I dunno if I'm just not far enough in or if it's in the planned concept of the game but will there commendable companions that fight with you be in the game?
There aren't any companions that you command in the game... yet. But there are a few moments where you'll travel alongside folks, and maybe there'll be some instances in the future...!
I want to say thank you to those who develop this game, this game allowed me to forget about pressing problems, which had a positive effect on my artwork.
If it's not a secret, how close is the game to the end? Now the duration of the game is about 5 hours, how long will it be by the end?
And just a question, I may be stupid, but how to activate those black underwear that I get for rescuing a ranger? it tells me that they are not activated, how to activate them?
They've mentioned in the Discord server that the game is roughly 50% done, maybe 40% but I might be wrong.
Also the curse undergarments is only active in the forest area. Once you leave the forest they become inert. So just put it on right after you save the ranger. You'll get a scene for trying to leave the forest as well as another scene for figuring out how to take it off.
After that you can give it to the Wizard at the Inn to purify it for personal use.
And if the game is really only 50% -40% ready, this is of course still a very long time. But I hope the author has the strength to finish it, as this is a rather interesting product, albeit for a very narrow circle of people
Hey, thanks a lot for the kind comments! We're always glad to hear that our game could bring a bit of positivity into somebody's life, even if it's still a lewd project.
And yeah, in terms of overall content, something like 40% complete, maybe a little less, maybe a little more. Hopefully we'll have a new update for you to enjoy soon-ish...
Good luck in the meantime, and thanks again for the kind words!
I wanna play it badly, sadly it doesn't support android, so I just wanted to ask whether there will be a android ver in the future, just askin. Since by looking at the games sample image of the games content seems good ngl... So will there be one or no?
I really can't make any promises. The various plugins we use for both visuals and game systems don't jive with android emulation. We'd have to figure out ways to work around this, and the game would be quite gimped in terms of its content...
I'm not gonna say "never", but I wouldn't bet on it.
attempted to install and play the linux version on steam deck, but the .sh file seemed to just open and instantly close without running the game. Is it broken, or is there something I'm missing? any help would be much appreciated! I'm a bit new to linux and all that, so I could just be missing something obvious.
OK, first thing's first, make sure you have gconf installed, RPG Maker uses that. This miiiiight make it work.
If that doesn't work... then we might need to get a bit more technical. I'll do my best to walk you through it, but tomorrow since it's late right now.
could I suggest maybe a option to pay (with gold of course) to unlock/go back to an area, so that you can unlock it in the gallery? As much as I loved the game, I'd rather not have to restart to get the mimic scene. Otherwise I'm loving the game so far nwn
Good news: You don't have to pay money or restart your entire game just to get a scene you missed in the gallery. We've already implemented a feature that allows you to unlock scenes you missed by going 'back in time' with an old save.
Just load up an old save and go check out the mimic scene. Make sure that you have enough Stamina so you don't get a Game Over, and you'll unlock the scene in the gallery in your most recent save!
Hi, love the game tons! But I'm a bit stuck. I've been playing the game and just can't really finish it because it won't let me save?? Whenever I try, it makes a loud errorlike beeping noise.
An beeping error noise when you try and save? That's a new one...
Well, my first suggestion when it comes to saving issues is to double-check that you properly extracted / unzipped the game when you downloaded it. The game won't properly save if you're playing it out of the compressed folder... so do double check that.
If you've already done that... does the game give you an error message at all? Or your computer for that matter? What operating system are you running the game on? Gonna need some more details to try and work this out...
The game runs smoothly otherwise, and I'm on Windows. It's properly extracted although I do have some files put in from previous versions of the game and ik I put them in according to the tutorial and everything. It doesn't give me an error message or anything, just beeps like that sound when you input some kinda wrong answer to something lmao.
Hey there, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. It's not perfect, but we might have a solution for you:
Our best guess is somehow the game's global save file has become corrupted. In this case, the best thing to do is go to the folder you've saved the game in, cut and paste your numbered saves and 'persistent' save file elsewhere so they're backed up, then delete the current version of the game and redownload it again from this website.
You should then be able to copy your backed up saves into the new game's files and continue as you were...!
Where did you put the game directory? Because you can load the files, but can't rewrite / generate new ones, I'm assuming you've placed it in a location with restricted access. Try putting it on your desktop if you haven't already, and run from there. Otherwise, see if running the game in administrative mode will help
Heya, I've just found the game and tried it out, but now I'm stuck. In the sand valley underground bunker virtual reality, after disabling the second barrier, I can't pass the long stretch, bc even with running I can't reach a safe tile. Maybe the two turns make me too late? I've been trying a couple dozen times, but no dice, so I gave up for now. Am I missing a trick?? Other than that I've enjoyed the characters and quests so far and the overall tone of the narrative is cute. Thank you for sharing it!
Is this the spot you're referring to, by any chance? If so, those white areas are safe spots that you can navigate to, so you don't have to do it all in one go!
If you're having trouble getting to them, you can also use mouse-click navigation! Give it a shot if you're struggling at all.
exactly that! I did notice the areas, but couldn't make it.. but I haven't tried mouseclick navigation, so I'll do that next! Thank you for the reply, that was fast!^^
I love the game. Excited and can't wait for new stuff to be added to it. I return to reply to it from the start every once in a while just for the sake of enjoyment. Your project is unique, which makes me return to it over and over again.
I really enjoyed the game! Despite the fact that I'm not a fan of RPG due to the fact that I poorly navigate the maps and often can not find the right passage to the location.
And because of this problem I have a question. How do I get to the southern regions to help the veteran group? ( I have not yet passed the bridge in the north). Thanks in advance for the help.
From the Quiet Meadow's Inn, you wanna head straight downwards, and then go all the way to the left! You'll end up back at the cliffside you started the game at... and there'll be a path further to the south that'll take you to where the veteran's group have gone!
Hope you'll be able to continue playing and enjoy yourself!
really looking forward to how things progress going forward, already love the content that is released, but quite interested on your next ideas and the new enemy's
We haven't got an estimated time on when more will be added, but there will be more eventually. Please be patient, and thank you for playing and sharing your positive words :)
sounds good just really hoping for more and i am sure others are hoping for more as well but take your time tho we all want to see good stuff come for you and your team
Thank you very much for taking the plunge with our game! Glad that you ended up having an enjoyable time of things despite your concerns going in.
There'll be some more kinds of scenes that are less lewd, or otherwise more innocent and innocuous for sure. Do keep an eye out when the next major patch is ready... whenever that is (no ETA yet)
Hey, thank you for the very kind and encouraging comment!
We know that RPG Maker games get a bit of flak for being rather uninspired when it comes to visuals... trust us, we've played some of those ourselves.
It was a conscious effort to really put some work into making the game look and feel and handle different and stand out from the pack, and we're glad that in your eyes it seems to have managed that!
A donation would be massively appreciated, but mostly we're just glad you took the time to check out our game and share a very kind review, thank you!
i saw the game was Published on September 11th, and now it's the 11th for me don't know if it's the same for you guys but let me be the first to say Happy Anniversary GROVE! :D
Thank you very much! One year since being on itch.io, though the game itself is a little older than that. Nevertheless, thanks a lot for the kind words! And thank you for playing our game!
No Problem! i can't wait to see the new Update to the game soon and I got almost all the cutscenes in the game too, I hope you do your best with Grove Good Luck my friend. Link out! ;)
Nothing yet, though I can assure you it hasn't been a year yet. Trust us, we'd know.
If you're +Following here on itch.io, following RegalBuster's Twitter, or on our Discord, you'll be the first to know when we have update information. Otherwise, just sit back and relax and be patient. We'll do our best to make sure nobody misses it!
Emmm,in fact， I can't access more cyberspace, because there are many special occupations in China that have this requirement, and it's not just in China. And my English is so poor that I just can only use an interpreter to communicate with you here.
It's probably like when your landlord comes to collect rent, there's a fixed time to come, although I don't think I actually did anything to violate the professional code.
Hi, I wanted to apologize to any discord mod/admin who received a scam message from my account. I got hacked last month and they blocked anyone I previously started a chat with. Other than that, they sent a discord link to a server made solely to hack whoever joined it. I managed to recover my account, but now I can no longer enter the Grove discord server.
Something's wrong with the Mac OS version. At the start of the game when it asks you if you want voices or not, choosing either of them will give me an error message.
I don't think it'd cause any real issues in terms of programming, but I also don't think it'd add much in the way of challenge either? The armour sets (and weapon choices) are our soft implementation of a "class" system, so none of them should really make the game harder... besides I guess if you started naked.
Maybe a NG+ option, but that's a long way in the future, haha.
I know linux version of it is still experimental so I just wanna say it is all black screen . . . The visual up to date is missing to say the least however the game still works I suppose, I can still hear its audio when I click buttons ( e.g. arrows, enter). I do hope it will be fixed soon <3
In case just restarting the game doesn't fix it and if you're willing to do a bit of surgery on the game files:
This could be an incompatibility between the old version of NW.js that comes with RPG Maker MV and a newer graphics stack on your system, since the former is effectively an old Chromium from 2018. The good news is that it's not customised, so you can download the "NORMAL" version from nwjs.io and extract it over the matching files in the GROVE… folder to update.
That's largely a guess though. I'm mainly suggesting it because it fixed hardware acceleration for me on Linux, but the game was already rendering for me regardless, even if slowly.
Just had to stop by and say this game is utterly wonderful. There really is nothing like it that I know of; Chimeric Violet has elements of submission and it *IS* a great game, but it's also CREEPY-AS-HELL😰
DO I hope slavers are added akin to the terrifically made/written bandit sequence? YES
DO I hope spiders are added while understanding full well they're not for everyone? YES
DO I really care deeply about either of those things? NOPE, not when I completely trust the vision of the game! Please keep at it!
----> POSSIBLE TINY SPOILER <----
BTW: to anyone that wouldn't want to miss it and did, make sure to fight and lose to the bandit chief; amazing sequence! I worked with him when I played so almost missed it till playing around with the gallery
Hey, thanks a lot for the very kind and enthusiastic comment! I'm really glad you seemingly enjoyed a great deal of our efforts.
I'll say... I think that you'd be quite fond of the next update we're working on. No ETA yet, but given your hopes / suggestions... I think you'll be pleased for sure. Do follow the project here, or RegalBuster on Twitter, if you wanna be kept in the know.
Otherwise, thanks again for stopping by and giving the kind comment! Super appreciated :)
Dude, you do realize it's gay for a reason, a entirely gay game, no they will not be adding a single female character, and definitely not a gender swapped cast
There should be a scene if you wear the slimy black underwear in front of Kuno where you end up having sex with Kuno in a moment of lust. Love to commission a story regarding the underwear myself.
Game definitely has huge potential , the story is great , character is fine too. The only thing bugging me while playing this game is the battle system, it went fine thorough the battle but once it went near the end (where you grappled the enemy aka had sex, but none of you get to climax(you win). But if the enemy gets to climax ,you lose.) If the battle went like ,let's say Tavern of Spear or Small on Top or even Lustful Desires it'll be much much way better. Just a heads up*. Or if i somehow I did something wrong in my way of playing, please anyone do tell haha.
Thanks for playing our game, I'm glad that you enjoyed the story and the characters.
I don't know if I fully understand your critique of the battle system though. Are you saying you want a battle system that's all about charming enemies, having sex with them, and winning the battle because THEY climaxed and are exhausted?
If that's the case... well, you're entitled to that opinion, and I know that those other games you mentioned do that, but that's not really how WE want to handle Grove's character nor the kinds of enemies in our game. We want things to be dangerous, tempting, corruptive and hypnotic, and having sex with them being a submission to desire... if Grove could somehow win by out-sexing them, that'd really mitigate a lot of their 'threat' and the kind of kinks we want to display.
Hope you can understand our reasons and motivations for not following the crowd and doing what all those other games do. We have absolutely nothing against those games, we just want to make something a little different...!
I get what the game is about. It's about fighting the temptation to be dominated and risking a game over by seeing a sex scene. Having sex with monsters sounds fun but how often would you end up being able to walk away alive and losing some money? I like the fact you allow a gallery for those who like the scenes. I enjoy monster sex as much as the next person but the plot itself is important as well. Keep it up.
Absolutely not! The battle system is very original AND perfect! I hope the author doesn't ever change it to look like another game. I love this system of losing armor so much, it's very exciting. So please, you don't have to change what is perfect already SirIzike
Be cool if you had a drone character following the protagonist. The drone is a prototype you find in the virtual world and always refers to your character in the same matter the computer does.
There seems to be a bug at the blacksmith's after releasing him and the Quiet Meadow is rebuilt. After visiting him first time if you go back again, it keeps saying "Perhaps you should check on the Blacksmith first", but the only interaction with him is for shopping. And I can't leave the area.
I pay most games on my mac computer. I have a pretty up to date one, and its always run smoothly. But for some reason every time I get to the point where it asks to enable grapple voices the game stops working, and I can't ever get beyond that point.
Does the game provide any kind of error message? If so, can you share it with us? Otherwise, please check you've downloaded the MacOS version, that it's downloaded to the desktop and not a cloud-sync location, and... sometimes just restarting the computer can fix things.
If you've tried all that and it's still crashing, you might need a small bit of additional software to run the game. Don't worry, it's free and safe. Here's what to do:
1). Download the game file and extract the folder (Grove_0.204) to the desktop. 2). Download the normal version of NW.js (https://nwjs.io/) and transfer the app to Applications. 3). Go finder, utilities, terminal and use the following command to launch the game: open -n -a nwjs --args "/Users/name/Desktop/Grove_0.204"
(the "name" should be your username for the file path)
Hopefully one of these solutions should work for you!
We haven't got any release window I'm afraid. But you can either +Follow Grove Development, RegalBuster's Twitter, or join our Discord to be kept updated with news when we DO have a date.

I dunno if I'm just not far enough in or if it's in the planned concept of the game but will there commendable companions that fight with you be in the game?
There aren't any companions that you command in the game... yet. But there are a few moments where you'll travel alongside folks, and maybe there'll be some instances in the future...!
I want to say thank you to those who develop this game, this game allowed me to forget about pressing problems, which had a positive effect on my artwork.
If it's not a secret, how close is the game to the end? Now the duration of the game is about 5 hours, how long will it be by the end?
And just a question, I may be stupid, but how to activate those black underwear that I get for rescuing a ranger?
it tells me that they are not activated, how to activate them?
They've mentioned in the Discord server that the game is roughly 50% done, maybe 40% but I might be wrong.
Also the curse undergarments is only active in the forest area. Once you leave the forest they become inert. So just put it on right after you save the ranger. You'll get a scene for trying to leave the forest as well as another scene for figuring out how to take it off.
After that you can give it to the Wizard at the Inn to purify it for personal use.
Thanks

I wanna play it badly, sadly it doesn't support android, so I just wanted to ask whether there will be a android ver in the future, just askin. Since by looking at the games sample image of the games content seems good ngl... So will there be one or no?
I really can't make any promises. The various plugins we use for both visuals and game systems don't jive with android emulation. We'd have to figure out ways to work around this, and the game would be quite gimped in terms of its content...
I'm not gonna say "never", but I wouldn't bet on it.
attempted to install and play the linux version on steam deck, but the .sh file seemed to just open and instantly close without running the game. Is it broken, or is there something I'm missing? any help would be much appreciated! I'm a bit new to linux and all that, so I could just be missing something obvious.
OK, first thing's first, make sure you have
gconfinstalled, RPG Maker uses that. This miiiiight make it work.If that doesn't work... then we might need to get a bit more technical. I'll do my best to walk you through it, but tomorrow since it's late right now.
I think I need a new version of the notice.It's too painful for me to waitting.
I want to ask if you have ever considered the Android version
hnm anyone know how to get pass the sigil,in the area that hsve big slime pool,tried msny times but dont work?
You need to be wearing the cursed underwear that you receive from rescuing the blue-scaled ranger!
Hi i love this game but, everytime i close the game and open it again all my saves are erased why does this happen?
That's most likely because you didn't extract the game before running it. You need to do that, or your saves won't write.
some devs like to add a paywall after the game is "complete" will you be doing this?
Most likely not, I'd say
Good, mist game just did, paywalls suck!
could I suggest maybe a option to pay (with gold of course) to unlock/go back to an area, so that you can unlock it in the gallery? As much as I loved the game, I'd rather not have to restart to get the mimic scene. Otherwise I'm loving the game so far nwn
Good news: You don't have to pay money or restart your entire game just to get a scene you missed in the gallery. We've already implemented a feature that allows you to unlock scenes you missed by going 'back in time' with an old save.
Just load up an old save and go check out the mimic scene. Make sure that you have enough Stamina so you don't get a Game Over, and you'll unlock the scene in the gallery in your most recent save!
I do feel stupid for doing this, but I tend to overwrite/delete older saves, also since I save before doing literally everything
Hi, love the game tons! But I'm a bit stuck. I've been playing the game and just can't really finish it because it won't let me save?? Whenever I try, it makes a loud errorlike beeping noise.

Thank you very much!
You were banned, permanently, in late October and not September. There were no plans to lift the ban, then or now.

Hi, I wanted to apologize to any discord mod/admin who received a scam message from my account. I got hacked last month and they blocked anyone I previously started a chat with. Other than that, they sent a discord link to a server made solely to hack whoever joined it. I managed to recover my account, but now I can no longer enter the Grove discord server.
Hey RukaWeierstrass,
No worries, do you mind giving me your Discord username so I can remove the ban?
- RegalBuster
Sure, I'm Sekai_#0197
Ok, I've just revoked the ban. Do watch out for suspicious links next time!
- RegalBuster
Something's wrong with the Mac OS version. At the start of the game when it asks you if you want voices or not, choosing either of them will give me an error message.
It's likely this mechanism: https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/app-translocation.html
I.e. the fix is to first unarchive the game, and then move the game files again, using Finder. That seems to clear some quarantine flag.
Thanks for the help, it worked!
Glad to hear it!
距离下一个版本还有多久，我等不及了
我们不确定。 请耐心等待。
Any chance of adding a mode where you can choose your armor from the start? to add a challenge, or would that cause too many issues for the game?
I don't think it'd cause any real issues in terms of programming, but I also don't think it'd add much in the way of challenge either? The armour sets (and weapon choices) are our soft implementation of a "class" system, so none of them should really make the game harder... besides I guess if you started naked.

This could be an incompatibility between the old version of NW.js that comes with RPG Maker MV and a newer graphics stack on your system, since the former is effectively an old Chromium from 2018.
The good news is that it's not customised, so you can download the "NORMAL" version from nwjs.io and extract it over the matching files in the GROVE… folder to update.
That's largely a guess though. I'm mainly suggesting it because it fixed hardware acceleration for me on Linux, but the game was already rendering for me regardless, even if slowly.
Just had to stop by and say this game is utterly wonderful. There really is nothing like it that I know of; Chimeric Violet has elements of submission and it *IS* a great game, but it's also CREEPY-AS-HELL😰
DO I hope slavers are added akin to the terrifically made/written bandit sequence? YES
DO I hope spiders are added while understanding full well they're not for everyone? YES
DO I really care deeply about either of those things? NOPE, not when I completely trust the vision of the game! Please keep at it!
----> POSSIBLE TINY SPOILER <----
BTW: to anyone that wouldn't want to miss it and did, make sure to fight and lose to the bandit chief; amazing sequence! I worked with him when I played so almost missed it till playing around with the gallery
Hey, thanks a lot for the very kind and enthusiastic comment! I'm really glad you seemingly enjoyed a great deal of our efforts.
I'll say... I think that you'd be quite fond of the next update we're working on. No ETA yet, but given your hopes / suggestions... I think you'll be pleased for sure. Do follow the project here, or RegalBuster on Twitter, if you wanna be kept in the know.
Otherwise, thanks again for stopping by and giving the kind comment! Super appreciated :)
Dude, you do realize it's gay for a reason, a entirely gay game, no they will not be adding a single female character, and definitely not a gender swapped cast
men
З Oh my God! There is a Russian language here
Enjoy!
There should be a scene if you wear the slimy black underwear in front of Kuno where you end up having sex with Kuno in a moment of lust. Love to commission a story regarding the underwear myself.
Game definitely has huge potential , the story is great , character is fine too. The only thing bugging me while playing this game is the battle system, it went fine thorough the battle but once it went near the end (where you grappled the enemy aka had sex, but none of you get to climax(you win). But if the enemy gets to climax ,you lose.) If the battle went like ,let's say Tavern of Spear or Small on Top or even Lustful Desires it'll be much much way better. Just a heads up*. Or if i somehow I did something wrong in my way of playing, please anyone do tell haha.
Thanks for playing our game, I'm glad that you enjoyed the story and the characters.
I don't know if I fully understand your critique of the battle system though. Are you saying you want a battle system that's all about charming enemies, having sex with them, and winning the battle because THEY climaxed and are exhausted?
If that's the case... well, you're entitled to that opinion, and I know that those other games you mentioned do that, but that's not really how WE want to handle Grove's character nor the kinds of enemies in our game. We want things to be dangerous, tempting, corruptive and hypnotic, and having sex with them being a submission to desire... if Grove could somehow win by out-sexing them, that'd really mitigate a lot of their 'threat' and the kind of kinks we want to display.
Hope you can understand our reasons and motivations for not following the crowd and doing what all those other games do. We have absolutely nothing against those games, we just want to make something a little different...!
I get what the game is about. It's about fighting the temptation to be dominated and risking a game over by seeing a sex scene. Having sex with monsters sounds fun but how often would you end up being able to walk away alive and losing some money? I like the fact you allow a gallery for those who like the scenes. I enjoy monster sex as much as the next person but the plot itself is important as well. Keep it up.
Absolutely not! The battle system is very original AND perfect! I hope the author doesn't ever change it to look like another game. I love this system of losing armor so much, it's very exciting. So please, you don't have to change what is perfect already SirIzike
Be cool if you had a drone character following the protagonist. The drone is a prototype you find in the virtual world and always refers to your character in the same matter the computer does.
There seems to be a bug at the blacksmith's after releasing him and the Quiet Meadow is rebuilt. After visiting him first time if you go back again, it keeps saying "Perhaps you should check on the Blacksmith first", but the only interaction with him is for shopping. And I can't leave the area.
Try checking out the Inn and talking to the Wizard, or go to the well in the south behind the gate.
Would love to have the option to take a slime or corrupted creature to be a toy when you beat them.
Does being corrupted affect the ending or it doesn't matter?
It will affect the ending, in the future. Right now it just influences a few scenes.
I pay most games on my mac computer. I have a pretty up to date one, and its always run smoothly. But for some reason every time I get to the point where it asks to enable grapple voices the game stops working, and I can't ever get beyond that point.
Does anyone else with mac have this issue?
Does the game provide any kind of error message? If so, can you share it with us? Otherwise, please check you've downloaded the MacOS version, that it's downloaded to the desktop and not a cloud-sync location, and... sometimes just restarting the computer can fix things.
If you've tried all that and it's still crashing, you might need a small bit of additional software to run the game. Don't worry, it's free and safe. Here's what to do:
1). Download the game file and extract the folder (Grove_0.204) to the desktop.
2). Download the normal version of NW.js (https://nwjs.io/) and transfer the app to Applications.
3). Go finder, utilities, terminal and use the following command to launch the game: open -n -a nwjs --args "/Users/name/Desktop/Grove_0.204"
(the "name" should be your username for the file path)
Hopefully one of these solutions should work for you!
Is there a Japanese patch available?
