Im stuck in the giant tree roots i cant seem to end the quest i even tried submitting to the hot spider dude but that didn't end well (or did it?) And ive explored the entire underground what do i do?
That's because you haven't extracted the game before playing, most likely. Please unzip / extract the file you download and then your saves should work right.
What to say... awesome update! Thanks for giving me more kinks i did not know i had. You'r game made me a bit more weird... but that's alright.^^
I do like the story so far and i'm curious how it will unfold. Hope for a happy end for Grove and the Boy's. :)
If you doint minde i habe one question tho:
You mentiont that there are some "collectable" items... so i started a new game but i didn't find one so far. I have the quest to go to the bandit hideout and i fear i missed something?
And sorry for my english... it's not my native language^^
Thank you so very much for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed yourself with the update!
There are indeed some collectable items! There's 10 apples to find hidden around the game. Don't worry, none of them will disappear if you go too far, so just keep looking for them!
l love this game so much and took me 6 hour from the first beginning (V0.204) to ending (v0.304) and l see ending GROVE: dark places still continue ( it mean there will be part 2 ) . SPOILERS !: Hopefully add some side quest or main quest and some few gallery scenes for Rinnal , jaler ,Kuno and Blacksmith in this year that will be great.
you're welcome. Oh there is some idea l want to tell you , you know get some idea and tips if you need help
SPOILERS : when l play through, l never see between grove and other friends ( Rinnal , jaler , kuno and Blacksmith, etc. ), l thought they will have some privacy love somewhere like in room or anywhere . If you have chance make gallery scene between grove and other friends in privacy love ( can be 2 people or maybe 3 in privacy) that will be amazing :))
l'm bet sure everyone will love this part scene so much
That all them, this will help you to get some idea for update.
if You don't want use these idea , it's ok . Only you make right decision
spoiler , but can l ask a question ? Is Tuon not uncorrupted yet or he is loyal to desire? His behavior is suspicious in v0.3. Moreover, among all NPCs that he is the only one with corrupted text content.
I've defeated the jungle boss and opened the chest at the tower, then teleported immediately to the central town. The next quest says I should find the Auxiliary commander, but I can't find him nowhere and I can't even escape the Quiet Clearing & Quiet Meadow. What should I do?
I've touched everything there and still haven't found him yet. There was a suspicious brown dragon NPC who only appears as the text when I touch the door or the banana inside the house, but I can't still touch him since he's invisible DX
Hey there, I think you might have slightly messed up the sequencing by teleporting yourself immediately back to the Quiet Meadow. After opening the chest at the tower, you're supposed to go back outside, and a scene should take place that takes you back to Quiet Meadow...
We'll look into this ourselves to see if it's the case. For now, you are going to need to reload a save, I'm afraid. Try and let the scene play out itself... and once it does, you should also try talking to the Veteran (red-scaled knight) and see if that helps too.
The game automatically TP me to Quiet Meadow after I open the chest lol.
I've already tried talking to Veteran and reloading save, so maybe I should just reinstall and start from zero. The game is really nice and worth playing twice, thanks for the help!
And you can't find the auxiliary commander anywhere, no? He's a fellow in yellow-ish, brown-ish robes. He's in the Quiet Clearing, should be standing near a tent with a banner, fairly in the open...?
If he's somehow not appearing at all, then... yeah, we'll have to look and make sure something hasn't broken. This is the first time this issue has come up so we're really not sure, but we'll look into it at least.
I don't think you should need to reinstall...! But... I guess it can't hurt, if you really don't mind! I'm glad you at least enjoyed yourself with the game up to that point!
Yes I remember the tent with a banner, but no one's there. Aaand the only Npc with robes is the one who smash me on the ground when I touch banana three times(but he appears only from the text and event scene).
I'm really enjoying the game, so I'm willing to restart. Please keep up the great work!
That's the guy... but if for some reason he's not showing up except if you interact with the tent, then yeah, something's gone wrong.
I really don't know what the issue is. This is the first time anyone's ever mentioned it. But we'll look into it and push a hotfix if we find it's a repeatable and solvable issue.
Is the FR patch compatible with the new version? when I launch the game having replaced the "www" folder, Failed to load: js/plugins/YEP_X_SkillCooldowns.js. (I'm not godd with english so i wait a french trad)
Unfortunately the French patch is not compatible with the newest version as there are new plugins included, hence the crash. There might be one finished in the coming weeks though! Well let you know when it’s ready with a post.
As I am Japanese, I may not be able to write well in English. sry...
I would like to thank the developer of this game and all the people involved. I have been waiting since last year's update and they have really delivered something great.
I am really grateful.I made a donation to you guys. Please, have a good rest.
thank you so much for the donation and the willingness to leave a review! Easiest way is to click on ‘download’, and then there should be a review box that appears once it begins. Feel free to stop the download afterwards.
I’ve got 3 moon dust, but I can’t give it to the wizard. He still says that any luck finding more of that strange purple dust … I’ll see what I can synthesize for you. Is this a bug or just I didn’t play this game in a right way?
My currrent version is 0.304.
And how to ask wizard for assistance about the slug egg? The description of the slug egg said that perhaps the Wizard can be assistance. But when I click “Oddity”, the wizard said that I don’t seem to have anything of interest,sorry…
the slug egg is used for a synthesis item. If you have the mixing pot from a character in the southern Jungle, then you can mix it into a specific potion
that might be a bug. Check if you can make a purple item in the ‘Synthesis’ menu, and if not, and if you have the three moon dust on you… then that’s a bug yeah
IT'S BACK YAY!!!! This is such a nice game that I was afraid it was abandoned. Glad to see i was wrong haha How are you guys doing the translations? I would gladly help with the pt-br if I could somehow
Just finished the whole update, right now writing this message while listening to the guitar playing in the game. Really, this game is really worth waiting for, though it is based on NSFW content, but also more and more characters are being shaped, making the atmosphere warmer and more wholesome. The encouragement from the trio, the causal conversations, and everything like these made my experience with the game far better than the 0.2 version. I am here to give my sincere gratitude to the devs for making such an awesome game for us just to enjoy, please keep up the great work.
Currently a bit stuck on the second Mini-Quest. It says to go up in the jungle and cross a river, I can't find where that is exactly, is it across from the Corruption Nest?
From the 'jungle camp', go to the right and climb up some vines. In this new area, proceed to the top-right exit.
From there you need to swing round in a U shape, jumping across some stones. You'll end up on the right side and need to climb more vines to the top of the waterfall.
At the top of the waterfall, follow the path to the left, jump across some more stones... the path from here should be fairly clear.
Go to the left. There should be a beam of light shining down. Stand in the middle and press Enter, or click in the middle with your mouse... and it should jump you out!
I burned off my slime suit but I wasn't able to give the slime strip to the smithy? Did I do something wrong? Was it because I hadn't talked to the smithy before getting the slime strip?
Items will help but are not required. There's multiple methods of doing damage to him.
You can Strip and then hit him. You can Present Yourself and then use grapple attacks... or you can Present Yourself and use Resist! when he's grappling you.
Each of these methods will do damage to him, though the last way is the most effective! A combination of these techniques can see you through!
I've been slowly going through the new update (its amazing!). And I might be just a bit curious if the blacksmith will end up using his new invention on Grove.
just finished the game with the full gallery completed, really nice game , was a little bit confused about what to do against the enhtralled explorer but beat him anyway. Thanks for the game hope you keep going, do you guys have like a patreon or something or do we just donate through the paypal and itch.io ?
so.. i'm stuck in a part of the game, on the third mission, i really don't know what to do or where to go and i can't get out of the jungle, i'm literally stuck there, where was i supposed to scout out?.. im kind lost,i dont know if my save broke..
Did you see some cutscenes with your fellow dragon explorers as you travelled down there? If not, you missed something. Go back to the Quiet Meadow Inn, go upstairs, and the door on the far right. Talk to the li'l guy in his room.
If you did do and see that, you need to go up the cliff with the glowing jump sigil, down into the slug den hole... and look for a hole that leads you deeper. Or you can just lose to the slugs down there, they'll take you to the boss.
I also got stuck on this part. Spoilers kinda. I couldn't get the sigil to work (assuming its the one where grove fantasizes about jumping down into the pit.) I did have the idea to lose to one of the slugs, but after defeating the boss, the dialogue for the scene ends abruptly and it seems to be frozen? Can't move or anything.
Edit: Oop, silly me. The dialogue issue's been patched in one of the hotfixes.
I replayed a part of the game and you're right, sorry for the inconvenience I really accidentally skipped a part of the event but thank you very much for helping me, I love this game it's one of the best I've played in a long time,thank yu again!
I've seemingly gotten softlocked in the deeper slime caverns looking for Kuno's knife. I defeated all the crimson slime dragons but can't progress or leave. The only interactable objects of note, are the chestplate which spawned the armoured slime and the slime plants in the corner that can't be passed.
This is my answer: Ringo and I will make Russian translation only after all the bugfixes. Right now we are getting acquainted with the update. Be patient for a while.
Hello dear developer, I am a Chinese player and am communicating with you in broken English, you may not know how many of your game lovers we have here, thank you for the gift
One thing is that some of us who are not proficient in English can't fully enjoy the updated content, so I wonder if there are plans to update the Chinese?

Im stuck in the giant tree roots i cant seem to end the quest i even tried submitting to the hot spider dude but that didn't end well (or did it?) And ive explored the entire underground what do i do?
Go through the hole behind the spider. Walk along the pathway, and jump down into the tunnel
Go left, towards a beam of light! Press Enter in the middle of the light, and you'll jump back up.
You should know where to go from there!
i love the game but it keeps deleting my save when i close it
That's because you haven't extracted the game before playing, most likely. Please unzip / extract the file you download and then your saves should work right.
Hello o/
What to say... awesome update! Thanks for giving me more kinks i did not know i had. You'r game made me a bit more weird... but that's alright.^^
I do like the story so far and i'm curious how it will unfold. Hope for a happy end for Grove and the Boy's. :)
If you doint minde i habe one question tho:
You mentiont that there are some "collectable" items... so i started a new game but i didn't find one so far. I have the quest to go to the bandit hideout and i fear i missed something?
And sorry for my english... it's not my native language^^
Stay safe and healty!
Thank you so very much for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed yourself with the update!
There are indeed some collectable items! There's 10 apples to find hidden around the game. Don't worry, none of them will disappear if you go too far, so just keep looking for them!
Thanks for the reply! I will keep looking for the items then :D
l love this game so much and took me 6 hour from the first beginning (V0.204) to ending (v0.304) and l see ending GROVE: dark places still continue ( it mean there will be part 2 ) . SPOILERS !: Hopefully add some side quest or main quest and some few gallery scenes for Rinnal , jaler ,Kuno and Blacksmith in this year that will be great.
Thanks so much for playing! Plenty more to come, so hope you enjoy what the future holds!
you're welcome. Oh there is some idea l want to tell you , you know get some idea and tips if you need help
SPOILERS : when l play through, l never see between grove and other friends ( Rinnal , jaler , kuno and Blacksmith, etc. ), l thought they will have some privacy love somewhere like in room or anywhere . If you have chance make gallery scene between grove and other friends in privacy love ( can be 2 people or maybe 3 in privacy) that will be amazing :))
l'm bet sure everyone will love this part scene so much
That all them, this will help you to get some idea for update.
if You don't want use these idea , it's ok . Only you make right decision
:))
spoiler , but can l ask a question ? Is Tuon not uncorrupted yet or he is loyal to desire? His behavior is suspicious in v0.3. Moreover, among all NPCs that he is the only one with corrupted text content.
You'll just have to wait and see.
"Our head was not purple eyes" (muse)
This game is great but, is there a way to load a save file, and with the step by step
There should be a "save file transfer guide" in the download! That'll help you bring your save files over.
I've defeated the jungle boss and opened the chest at the tower, then teleported immediately to the central town. The next quest says I should find the Auxiliary commander, but I can't find him nowhere and I can't even escape the Quiet Clearing & Quiet Meadow. What should I do?
The Aux commander is located towards the top left of the camp, past a wall of trees. The messages should have mentioned this quite clearly.
- RegalBuster
Yeah I've already been there, the Quiet Clearing.
I've touched everything there and still haven't found him yet. There was a suspicious brown dragon NPC who only appears as the text when I touch the door or the banana inside the house, but I can't still touch him since he's invisible DX
Hey there, I think you might have slightly messed up the sequencing by teleporting yourself immediately back to the Quiet Meadow. After opening the chest at the tower, you're supposed to go back outside, and a scene should take place that takes you back to Quiet Meadow...

spoiler ! , l don't want to tell a future, but can l ask some question ? . how many gallery scenes of Rinnal and Kuno ?
For Rinnal, there's only one particular scene involving him in a sexual manner
Regarding Kuno, there's 2
- RegalBuster
Thanks and how many gallery scenes of The Aux commander ? , there is only 1 scene of The Aux commander unless there is some more secret.
Unfortunately the French patch is not compatible with the newest version as there are new plugins included, hence the crash. There might be one finished in the coming weeks though! Well let you know when it’s ready with a post.
- RegalBuster
I'll support you next time, too. Thank you for making a good game.
Thank YOU for playing! :)

IT'S BACK YAY!!!!
This is such a nice game that I was afraid it was abandoned. Glad to see i was wrong haha
How are you guys doing the translations? I would gladly help with the pt-br if I could somehow

Thanks for the big, kind, thoughtful comment! It means a great deal to us, truly! :)

is it on purpose that you cant get a higher level than 16?
No, it's a bug. We'll try and fix it tomorrow.
It was difficult to play because I don't know English well, but I finally saw the ending and it's fun.
Unfortunately, there are many scenes that could not be opened due to language restrictions.
Thank you very much for playing through our game! I am glad you enjoyed yourself.
What language do you speak? We might have a translation for you in the future.
I can speak korean
I'm sorry. We do not have any volunteers to help us with a Korean translation :(
It's so sad. I hope the day will come when I can do it in Korean someday.
But it was very fun :)
Thanks for the guide. But after completing the quest I can't return to camp by teleport or jump point. How to get here?
Go to the left. There should be a beam of light shining down. Stand in the middle and press Enter, or click in the middle with your mouse... and it should jump you out!
I burned off my slime suit but I wasn't able to give the slime strip to the smithy? Did I do something wrong? Was it because I hadn't talked to the smithy before getting the slime strip?
You need to talk to the Wizard first, talk to him about "oddity"!
Already did. Wizard told me to give something to the smithy iirc but no dialogue is prompted when I talked to the smithy.
Check the boxes outside the smithy. The green slime slab should appear on one of them... it's a bit small though so look carefully.
Nope. Don't see anything there..
Try examining the boxes anyway, just to be sure.
If nothing comes up, please let me know what you're currently doing in the game. Or what's the last main event you just did?
had a lotta trouble with 'quest' one boss
got any tips? or do i need itemss
Items will help but are not required. There's multiple methods of doing damage to him.
You can Strip and then hit him. You can Present Yourself and then use grapple attacks... or you can Present Yourself and use Resist! when he's grappling you.
Each of these methods will do damage to him, though the last way is the most effective! A combination of these techniques can see you through!
my issue was running out of TP or STM too early in step 3
I've been slowly going through the new update (its amazing!). And I might be just a bit curious if the blacksmith will end up using his new invention on Grove.
Time will tell...!
For now, thanks a lot for the kind words and for playing our game! Greatly appreciate it, truly!
Man I played the update all day and I loved it so hyped for part 2! Can't wait!
Thank you, thank you! Glad you enjoyed yourself!
I’m really enjoying this game and its updates and I really look forward to seeing what happens in part 2.
I did encounter a few softlocks (was playing the 0.3 version) but I just restarted and I didn’t realize until I finished that there were hotfixes.
Thanks so much for playing, and glad that you enjoyed yourself! Hope you'll stay tuned for the next update, coming... when we have had a break, haha.
No pressure, but would massively appreciate if you could drop a rating here on itch.io! Helps us out massively~!
just finished the game with the full gallery completed, really nice game , was a little bit confused about what to do against the enhtralled explorer but beat him anyway. Thanks for the game hope you keep going, do you guys have like a patreon or something or do we just donate through the paypal and itch.io ?
Congratulations, and thanks for playing through the game! Glad you enjoyed yourself with it!
Any donations would be massively welcomed! And yes, we're only accepting them through PayPal and itch.io, we don't have a Patreon!
If you haven't, please go give us a rating via itch.io too! It helps a lot!
It's done. Game has been fully completed after 6-7 hours of gaming (from the begenning of course).
Congrats, and thanks so much for playing! If you haven't, do give us a rating on itch.io too! It would really mean a lot!
I will put it as soon as I translate the game into Russian.
Holy Moly. This update was well worth it, keep up the good work- but at your own pace! S-Tier work. <3
Thanks very much! We'll do our best to keep the quality bar up! Would greatly appreciate a rating via itch.io if you can spare the time!
Oh, of course!
where are the first division mines again for the 4th quest?
Teleport to the 'northern bridge camp' and walk straight up, across the bridge, and keep going up.
what are you supposed to do when you encounter the windmill thing, i keep getting an automatic game over
Pay attention to the visuals. Those pink things... they look a bit like arrows, don't they... maybe something on your keyboard matches... :P
Hello, I would like to know if there will ever be an update with a translation in Portuguese
P.S: Is there a problem leaving the grove corruption high? (19)
We don't have any volunteers who can work on a Portuguese version, I'm afraid.
There's no problem with having higher corruption either, no.
so.. i'm stuck in a part of the game, on the third mission, i really don't know what to do or where to go and i can't get out of the jungle, i'm literally stuck there, where was i supposed to scout out?.. im kind lost,i dont know if my save broke..
That's a bit vague but here's my best advice:
Did you see some cutscenes with your fellow dragon explorers as you travelled down there?
If not, you missed something. Go back to the Quiet Meadow Inn, go upstairs, and the door on the far right. Talk to the li'l guy in his room.
If you did do and see that, you need to go up the cliff with the glowing jump sigil, down into the slug den hole... and look for a hole that leads you deeper.
Or you can just lose to the slugs down there, they'll take you to the boss.
I also got stuck on this part. Spoilers kinda. I couldn't get the sigil to work (assuming its the one where grove fantasizes about jumping down into the pit.) I did have the idea to lose to one of the slugs, but after defeating the boss, the dialogue for the scene ends abruptly and it seems to be frozen? Can't move or anything.
Edit: Oop, silly me. The dialogue issue's been patched in one of the hotfixes.
I replayed a part of the game and you're right, sorry for the inconvenience I really accidentally skipped a part of the event but thank you very much for helping me, I love this game it's one of the best I've played in a long time,thank yu again!
S'OK, you're welcome, and thank you for giving it a fair shake!
I've seemingly gotten softlocked in the deeper slime caverns looking for Kuno's knife. I defeated all the crimson slime dragons but can't progress or leave. The only interactable objects of note, are the chestplate which spawned the armoured slime and the slime plants in the corner that can't be passed.
You need to interact with the wooden planks that are over to the left. Then go over to the big tentacle plants on the right.
Ah, thank you. I had interacted with it at some point but other than the flavour text nothing had happened but it worked this time.
Donno if it's only me or else. In the Gallery for bandit hideout, I cannot wear the slave suit from the purple case.
Anyway! Great job! Definitely it's the best new year gift I get!
How to get the tree to light the waterfall? I looked but couldn't find it.:()
Teleport to the "jungle campsite". Keep going upwards and to the right.
Once you reach the top of the waterfall, go to the left and jump across some stones in the river.
Hope that helps.
I would like to know if there will be a Russian version of the game?
Since a volunteer was involved in the translation, and suddenly he left the "team" if you can call it that
All translations are done by kind volunteers so we can't promise anything I'm afraid.
We'll try and contact the person who did the previous Russian translation. But we cannot guarantee it.
This is my answer: Ringo and I will make Russian translation only after all the bugfixes. Right now we are getting acquainted with the update. Be patient for a while.
Hi, I am wondering why there isn't gallery/memories in my room anymore after the update? Did it move to somewhere else or is it a bug?
You need to complete all the new content before the gallery will reappear.
Hello dear developer, I am a Chinese player and am communicating with you in broken English, you may not know how many of your game lovers we have here, thank you for the gift
One thing is that some of us who are not proficient in English can't fully enjoy the updated content, so I wonder if there are plans to update the Chinese?
There are plans for a Chinese translation in the near future. We will make an announcement when it is completed.
es muy divertido
Finally thank you sooi much ive been waiting months for this.
