Desert Stalker puts you in control of a seasoned antiquity scavenger, a man whose main objective is finding rare objects in the ruins of civilization. When you uncover an artifact capable of not only informing the past but also shaping the future, everything changes.
Make major decisions about how you interact with the world around you, enter into erotic relationships, and live with the consequences of either dominating or saving both the people and landscape of post-apocalyptic Egypt. Halfway House

Bug Fixes
*1: Room activities will be expanded over the coming updates
Spoiler
Major updates:
Minor changes:
*1) Ain rework: This had to be done due to legal concerns. I know the character was popular before, but I wanted to make sure I won't get in trouble where I live, so I made her more mature. I also cannot offer seperate versions for the same reasons. I'm sure you will like the updated character as much if not more. This was the reason for the delayed update
*2) Discord: My mods and me will still work on the discord channels and things may vary, but it's up and running and open for discussions and WIP posts.
*3) Raider scene: Scene is optional, only minimally changed
*4) Figured out that it is possible without putting in much work after all. You guys were also right when you said that an RPG should have a choice there, so I put it back in.
Spoiler
Giving the player more choices:
Reworked parts of Day 1:
(similar scene like in 0.01 planned for a future update, this was done to not scare off players from the get go.)
(The elve is a main character. Letting the player continue after killing her is pointless and only adds coding time I could save. The "decayed" event can also be started by buying her free.)
(If you didn't do it before; try playing with music and sound on, it took at least 20% of dev time)
Added Day 2 (End of prologue)
(An introduction to the world, different characters and future NSFW scenes.
