I can’t stay on the grillby route, after hotlands/the core it sends me back to the friendship route. I don’t know what I did wrong:(
There's a guide in the development log if you didn't know that yet.
Do not romance anyone else at all until you reach grillby, after that chocolate scene? Make damn well sure you are not romancing or even flirt with anybody else until you get to the city where you will meet grillby again aaaand choose "stand closer" 👍
