About the Game

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

Instead of fighting enemies, the world itself is the challenge. The grove is wrapped in darkness, lit only by your lantern and the occasional campfire. Some paths will be blocked, but with a bit of planning, better tools, and upgraded skills, you can work your way through and even shape the grove to your advantage.

There’s no rush here. No ticking clock. Just you, your axe, and a quiet forest to explore at your own pace.
