Not any time soon. If you REALLY want to play it... there's JoiPlay or MaldiVes emulators. They're playable, but they both have bugs and performance issues and they don't have our endorsement; don't complain to us if it's not an ideal experience.
Just wanted to let you know of a bug in the Mac version (0.204). When you try to answer the question to enable/disable in-battle grapple voices you receive the attached error.
I believe this is a case of needing to extract the game files first, not running it directly from the archive
There should be some tutorials laying around on the internet... but I think you can just make a new folder on the desktop (call it 'GroveGame', or something along those lines), then open the original downloaded archive until you see the 'Game.app' file and the 'credits.html' file. Drag those out of the archive folder, and put it into your newly created 'GroveGame' folder
I don't think MacOS can edit files when they're archived, hence the need to extract them first and the 'read-only' mention in the error message! Let us know if the above solution works out for you.
Quite confidant! I don't want to say absolutely certain, since we can never be 100% sure, but we're pretty confidant you should be able to go straight into the new content if that's your desire!
Not any time soon. I won't bore you with the technical details, but the game would require some fairly significant asset reworks, downgrades and compression to run well on mobile and be in a state where we can say "yes, this is a version worth playing".
If you REALLY want to play it... there's JoiPlay or MaldiVes emulators. They're playable, but they both have bugs and performance issues and they don't have our endorsement; don't complain to us if it's not an ideal experience.
Equip the slimy black underwear you get from rescuing the ranger from the blue slimes. Then proceed all the way to the east / right, past the green slimes, and this scene will eventually trigger.
You can unlock it on an old save and it'll appear in your current gallery, so don't worry about playing the whole game again.
Eventually the Auxillary division will set up in the top left of the village look around there until you find the tent you get shouted at for looking in.
just finished the latest part of the story, how do I get all the oddities and the last armor set and whatever it is that goes into the personal storage space? (I only got the bun and idk how haha)
If you've reached the north and can't proceed any further, that means you need to go somewhere else.
The game should have teleported you back to the inn. It should have also said a message that you can't go further... and that your new path should be to the south...
But if you somehow missed ALL of that... start from outside the inn. Go down as far as you can. Then go all the way left. All the way out to the cliffside. And at the cliffside, you can go even further south / down.
For the first, you want to get a slime slab from the green slime dragons in the cave. You can do that by letting them grapple you to completion when you have more than 50 STM, and then using the nearby fire...
Take the slime slab back to the wizard at the inn, ask about "oddity", there'll be a scene... and then the slime cast will appear at the blacksmith's place. Interact with it... and the scene will play out.
The second one requires having 10 or more Corruption. You can raise this by getting slimesuited by the slime dragons, just make sure to recover after each one.
Once you have that amount... go to the campsite to the west / left of the inn, and try repeatedly to enter the tent...!
I know i'm a little late but, i'm also struggling getting that second one to work, does this need to happen at a certain point in the game? or can you get it after you finish it?
You need to get it before the Auxiliary Commander's office is finishing being built, whilst he's still using the tent. That is to say, you need to do it before you finish the Slug Den quest.
Pleaae release mobile version of this game i really want to play this game there are few videos of this game are in p*rnhub and couldn't find rest gameplay love the arts and gameplay but i really want to play it on my android
how do you get passed the second computer section? im really stuck because one set of the hollographic floor panels changes way too fast for me to move past them even when sprinting. is that supposed to be happening and am i able to change the speed at which the tiles change color or am i just hard locked out of the rest of the game?
I can assure you we haven't made a situation in which you're just hard locked out of the rest of the game. Do have a little faith in us, haha.
I'm going to assume it's this area that you're struggling with:
If so, you should know that the white spots are safe to stand on. And if you're having trouble navigating to them quickly enough, you can also use mouse-click controls to directly travel to a particular spot.
yeah i finally got passed it after another ten tries using the clicking controls and with always sprinting turned on being sure to save after reaching each safe platform because managing to get the timing right was a real pain. so thanks, i'd kinda forgotten about the mouse-clicking controls until you brought them up lol.
The blue chest clue says "You leave the bandit hideout, but with souvenir in tow... You decide to leave this with another, until they have the necessary tools and amount of time to repair it."
And the clue in the green box in the slime memories says "There is a puddle of green slime sticking to the top of this memory... You see visions of a distant cliffside lake and overbearing black thong on your groin."
It requires you to be caught by the bandit lizards, and then to escape and retrieve your clothes. You'll get some "tatters" that you can take to the blacksmith... and then he'll eventually turn them into a new set of armour for you!
You'd have to go back to an old save in order to unlock this, though... so if you don't wanna go through all the hassle, I can say there'll be an alternative way to acquire this one in the future!
As for the green chest:
You need to be wearing the slimy black underwear, acquired by rescuing the blue-scaled ranger in the forest near the start of the game. So you may also need to go back to an earlier save.
Whilst wearing them, proceed to the East / right, past all the green slimes... until a scene occurs!
You can start a new game, or go back to an old save, and the scenes you unlock will be unlocked in your gallery. So don't worry, you don't need to play the entire game again.
To finish my search for memories, I only need the one that says "Something thick, yet pleasure grapples onto your privates, and the only clear way to remove it... is to submerge."
I went through the game to the end, but I still can’t open this armor set, I’ve already tried everything, and looked in spolers, and still didn’t understand
"dungeon master"? Sorry, I'm not quite sure which one that is. Could you take a screenshot standing in front of the armour set you're missing? I should be able help you when I identify it...
It requires you to be caught by the bandit lizards, and then to escape and retrieve your clothes. You'll get some "tatters" that you can take to the blacksmith... and then he'll eventually turn them into a new set of armour for you!
You'd have to go back to an old save in order to unlock this, though... so if you don't wanna go through all the hassle, I can say there'll be an alternative way to acquire this one in the future!
Then I'll wait, I liked this non-linearity, when you can miss something and just not know about it, it's not so bad. Other games will force you to get this or that item, which kills the second playthrough a bit, but here you can learn something new for the second time, albeit in small things
this is pretty cool, thanks for the tip and good luck
Simply amazing. Really just destroys the stereotype of RPGmaker games. Just finished the story content and I am dying to see more. I will say, and it is a pipe dream, but hearing a female mentioned, even once in the game has me hopeful for some of that content :P but the art and writing is so good that I am thoroughly enjoying the content and genres already present. Can't wait to see what other crazy stuff gets added.
Thank you very much for all the kind compliments towards our game! Always nice to know we can rise above some of the RPGmaker junk that's out there, and here's hoping we can continue to impress with what comes in the future, too!
As for females... I'm afraid you shouldn't get your hopes up for female sexual content. There MIGHT be a lady NPC in there, but all the lewd stuff is gonna be focused on dudes, I'm afraid!
i love the game but after having played 3 hours and later losing my progres due to a change of device i was kinda bummed out. can u maybe add something like a chapter skip or a pick off from this chapter or event option ? i just dont wish to go through the entire 3 hours again
I dunno if I'm just not far enough in or if it's in the planned concept of the game but will there commendable companions that fight with you be in the game?
There aren't any companions that you command in the game... yet. But there are a few moments where you'll travel alongside folks, and maybe there'll be some instances in the future...!
I want to say thank you to those who develop this game, this game allowed me to forget about pressing problems, which had a positive effect on my artwork.
If it's not a secret, how close is the game to the end? Now the duration of the game is about 5 hours, how long will it be by the end?
And just a question, I may be stupid, but how to activate those black underwear that I get for rescuing a ranger? it tells me that they are not activated, how to activate them?
They've mentioned in the Discord server that the game is roughly 50% done, maybe 40% but I might be wrong.
Also the curse undergarments is only active in the forest area. Once you leave the forest they become inert. So just put it on right after you save the ranger. You'll get a scene for trying to leave the forest as well as another scene for figuring out how to take it off.
After that you can give it to the Wizard at the Inn to purify it for personal use.
And if the game is really only 50% -40% ready, this is of course still a very long time. But I hope the author has the strength to finish it, as this is a rather interesting product, albeit for a very narrow circle of people
Hey, thanks a lot for the kind comments! We're always glad to hear that our game could bring a bit of positivity into somebody's life, even if it's still a lewd project.
And yeah, in terms of overall content, something like 40% complete, maybe a little less, maybe a little more. Hopefully we'll have a new update for you to enjoy soon-ish...
Good luck in the meantime, and thanks again for the kind words!
I wanna play it badly, sadly it doesn't support android, so I just wanted to ask whether there will be a android ver in the future, just askin. Since by looking at the games sample image of the games content seems good ngl... So will there be one or no?
I really can't make any promises. The various plugins we use for both visuals and game systems don't jive with android emulation. We'd have to figure out ways to work around this, and the game would be quite gimped in terms of its content...
I'm not gonna say "never", but I wouldn't bet on it.
attempted to install and play the linux version on steam deck, but the .sh file seemed to just open and instantly close without running the game. Is it broken, or is there something I'm missing? any help would be much appreciated! I'm a bit new to linux and all that, so I could just be missing something obvious.
OK, first thing's first, make sure you have gconf installed, RPG Maker uses that. This miiiiight make it work.
If that doesn't work... then we might need to get a bit more technical. I'll do my best to walk you through it, but tomorrow since it's late right now.
could I suggest maybe a option to pay (with gold of course) to unlock/go back to an area, so that you can unlock it in the gallery? As much as I loved the game, I'd rather not have to restart to get the mimic scene. Otherwise I'm loving the game so far nwn
Good news: You don't have to pay money or restart your entire game just to get a scene you missed in the gallery. We've already implemented a feature that allows you to unlock scenes you missed by going 'back in time' with an old save.
Just load up an old save and go check out the mimic scene. Make sure that you have enough Stamina so you don't get a Game Over, and you'll unlock the scene in the gallery in your most recent save!

I just wanted to say, thank you for this wonderful game. <3 you're all amazing
Hey, thank YOU for playing and for your kind comment! Much appreciated :)
i hope android version
Not any time soon. If you REALLY want to play it... there's JoiPlay or MaldiVes emulators. They're playable, but they both have bugs and performance issues and they don't have our endorsement; don't complain to us if it's not an ideal experience.
OSX: 13.0.1 (22A400)

what's the outlook on a current save working on your future update of this game
Quite confidant! I don't want to say absolutely certain, since we can never be 100% sure, but we're pretty confidant you should be able to go straight into the new content if that's your desire!
any idea on when more will be added to this lovely game
Hopefully... HOPEFULLY... before the end of the year. Or maybe very early in the new year!
Why can't I see anything in this forest? is this an error?
Means you're playing on mobile emulation most likely. The lighting plugins don't work on most of them.
do you intend to release an android version
Not any time soon. I won't bore you with the technical details, but the game would require some fairly significant asset reworks, downgrades and compression to run well on mobile and be in a state where we can say "yes, this is a version worth playing".

How do I unlock this memory? Can anyone help me
Equip the slimy black underwear you get from rescuing the ranger from the blue slimes. Then proceed all the way to the east / right, past the green slimes, and this scene will eventually trigger.
You can unlock it on an old save and it'll appear in your current gallery, so don't worry about playing the whole game again.
how can I open this box
Get your corruption to 10 or higher then poke around the wrong person's tent.
where is the wrong person's tent?
Eventually the Auxillary division will set up in the top left of the village look around there until you find the tent you get shouted at for looking in.
Can you take a picture of the location and show me?
The top picture is how to get there (Grove is on the far left of the screen), bottom picture is the place you need to look around
just finished the latest part of the story, how do I get all the oddities and the last armor set and whatever it is that goes into the personal storage space? (I only got the bun and idk how haha)
Check out this wonderful fan-made guide! It'll help you find all the things you missed:
https://qazm.itch.io/a-grove-timeline
thank u!
Can someone please upload a video of all the sex scenes? I couldn't find any on p*rnhub or Xvideos🤔
I love desigh charater game
I'm stuck at Northern Gulch, pls help
If you've reached the north and can't proceed any further, that means you need to go somewhere else.
The game should have teleported you back to the inn. It should have also said a message that you can't go further... and that your new path should be to the south...
But if you somehow missed ALL of that... start from outside the inn. Go down as far as you can. Then go all the way left. All the way out to the cliffside. And at the cliffside, you can go even further south / down.
Anyone got some tips? I'm stuck on a few.
This memory shows a particular slimy green cast... close to a certain forge.
You find yourself entering a western path... and pestering a newcomer and his tent. Suddenly your corruption flares up...
Anyone know these ones?
For the first, you want to get a slime slab from the green slime dragons in the cave. You can do that by letting them grapple you to completion when you have more than 50 STM, and then using the nearby fire...
Take the slime slab back to the wizard at the inn, ask about "oddity", there'll be a scene... and then the slime cast will appear at the blacksmith's place. Interact with it... and the scene will play out.

I know i'm a little late but, i'm also struggling getting that second one to work, does this need to happen at a certain point in the game? or can you get it after you finish it?
You need to get it before the Auxiliary Commander's office is finishing being built, whilst he's still using the tent. That is to say, you need to do it before you finish the Slug Den quest.
I just started the game and I wanna ask, is there a way to be a dom in this?
further, is there a way to do stuff like taking advantage of when the ranger meets up with the slime? I'd love it if that was an option
like, defeating the monsters that capture others then using their own tricks into corrupting them to your whims instead of theirs, that'd be cool haha
At the moment there are no scenes that involve dominating your enemies or corrupting other characters.
If you're looking for such a game, we recommend you check out https://sombreve.itch.io/dawn-of-corruption if you haven't already!
I have thank u!
and I've played the game quite a bit so far, got to rescuing the ranger for the second time,. in the jungle; havent checked the north yet
I am liking it a lot so far, keep up the good work!!! it's pretty friggin good haha
I do hope we get those options someday xP
Glad you ended up enjoying our game! Hope you'll keep playing and having a good time.
add sex :)
We'll try
Do you have any plan to realease new update in near future?
We certainly hope to...!
No ETA yet, but we'll do our best to make sure everyone knows when its coming!
Pleaae release mobile version of this game i really want to play this game there are few videos of this game are in p*rnhub and couldn't find rest gameplay love the arts and gameplay but i really want to play it on my android
Hmm you could always record the gallery and save it on the phone for... later use...
How🤔
Oh yeah my bad forgot I can't read... You have no computer to play it?
Yea😕😕 but i want android version of the game
How can I open the purple box?
You're going to have to be a lot more specific. Take a screenshot of the box you're trying to open and then maybe I can help
I just bring a Letcher to the final fight against Jaler! LOL!
I start to bring it when I fight against Hollow, the Letcher was teleported out the jungle with me, and I just walk to the desert.
DO NOT be bound by the Warps! Jaler can also kill the Letcher when he is trying to help you to cut off the bondage.
Hi, is the next update coming out this year? like a great christmas gift?
I really enjoyed the game and have been playing it since the release.
Hopefully...!
Thanks for your support!
Groove v0.3 release date confirmed (not clickbait) 😮😮🤯
how do you get passed the second computer section? im really stuck because one set of the hollographic floor panels changes way too fast for me to move past them even when sprinting. is that supposed to be happening and am i able to change the speed at which the tiles change color or am i just hard locked out of the rest of the game?

I CAN'T PLAY THIS IN MOBILE 😭
I look forward to the next update, I'm very fond of this game and the creators <3
Thank you! Hope you'll continue to enjoy the future content, when it arrives.
Hello sorry for the bother, does anyone know how to unlock the blue chest and the green box of memories of the slime forest?
Could you share the hints each chest gives? I'm afraid I can't remember which is which from just their placement.
The blue chest clue says "You leave the bandit hideout, but with souvenir in tow... You decide to leave this with another, until they have the necessary tools and amount of time to repair it."
And the clue in the green box in the slime memories says "There is a puddle of green slime sticking to the top of this memory... You see visions of a distant cliffside lake and overbearing black thong on your groin."
OK. The blue chest is a bit complicated:
It requires you to be caught by the bandit lizards, and then to escape and retrieve your clothes. You'll get some "tatters" that you can take to the blacksmith... and then he'll eventually turn them into a new set of armour for you!
You'd have to go back to an old save in order to unlock this, though... so if you don't wanna go through all the hassle, I can say there'll be an alternative way to acquire this one in the future!
As for the green chest:
You need to be wearing the slimy black underwear, acquired by rescuing the blue-scaled ranger in the forest near the start of the game. So you may also need to go back to an earlier save.
Whilst wearing them, proceed to the East / right, past all the green slimes... until a scene occurs!
You can start a new game, or go back to an old save, and the scenes you unlock will be unlocked in your gallery. So don't worry, you don't need to play the entire game again.
Thanks so much for the help
To finish my search for memories, I only need the one that says "Something thick, yet pleasure grapples onto your privates, and the only clear way to remove it... is to submerge."
I really appreciate the help you have given me.
For that one, you need to have the 'latcher plants' from the jungle on you. Just one will do.
And then you need to take a dip in one of the cleansing pools that are scattered across the jungle...!
How to unlock the "dungeon master" armor set?
I went through the game to the end, but I still can’t open this armor set, I’ve already tried everything, and looked in spolers, and still didn’t understand
"dungeon master"? Sorry, I'm not quite sure which one that is. Could you take a screenshot standing in front of the armour set you're missing? I should be able help you when I identify it...
OK, this one is a bit complicated:

this is pretty cool, thanks for the tip and good luck
Simply amazing. Really just destroys the stereotype of RPGmaker games. Just finished the story content and I am dying to see more. I will say, and it is a pipe dream, but hearing a female mentioned, even once in the game has me hopeful for some of that content :P but the art and writing is so good that I am thoroughly enjoying the content and genres already present. Can't wait to see what other crazy stuff gets added.
Thank you very much for all the kind compliments towards our game! Always nice to know we can rise above some of the RPGmaker junk that's out there, and here's hoping we can continue to impress with what comes in the future, too!
As for females... I'm afraid you shouldn't get your hopes up for female sexual content. There MIGHT be a lady NPC in there, but all the lewd stuff is gonna be focused on dudes, I'm afraid!
Finding stuff with this quality AND with the female lewd is gonna take some effort.
Will be checking back here often whatever happens nonetheless.
i love the game but after having played 3 hours and later losing my progres due to a change of device i was kinda bummed out. can u maybe add something like a chapter skip or a pick off from this chapter or event option ? i just dont wish to go through the entire 3 hours again
Sorry to hear you lost a chunk of progress.
As the game gets longer and we add more updates, we might see if we can add the ability to skip to the start of the most recent update.
In the meantime though, you'll have to replay. No need to rush, just leave it alone for a few days and revisit it when you're more in the mood.
Carrot？
Hehehe, this is very cute! Is this your artwork? We'd love to feature it on our Discord server, if we have your permission?
Sure！
I dunno if I'm just not far enough in or if it's in the planned concept of the game but will there commendable companions that fight with you be in the game?
There aren't any companions that you command in the game... yet. But there are a few moments where you'll travel alongside folks, and maybe there'll be some instances in the future...!
I want to say thank you to those who develop this game, this game allowed me to forget about pressing problems, which had a positive effect on my artwork.

I really can't make any promises. The various plugins we use for both visuals and game systems don't jive with android emulation. We'd have to figure out ways to work around this, and the game would be quite gimped in terms of its content...
I'm not gonna say "never", but I wouldn't bet on it.
attempted to install and play the linux version on steam deck, but the .sh file seemed to just open and instantly close without running the game. Is it broken, or is there something I'm missing? any help would be much appreciated! I'm a bit new to linux and all that, so I could just be missing something obvious.
OK, first thing's first, make sure you have
gconfinstalled, RPG Maker uses that. This miiiiight make it work.If that doesn't work... then we might need to get a bit more technical. I'll do my best to walk you through it, but tomorrow since it's late right now.
I think I need a new version of the notice.It's too painful for me to waitting.
I want to ask if you have ever considered the Android version
hnm anyone know how to get pass the sigil,in the area that hsve big slime pool,tried msny times but dont work?
You need to be wearing the cursed underwear that you receive from rescuing the blue-scaled ranger!
Hi i love this game but, everytime i close the game and open it again all my saves are erased why does this happen?
That's most likely because you didn't extract the game before running it. You need to do that, or your saves won't write.
some devs like to add a paywall after the game is "complete" will you be doing this?
Most likely not, I'd say
Good, mist game just did, paywalls suck!
could I suggest maybe a option to pay (with gold of course) to unlock/go back to an area, so that you can unlock it in the gallery? As much as I loved the game, I'd rather not have to restart to get the mimic scene. Otherwise I'm loving the game so far nwn
Good news: You don't have to pay money or restart your entire game just to get a scene you missed in the gallery. We've already implemented a feature that allows you to unlock scenes you missed by going 'back in time' with an old save.
Just load up an old save and go check out the mimic scene. Make sure that you have enough Stamina so you don't get a Game Over, and you'll unlock the scene in the gallery in your most recent save!
I do feel stupid for doing this, but I tend to overwrite/delete older saves, also since I save before doing literally everything
