Overview
Twisted Grove invites players into a world where a mysterious Malice corrupts the land and its inhabitants. As a local hero, your mission isn't to fight, but to heal. This unique roguelite strategy game, developed and published by Nikola Ninković, focuses on building friendships rather than engaging in combat. You'll explore a corrupted sanctuary, encountering peculiar wildlife that has been twisted by the Malice. Instead of resorting to violence, your approach involves showing these creatures affection through petting, hugging, and offering moral support to cleanse them and restore peace to The Grove.
