Hello, residents of Rue Valley and nearby areas!

Have a little sneak peek at what awaits you on November 11, when Rue Valley is released!

Secondly, if you want to support our team more, you will be able to purchase Rue Valley Deluxe Edition. In addition to the game itself, it contains a digital soundtrack, a digital art book, a digital map of Rue Valley, and some totally useful in-game items, such as a golden revolver, and a personal grave at Rue Valley cemetery.

This hotfix fixes two issues detected after version 1.5.5.

A critical error introduced in version 1.5.5 (the Halloween update) has been fixed.

The issue was caused by an adjustment to the shadows of objects appearing in the mini-expansion, which caused the game to crash when trying to enter. (Reported by “DisLoyalSoul”)

Fixed an issue when selecting the difficulty: if the start button was pressed multiple times, multiple transitions could occur simultaneously, preventing the game from progressing correctly.

✨We’re growing our Focus Grove as a place a bit different. It is not just another cozy farming game with cute animals. Well, it is, but at the same time it’s your companion for staying mindful, productive and balanced throughout your day. So you can better decide whether you would find yourself in Focus Grove, we prepared a short guide list of what it is and what it isn’t.✨

Just look at these and see whether this sounds like your grove.

What Focus Grove is:

🧠 It’s a game that helps you focus when you work or study

☕ It reminds you to take breaks and take care of yourself, so you don’t burn out

🌳 The gameplay is there to relax you, not to stress you out

🧘‍♂️ It rewards you for staying mindful and balanced

👩‍🌾 It’s a cozy farming game with cute animal helpers 🐻🐰🦊🐢

What Focus Grove isn’t:

💻 It’s not a game that drags you in for hours at a time (so you forget to walk your doggo)

🔢 You won’t find spreadsheets here — just calm progress at your own pace

📈 If you came to min-max, you might wanna turn left at the next pine

🎮 No combos, no strategies, no sweat — just a peaceful loop that grows with you

If you have a question about Focus Grove, don’t shy away - ask us here (or really soon on Discord). We will be posting more news soon.

Remember to breathe, stretch, and let your Grove grow. 🌱

Your Little Lanterns

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where objects would float in the scene.
