Overview

Welcome to Grizzly Grove! in this game you take the role of a 27 years old young man, named Ryan McBright (name can be customized), who returns to his hometown, Grizzly Grove, a big Coastal city, after a 10-year absence. 10 years ago you left your family's house to live with your uncle after a very strong argument with your mother. You lived with him for the last 10 years, finishing high school and then working for his business. And you could have your life apart from this city forever...

 But you are not the type of guy that runs away. Eventually, you make the decision to come back, and with the help of your uncle, you rent an apartment on Grizzly and try to make your life here. Will you succeed? or will you return to your uncle's house with your tail between your legs? it's all up to you.


NOTE: Please note that, due to file limitations on itch, the online version won't have any media displayed on sex scenes. HOWEVER, the files are in the offline version, so for the complete experience I recommend to download the offline version.

I used a host owned by a dear friend of mine, but right now he's having some problems, and I can't use his account anymore. So until I find another host, the sex scenes don't have any media on the online version.


State of the game

The game is a Sandbox, heavily text-based. Centered on Gay romance. You'll choose your own path in Grizzly Grove city. The main idea is to navigate and enter one of many storylines available, as well as explore the various locations through the city, meet various characters, and have some fun in the process. The city is full of hairy, daddy-looking guys (now you see why the grizzly on the game's name?).

The first storyline is centered around the first job presented, JCS male cleaner. JCS, or Jockstrap Cleaning Services, is a company founded by your landlord, Dalton. It's the equivalent of the female maid companies, but instead of using a boring butler uniform, the cleaners just wear jockstraps. You'll enter at the most basic level, as a lowly assistant and you will work your way to the top, with a chance to romance Dalton himself. The three levels are complete and the romance arc is finished.

There is an additional storyline. It's the Gym Storyline, where you'll compete in the underground fighting competition called "Bear Fist Tournament" for a big prize of 1000$. Along the way, you have the chance to romance your coach, Garrett Kennedy. After you win the tournament, you'll have access to the mini interactive epilogue, "Road to the belt" that covers your life after you finally marry him.

More storylines will be added. I have planned a lot more in advance. For example, the Bear's Den salesman storyline, where you will face your mother and take part in the family's business, or the Ursus hideout brothel, where you will work as a sex worker or adult video star.

Only 4 places are available as of this update: Home, the mall, JCS, and the gym. Many more will be added in future updates.

I opened a Patreon and a SubscribeStar, to help with the developing of the game. You can contribute here, or through Patreon. Being a patreon, you'll get a 2 week exclusive access to updates (which will be public after that period of time) and participate in polls to have an influence on what storylines will come next. Also, higher tiers will be able to commision one extra scene (restrictions apply, Both with Patreon and itch).

Please note, and I want to be very clear on this: This game is free, no cheats, or contents will be paywalled. The main Patreon benefits are those I listed before.


FAQ

Now you have a patreon. Can I still donate from here?

Absolutely. This game is free, so what you see is what you get. Patreons gets added benefits like a 2-week headstart on each update, Participate on the polls that decide the storylines and some others, but if you like to donate here I also thank you from the bottom of my heart, along with my family.

Where is the cheat password?

For every main release, I change the password. It's on the changelog section in the game itself, understroke. For example, for this initial release, 0.18c, the password is on the 0.18 section. That way I make players read the changelog (or at least I try).

Is the MC top? Bottom? dominant or sub?

First, let's tackle the top/bottom subject. Ryan (the MC) is canonically versatile, meaning he tops and bottoms. There is no way to switch off bottom or top scenes. Of course, you can opt out of most of sex scenes or avoid top or bottom sections, that is a core feature. But in some sex scenes mandatory in the story, if you skip some parts, it may end in a game over, so sometimes you have to top or bottom no matter your preferences. The game has a LOT of bottom scenes. Right now I'm working on balancing that out in the prison and Ursus storylines, but in JCS and Gym storylines it will be mostly bottom content. So, TL;DR version: There are a lot of bottom scenes, than top scenes right now in the game. I'll update this later when the newer storylines are finished, where I intend to balance the content.


And now the Dom/Sub content. Just like the bottom issue, I seem to favor sub content over dom content, but I'm working actively to correct that. You can take a more dominant approach on the last part of JCS storyline, but in the gym storyline with Garrett is only a sub approach. Future storylines like Ursus or Prison will feature more dom content.


What is the adult content in this game, or what kinks/fetishes you included?

Good question, I wasn't sure if I could be explicit here on itch, but to be transparent to the players, I'll list them along with how much content is in the game as of the 0.18d version:

  • Vanilla sex: Anal and Oral (Top and bottom). Checked by default and mandatory in some scenes. There is a lot of content about that.
  • BDSM: There are no storylines centered on it (yet) but some scenes are totally into it. Some of the BDSM kinks I've included: Electro stimulation, whipping, bondage, leather, caning, breath control (underwater), wax play, clothespin play, waterboarding, Foot fisting and Feet worship.
  • Chastity: Part of one BDSM scene. It will have a dedicated entire storyline to this kink.
  • Uniforms: One scene. More scenes will be added in the future.
  • Vaginal Sex: Yes, there is a scene with vaginal sex, but it's of a scene with a trans men. Read below.
  • Trans Men: There is one scene with a trans men (FtM, with his vagina). There are more scenes planned with them, even a love interest with his storyline.
  • Fisting: two or three scenes.
  • Threesome: four or five scenes.
  • Orgy: Two scenes.
  • Prostitution: Well, you can say that the JCS job has its share of prostitution
  • Sissification: One scene. It's NOT the MC who is sissified on the scene though, and I'm not planning any more content on this fetish.
  • Toys: One or two scenes, mostly with dildos.
  • Humiliation/Abuse: there are some scenes about it, and Garrett's epilogue is centered on that. There is a warning about that.
  • Watersports: three or four scenes.
  • Dilfs: Yeah, lots of dilf/hairy looking men on this game. I guess the game's title is a warning, eh?
  • Interracial: four scenes.
  • Multiple penetration: One or two scenes.
  • Handjob: One scene.

There is more content planned, including a whole storyline focused on chastity (no sissification there. It's a big kink of mine), uniforms, trans men (Female to Male). I'm not including incest or rape in this game though.

I don't want to see x fetish or action in sex!

No problem, every fetish other than the standard vanilla sex is totally optional and unchecked by default. Even on mandatory scenes you can opt out to see only the text blurred (click it to show).

Is M/M sex avoidable? is there M/F or F/F?

The MC is gay, so F/M and F/F are out of the picture. But ironically, yeah, almost every sex encounter (except a few ones that are mandatory by story) can be avoided completely.

What love interests are here?

As of 0.20, the only romance options finished are Garrett Kennedy (your fighting coach) and Dalton Jhonson (your landlord and boss on the JCS storyline). More will be added in the future, like Mack Williams (the owner of Ursus Brothel) and many others I won't spoil here.

Can I have more than one love interest?

No. Once you're set on one, the others lockout.

How do I access an X site or meet x person?

There is a complete walkthrough on the help section of the game, it should clear almost every doubt.

I can't run the game!! what should I do?

The game was developed with desktop platforms in mind, at a base resolution of 1280x1024. I tested it on windows 10 on Firefox (recommended), Chrome, Edge, and Opera. Linux and MacOSX SHOULD work but I have no idea if they work, so more feedback is welcome.

On Mobile, I managed to get it running on android (I tested it through joiplay using NOX emulator on PC) and more recently, I ran it on an old android tablet using Chrome so I can say it works on android, but may be uncomfortable to play on devices with smaller resolutions (like smartphones). On iOS was difficult. I have an old iPhone 5S, with iOS 12 and safari, and the game doesn't run there. My guess? if you have another browser than safari it might work, but I'm not sure.

One note: The game uses a lot of webp images and webm vids, so it's recommended that your browser supports them. The only browser that gave me problems was Safari on iOS 12. I've read that on MacOSX (and iOS 13 and later) Safari supports it but I can't check if it's true.



Please don't hesitate on contacting me in the comments if the game doesn't run.

By the way, you can also find me on the HG2 Discord server.

What is the cheat code

How do I extract without having the images in my photo gallery?

Deleted post
(1 edit)

Does anyone else had this problem, I have it everytime I run the game even on different browsers even downloaded it few times 

Can I get the job at the Clothing Store? I'm trying to do every run I can. I'm working at Ursus on one run, so I'm assuming the clothing store should be an option.

(+1)

I want to get the chastity cage and I can't figure out where to get it from, help 😫

Wait... this game has game overs? Were there always game overs somewhere or were they just added?

(2 edits)

Is the game bugged or its just some scenes have space for images/gifs but there are none? The fastest one I can see that that happens is going to the second floor of Mark-Us Sex shop.


If I “inspect element“ I can see that there is a “<center></center>“ where an image/gif should be, but its empty.

(edit: going as a Sub Guy gives me enough Social and pervesion for the scene to be narrated and be able to choose both oral and anal sex)

Who is the actor used for the Lazarus character?

(+1)(-1)

The first scene with Will won't activate at the mall despite me having a sub attitude.  Have I missed something?

I'm crying on dalton's route 😭😭🤧 it's cute and sad and disgusting and heartfelt and the end where they have a (spoiler baby) and she's soo cute and... And it's soo wholesome for gods sake I'm sobbing and it's a one big happy family now 😭😭😭

Hello, how do I get promoted at URSUS Work like I already have 100% progress but I already know what to do to get promoted

What is the cheat code?

i believe the cheat code is “slut”

Yeah, that's the code

I tried that but it said that was incorrect.

It can't be, I use that code for testing almost daily. it's slut

(+1)

Maybe is just on my side. If it works for you then maybe mine is the problem. Anyways, I’ll restart it and try it again..

I don't get how to get the Ursus job? It's extremely difficult to increase all of muscles, anal top, oral top, anal bottom, and oral bottom when you don't have a job. Like, you definitely can, but it costs money and you don't have a job... so... it's difficult. You also can't get a second chance even though there is a link for it. The link just does nothing.


EDIT: Ok, well it's not actually that difficult if you know the requirements ahead of time. It just takes a long time if you need to catch up on reqs while in the middle of trying to get the job.

Share those requirements please?

(2 edits) (+1)

IIRC you need Muscles 30+ and the other 4 at 10+. You have enough starting money that you can get a permanent gym membership for muscle req, you can easily get your bottom points up for free, then after talking to Mack you have access to easier top points, though they aren't free so you may need to supplement income. Probably the easiest way to do that is the quiz show, which is a random encounter but it's not hard to just run around until you find it.

Firstly, I like the game.

What about a romance with the head of the computer company? You could also include a job option to work there.  as an alternative, perhaps working at the computer shop in the mall.   Perhaps you already have that in mind, it is just a suggestion.  

Is it also possible to have a romance with Luke somehow?

Also, do you plan to have the bar as a visitable place in future releases? Maybe a job there?

(1 edit) (+2)

What's the name of the actor for option 21 on the character profile(blonde haired guy with beard) and the name of the guy thats named Dalton Johnson . actually if its not to much trouble could you make a separate sheet with the names of all the actors playing the roles of the guys in the game?

Dalton Johnson is Zak Spears

can i have other jobs besides JCS?

(+1)

(SPOILER ALERT) Whenever I try to have the romance at 100, this scene appears and rejects me, ¿how do I follow the story without Dalton rejecting me?

(+1)(-1)

Ok, this is a spoiler, I'll put the answer below










Dalton will reject you no matter what you do on Malcolm's house. Now, If you kiss him, you'll notice that the romance went up. That's your clue to know that he still cares for you. If my memory doesn't fail me, you should have 80 romance with him if you were successful on the restaurant date and kiss him after Malcolm's dinner. You'll get the good ending.

In case you want the bad ending, you should fail either at the restaurant date, or refuse to do anything at the end of Malcolm's dinner.

Heh... I see where you're going with that, male preg is hot. I have a FtM LI planned (not Mark though), and I can go this route with him. Unfortunately, I have some storylines planned before that.

when is the next update 

Wow! This is great! Looking forward to the next version! Just one comment: I got to prison and on the day of release, there were no options to click in order to leave the conversation with the guard before getting your stuff back.

can anyone tell me the cheat password?

The cheat password is ursus

(+1)

thank you!

i tryed ursus it saying it worng password

help

Wow, I never tested on a device like that, in android, I tested it using joiplay. I have the instructions for it on the download section.

thanks and sorry I didn't notice there was an instruction 

(+1)

Great game! Looking forward to the updates <3

Thank you <3

You need some work on your branding title sprock because when I first essentially saw the title I thought we were going to play as a talking bear trying to get into human female cheeks but not going to lie I wouldn't be even more impressed if that was the game it would actually be funny go around as a talking grizzly bear try convince human beings that were just a guy that likes to dress up in a bear suit

Spoiler question below:













Is it possible for the MC to "win" in the BDSM battle during the governor's party in the JCS storyline? I retried it until I full cleared it (I didn't lose any will and the other person completely lost theirs) but I still had the attitude shift and "lost" my will. I get that it may be integral to the storyline, but if it is I'd say just don't make it a minigame with health bars, just have the text.

(1 edit) (+1)

Ok, to answer the question

















That battle is to protect your mind and save your life, if you lose the battle, your mind will be destroyed completely without any chance to recovery and you would fall into SCS hands.

You may see the effect of the will lost as losing, but that actually made the MC to get through this. What Max does on that evening was reckless and totally stupid, risking the MC's mind completely. Anyone else would have lost it (he was intending to do this to Luke instead of the MC)

But I agree it could have been an standard sex encounter, since the mechanic of that mission was already different. Heh, I guess I made it more difficult than I should have. I'm noting this feedback for the Ursus storyline I'm doing.

(+1)

Fair and well explained. I don't think I've ever actually "lost" that fight to see what the true lose condition is, so the win condition still seemed like losing.

Does firefox block the web storage api now?

(2 edits)

As far as I know, no. Firefox is my default navigator and I don't have any issues, neither with the saved games, or the gallery.

There was an old bug, with one of the updates (0.20) where I named it differently by mistake (index.html instead of the correct name Index.html) If you had a save with a different named file, and you try to load up another, it will say about the Web Storage API. There are two ways to fix it: One is clearing cache/cookies of the browser which is... not ideal)

The other one, is to load the old html file (if you revert back to the last version that worked for you you should be able to load the game). When you're inside the game, erase EVERY SAVE on the list (you can load up your most recent, and save him to a external file. That's fine, you can load it up later) and then coming back to the latest version, and there you have it.

Another easier solution would be to switch to Chrome, Edge or Opera.

I think there's an issue with images not displaying? Some things will work, like looking in the porn folder, but others, specifically random encounters or sex scenes, only show their text. I have played this game before (although I always reset it), so I know that the scenes should appear. Really the only part I got to before I made this comment was Wade's restroom orgy, but none of the media displayed. Is this an issue on my end?

On the online version, they aren't working. However, the offline version works. It's a limitation on the number of files that itch allows, and let's just say the game have a lot.

I'm working on a solution for this, but mean while I suggest you to download the offline version.

AYO ITS OUT

I never thought I would find a game and get addicted to it this fast,

My only complaints, (although they aren’t really complaints, more comments) is whether or not you plan on adding more BDSM content with Dalton? Other than that, it’s a good game and I’m excited to see more updates!

Hi Alissa! I'm not planning to add more BDSM for Dalton for the moment. The most BDSM one is on the date at the bar, when they get down to the dungeon. If you haven't seen it yet, drop a message here (but you can also find it on game's help).

I'm not discarding more scenes with him on other storylines, but I have my hands full at the moment. Yeah, I know, it's not the answer you expected. Dalton is one of my all-time favorite characters there :(

No, I don’t mind, it’s not fair for you to change the whole story for one thing, but another thing I would like to say as a suggestion, for the part where they all have dinner, and Mack tries to convert Ryan, for the bad ending could you possibly add a trigger warning for the su—ide? It was a bit, alarming 

Also, sorry for all the questions, is it possible to get back together with Dalton after the whole SCS thing?

(1 edit)

Whoa whoa, let's start slowly.

1) I'll consider it, but that part is more like a game over screen. The true bad ending happens if you fail Dalton's romance, and there is way more content after the dinner. Let me give you a tip: By the time you get to the infamous initiation test on SCS, if you have 80 on romance points, you'll get the good ending. Otherwise you'll get the bad ending.

2) After all the SCS thing, if your romance is over 80... you might get what you want. Remember, when I say good ending, I really mean it.

I can't be more specific here because spoilers but everything is listed on the JCS part of the help section, there you'll find how to get the good ending with Dalton.

I know it’s a game over screen, quite literally, but it’s a bit alarming is all, and the other thing is, I had at least 90 romance with Dalton, but nothing showed up,

Hello I want to ask how I can increase friendship level with Luke so I can start relationship with Dalton? Since the only time I can increase it after the government job

Dalton scene is so hot . Is Dalton Jhonson a fake name ? I tried to find him on internet but it's not him. Can I have his real name ?

when i try to join discord it says unable to accept invite. what should i do?

(1 edit)

Try this one. I'm gonna update the in-game discord link with this.

HG2 Discord Server

Thanks

I'm having trouble getting employed at JCS. The problem is that I went to the job interview before I had 10 points in the cleaning skill.

Although I didn't get the job, I was told I could try again. But when I try to apply online at Jobseekers.com, the entry for JCS is "J Cleaning Services Inc. (Application sent)". And it's unclickable,  so I can't re-apply online. I also tried going to their HQ, but the only option there was "I'm gonna go outside".

Is this a bug?  Or is there some way to get the job that I'm just overlooking?

I can't install the game after downloading the file 🥲

The game does not need to install, just run Index.html file after you unzip the Grizzly Grove folder from the zip file. I recommend using firefox or chrome.
