Ren'Py - Desert Stalker [v0.17.1.2 2024-12-30] [Zetan]

The best porn fantasy game out there byfar.

I first played this game when i was really not into AVGNs that were set in anything but a parady of IRL. Desert Stalker really really surprized me in how interesting the setting is. Its a mix between Fallout, Mad Max, and Stalker. With a little bit of Egyptian mythology and Tomb Raider mixed in. All of these inspirations work really well meshed together and it creates this setting which is both very interesting and very bold.

The renders are so fucking good. Every character is top tier amounts of sexy in terms of their fashion and their body. I love the attention to detail on the female waist and nipples. I fucking love the strong abs on these characters and the dresses that they have on that show cleavage its perfect. My favorites have to be the family though your two daughters and your wife are so damn sexy its crazy.

Animations are some of the best in AVGNs. There are fully animated cutscenes that have action in them that actually looks really good. The sex scenes have to be some of the best ive ever seen. One in particular involving your family has to be some of the best animation ive ever seen in a sex scene.

Fantastic game. Probably the best sandbox renpy game ever made. This is how sandbox should be done. Couple of locations, all quickly accessible without the need of navigating a labyrinth AND TIME ITSELF

You are a guy in a post-apocalyptic setting and you go about your business serving your queen and banging your family and slaves as well as some other people along the way. Magnificent stuff truly.

Dialogue is kept to a minimum yet still has better characterization than pretty much any artsy fartsy modern-day relationship reconstruction VN.

Loads of sex scenes with different girls and the scenes are magnificent-looking, absolutely gorgeous. Some have animations as well, absolute PEAK.
There is some sharing content too if you are into that, but it fits the setting here and doesn't feel in any way forced or contrived. Perfect.

Such sheer quality leaves me speechless, making it difficult to leave a review. 100% recommended. Graphics are 10/10, scenes are marvelous, some girls have sort of a branching, no blueballing shit because of lack of h-content that you may usual see in renpy games. Idk really about story and overall game lore though, for now it sort of fades in the background. Wanna nut? dl now. Excellent, there's nothing that can go in compare with that. And while I'd never be mad about that, some must now - protag is OP machine that gets what he wants very easily, so no self-insertion here

Extremely promising story line with even better animations and character design. Even the non erotic scenes were cool especially some of the gory ones so be warned. cant wait until the story is finished and we see more of the unique characters

I kept skipping over this game because my first impression from the images was "redonkulous boobage". And yeah, now that I've played it, I do wish some of the body shapes were a little more realistic, and that there were some more petite figures in the mix.
But holy crap, the writing and world building and characters and lewdosity is top notch. This has rocketed straight up to might top five, and I cannot wait for the next episode.
The horror and ultraviolence moments are really well done as well; I hope the dev keeps those up. It's great to see a game that pushes boundaries (like that kiss after using the "dragon") without getting cartoony.
And then there are moments of pure strange beauty, like Julia or Ivy's hideaway.
If you're looking for a game with smokin' hot h-scenes *and* an awesome story. look no further.

Extremely high quality. Excellent character designs, writing, framing, animation and cinematography. A good blend of porn and narrative. As someone that started with 0.15, there is an absurd amount of content here. Even so, I'm desperate for more because this is just so good.

I just love how this story is going, it was a little slow in places, but it has gained a lot of momentum, there are more girls in the harem, more adventures and of course, more choices to make. The graphics are really good, the atmosphere to each story fits perfectly, that is why this one gets 5 stars, just a great story with lots of beautiful girls

This is one of the better VN games out there. Story is interesting, writing is good, models are good, but its development speed prohibits 5 stars. The past year of updates has under an hour of new content, considering the level of support this game has that is much too slow, especially considering the rate of new content was significantly higher in the first couple years of development.

Outstanding game, excellent story and animations. Kept me sucked in for the whole thing currently waiting for the next update. It was very hard to get off when I needed to go to bed lol. I would say ok only a little bit more and then there I was an hour later past my bedtime

So far so good, Story is excellent & what you can do & re-peat, what I hope for the future is more fun with fair, more fun - repeat with the Sister in law/your ex & her daugther aswell..I also look foward to more with bandit girls & the Queen. so far its Solid 9 out 10.

All the girls in the game are beautiful the model are superb and the animation really sexy which easily deserve 5 star. The story is actually interesting too making this one of the must play on this site. Plus as an added bonus the creator is active and the update are regular and contain a good amount of content.

One of the best postapocalyptic games i ever played that actually have very nice and interesting story with beautiful characters, animations and scenery. There were some wow moments and texts were very well written for this kind (erotic, porn) game, so i read every single word of dialogs to not miss any piece of story. I really recommend this one

It doesn't fuck around, but it also definitely fucks around. Has enough story to give context, and a novel enough world to make going to new places interesting. Delivers porn early and often. Has a strong cast of harem members. And lets you play a dominant character without necessarily having to be violent or brutal about it (at least by post-apocalyse standards). All over a high effort, well made version of exactly what it advertises.

Sometimes, really sometimes you find that diamond in the rough.
this is one of those diamonds for me.

This game has an engaging story, great renders and ticks nearly all my boxes, at least as far as I've played the game.

It short of perfect for me.

I've had only 2 games giving me this level of engangement so far. I gladly welcome number 3. You've found yourself a new patron.

Story 5/5
I loved the story for the most part, MC is for once a cool dude with a more grown up mindset compared to so many other games which is a joy to see and read.

Theres a bit to much lesbian action for my taste and i mean the ones MC is not taking part in, not really a fan of watching others fuck lesbians or not, i do enjoy it when MC is part of it though.

Also in this game all girls and i do mean all girls are atleast BI which i also find idiotic and i dident really enjoy seeing MCs wife coming on to girls without MC and without MC even had a chance with the girl first, like the wife did with Kat or when the wife has sex with the daughters without MC there, i got sharing turned off as well but it dosent seem to matter much since you still see scenes like that, which shouldent be shown with sharing off if you ask me, quite a huge fail.

i did love how much action there is in this game and not taking about the sex part but the fighting and such it really adds alot to the game, to give you an idea of what to expect, cutting someones head off to then talk and kiss it is just one of the things in the game.

For the virgin/deflower fans its both good and bad, one girl shows blood when breaking her hymen, next one (Kat) has 0 blood and cums from MC breaking her hymen?? i guess thats ok but 0 blood in a game like this is a bit stupid, maybe they forgot i dunno, a 3rd one also shows blood so its mostly good virgin/deflower scenes.

There are a few bugs like sleeping with Shani option pops up when you havent had sex with her which it shouldent since if you do click it you can then have sex with her and she will say "just like last time" but theres never been a first and she should still be a virgin, so story fails at following your choices at times which really isent good.

Girls 2/5
When it comes to the girls their faces looks damn nice, but the diversity in builds leaves alot to be desired, game has full focus on big tit fetish which just isent my thing, its only a turn-off to me personaly and i wish they would make it more even so theres something for all to like instend of just focusing on a single fetish.
There are a few with smaller tits but they are more side-girls then anything else, all the mains are either big or huge saggy tits and while i love the youngest daughters face i truely hate that they ruined her with those tits, it makes her look idiotic, a small girl with huge saggy tits which ruins her look, iam supprised she can even stand up-right, but like i said it comes down to personal taste and that stuff just dosent do it for me, and Ani feels more like a total joke character then a real one.

Animations 4/5
They are pretty good and some has multiple positions.

Music/Effects 4/5
Its not great music but it still suits the game and the effects are good.

Choices 5/5
There are alot of choices and most of them matters and some can have a big effect on content as well.

If girls had a normal build or hell even just a few of them with small tits then this could be a runner for top spot on my all-time favorit games, but as it is it dosent even make top 10.

I recently reached the end of Desert Stalker's content, and it left me with a bittersweet feeling.

Bitter, because it means there's nothing left to do besides playing with Raiders, and sweet because the amount of quality I experienced was immense. In a lot of these VN type games I skip through the supposed "story", but the feel and the ambiance of this post apocalyptic Egypt kept me immersed...as immersed as one can be in a porn game.

I do have some minor niggles and complaints, though. I understand that the "Zetans" have embraced a full 'Ancient Egyptian' aesthetic, but at times it can be a bit jarring to go from Ancient Egypt to ruined city streets and combat boots. I would have liked to see more of a mixture of both, but then I know the dev team was probably limited by the resources they had access to. I know that HS2 users have a similar problem when they want to introduce something 'new' to their games.

Related to the above, the main character walks around Egypt with a bald head, without any head protection at all. This drives me absolutely insane. Maybe you don't want to give him a hat or a turban, but even just a coat with a hood might work.

At some point in the story(very early on actually) you encounter an Elf, and I chose to trade my valuable treasure for her. As soon as you get her home, she escapes when nobody is looking. And spoiler alert, It is my hope that eventually in a future update, we can right the wrong she committed by evading her lawful captivity. Maybe she'll be a little glum about it, but well, these things happen.

And my final minor complaint is a technical one. There were several points where it showed 'quest markers' in various points of the map, like for example, it would show a 'quest marker' in my wife or my daughter's bedroom, but upon going there it would just be the standard dialogue. But more than that, there was quite a substantial bug with out journal in the library. I couldn't find any way to scroll up or down. So as you meet more people, you develop a list of different people you have met, and other notable things. But that list would continue 'off the page' for me, so there was quite a bit of research I couldn't do. This is a beta so these things are to be expected, but I would very much enjoy a way to read my entries in the future.

-------------------

Finally, some of my personal hopes about things we can see. I wouldn't call these requests as I'm sure development is currently underway, and I also trust the creative vision of whoever is at the helm. This is just me talking out loud, as it were.

The dungeon in our house is where we keep occasional prisoners, or brand new slaves. But it is also where we can give discipline. At some point in the story, I would love if we could utilize this function more often. There are three different girls in my household at the start, with more depending on the choices you make, it would be wonderful to get regular use out of that paddle.

Also, the general tone. There is a very grim sounding warning at the start talking about the nature of consent, and assuring the player that every girl in this story is "consenting despite how it may seem". This got me excited, but in playing the game, you can see every character's enthusiastic excitement from a mile away, to the point where I'm not even sure what the initial warning was for. Maybe earlier players saw bondage apparatus and get confused. But in any case, as a player who almost always chose the 'mean' options, I would love if the lines got a bit blurrier from time to time. Maybe you don't want to show really dark stuff, but I'd be ok with a girl just being left in a 'daze' looking at the ceiling from time to time. But, that's just me talking, and I might very well be in the minority here.

-------------

All in all, this game gets ten stars even if the rating system only shows half of that. You truly made something special, and I'm eagerly waiting to see where you go from here.

Girls are good looking; main lore of the universe is interesting although already seen everywhre in post-apocalyptic tales.

What is mainly destroying my interest is the sandbox aspect of the game and the pace of the story (two things which go in hands i think). Since you have to click everywhere to start each "part" of main/side story(ies), it feels a chore to play more of it.

Also, since it's sandbox, I feel that too much (girl) characters appear (to be fucked by MC of course) and it feels like the game will drag itself well beyond what the story should have as a good duration; it is of course bad for the rythmn of the story.

I wasn't sure I was going to get into this at first. Post-apocalyptic future with an ancient Egyptian vibe? I was wondering if the dev just had some art assets he was trying to lever in... I'm glad I stuck with it though because it's a really good game. It embraces plenty of post apocalypse tropes (zombies, mutants, old technology waiting to be discovered, Mad Max style raiders, etc, etc) but still feels very original. The ancient Egyptian thing works in context and helps build a beautifully imagined world and a sexualised culture to explain... well, all the sex.

The art and animations are very well done (although I'm not sure if it's deliberate that even some of the non-mutant characters with normal eye colours have pretty unnatural eyes). Quite a few of the women have balloon breasts which isn't my thing, but that's just a matter of taste.

The story is great, and those visuals are backed by the strong use of music and sound. It's full of atmosphere, veering at times into the gruesome and the downright creepy. Without any spoilers, there is one story arc involving a character venturing into the obligatory strange contaminated zone that is an effective spine-tingling ghost story full of weirdness and menace.

I'm really enjoying it - looking forward to the updates.

The best story, the best location, the best models, the best incest plot and bonds. This game is a masterpiece. I'm really into incest game, so i really appreciate the story between the mc and his daughters and his niece. They are incredible, especially the niece. I hope Zetan can continue like this until the end of the game and i really hope for another game. Zetan is GOAT

Great game, I had a lot of fun playing the game, the story is strong, characters are good, one of the games where I don't press skip. The characters are pretty developed, the setting itself is unique. The animation is far-far better than 90% of the h-games.
