THOUGH I feel like there's some secret lore hmmm?????
This game was really wholesome ~ i really enjoyed the premise of the story! and the lesson it gave :D
I livestreamed your wonderful game and couldn't stop squealing the entire time. I'm glad so many POCs worked on this. I'll prob check out your other visual novel, Kohana too! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1456352938
Thank you for playing Tales of Grumville and we'll be happy if you play our other games too! If you enjoy story with darker theme and serious note, you might enjoy Kohana. But if you love romance and story that can make you cry, I think you will enjoy EDDA Cafe.
This game is cute and so heartwarming!!! 😩❤️
omg the art is so perfect!! I love the cartoon and all the comfort feeling the colors and the characters bring to the story.
Audrey and Monty are babies but Rocky just got right into my heart 🥰❤️ i love all the characters and how real they are!!1!
The story is beautiful, fun and, to be honest, very emotional for cry babies like me 🥺😁
In the end, i was crying feeling both happy and sad. I don't even know how to explain!!! It just felt so close to me that I let the emotions overflow 🥺❤️ You guys got me good 😭
You guys are amazing. I really had a good time playing this game ❤️❤️
Thank you for playing Tales of Grumville! We're happy to hear that you enjoy it! ^^
Heartwarming story and SUPERB art (and characters, and the adorable font), thanks for this treasure :)
I hope there will be more Audrey or Grumville adventures afoot :)
Thank you so much! ^^ We also hope this won't be the last we heard about Audrey and the town of Grumville. When the chance comes, we'll definitely consider making a sequel or spin off from this title 😉
Would it be okay if I did an LP of this?
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the term 'LP'. Can you explain it to me?
Oh, sorry. A Let's Play video on Youtube
oh sure! we'd be delighted if you decide to make one from our game. Feel free to link us the video here so we can like the video, or if you make a post about the video on twitter, if you mention us, we can help retweet your post 😊
Thank you so much! My channel is still new, but I hope I do your game justice. I'll let you know when it's up :-)
The first video is up! Here it is. Tales of Grumville Episode 1
I've downloaded the game to check it out (looks so adorable and stylish!) but I cannot get it to run on my mac. When I right click to open the game file nothing happens, just wanted to let you know in case it's an issue with the download file.
Hello! It's actually a common problem with mac build. Try installing itchio launcher https://itch.io/app (similar way you use Steam launcher to launch game) and open the game through the app. The game should run without problem then, but do let us if the problem persist.
OH, thank you so much for this advice! It worked and now I can open the game. Looking forward to it!
So lovely, so good.
Happy to hear that! Thank you!
Absolutely sweet, such as grumberry pie (well, I'm guessing it's sweet!), it's a short and charming story, and I love the characters. The art and the UI come together in a seamless aesthetic that's just so happy and cute. Honestly I recommend this game!
Aww we really appreciate your compliments! Thank you Florisam! 🥰
What a sweet and enjoyable VN! The art was lovely and the writing was super charming!
Thank you so much for letting us know that you enjoy Tales of Grumville! We're happy to hear that! ^^

Thank you! We're glad to hear that you enjoy the visual! And if you enjoy lighthearted and wholesome story, I'm sure you'll enjoy the story of the game as well ^^
