Desert Stalker
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Update 0.18 is out now!
Hey all! It's time for a new release! So, what's in it?
This time we've been hush hush about the content about the Queen in the dev logs leading up to it, but here's a breakdown:
Aside from two scenes with her, another part of the update is focused on a day out with Ain. There are also two events with Emilia that fill in her last missing quest steps. And if you choose to spend the night at Krait and Fangs’ bunker, they might have something going on too.
Lastly, a small but special feature has been added. You’ll know it when you see it, and it might be a fun little extra for some. >:)
___________________
The update had a number of different paths and picture variants. We are (still) catching up, and it might take some days. Here are the known issues still in need of fixing:
- The quest Courting the Crown might look bugged in the quest log if you haven’t romanced the Queen. (The new content is only for players who flirted with her earlier.)
- The living room part of Ain’s scene doesn’t yet have variations based on whether Fairy or Kateryna have joined.
Other than that, everything should be ready to check out. We hope you enjoy it - and as always, thank you for the support. This game wouldn’t be here without you, and I hope the new update shows again how much we care about it.

hey zetan, i was looking forward to buying game on steam... but its too expensive here, because of dollar,maybe update the prices to locally currency?
Great Game anyway
Hi, steam takes care of adjusting the prices to local currency! That's already set up and was not decided by us :/
Oh, sure, anyway,I'll wait for a sale or som then... Thank you for the response. Great game, keep on Going!
Hey Zetan nice game mate got it on steam. Looking for a discord to keep up with updates?
Hey, thanks for buying! here's the discord link https://discord.gg/zemqFsCA
Its expired bro. Thank you for the effort though. Do you know where I can find a active link
Steam region-locks access to ao content. half the world isn't allowed to dl adult content from steam... Everybody's pissed off and trying to leave out steam. Could there be a different way to download?
If you're region locked on steam for example as a german customer, you can buy the game on here and request a key for steam on itch.io. If not, just download the game here directly
Hi,
I got the game on steam and I have come across an error maybe. Happens with 18.3 and 18.4. I read about the the logical error with Kateryna not joining if we hadn't romanced her, but I guess something still needs clicking adjusting. I took her out, met with Igor a couple times maybe, she came to house and cooked and the next day Zhara says maybe we can take her in and the player just goes "I don't think she's right for the house" or something like that.
Since I'm pretty much out of things to do, I might start a new game anyway and see how it goes.
Other than that, top, top game. Can't wait to get more of it.
hey, that's on purpose, kateryna simply won't join if you don't romance her. Also if you tell zahra she's not right for the house, then it makes sense that she won't come in. Unless I misunderstood. And thanks!
Hi,
Thanks
Maybe I didn't explain it very well. I didn't chose to tell Zhara she wasn't right for the house. The game just moved like that after Zhara said "we could go to Igor's place..." after Kateryna came over and cooked. I didn't romance her. I think it would be better to have the option to go or not at that point, but it's not a huge deal. Anyway, I started a new game and already have her. I'm not sure what exactly I did different though. I don't really retain such details.
I just found a game better then college kings, awesome… Just wondering is the steam version a cut down version or is it full like on here?
This game has love written all over it good work.
SPOILER ALERT: Don’t read on if you haven’t played the game.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
FYI: The whole domination scene with Zaton “Boss”, Asha and the raider at the start of the game “right before he was killed” was awesome.
Hi, there is no difference between steam or here. we never made a censored version, as you can change censorship settings ingame already :)
indonesian traslation plese
Hi, amazing game! I was wondering how I would go about updating the game in the future (I have APK on android)?
Also you don't have to answer but could we expect more Ain scenes soon?
Hi, ive just downloaded the newest update. Do i wait to install it intil ive finished the last update or install it now and is it worth started from the beginning or can i use my sace points from 0.17.2?
Brilliant game BTW 10 out of 10
Hi, thanks, saves before 0.17 are not usable because of the code rework. Everything after that will have no issues
Hi Zetan, really appreciate the game as a whole and I wanted to ask a question about something I saw in a walkthrough of the game.
(This may contain spoilers)
At one of the earlier parts of the game, when Kyra is in the dungeon, she says that the MC's wife has something important to say to him. That (according to the walkthrough) leads to a scene with Ain and Kyra. In my case the option to go to the master bedroom and kickstart this interaction is not present.
Is it something that you decided to remove for some reason or something else? Thanks.
Hey, we will take a look at that soon, I've put it on my to-do list. I can't say if that's on purpose yet, have to read into it. Thanks though
Thanks a lot for this game!
I bought on Steam just for curiosity but I must say it really get me!
My favorite girl is Kyra and I look forward for a new exciting content about her in the next releases (^-^)
Hi, are there any plans to add a way to change the appearance of the MC, particularly the ability to change skin tone and hair/beard styles?
hi, since it's render based, there is no such possibility without manually reworking thousands of images.
Sadly my phone can't accommodate the games it keeps on hanging.
Did the new version remove " sleep with Shani " option ?
Since the moment the writer was changed, this game has not been the same. Now it's a meaningless sharing game .
yeah, it was fun at beginning with saving people, but now its boring chit chat with queen who has not the best body
I was kind of expecting a cheeseball kind of game, but I was surprisingly pleased. The story is good, there's a lot more depth here than just some kind of harem simulator. Good job, looking forward to more content.
I dunno if I've mentioned this before or not, but... you actually did a really good job with this game.
thank you!
I finished the update a few hours ago. The update is nice, but the king scene, why isn't it animated? I really didn't like it.
what do you mean by king scene?
Sorry, Queen scenes I wish it had animation. I didn't like the scene because of this.
it has animations now in the most recent patch.
You mean the third correction because I have 18.1
Game text is too small on Android.
is/will pregnancy be in the game?
From context of previous updates, I think there's a good chance
Is there any bondage in the game or kink-based content, or is it more vanilla despite the themes of the game?
Yes, some bondage and a lot of family stuff.
Thanks man! The fact that i now get a steam key is so awesome!
Now i can just download and patch via steam ( Couldn't get it there because i live Germany wich region blocked the game )
I'm glad about that feature too, have fun! :)
If I pay this 17.99 now, is this will be th one time purchase get all updates in the future?
Yes. It always goes through a week of early access on patreon and subscribestar, and then becomes available here for everyone who bought it once. Just like steam
If i buy know do i need to pay again for new latest update
no, one time is for all future updates
love the game. would like more slave and dungeon content
I´ve really enjoyed the game. Also the mix with love, death, slaves, and harem. Really loved this game. Keep it that way.
Thanks,
Spoiler Alert Dev I have played your 0.18 version. I played it all the way through. I hated that you have slaves in the game. For this I would never buy or support this game. You did have some very good Graphics designs. I loved the gore seen on the bridge/raider camp with the hanging head. This game reminds me of James Axler Death Lands book series in some ways. And Borderlands game.
Well if you don't like it. It's fine
The main reason was how Fairy story was written. It’s too similar to sex trafficking where a gang mentality and physically breakdowns a young woman then sales them to a pimp who then shows some affection and feeds/shelters them. This causes the woman to become dependent on the pimp’s even when making them prostitute their selfs out. The dev should have written that Fairy was stolen from her family instead of killing her family off. This could have been a side story where the MC Mentally heals her then returns her to her family. Then later in the story the settlement where she lives could make a difference by backing you up in a major battle.
lol love the down votes for leaving a honest review. Before you downvote a review you should see what the dev thinks. Only way a dev learns what their clientele likes are through reviews. From these reviews they will influence their future stories.
they can also tell what other people think of those same views, and some disagree with your statements.
lol so true their will always be someone that disagree with any statement. Like is the glass half full or half empty lol only the waiter will know 😌 I would love for this dev to add another optional path. Can’t say nothing bad about the artist designs. I will probably redo the game for myself with Ren’Py. If the dev doesn’t change the script and add a different path. There’s many free game assets here on itch with towns that could be used as Fairy home town. Just make sure the owner knows you will be using it in an adult game if you are making a game with public access to play. I have an active imagination and I have quite a few stories I have written the hard part is finding the right game assets for the story. ⚠️ Please note any type of game asset you use make sure it’s ok to use in an adult game or you could be like Eternum have to redo their audio assets in the middle of your game. Learn from other’s mistakes.
Valid point of view... I'm not going to convince you otherwise, just wanted to mention that, I would certainly hope that no decent human being currently alive thinks slavery is ok... I'd hope... but, just take the game as it is: fiction, in a fictional land with fictional characters and fictional situations. But I agree with you that slavery is such a tough topic to even talk about, that it makes sense that not everyone will enjoy a game/novel/movie where this inhuman practice takes place...
When is 0.18.1 coming out for everyone?
It's not free anymore. You gotta pay some clams.
Wow I thought this story would be awesome because there are many positive reviews ...First impression the “main character as ‘gigachad’ but progressing in the story he's quite the opposite "a cuckold who wants to share every girl ... even let them marry with other people" ...
It's an rpg. The option to be a cuck and share the girls is up to you. If you chose those options...well how to put this nicely. You chose to be a cuck. The game lets you do what you want (within the options provided) and you chose that.
2 qquestion first of all will steam receive new update the same time as itch?
2nd question is there a way to export steam version and play it on joiplay?
Yes, both will be updated on the same day. And for steam you can try copying the installation folder and do it, but I can't give any further support than that as I don't know anything about it. Best bet is the android version
I tried that but steam added something into the files that doesn't allow joiplay to run it u need your steam account connected to run the game and I bought the game from steam thus I can't get android version 😭 I didn't know you make it a one time payment on itch as well before I bought it from steam I saw a announcement from a video saying you made a steam version I instantly go and buy it ;-;
Unless if you give a button in the steam version a link to download APK version idk how to get the android version
Wht I meant is like put a button in the home screen of the steam version where it can take you to download the android version or just straight up give a link to download it then bpth itch and steam player can get the android version
非常好玩的游戏，已经在steam购买，期待更新更多
For those whom paid the game on the previous page (0.16c and before versions), is there a way to migrate their purchase here ?
I'm sorry to disappoint, but that was simply an early access support style option just like on patreon / subscribestar
I have paid the version on steam also when will it come to steam
meant the update haha thats my bad
after the early access period on patreon/SS, same as here :)
Okay thank you also i just want to say i love the game and love what your doing
thank you, appreciate it
Hint check other game sites this dev post their game on. I don’t like to see a dev screwing their early supporters like this. Even if it’s a decent game.
Hello, I hope you are well. I have a problem with the downloaded file. I get an error saying that an exception has occurred. Is there a solution? I already bought the game for Android.

really good game
I do recomend a lot
By far the best VAN I think I have ever played ( and I have played alot...and developed a couple ). I own it thru Steam. I really can't think of another at this level. What 3d rendering program did you use? The woman are gorgeous! They stare into my soul :) But so much work went into cut scenes and writing animations and renders and just wow! A little bloody but I am ok with that. I am working on getting some chili and pepper :)
Im not a fan of super realistic looking games. Its kind of boring looking. I can just go outsid and look at real people for that, and real people are fuck ugly.
I am not sure what you are saying. Sure the woman look real in this game but I have never met anyone in real life that look as good. There are also elf and vampire and mutants that I hope you are not meeting some of them in real life. If you have not played the game you have no idea what you are missing.
That's what you get for living in some third world shit hole!
In the developed world, most people at least look reasonably attractive. Good nutrition and decent healthcare create better looking humans. It's part of the species evolutionary plan to keep the cock hard and spurting baby batter as often as possible.
Also, where do you live that you can just step out your door and watch ugly people fuck? It sounds like it could become a trending vacation destination. " Visit ________ and Watch Gross People Breed," an all inclusive resort!!!
Hi thank you very much, everything visual is done with daz3d, environment as well as characters.
Fantastic job! I can't wait to continue the story.
please add cuckold scene!
In 0.16 you could let the (male) friend of the MC fuck his niece after she comes to live with the MC while the MC sits and watches.
You could also let the (male) friend of the MC fuck the MC's younger daughter before the niece comes to live with the MC.
And you could let the MC's wife service the (male) friend in the same scene. Although I'm not sure how far that scene could be taken since I didn't head down that path.
They sort of set the MC as the cuck, but they are as close as I saw play out.
We wait!!!!
Is there a place other than this to ask support questions? I don't want to ask in the wrong place. I downloaded the update from .15a to .17 or whatever the latest version is on here and my saves got messed up and won't work. Can you help?
Join the discord in there is a better place to ask a question as the mods can help faster
How to get the scene for the one in the restaurant with the waiter? I tried clicking every choice option possible in the restaurant I got every scene except that one
hi, that's a sharing/voyeurist scene, only available if you allow this content in the preferences menu or at the start of the game. There will be non sharing content with her in the future so you're not missing out
Were will the next update be? and to confirm the game is no longer free and need to be purchased is that right
0.17 was the last public update yes, and soonTM
