I wanna play this game so bad but I don't have any non android device. Is it possible that this game will be available for android users in the future?
Unlikely, given that the game uses several plugins that don't work with Android emulation. The game would be missing features and visuals and would be a fairly gimped product...
But I won't say never. We might figure a way around it. But I really can't make any promises.
I adore this game. The art is fantastic, the mix of sketches and coloured, lined pieces actually works really well! The story is even more fun- this was the first of these games where I actually prioritized the story over the fun CGs because I was just too engaged. I desperately want to have more encounters with the bandit captain and romance some of the friends we've met so far. I also just want to know more about the story! It's a great premise and I adore how you execute it because it really feels like the world and your character have their own stories. I can't wait for more!
Thanks a lot for the big, kind comment! It's always a pleasure to see people who enjoy the story and the characters, as well as all the lewd stuff going on. Glad you like the mixture of art styles too, even if not every scene is fully rendered out.
More will come in the future, more characters, more relationship building, and maybe the return of a few people as well... hope you'll enjoy it, when it arrives! No date yet, but I can assure you it's being worked on!
Goddamn, I absolutely love games like this. Beautiful NSFW M/M games with some lovely game overs. Gladly lost once to practically every single enemy I have faced and not regretted it once. Honestly only have one question and tried to see if anybody asked or the details were in the change logs but, I was wondering if anything happens if I leave Kuno to the slimes early on and make it to the abandoned bar. Is his just completely gone, do they save him, or do you encounter him again but, corrupted?
I'll simply say that the game takes into consideration what might happen if you leave Kuno behind in the forest, and make it to the abandoned bar. If you wanna know exactly what happens... you can try it yourself some time :P
Otherwise though, thank you very much for the kind compliments towards our game! Glad you enjoyed it so much, and thanks for playing it through as comprehensively as you did!
so im having a problem where my game freezes when i attempt to use my grapple moves any ideas how to fix that? wonder if something was wrong when i downloaded it for windows
Greetings. I want to say that you are making a wonderful game, with a lot of content, I hope that you will eventually finish it. And I would like to ask a couple of questions. Will there be any add-ons (DLC) after the end of the development of the game? Are you going to make a new game when you're done with this one? Well, how could it be without this question, if there are any suggestions when the next update will be released. If this question about updates has already bothered you, then I'm sorry =)
When the game is complete, we might make some add-ons or "special episodes" featuring other characters, yes! We have some ideas and some interest in that!
I can't say about an entirely new game, though. That's so far in the future, we haven't really thought about that yet.
We don't have any estimate for the next update, I'm afraid. But do feel free to follow RegalBuster on Twitter or join the Discord and you'll see development updates and notifications when we are close to release!
Yeah, the game is in something of an alpha state right now. I'd say we have about... 40% of the overall content and story we want to include in the overall game?
Glad you seem to think it's a good and impressive amount of content though!
I've gotten to the data place in the dunes with the swapping bridges but the long keeps changing to fast even when i start moving through the moment it changes to blue i still keep getting caught even worse is that it keeps sending me all the way back to the beginning is there anything i can do to actually get past it?
Your goal is in the top-right (North East) of the area. When your heat exposure is getting too high, look for dark and shady areas. Make sure to walk around a bit in the shady areas, until Grove is cool once again.
When i got into the corrupted forest camp site im really close to getting to that weird statue but the last slime is stupid fast. how do i get past it?
I need help, how do I remove the Plant Latchers from my body? I can't even go to camp because it won't let me leave the area until I've killed all the Latchers, but as soon as I attack one, they just jump on my body leading me to a Game Over without being able to do anything.
You have to "bath" in the pond. Go back to previous location where the forest is thick and "shadowy". the pond at top left maps when Kuno waiting for you before
Did you remember the black clothers you get from Ranger ? Wear it ,and you can open the door. But it will lead to a longer story line ; highly recommend you to save the game before make your decision(if you wear the clothes in front of Ranger, you will see a funny reaction from him ; ) )
awesome work there, i finished the entyre game in mode i wanted all the good stuff, took me arround 2 weeks but worth it, just small doub, the door inside the tabernt in the north bridge camp is locked how i unlok it???? or is under construcction too???
Loving the game so far. I wasn't expecting much given how games like this tend to be put out without any chance of getting finished, but this looks really promising. Sex scenes are hot and frequent, but avoidable, nothing too nasty, no offensive material, and the writing is pretty decent.
Thanks for the overall positive review, I'm glad our game could subvert your negative first impression (one we're very aware of ourselves, don't worry) and that you could end up enjoying what you saw and being eager for more!
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! This game is AWESOME! I really like the concept of "when you defeated" you.. lose.... not only lose and retry after that. but you get something extra for losing..😳every time I encounter new enemy. I always submit. HAHAHA HELP The battle system also has 2 types. 1 normal and 1 naughty. YOU CAN FIGHT IN HORNY STATE! I LOVE IT!
First impression of this game, I don't really like the "sketch" style of the cutscene. but When I losing to the slime.. I just realized that my first impression was wrong. The CG have many angle / have continuation of what happened. THAT WORTH OF QUANTITY OVER QUALITY. Because VN game usually use great CG quality, and only use 1 / 2 Variation, but this game is different. I really like it. if you want to "improve" your CG, Please do not reduce the amount of CG, keep it like that. But maybe you can use high quality CG for 1 or 2 Very important scene / chars sprite.
and Tentacle, Rape kinks. Perfect. No more question, my desire fulfilled.
Mini events / Hidden contraction like "chest slime" it's very good and interesting. which brings "exploration" aspect a little more excited~
Unfortunately this game doesn't have a patreon / something like that, so my only choice is to donate via itch.io. I really want to support you in continuing to update this Awesome game.
Your kind comments and one-time donations are already greatly appreciated, and seeing people enjoying the game and eager for more supports us greatly!
I'm glad that you managed to enjoy the looser and sketchy style of the CG scenes. That's the way we plan to keep going with them, alongside some higher quality images when there are more important scenes, yes!
Thanks again for your long and kind comment, and hope you enjoy our future updates for the game!
I would love to be able to support you in some way, but I have no methods to give you money 👀...
The game has been better than I expected, I really enjoyed it a lot and look forward to a future update! Thank you for creating such a wonderful piece of Game!
(i just finished to play the game, I never thought I'd get so attached to an NSFW game)
Thank you very much for your kind words and offer of support! If you can't use itch.io's payment services or the direct PayPal link in your country, that's completely fine, and we greatly welcome your kind words and praise! :)
After the release of Elden Ring this is now my personal most anticipated game, got really excited by the moth looking boss/enemy with his hive, as I understand, he will be in the next update "Dark places", can't wait to see what's this gay can doo, good luck with this great game, know the next update will be as great us the previous
Thank you for thinking so! Doing something a bit different and filling in a 'hole' was absolutely our intent, and hopefully you'll continue to think highly of the game by the time the next update arrives!
Is there any particular trick to the river vines scene, when you're rescuing Kuno again? It SEEMS completely arbitrary when I'm getting caught, but I can't be certain.
I mean not exactly that I MIND getting caught, at least once or twice xD
The river vines alternate between being up and being down. When they're up and above the water, they'll grab you when you jump. When they're down, you can cross.
If you really can't tell which state they're in... jump, see what happens and make note of which one of the two states the vines were in. If you make it successfully, great, do that again. If you get caught... then do the opposite.
Not sure what else to say. I feel like it's fairly obvious...? But I also helped make and test the game, so of course I know what's up.
Thank you! I've made it past before, but in all honesty sometimes smaller details can escape me, that's why I admitted I was probably missing something, in this case, it was even obvious lol

Any new upcoming content?
There will be more, but we don't have any date yet.
so im having a problem where my game freezes when i attempt to use my grapple moves any ideas how to fix that? wonder if something was wrong when i downloaded it for windows
Interesting... not an issue we've ever heard reported before. The game just freezes, yes? No error messages or anything?
The first recommendation as always would indeed be redownloading the game. And if it happens for you again, we can try and find what the problem is.
make a female version please
I have had problems like that occasionally. If i restart my PC it fixes it for me.
Thank you ginger that worked for me just odd it would do that
Would this work on Joiplay?
It has several graphical issues that impede gameplay

By the way is this really only in alpha giving how much is in the game it's hard to believe that it's only in alpha.
Yeah, the game is in something of an alpha state right now. I'd say we have about... 40% of the overall content and story we want to include in the overall game?
Glad you seem to think it's a good and impressive amount of content though!
homoerotic content with sexy buff scalies, an interesting combat system, AND an intrigueing story?
What a rare and enjoyable treat this was!
Thank you very much! Glad our game's niche could fit you so well.
Well thank you very much for making and sharing it for all.
I've gotten to the data place in the dunes with the swapping bridges but the long keeps changing to fast even when i start moving through the moment it changes to blue i still keep getting caught even worse is that it keeps sending me all the way back to the beginning is there anything i can do to actually get past it?
I just did it because apparently there was a sprint option the entire time. God i am so stupid
Well, congrats on figuring it out when it mattered...!
I'm having trouble passing the dunes what do I have to do?
Your goal is in the top-right (North East) of the area. When your heat exposure is getting too high, look for dark and shady areas. Make sure to walk around a bit in the shady areas, until Grove is cool once again.
could you tell me which are the shaded places
The places that look like they're shaded...? The house, the valley, down in the caves. Y'know, places like that.
May I ask what was updated a few days ago?
Page description, compatibility warnings and credits for certain language patches. No actual game content, I'm afraid.
Well, thank you for answering my question.
It's been half a year since the last update. Wait for the next update.
When i got into the corrupted forest camp site im really close to getting to that weird statue but the last slime is stupid fast. how do i get past it?
Nvm i just figured it out
Is there any tutorial on how to get all scenes from the gallery ?
It's there in the description: https://qazm.itch.io/a-grove-timeline
big thank you to whoever made it, too.
I need help, how do I remove the Plant Latchers from my body? I can't even go to camp because it won't let me leave the area until I've killed all the Latchers, but as soon as I attack one, they just jump on my body leading me to a Game Over without being able to do anything.
I managed to beat the two other Planters by just using Azur Shards but I still have them on atm, I'll make sure to ask again if I'm having trouble
You have to "bath" in the pond. Go back to previous location where the forest is thick and "shadowy". the pond at top left maps when Kuno waiting for you before
How did you come at this location? 0.0
will there be an android version of this game in the future?
how can I open this...
Did you remember the black clothers you get from Ranger ? Wear it ,and you can open the door. But it will lead to a longer story line ; highly recommend you to save the game before make your decision(if you wear the clothes in front of Ranger, you will see a funny reaction from him ; ) )
Oh my~ thanks!
what clothers?
i dont have that
i have basic, knight, desert
If you rescue the blue dragon in the forest, he'll give you some slimy black undergarments. If you wear those, you'll be able to pass the barrier.
If you didn't rescue him, or already left the forest, they'll vanish and break though. So you might need to go back to a previous save / start again.
Such a fun game. Can't wait for next update :D
Cheers!
can you make a female verion? please
Can I ask something? Since I dont know where is it... Where is gallery?
Haven't played in a while, but I believe you access it from your room in the inn? One of the interactibles.
I cant see it, I try to find in my room but there is nothing
Must have had it confused with a different game in RPG maker lol. Not sure then sorry :)
its okay, thanks!!
You must complete the game to earn the access to the gallery, so complete the game and it will show up in your room as a red glassball
This game is so awesome😍😍😍I played it no less than four times
awesome work there, i finished the entyre game in mode i wanted all the good stuff, took me arround 2 weeks but worth it, just small doub, the door inside the tabernt in the north bridge camp is locked how i unlok it???? or is under construcction too???
Thanks for playing our game and wanting to find everything!
That door inside the tavern in the north bridge camp cannot be accessed yet!
Loving the game so far. I wasn't expecting much given how games like this tend to be put out without any chance of getting finished, but this looks really promising. Sex scenes are hot and frequent, but avoidable, nothing too nasty, no offensive material, and the writing is pretty decent.
Will eagerly await more

Yep, that's the plan! We'll include a save-file transfer guide like we always do, so you can continue where you left off!
I've been following the authors' Twitter accounts to see that the next update is going to be a big one, so I'm looking forward to it.
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! This game is AWESOME! I really like the concept of "when you defeated" you.. lose.... not only lose and retry after that. but you get something extra for losing..😳every time I encounter new enemy. I always submit. HAHAHA HELP

Question if you don't mind, I'm stuck in the forest part after the first slug fight, any clues on what I need to do?
