Neither, it is because Steam does not offer proper age verification which is a legal requirement to sell sexual content in Germany so that minors don't have access to it.
Well ... that I actually can not get mad about. Did not know that so thanks. Still does not fix my problem though :(
I guess VPN it is.

Its just a problem here in Germany.
If Steam had a way to verify the people buying them were of age, it would be able to be sold in a lot of countries.

Australia is similar as games need to be submitted for ratings certification.

Canada and UK do it sometimes to since again, Steam cannot verify the person buying it is 18 or older.

I'm trying to run the game on a Mac. The .app file simply says it "can't be opened," and the .sh file gives this output.
Ok, here's how I do it:
1. Right-Click "Show Package Content"
2. Contents > Resources (In here, you create a new Folder and rename it to "autorun")
3. Move "DesertStalker.py", "DesertStalker.ph", and both the "game" & "renpy" folder from their previous location into this "autorun" Folder.
4. Go back to the DesertStalker.app and Right-click and choose "Open" since it's a 3rd software, and sometimes Apple will open a new Window telling you to Trash the app.
p.s. You can delete the .exe since it's useless.
p.p.s. I had no deep knowledge about macOS. So I just compare it to other Mac RenPy game File structures, and this somehow worked for me. Feel free to correct me if there's a much simpler solution than this.

Some of the issues steam from Gatekeeper.

Yeah, you can run it directly from the Ren'py SDK as well.

You can also just build a Mac version really easily, I do it for every compressed version I do, and I don't have a Mac or anything. It's super easy.

I'm gonna go ahead and say it won't work, at least the last time I tried it it didn't work.
Yeah I think it's because steam locks your account on the region you created it so vpn doesn't work. It worked some time ago though but vpn were used to buy game cheaper on low GDP countries so we can't have that of course...

Except for the daughters who need 3 scenes each.
You wouldn´t hear a complaint from me on that department. The more the merrier.
As a ryona and zako guy, strong agree. When I played the opening where you can beat up Asha before skull-fucking her, I hoped there would be more scenes like that. But the rest of the sadistic scenes tend towards consensual rough sex or rape, not martial violence.

The raiders seem like a perfect faction to do stuff like that with. Unfortunately, the female raiders are mostly handled by Kyra, not you. Alas.
I think you´re on to something here. There needs to be, at least once in a while, a situation where the MC can punish people who cause him trouble like Asha did in the beginning. Maybe Kyra could keep the person "under arrest" until you arrive and decide what to do with them. You could rough fuck her, humiliate her, have Kyra and/or Asha join the fun or even kill her. If it´s a guy, you can kill him or let the raiders do their twisted torture thing and then "reward" them for it.

I don't really use online games stores. Aren't you allowed to buy from an abroad version of Steam? Just curious.

Today beta will be released? I love this game. I can't wait
It could, it was the intitial deadline but they ran into some problems just some day ago and might have to postpone the beta until some day next week.
Given how broken and buggy 0.17 was I am happy to wait a few more days if needed.

I don't remember it being unplayable, infact I didn't even notice any game breaking issues. I have always played beta first.

Ok? :WaitWhat: Never mentioned it being unplayable or anything breaking the game but good for you I guess?
I was referring to the missing content, soft locked side quests, and broken animations, few of which are still in the game.
You could still by all means complete the game but it was a notoriously buggy transition to the new Ren'Py version.
