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?
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!
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.
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?
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!
What do you need to do to get “keychains” while fishing? Luck?
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.
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
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
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!
Are there any plans for chastity content in this game? thank you :>
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!
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.
Can someone help me? I've now played the Fortress Quest, which allows me to go to the swamp, but I can't get there directly. I tried to get to the wizarding camp before going to the marshes, but as soon as I got to the wizarding camp I was told there was not enough time and to set out directly from home during the day. What am I missing?
Finally, the game is really fun. Look forward to the Chinese translation and the new story being released soon.
You need to travel to the Swamplands specifically from the "travel menu". It's after the Stream and Savannah in the list.
Also a machine translation Chinese version can be downloaded. It's called "CN / JP version". If you use your itch.io account you should be able to download it without being charged additional money.
Thank you for your help. By the way, where am I supposed to find the Serpent Chiefess, the mission says it's in the ruins north of the trapper lair, but I can't find it.
On the left side of the swamp, take a boat with scissors, prepare for the battle, and after completion she will return to the swamp camp
I'm sorry to find that I asked questions, and I'm now the henchmen who have rescued the snake clan, who have filled his reputation. Now my task is the barrier of light in the fortress and the matriarch of the snake clan, but I have no idea about both.
Also, I haven't started to accumulate the reputation of a wizard (the one who can remove tattoos), does it matter?
I went to the clan leader after I finished meet Wizard. I don't know if there is any connection between them.
How can I obtain these four accessories ?
If anyone knows how to have them I would be grateful
Thanks, are you able to upload the CSV for me to download? I'll be happy to upload it here.

plyers need to remember the appearance of each material. that s not ez
true dude it’s been a real pain to remember all these complicated item names
(especially for those who don’t use English as their main language…)
i feel the storage place is too small ,the materials needed to make an item require a lot of space,spoil the fun of collecting,
There is a BUG in the berry bushes ,if i interval is too long to collect berry ,the number of berry are so much(50) ,berry will full my pocket.I cant remove berry to storage ,becaus storage only 20 space.And i find another BUG at berry bushe's add operation and wipe off operaton.When I click wipe off button,my backpack increases the number of berry I want to wipe off.So i have some suggestions.First,add space of storage ,the player can chooes how many berry they want from the berry cluster
is there a way to save the game? I've been playing for about an hour and there hasn't been a single save function. Hate to have to redo everything all over again every time I open the game
Nvm i had the wrong pc version downloaded and the save function finally showed up on my bed
Hello, I seem to be stuck at the part where I need to find a way to bypass the barrier of the interloper fortress. The game says '' I should move my seartch to another locale for now, like the Swamplands''. I defeated all of the snakefolk guys there, and bees, but I still have no idea what I am supposed to do, any help?
You're looking for a schematic inside the serpentfolk's base to make 'flimsy shears'. You can use them to explore new areas of the swamp.
goty
下一章的更新有具体的时间嘛，我已经迫不及待
cant get the clue about norther glistering stream that kivu cant jump on TwT
That place isn't accessible that way. You'll need to go through the Decaying Complex nearby instead.
I finished the game, and it's fire! I can't wait for the second act. To all the people reading the comments to decide whether to play: trust me, it's worth it. The story is great, and the gameplay experience is amazing!
U still reading
-My granny called, she said, Travvy, you work too hard
I'm worried you forget about me
BALL BALL BALL
Thanks so much for playing, and for the endorsement! Very much appreciated.
Make sure to tell your folks you love 'em, you only get one family.
I've put so many hours into this game already. I jumped into this to have a hot fetish game with all the kinks I like, and ended up with that AND a game I grind hours into for its actual gameplay and story!
I have to say, I love it and I can't wait for Act 2. I will say though, I am just about stumped on what I believe to be the final boss in the Fortress. Man just BOPS me, even when I go in with full healing supplies, I end up burning a lot of those just getting to him. Do the devs or anyone else happen to have any suggestions? I keep the "crown" on, but what am I missing besides that? Just "get good"?
Thanks a lot for the kind words, and for playing the game as long as you have!
For the final boss and area, it's really important to get good at dodging. I would recommend the blue tonics to help in that department. Don't forget about eating food that buffs your abilities too, not just healing items. Finally, the boss has strong attacks but they are launched at fairly regular timing. Try your best to learn his timings, and dodge in and out as you strike!
I loved the game can't wait for the next act to come out. Wouldn't mind paying for separate acts tbh. I feel like creators run themselves ragged by promising the world and then getting burnt out. For $8.99US honestly wouldn't mind paying separately for chapters installed in my opinion. Artdecade did the same thing where they didn't charge for multiple chapters of 'memory leak' but I feel the progress is a bit slow and there isn't financial gain after completing those chapters to keep momentum.
I felt like there should have been an option to grapple or seduce and I felt like "giving in" was considered a bad option instead of making it an optional relief or dominating enemies to reduce lust build up like COC (corruption of champions) or 'Oh So Hero'. I adore games like this and feel there aren't enough of them out there. Thank you so much for making you game <3
Thanks a lot for playing, and for the encouraging words! We're evaluating how we wanna handle our projects moving forward this year, and if we're ready to take the plunge to gamedev as a job and not just a hobby. We'll let everyone know how we decide to play it.
For now, thanks again for playing and for the feedback!
For the love of god I cant get past the stupid cave boss. Someone send help. I can't use the shortbow. Someone send help I'm banging my head against the wall here.
EDIT: Nevermind. I just beat it. God, that was satisfying, like dropping the world's biggest shit.
I'd recommend you use Translate++ and learn how to use the software for the moment, as the game_messages.csv is for CN / JP for the moment.
- RegalBuster
Translator++ uses a different patching method (doesn’t use the csv) and is a hard overwrite of the game files, so you’ll have to distribute the output files yourself, apologies! We’ll let you know when we have more language slots available.

So I've played both of yall's games and im noticing performance issues with prowler, and I know its probably my old laptop but I can run Grove with a good 30 frames but on prowler I can't get it past 10. I don't know anything about tech at all but I noticed Grove used alot more of my gpu than prowler does, could that be an issue with my poor performance? I just wanna be able to fully play prowler because yall did an amazing job.
We appreciate the compliments and the desire to want to play our game.
As for your performance issues... it seems to be related to the nwjs framework the game runs on, and its compatibility or lack of with older laptops.
It's not an ideal solution but the best thing we can recommend is downloading the itch.io launcher, and using it to play an older version of Prowler. Maybe try v0.113, or v0.108 and see it that performs any better for you
Sorry for the late response, So i used the launcher for the older version and all it did when I click launch was load some things and not do anything. I'm not sure if I'm doing anything wrong but shown in the pic there's 3 things of the game and none of them are doing anything. What could I do to fix this?
Whoa! Uh, yeah, so long story short RPG Maker games don't like when you have more than one instance running, and it seems like you have a bunch of them all open at once, not closing properly for one reason or another. Don't fear though, a few people have had this issue.
I would recommend, cliché as it sounds, just shutting down and restarting your computer to clear out all these other instances, and then just try again.
You download the version of the game in the language you want to play. We have English, Chinese and Japanese.
Buy it from the serpentfolk in the swamplands, once you ally yourself with them.
I played the demo and enjoyed it. I just have one question: Is there a gallery of some sort for capture/grapple scenes? The demo didn't seem to have one.
There's a gallery available when you complete the game, with all the content in it regardless of if you saw it in-game or not.
Thank you
