The cg of the patriarch tied up in the room at the beginning is great too, but it doesn't seem to have been included at the end of the game?
Sorry about that. We're going to try and get better about including 'cutscene lewds' in our galleries in the future.
Just finished the game and absolutely loved it! I’m already looking forward to Act 2. The story is engaging without relying too heavily on NSFW content, which I really appreciate. The gameplay is fun, and the more I played, the more I could feel the love and effort poured into it. There are a few small bugs, but nothing that really bothered me. The only part I didn't enjoy as much was the box-pushing puzzle — the movement felt a bit glitchy at times. Still, thank you for creating such a great game! Voted 5 Star!
Thank you very much for the kind review and the very positive rating, we really do appreciate that! We definitely put a lot of effort into Prowler and it's very validating to have people calling that out :)
It'll be a while before Act 2 is released, but thanks for the interest! Hope we won't disappoint when the time finally comes!
so I love this game its fun and exciting but I found a few things that are a little odd but not game braking
first sweet berry jam is labeled wrong in the recipe book as just berry jam witch is kind of confusing but on the same note it also doesn't say its a ingredient which makes it more confusing
on the same vine stewed honey truffles recipe says just normal swamp truffles when you need cooked swamp truffles so also a little confusing
but yeah that's really all like i said nothing game braking just a little confusing but beyond that i had a lot of fun still missing one recipe and one accessory tho got to keep hunting for that stuff as well as fish
also sorry no periods I'm not the best with grammar
how do i throw item that i dom't want away?
Utility, Item Burner.
Hello, is this the full Version of the whole game or just chapter 1?
It's just chapter 1, though it's a good chunk of content still, should last you 5+ hours!
The game is great, but I encountered a bug(?) in my playthrough once I reach the swamp, after the trapper scenes, my game started to get fps drops like crazy, I tried to reinstall but that didn't work.
What did work is changing the option for the sprite to either be hidden or shown, changing from one to the other ends up making the framerate back to normal(at least that is what worked for me), and I'm making this comment just in case somebody has the same frame drop issue, just tinker with your portrait option until the frames go back to normal.
That being said this has been one of the rpgs I played so far, both with the spritework, voice acting, and the sound effects.
*video is for the example of the bug
Thank you for the very kind words, and also for the bit of troubleshooting you did. This might indeed be able to help us squeeze a bit more performance out of the game.
HIIII, THE GAME IS SUPER GOOD BUT I JUST STARTED AND ITS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND SOME THINGS FOR ME 🥹 BUT I LOVE ITT.
I have A question, how much does it takes to finish the game?
Do I get to see the old chief or the other parts of the clan in the future?
(I'm just in the beginning so idk if I will, but I'm scared that all my old clan will be died 💔)
hey so my version of prowler i buyed is empty. like there no files inside anymore outside of image... help?
all are empty outside of www which have more empty foulder, the only not empty have images but the game itself is just gone.
If you're still having problems, please try redownloading the game. Might be that your download was incomplete, interrupted, or corrupted.
If this issue persists, let us know what version of the game you were trying to download and we can investigate further.
re-installed, but i lost my old progression. Given what i seen from other people, there don't seem to be any tool to force progression or give resources, so i'm gonna have to redo it all manually. Still no idea what happened, i'm gonna blame my pc, prob whiped the files for some reason...
开头族长的战败cg也很good，但是在目前的结尾cg收入里面我并没有找到....
Hello, do you a list of all accessories to unlock please
我要怎么救他？
Interact with the green highlighted machine.
Another box will appear. Push it to block the lasers, and use the control panel to deactivate two more.
哦，搜嘎，谢谢！
Henloo there
When Act 2? :D
The Boss fight is so brutal, wish there was a save right before the actual fight. I'm so close but so far
Hi there, loving the game so far, tho im not sure where to put this or how to bring it to your attention but i ran into a bug just after the first losing scene within the savanna, where my move speed has been locked to the super slow one, even after losing again then being returned back to camp. I even went back, lost twice again to be returned back to camp and my speed is still locked :( what makes it even worse is i didn't think the first time around and i overwrote my current save and kinda ruined it… I lost a lot of progress… is there any kind of quick fix? Or do I have to start again?
有没有办法把DEMO的进度弄过来啊
Translator++ is the software that some of the other translations have been made in. If you want to try, feel free. Just be warned, there's a LOT of text...
Could i ask for free key please? Or perhaps if you upload game on steam i can buy it there.
Where can i use the green key?
Somewhere in the Jungle Holding Site...
Does it has a scene or just a text?
Just text, but you get a new visual for Kivu's model.
After most scenes, the only thing left to do is move on and escape. Maybe, in some cases, it could be done like, if the player doesn't escape in a set time, random events will happen until the green bar fills and then you finally get a game over. This can motivate the player to try to escape faster
Will you update the Russian patch soon?
I need 5 Exploration XP to get to Prowler Camp, but I don't know where to get them... I've already found 4 of the 5, but could you give me the full list? please
Your beginning value is 1, so there are only four 'curios' to find:
One is found in the cave with the 'Spitter' enemies, after defeating their boss.
One is found in the Charger den, in the south-west part of the River.
One is found whilst rescuing the Hawkster Merchant's friend from the 'holding site'.
One is found in the 'dungeon' in the north-west area of the Stream.
Wow ㅋㅋ I couldn't find this and walked around for an hour, thank you so much. It's been a while since I've done this and I forgot how to do it!
Enemy of my enemy. Milestone Destroy 5x Interloper Poachers in the Savannah and bring back 2x Poacher Tatters to Sera-Vasir, so that you might earn her loyalty. 'Matriarch Sera-Vasir does not entirely trust me, thanks to the Inter loper brand upon my chest. I can't entirely blame her misgivings, but taking the fight to them is going to be risky. I should make sure I'm well equipped to fight these otherwor ldly foes. I've currently defeated 0 out of 5. of
Can anyone elaborate on how I can solve this quest?
...not sure what can be further elaborated on that isn't in the quest description.
Defeat 5x Interloper Poachers. They're the shadowy fellas with a green aura. Found in the Savannah locale. There's four of 'em in the north-east, near their fortress.
Bring back 2x Poacher Tatters, which is an item they drop, and give them to Sera-Vasir who gave you this quest.
强烈请求使用更好的汉语翻译，现在游戏的翻译极大影响了正常的游戏体验，这让游戏呈现的质量远远达不到真实的水平
There is a strong plea for a better Chinese translation, and now the translation of the game greatly affects the normal game experience, which makes the quality of the game presentation far from the real level
We understand and sympathise with the desire for a better Chinese translation. Unfortunately, neither of us developers speak Chinese, and we haven't had any luck with other groups wanting to translate the game. We're not professionals and we don't have game publisher groups to offer localisation teams...
Sorry about that. We're very grateful for our multinational audience.
Is it possible for us to contribute to a community translation? Personally I'm eager to help.
We're not aware of any ongoing community translation efforts... so whilst we really appreciate the willingness to help, I think you'd be on your own for now.
If you're part of any Chinese communities that play our games, you're certainly welcome to start a group effort. We'd be very gracious. But we won't pressure you or anyone else.
Sure, I'll figure how it'll work and give it a try~
插眼
Do you plan to submit a Japanese version?
A machine-translated Japanese version is available. When you download the game, look for the file called: "Prowler: Act 1 - Windows CN / JP Version"
Is it possible to get the item "Gardener Mantle (Empowered)"?
will this be updated anytime soon?
The focus is on Grove at the moment, more details will be revealed on our socials.
- RegalBuster
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？
这中文就是机翻……为啥不调成英语看一下呢？ 首先在沼泽（可能是第二张）图的左下有一个房间，进去之后会坐船到另外一个房间，先完成一个解救任务，然后就可以和 Trappers 建交 建交之后和 Trappers 刷满名望，然后 Sera-Vasir 会给你一个钥匙，用来打开另一张图（就是被 Trappers 俘虏之后的房间）里的一个门，在里面可以找到一个面罩，戴着这个去就可以了
已经打完了
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
- RegalBuster
I tried installing and running the game from an M.2 SSD, but the lag during character movement is still the same.
Since cutscenes and dialogues run smoothly, it seems like the slowdown only happens when the player is walking around.
I noticed the game uses a real-time battle system instead of turn-based combat. That might explain why the lag happens only when the player is moving—maybe the battle logic or collision detection is running constantly while walking?
Because I want to provide as much information as possible, I asked ChatGPT to translate this paragraph for me, and the last paragraph is his opinion.
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?
The "lurker" is found in the Glistening Stream locale, in a cave that requires rope to enter.
Better armour can be made by finding recipes in the Savannah, such as a tower right by the fortress entrance.
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.
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!
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?
How did you manage to acquire these rags at the start?
I found the image on one of their social media accounts, specifically on X, and I want to get those accessories for Kiluvi.
What?
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!
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... :(
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＜；）
Download "Translator++"!
老师您好,非常喜欢你的游戏,请问购买后有中文补丁包吗?
