First of all, I absolutely recommend this game for the sheer amount of care and quality work put into it. Definitely a top notch NSFW game along with Grove and it’s worth every penny. Overall, there’s a tremendous increase in content from the demo.
It took me around 16 hours to finish everything (going out of my way to do side objectives and reloading multiple times after intentionally losing to enemies).
Most of the issues I experienced were already addressed by the hotfixes. The only glaring ones right now would be occasional scene overflowing in the gallery and Kivuli’s sprite being rarely mismatched (e.g. precum sprite when he’s not erect, the vine CG in the gallery has him flaccid with vines and excitement particles positioned around the erect sprite, etc.) for whatever reason.
I do wish that Prowler eventually adapts Grove’s gallery system (if possible) though because right now, IMO, for example, traps’ gallery feels “broken” and overall there’s some flavor text during grapples/walking around with latchers, etc. that the current gallery doesn’t quite reflect.

Hey Just finished playthrough 1! I really enjoyed it it was very good! I was surprised with how many systems were in the game and how long it was. I don't really have many complaints besides near the end of the game it can be kind of confusing how to proceed as the Rep system was introduced as more of an optional thing and not only thing but it just takes a good chunk of grinding and just going back into the 3rd area over and over again before you can actually beat the game. But that's about my only complaint! It's a good excuse to get some nice armor and cosmetics at the very least as well. The game is basically everything I wanted it to be! Some standout features: I really liked all the varieties of looks Kivu can get due to all the armor and statuses, there was a surprising variety of weapons! I was very surprised when I saw I could replace the claw, there was also a lot more npcs with cool designs than I was expecting as well!
Getting ready to do the next playthrough with the special bonus thing on and totally not losing to everything intentionally. ;P
Oh don't worry I'm sure that it will! Considering the 1st playthrough was my "good boy" playthrough I basically avoided all the kinky stuff, I didn't even look at entire systems (The disenchanting/accessory binding stuff) plus I didn't 100% the game either so I'm sure I'll wander into some new things I didn't even find in the first playthrough!
I was curious about something though are you guys planning on working on Grove? Or are you going to focus on Prowler as it is a paid product? Or maybe you're just going to jump in between them whenever the inspiration hits for either? Note that I don't mind either way! I'm just curious, seeing anything from you is great!
Could you please inform me of the updates made to the “v0.106” version of the game?
May I ask again, how long will the subsequent updates take? Are game saves from different versions interchangeable?
I’m not sure if this is a product of the software or truly my computers age, but when I engage in combat, the game lags excessively, almost making combat unplayable. Is that anything you were aware of? Or is it just a “me” problem?
Question; is it a normal bug for the serrated blade scrap to disappear from the inventory when you escape the serpent captivity? Is there a way to fix it?
I got poacher arm coverings after fleeing from the holding site (the place where I got captured in mission to rescue Garth). However, unlike the metal collar and nipple rings, the arm coverings do not appear in my arm gear section. Does this mean I am unable to unequip them no matter what? I like that piece of rubber though.
They are considered an "underlayer". You will find a person who can help you unequip them a bit later in the game, but you MAY need to remove other things before they can remove underlayers.
Back again with another bug I'm afraid. For the record this game is fantastic and I am having a blast! Anyway, I was brought to climax by a rouser flower but at the same time defeated by an insect. Upon respawning back in my camp my speed was still reduced to the speed while you climax. I resolved it by triggering climax at another rouser plant afterwards it returned to normal.
This is one of the best NSFW games I've played on here, the gameplay loop of gathering and crafting/upgrading is engaging (which can be kind of rare in NSFW games imo, super smart choice making this an ARPG) and the spicier content is PEAK.
There are some nitpicks about hitboxes and glitches but considering the number of hotfixes already put out and the price-to-content ratio they're honestly negligible. This could already be a full game by itself so I'm floored there'll be two more acts! Obviously there's no rush, but I'm curious about your plans, do you plan on releasing smaller updates that'd eventually add up to an Act 2 and 3, or releasing 2 and 3 all at once sort of like Act 1?
Thanks for the reply. Well, then I guess a suggestion/feedback would be to have a few instances where the player is not in such situation, maybe something consensual with a NPC in the future.
during the quick time events, i hit a and d / left and right quickly, but i neve succeed. I might've missed the instructions, is there something else to do?
If you can save it anytime and anywhere, I want to see the BOSS defeat plot CG, every time I am defeated, I have to start from scratch, and the collected material is gone.It's not as convenient as the GROVE game.
I do have one question so far, I of course unlocked the first vendor, then saved the companion of said vendor, who then went away and promised to come back certain days. I've spent probably 2 in-game weeks now and nobody ever came by, is there a specific place the vendor appears that I'm missing?
I'm enamored with it. There's issues, but the kinks are right up my alley. A few ideas:
- I'd imagine the UX problems like the menus or friction around crafting are due to stretching the RPGmaker engine to it's limit. Have you ever thought about switching to Godot? (Big stretch but I'd offer my coding skills for free.)
- I understand that the extraction mechanics are there for a good reason, but since the crafting is rather frustrating perhaps breaking all of your armor when you lose instead would be a better choice? As it stands I avoid equipping anything if I'm going out into a new area, as I have no idea what I could encounter.
- It feels like early game storage space is painfully small.
Other than that, I love it. The art is consistent, makes most other adult games simply pale in comparison, and the way the bad ends are handled seems to be on my exact wavelength. I can't stress it enough, the art and writing combine wonderfully, the density of each scene is perfect, and the dialogue never gets cringy, or takes itself too seriously, or not enough. Keep doing what you're doing, it's beautiful and I can't wait to see what comes next.
Why can't I get the barrels again? I lost the pass at some point, so I can't plant those materials. I'm completely stuck. I wasted my time at level 11. I can only start a new game
Where is the fisherman vendor? I am currently stuck at upgrading my residence. I don't have a bucket to water the trees and can't get any branches. I don't know if I can play the rest of the story.
Where can I find the Dyed Fabric Sheet? I got some from old camp, but I don't have enough weight to carry them ,so I just burn them. Now I can't set up my camp.
I seem to have a bug where I got captured by the blue lizard, saw the lizard-slime-suit scene, and ever since all enemies are white and unmoving, and I cannot melee. I can still shoot spines, but enemies seem invulnerable, yet uninteractable.
This persists through save/load, too.
I am on 1.01 still, however, unsure if this has already been patched in a newer version.
Edit: I also ened up losing the bucket from the stream early on, is there another one I can get or craft?
If you're loading a save where it's already an issue, it's not going to magically fix it. You need to return to a save before it happened, and the current hotfix should PREVENT it from happening again.
You need to create some Flimsy Shears (the schematic is in the serpentfolk's lair). With them, you can cut through a pathway to the south-west of the lair!
(to the left of the 'main' swamp room, where the title and music appear)
We're sorry, this is a bug we're working to fix. Please update your game to v0.104, and if you are still having issues, please be patient. We are working on additional fixes.
I cannot get over how absolutely gorgeous this game is! I'm a few hours in and I am loving it! Very fun, love the characters and designs! And also the sound details, it's just a very pleasing experience! Fantastic work so far, keep it up! <3
I'm really enjoying this game, but I have a big problem.... How do I open the Interloper fortress barrier? Also how do I get a trapped friend out of the savannah??
That particular trapped fella can't be saved unfortunately...
As for the fortress, you need an item from elsewhere. You want to go to the swamplands now, and follow the questline for the serpentfolk. The culmination of that questline will get you a way inside the fortress.
Unfortunately even still the majority of grapple scenes are all bugged. They almost all lead to the slime covered lizard bug scene. Also on .104 in case you are wondering.
Also find it extremely annoying and ridiculous that, as a paying customer, I would need to provide my phone number just to have access to the discord where support is offered.

どうしたらいいでしょう。
Hello! If you have purchased it, please check your spam mail or other inboxes for your receipt from itch.io, there should be a link in there!
When you purchased it, it should have shown a download link on the same page, you may have skipped over it. Let me know if you still have issues.

Can i please ask for help, whete can i find Serrated blade scarp?
The humanoid snake enemies in the swamp drop that, together with Rubbery Strap.
Also, both & Rubbery Slab can be bought/traded for once you unlock reputation & trading with said snake people
Before buy it, can this game being played on a 32.bit computer after the update?

Getting ready to do the next playthrough with the special bonus thing on and totally not losing to everything intentionally. ;P
(Note I beat it on v0.105 just for posterity)
Thanks so much for playing and for your feedback! Hope the second playthrough is fun in its own way, and gives you some interesting discoveries!
Oh don't worry I'm sure that it will! Considering the 1st playthrough was my "good boy" playthrough I basically avoided all the kinky stuff, I didn't even look at entire systems (The disenchanting/accessory binding stuff) plus I didn't 100% the game either so I'm sure I'll wander into some new things I didn't even find in the first playthrough!

I believe the idea will be to alternate between the two, but it's not quite settled yet. We'll let people know when we DO have an idea!
Another possible bug, I tried to disenchant the poacher arm coverings, it said they were addded to the accessory box but I cannot find them in there.
That looks to be bugged, I'll look into a fix soon for that, thank you!

Could you please inform me of the updates made to the “v0.106” version of the game? May I ask again, how long will the subsequent updates take? Are game saves from different versions interchangeable?
Game saves are interchangable. Just move the numbered save file you want from 'www' > 'save' folder, over to the NEW version you download.
V0.106 enables a crafting recipe that was impossible to make before.
We don't know how long subsequent updates will take.
Thank you very much for your answer. I’m looking forward to the update of your game ‘grove’.
good job
are the merchants supposed to show up again? i did the quest and got the day thing but theyve never shown up
LMAO NEVERMIND THEY JUST SHOWED UP
I’m not sure if this is a product of the software or truly my computers age, but when I engage in combat, the game lags excessively, almost making combat unplayable. Is that anything you were aware of? Or is it just a “me” problem?
Have you downloaded the latest path, v0.105 or v0.106? We've done some optimising on our end as best we can with this update.
Also just check you're not running the game on a USB stick because that causes big performance problems
Question; is it a normal bug for the serrated blade scrap to disappear from the inventory when you escape the serpent captivity? Is there a way to fix it?
we'll investigate on our end, but for right now there's no fix, you'll just have to find more or fight more of the enemies for it.
Thanks!
Question: i don't know if someone already ask this but, will this game be available outside of itch.io like steam?
We've no current plans in the near future, no.
I got poacher arm coverings after fleeing from the holding site (the place where I got captured in mission to rescue Garth). However, unlike the metal collar and nipple rings, the arm coverings do not appear in my arm gear section. Does this mean I am unable to unequip them no matter what? I like that piece of rubber though.
They are considered an "underlayer". You will find a person who can help you unequip them a bit later in the game, but you MAY need to remove other things before they can remove underlayers.
Back again with another bug I'm afraid. For the record this game is fantastic and I am having a blast! Anyway, I was brought to climax by a rouser flower but at the same time defeated by an insect. Upon respawning back in my camp my speed was still reduced to the speed while you climax. I resolved it by triggering climax at another rouser plant afterwards it returned to normal.
Ah, yeah... a bit of a fringe case but that makes sense. We'll try and fix as many of these examples as we can, so thank you for the bug report.
There is a glitch that causes me to lose everything after I leave the cave after the lizard boss fight, just like I got defeated.
Apparently, if I entered the defeated area and left, the game will think I lost and didn't pick up my equipment no matter what.
Thank you for the report, we're going to try and fix these tomorrow (developer is asleep right now)!
This is one of the best NSFW games I've played on here, the gameplay loop of gathering and crafting/upgrading is engaging (which can be kind of rare in NSFW games imo, super smart choice making this an ARPG) and the spicier content is PEAK.

Obviously there's no rush, but I'm curious about your plans, do you plan on releasing smaller updates that'd eventually add up to an Act 2 and 3, or releasing 2 and 3 all at once sort of like Act 1?
Are all CGs based on me losing? Is there anything I can get that does not involve deliberate defeat?
Well, you could get accidentally defeated or stumble into a trap...
But to the question of content, all of it involves the player character being submissive / receiving, yes.
Thanks for the reply. Well, then I guess a suggestion/feedback would be to have a few instances where the player is not in such situation, maybe something consensual with a NPC in the future.
during the quick time events, i hit a and d / left and right quickly, but i neve succeed. I might've missed the instructions, is there something else to do?
There are two types of quick-time events.
When you see a bar, with a thin line that crosses left to right, you need to press "E" with good timing.
When you see one that shows a left and right arrow flashing, you want to press a and d ALTERNATELY, so "left, right, left, right". Don't just mash.
Hopefully that helps a little. And if you haven't already please make sure to update your game to v0.105
If you can save it anytime and anywhere, I want to see the BOSS defeat plot CG, every time I am defeated, I have to start from scratch, and the collected material is gone.It's not as convenient as the GROVE game.
If you deliberately want to lose, maybe you should leave your valuable items at home before you go.
There is also a gallery at the end of the game that you may enjoy freely, with no need to unlock hints like Grove.
I do have one question so far, I of course unlocked the first vendor, then saved the companion of said vendor, who then went away and promised to come back certain days. I've spent probably 2 in-game weeks now and nobody ever came by, is there a specific place the vendor appears that I'm missing?
Please update to latest version v0.105 we believe we might have solved this issue.
Yes, said update fixed it, thanks!
Awesome, glad to hear!
This might sound dumb, sorry if it is, but how do I drop things? My inventory and chests are full lol
Pouch, Utility, Item Burner
Ooo thank you :3!

Thank you, thank you, for the feedback and the praise! Really appreciated on both accounts! :)
Why can't I get the barrels again? I lost the pass at some point, so I can't plant those materials. I'm completely stuck. I wasted my time at level 11. I can only start a new game
Not true. You can buy buckets from a fisherman vendor, and find one in the Savannah.
Where is the fisherman vendor? I am currently stuck at upgrading my residence. I don't have a bucket to water the trees and can't get any branches. I don't know if I can play the rest of the story.
You can gather ironbush branches and bark from the Stream locale still, you're not prevented.
The fisherman vendor is in a cave. You need 3 rope to descend from a pier to reach the cave.
Okay, thank you. Is there any other way to enter your Discord? I tried more than ten times but couldn’t join.
i can't attact the final boss and he can't attact me , our attact will miss and pass through
ask for a truce
But thank you for the bug report, we'll look into it! Please be patient with us for a little while...!
I want to know how long the update frequency of the game is expected₍˄·͈༝·͈˄*₎◞ ̑̑
Sorry, we have no idea right now...!
I have already cleared the customs, and I want to play the following content. It's so fun ˃ʍ˂
Where can I find the Dyed Fabric Sheet? I got some from old camp, but I don't have enough weight to carry them ,so I just burn them. Now I can't set up my camp.
And I can't find Wet Clay Clump too.
I got enough resources for shelter, but I don't know where can I build it.
To build the shelter look for yellow-colored glowbugs around the camp and interact with them
为什么即使在我救完商人后商人也没有在对应的日子出现在我的营地里呢，我甚至没有见到过关于好感度标识的板子
This is a known bug that we're working to fix right now. Please update your game with the v0.104 hotfix when possible.
We will keep working on more improvements over time.
The new journey is very interesting! When will the machine translation of Chinese be provided?
It may be a week or two. We want to fix all the bugs and errors with the game first.
Thank you for your patience!
Ah! That's a good news! Thank you!
There are stressors in resource management.
First, it's a little uncomfortable that it can't be linked to the resources of the box in the base when making something,
In particular, when the capacity is insufficient, the game's progress is exponentially slow.
I seem to have a bug where I got captured by the blue lizard, saw the lizard-slime-suit scene, and ever since all enemies are white and unmoving, and I cannot melee. I can still shoot spines, but enemies seem invulnerable, yet uninteractable.
This persists through save/load, too.
I am on 1.01 still, however, unsure if this has already been patched in a newer version.
Edit: I also ened up losing the bucket from the stream early on, is there another one I can get or craft?
There are other buckets you can buy from a certain merchant, or one more that can be found in the wilds.
Also yes we think we have resolved this issue, so please update to v0.104 at your earliest convenience.
It is definitely not resolved. It seems to happen nearly 100% with grapples.
If you're loading a save where it's already an issue, it's not going to magically fix it. You need to return to a save before it happened, and the current hotfix should PREVENT it from happening again.
Where can I find the matriarch plz——I was wondering in my game about two hours(sob)
You need to create some Flimsy Shears (the schematic is in the serpentfolk's lair). With them, you can cut through a pathway to the south-west of the lair!
(to the left of the 'main' swamp room, where the title and music appear)
Thanks!
Sometimes, when you are captured by a desert tribe in a completely unrelated area, you are forced to wear the outfit that you were wearing...
I had already removed the outfit from the shaman...
My item...!!
We're sorry, this is a bug we're working to fix. Please update your game to v0.104, and if you are still having issues, please be patient. We are working on additional fixes.
Is it possible to continue your progress through a save file from a previous version?
Yes. Just transfer the contents of the 'www' > 'save' folder to your new download and put them in the same place.
I cannot get over how absolutely gorgeous this game is!
I'm a few hours in and I am loving it! Very fun, love the characters and designs! And also the sound details, it's just a very pleasing experience!
Fantastic work so far, keep it up! <3
Thank you, thank you, you're very kind for saying so!
我被困在“女祭司的信任”任务上，我似乎找不到任务中提到的 5 个入侵者或与之相关的任何其他内容。接受任务后，我已经杀死了当前地图上的所有怪物，但它们都不是 5 个入侵者中的任何一个。请帮帮我！任务文本模糊而混乱，通过与女祭司的闲聊，我了解到我需要穿越沼泽，但我已经检查了沼泽中所有可进入的区域，似乎无法穿越它。我到底该去哪里杀这些人呢？我是一名中国玩家，恐怕你听不懂我的话。我用翻译来翻译我的信息，您能提供指南什么的吗？像一只无头苍蝇的感觉真的扼杀了我作为玩家的热情！
The enemies you need to defeat are in the Savannah, by the "fortress". They are dark, with green outlines, and attack with energy blasts.
There should always be about 4 of them outside their fortress! Good luck finding and hunting them!
我该如何完成营地的冥想任务，这是“园丁的礼物”任务的一部分，呃？我只能用 AI 来翻译文本，输出可能会有一些差异。之前的问题已经解决，但新的问题已经出现。
它不是指我的重生点的大树吗？
我已经在露营地周围绕着这棵大树转了好几天，不分昼夜，但我仍然无法触发冥想。请帮助这个孩子。
The meditation does not succeed, this is an intentional part of the story.
You can proceed to the Savannah, find the enemy Fortress, and wear the Gardener Mantle to access the interior and the final part of the game!
I'm really enjoying this game, but I have a big problem.... How do I open the Interloper fortress barrier? Also how do I get a trapped friend out of the savannah??
That particular trapped fella can't be saved unfortunately...
As for the fortress, you need an item from elsewhere. You want to go to the swamplands now, and follow the questline for the serpentfolk. The culmination of that questline will get you a way inside the fortress.
I've since received the emblem from the trapper and I don't know how to get the quest after that...
You should have a Task, to improve your renown with them. It should say what you can do to improve your renown.
(give them Tar Sap or buy latex from them)
Thank you. Thanks to you, the problem has been solved
Unfortunately even still the majority of grapple scenes are all bugged. They almost all lead to the slime covered lizard bug scene. Also on .104 in case you are wondering.
Also find it extremely annoying and ridiculous that, as a paying customer, I would need to provide my phone number just to have access to the discord where support is offered.
is it going to be possible for someone to make a mod to change the pc to a female?
