另外,什么样的弓可以射出骨箭?是我未完成的这把弓吗?我应该从哪里获得剩下的部分呢?

嗨,作者,我被困在一扇绿色的门前,由于游戏中的翻译问题,我无法从任务提示中获得更多线索!接下来我该怎么办?

Is it normal for the game to lag extremely?

I can't even move the character. QQ
The plot is normal but the movement is extremely lag

Make sure you're not playing on an external drive / USB

ive found every enemy besides the lurkers. any idea where i can find them?. also im stuck on the final boss and am having trouble crafting better armour. is there anyway to save before the fight or do i have to go through the entire stealth section first?

I don't know where to find the clue about the merchant alliance for the final reputation quest :(

On the west side of the meadow, there are two forks in the road, it should be the upper one that holds the clue

this will have steam?

I feel like an idiot but where do you find scaletree vine? I don't even know if I'm supposed to have found some before the "mini boss" or if I was supposed to beat him with no weapon and vines are in a zone past him or something.

(1 edit) (+1)

You can find Scaletree Vines before the first "miniboss". They're found wrapped around slender trees, trees that are usually stood alone. Make sure to interact with them to gather them!

There's at least two areas they can potentially spawn in before the "miniboss", and some fixed locations will be available after defeating said miniboss too.

Yeah... after making the post I ended up finding 2 in randomized area and then a seed... Now it's water that won't spawn haha.
Thank you for your reply!

(+1)

You're welcome, and good luck finding what you need going forward! There's a fixed location for almost every item out there, it just might be a case of progressing forward

Is there any way to get this accessory set?

(2 edits)

How did you manage to acquire these rags at the start?

(7 edits)

I found the image on one of their social media accounts, specifically on X, and I want to get those accessories for Kiluvi.

What?

(1 edit)

I'm sorry if you don't understand my language is not English, I use a page to translate

Aaa... Got it

Judging by the screenshot, you need to fulfill some condition, and among the files I SEEMED to have found:

"<Disable Dashing>

- Start off with Woven Neck and Woven Unders"

Apparently you need to disable poacher translation...

Tell me whether it helped or not!

(1 edit)

Those rags are in the game yes or no.

Is that a question? Well, yes...

Hey, apologies for the delayed response. That armour set is not available in the current version of Prowler as they were early versions of the latex accessories you can get from the Trappers. The gloves have been reworked into the Holding Area capture gear.

- Regalbuster

Oh... :(

(1 edit)

Well, I have a question: Is there a possibility that the set or something similar will be added later? Honestly, what I like most about the set is the underwear, due to her noticeable bulge, and the stockings.

Is there a way to access a gallery of the scenes without beating the game?

Hello,

Will there be a French patch?

Excuse my English, I'm not very good.


Sorry, we don't have any plans for an French patch at the moment.

Hello teacher, I like your game very much, do you have a Chinese patch pack after purchase?

我刚打开翻译页面,看到有中文版本,请原谅我的英文不好(>人<;)

I have finally palyed through this game, got all the weapons, armors and accessories, except the cooking recepies and fishings, so now I can write a fully review about this game.

I always loved the idea that we have a story with NSFW elements, and even this is only the ACT I, I thought it is going to be a few hours of gameplay. I was wrong XD Well if you wanna fully get everything in this game, then it could even take days, perhaps weeks to get them all.

The story is really entertaining, always curious what places I can go and need to go, which people I will find, what kind of enemies I will encounter, loved it, every second of it.

And since it has NSFW elements, of course I always wanted to see what the new enemies will do, how many scenes we can get, and I was not disappointed. Though I didn't know there will be a great reward at the end of the game, so it was kinda useless from me to discover them all XD (And also thank you so much for the gallery, it is indeed a nice reward~)

The game mechanics were flawless, easy to understand, the fighting system is balanced, so in gameplay wise, it was all perfect for me, no complains here.

Now for the "bad" things which aren't that bad, it's just small things that bothers me. The cooking. I don't have the patience (nor the energy and brain) to figure out which items can be cooked. It is easier to put only 1 ingredient, but when I unlocked 2 where you could mix things, that was the point where I noped out. Maybe it would be easier if we have all the recipe, but instead of ???? we can see the ingredients, but with a color of grey perhaps, meaning that we didn't do that recipe yet.

The locations of items and fishes. Several times I had troubles finding specific items I needed for crafting. For example it was pure luck to find out that this spring thingie can be found in the Savannah, or the Pouchers can drop Resonance crystals and I was like "THEY DROP THIS AS WELL????". So yeah, it would be helpful if we can get an information about items location or what items the enemies drops to save precious time instead of wandering around and trying our lucks XD

SUGGESTION. I like the idea that this game is about mind controlling/will breaking and thus leads us into sexual interactions, but what if Kivuli can have romance with his own will? For exmaple, people who visits our camp, maybe a romance option can be a thing? It would be interesting in my opinion.

Or perhaps instead of defeating the enemy, maybe Kivuli can also grope enemies and defeat them with the power of lust. Would be a big game changing ;)

Overall, I give this ACT I for now a strong, solid 9 out of 10. Really enjoyed the game, can't wait to see how this story will continue in ACT II, but when it comes out, I WILL play it for sure.

Thank you so much for this game, thank you for your hard work, keep up the great work, and don't forget to REST and SAVE!

(+2)

Hah, thanks a lot for the really long and positive review! If you haven't already, we'd love if you'd drop a star review too.

Glad to hear you found so much of the game to be enjoyable and entertaining! And thank you for your feedback and suggestions too, all very reasonable stuff, and we can only hope to improve when next we continue development!

It's just the start of Kivuli's journey, so maybe he'll develop some more with his relationships and abilities...

For now though, thanks again for playing and for the kind words!

No worries, I already left a 5 star rating :D

I can't seem to get the game to run without studdering. I tried to do the nw.js replacement suggestion, but I get an error when I try to launch the renamed game.exe.

If you're getting an error message, please share a screenshot or type out exactly what it says. We may be able to assist you.

(1 edit)

"Error loading extension". Failed to load extension from: prowler-windows. Required value 'name' is missing or invalid.

I used nw.js v0.97.0 x64.

Ah, that's a bit of a new one... here's our best guess for now:

Download nw.js v 0.48 from here https://dl.nwjs.io/ 

extract the folder, then drag and drop all the files from the 'nwjs-v0.48' folder into your Prowler directory (where Prowler.exe is). Replace anything it asks for 

Delete 'Prowler.exe / game.exe', then rename the new 'nw.exe' (assuming you're on windows) to game.exe and run it.

When run, the game still stutters. I really don't know what could be the issue. :(

Would you mind letting us know the specs of the system you're trying to play the game on? So we can try and figure out if this is a hardware or software issue?

I am also having this problem

I still haven't found a way to fix it, which really sucks...

I love this game, the artstyle's amazing, the story is great, mechanics are pretty cool too! I just wish there's some settings for optimization. I bet it's a me issue, but every time I attack (and various other things that happen) the game studders. So fighting for me is harder and I try to avoid it as much as possible. I still manage to get through a good chunk of the game though!

Thanks for the praise, and for playing through our game despite the performance issues you're having. We really appreciate you giving it a go!

You're welcome! You guys are awesome! May I ask if you could add some optimization settings sometime in the future?

We'll try our best, though admittedly RPG Maker isn't the easiest thing to add options to... probably doesn't help we do a lot of things with the engine it's not necessarily meant to do, hah.

But we'll try our best to improve and make things more playable as we go, of course

I understand! Thank you

Hello, may I ask if there is a need to pay again if the game updates to subsequent chapters after purchasing the first chapter? (My native language is not English, but I use translation software. I apologize if I have offended you.)

Thanks for your question. We're hoping to make Prowler a one-time payment for all subsequent chapters.

What happens after defeating the final boss of the fortress? I know the gallery is unlocked but I don't have everything. I'm missing things and I don't know what to do next.

The final boss is the final boss... that's the end of the game for now. Thanks for playing through to completion!

If you're missing things, it's stuff that maybe you can craft or cook from dropped items. It's not necessary for the game but something to mess around with if you'd like.

I had a glitch when I found the fisherman after going to the swamp and making the alliance with the snakes, then suddenly they started attacking me and the tribe vendors weren't there, they disappeared.

Maybe check if you still have "Trapper's Amity" set to "show".

Is there a way to open the locked doorway in the decaying complex on the glistening stream map?

I'm also missing the weapon below the weighted throwing knives, the gear below the rubbery headplate and the resource below the light bowgun frame.

I think I have played through the entire game, but maybe I have missed something.

Could you please tell me how to obtain this item?

Does purchasing ACT 1 mean i'd need to pay for ACT 2 whenever that happens?

I really like this game, so after trying out the demo version, I decided to buy it. But when I unzipped 'Prowler: ACT 1-Windows CN/JP' and ran it, this situation occurred:

Error:EPERM:operation not permitted,open 'D:\software\games\prowler-windowsjpcn\www\save\persistent.rpgsave' 

I tried downloading a non CN/JP version and found that it could run normally, but the "CN/JP" version exhibited the behavior shown in the picture. This is too bad because I heavily rely on localization, and I am completely clueless about the English text of  the original game  : (

(I promise to be very humble when typing these words, but translation software may distort my tone and meaning)

Hey! This error indicates that you don't have permissions to run it from that location. Try playing Prowler from your desktop or from a folder where you know you have administrative permissions.

Oh my god, this worked, thank you so much!

Will there ever be a steam version of the game?

(2 edits)

After beating this game, and putting 35 hours of play + 5 hours of the demo, I can honestly say that the work put in was a labor of love. I've played games like this before, as well as other quality "Adult" games, and I REALLY enjoyed playing this one. The controls are very good, the action is fun, and the final boss is tough but beatable. I like the story that's being told, and the NPCs that aid you are generally helpful. You can tell that there was a lot of thought that went into this game. Even though it feels a bit short, the extra grinding you can do to get items for gear or gather healing items is not annoying at all. I'm sure that there will be some improvements in the next Act, and I really look forward to seeing what comes next. I think my favorite thing is the Bonus Secret unlocked when you beat the game. This is a very nice reward for those who take the time to play and want to see everything.

Keep up the fantastic work!

Thanks so much for playing the game through to completion, it's great to know you enjoyed the whole experience so much!

We'll do our best to keep on improving for the next act! 'til then, thanks again for the praise!

Absolutely fantastic game. Genuinely one of the best adult games I've ever played. Such a cohesive and engaging package, that is not only really enjoyable as an adult game, but just a fun game in general. Looking forward to Act 2.

Thanks a lot for the very kind praise! :)

(+1)

So, I just wanted to ask... How can I make the game run properly? It's so slow and jittery that I can't win any fights or break free of any traps because it's a slideshow for all of that. Every movement and attack lags like I'm playing an MMO on dialup... Any suggestions?

(+1)

Are you playing the game off of an external harddrive or USB stick? That can cause a rather severe performance bottleneck.

That did the trick! Thanks!

Deleted 28 days ago

Yes, just luck.

How do I activate the scene with Garth? (After he's been saved ofc)

After saving him, the scene may occur at night, but only if you don't resist, or already let him grab you during the rescue...

The scene will also be viewable in the end-game gallery if you missed it.

(+3)

Will there be like console commands or cheat for those who just want to goof around 

We haven't got any plans for that ourselves... but there's ways and means out there if it's something you want to do.

got it

(1 edit) (+2)

Are there plans for a walk-through or guide? 

How do I equip arrows? I keep trying to but it wont work, slinger armor will work however

(+1)

Make sure you have a bow, and have arrows in your inventory.

Open your pouch, select the arrows you want to use with Enter.

Then exit your pouch and make sure to press R to load your arrows up!

As a small caveat, you can't load your weapons inside your tent. And some arrow types require a more sturdy bow to be used.

Huh, I could have sworn I had tried that and it did not recognize it before.

guess I missed a step

Hi, just wanted to say that I had a lot of fun. Ofc Kivu is really cute and the... hmm.. "content" is really well done, but the gameplay is really solid and it's what kept me going all the way to the end. 

Funnily enough I bought the game the same day that Avowed came out, and is it a crime to say I had more fun with this than the new AAA Obisidian RPG? You've got a really solid game loop going with the expeditions system (if a little grindy at times), and I dare say, a real talent for storytelling and worldbuilding. I started playing for the content, but stayed for the game. 

Looking forward to chapter 2! 

(+4)(-2)

Are there any plans for chastity content in this game? thank you :>

(+1)

Hello, what is the difference between the full version (Act 1) and the demo? I haven't played the demo since version 0.11 and wanted to know if it was worth buying it as it currently is.

Thank you!

(+2)

The demo contains the first hour or so of the game, the story introduction and a single destination and one enemy type. 

The full version has several hours more content, two more destinations to visit, a bunch more lewd scenes, the first 'act' of the game's story, a gallery for reviewing scenes, etc.

If you want to give the story a trial, or want to get some practice with the controls before playing, the demo is a good idea. But otherwise, the full act one is a much more content and feature rich experience!

Where is the gallery ? I cant seem to find it

It appears when you complete the game. The game will prompt you to make a save. Load that save, and it'll take you to the gallery.

i cant seem to open the game it just loads and then closes down straight away, have any ideas on what to do?

BUG from a little pile of berries, when i interact with it, it made my pocket full and i cant do anything with it.

Hi, is there any way to delete items in your pouch to make room?

ah yes, press Esc, go to Pouch then go to utility, press item burner and select items to burn, remember the item you burned is lost forever.

Great, thanks for the reply 👍

I've run to a problem that whatever I do I couldn't transfer my old saves to the new update game file, is there something I can do to get my old save transfer to the new update?

from v0.116 to v0.118 to be exact

Please try this, and let us know if you are still having trouble.

Thx, it's working now, really appreciate your help!

How do I get Wet Clay Clump? Can find it anywhere. Also hope we can craft staffs from the storage box directly in the future.

Wet Clay Clump can be found in the Stream locale. Look for greyish squares on the floor in the southern areas.
