win combats by "whoring" myself. In my first try I thought it was possible, but I soon found that you'd lost most of the times, especially because of TP generation and regeneration while in a grapple.
By the way, it is a overall really gooooooood game!
Can't wait to see new content!
Thank you for the kind praise! We're still working on the game in the background. Glad to hear you enjoyed your time with it overall, and thanks for the feedback.
Hello, please tell me how to get into the passage that is indicated on the screenshot, otherwise the character does not want to go down there, but only describes this passage
That passage is where Grove comes out in a later quest, he can't get in since its inaccessible until meeting later story requirements
i lost my saves ;c
Did you make sure to extract the game after downloading it? If you didn't, then your saves won't stay since the folder is 'write-only'.
I am a little bit confused about the clue for the other purple chest... "You find yourself entering the west path... and after pestering a newcomer and his tent. Suddenly, your corruption flares up...", At who point in the story can this be achieved?
This can be achieved after the Auxilliary Commander arrives at the campsite, until his house / office building has finished being made.
You need at least 10 corruption points to be able to trigger the scene, by interacting with his tent repeatedly.
Thank you
