About This Demo

What if your significant other is in danger, but you have to deal with an urgent call of nature on the way to the rescue? “Go Groundshel!” is a “Super Maria” puzzle adventure game in which a groundhog girl endeavors to save her male partner from the villain. Awkwardly stepping out of her comfort zone, she becomes a heroine who confronts enemies despite lacking combat training. However, before locating her partner, she needs to solve a personal issue: finding a usable toilet!

EXPLORE A CHILDREN’S BOOK-STYLE WORLD

The first journey may be dangerous… but it’s thrilling all the same. Dive into a world that shifts between pixel-platformer exploration and hand-drawn, hidden-object puzzle scenes.

ADVENTURE & RESCUE THE PRINCE

Gather clues, search for specific items, and follow the trail of the kidnapped “prince.” Confront the villain who took him. Your mission: find what’s missing, uncover what’s wrong, and bring him home.

CHOICE-DRIVEN BATTLES

Our s/hero has never set foot on an adventure before. She faces enemies on instinct—either clawing her way through danger or choosing kindness to befriend unexpected creatures.

SOLVE STRANGE & QUIRKY PUZZLES

Even heroes have bodily needs. Chase destiny… but don’t forget nature calls. Each level begins with a mission to find a usable toilet and unfolds through one or two wonderfully odd narrative puzzles centered on repairing or cleaning it.

Guided by your illustrated journal, you’ll study each situation, observe what feels “off,” follow the clues, and uncover carefully placed items hidden within the surrounding environment.
