About This Game

Grove Bound is a cozy incremental woodcutting RPG with a twist there’s no combat.

Instead, the environment itself is the challenge. The grove is shrouded in endless night, with only your lantern and scattered campfires to light your way. Some animals and plants might see you as dinner, and others may block your path but with clever planning, the right tools, and upgraded skills, you can turn obstacles into opportunities and even bend the grove to your advantage.

This is a survival game with no rush. There’s no ticking clock pushing you forward just you, your axe, and the forest to explore at your own pace.

Features

• Chop, Fish, Cook, and Craft – Build up your resources and upgrade your tools to do everything faster and more efficiently.

• Explore in the Dark – Light up the world with your lantern as you push deeper into the grove. Every step reveals more of the map and new challenges to overcome.

• Inventory Management – Carefully choose what to carry and what to leave behind. Your bag space is limited, so every item matters.

• Meet Fun NPCs – Encounter quirky characters with unique quests, stories, and bits of lore that reveal more about the grove and its secrets.

• Solve Puzzles & Discover Secrets – Find hidden areas, experiment with your resources, and uncover the mysteries lurking just beyond the lantern’s glow.

• Relaxed Survival – Manage fatigue, keep yourself fed, and plan your actions, all without the pressure of racing against time.

With cute pixel art visuals and a cozy-but-mysterious atmosphere, Grove Bound is about progress, planning, and finding comfort in the unknown one tree at a time.
