The haunting in the zone is creepy AF, hats off to whoever made that one. It just sucks that Shani died in it. It weirded me out enough I wouldn't do it again anyway.

Hello everyone!
Does anyone know what happened to the game on Steam? I was thinking of buying it during the summer sale, but for some reason it disappeared.
Is this a temporary problem or is it complicated and long-term?
❌ Steam will not be blocked in Russia — the platform continues to remove prohibited content at the request of Roskomnadzor This time, the game Desert Stalker got it — the agency found LGBT* propaganda in it and demanded that its page be hidden from Russian users. Steam did just that — the game is no longer available in the ru-region. Roskomnadzor reported that “all illegal content has been removed, so there are no plans to restrict the service.” *A movement prohibited in Russia.
I feel ya, just wanted to buy it, but it's too late now.

Is Itch blocked, too? If you buy on Itch, you can request a Steam key. I think that's how most get around country restrictions.

Yeah there's a little bit. The part where you can make Emilia the captain now and have Ain go down on her comes to mind (one of my fav scenes. hot as fuck). Also "Waited Long Enough" is a lesbian threesome.

An unofficial PDF walkthrough, for those who use them. It might contain errors/omissions. No guarantees about future updates,
Can't thank you enough. Something that in-game walkthroughs don't allow for is to see the multiple paths laid out before you, when choices have consequences later in the game. Useful as those can be, these old-fashioned spoilers are unbeatable to allow for planning ahead and picking choices that matter in the future.

The biker girl is either killed or let alive by Shani depending of her "self/help" stats that are influenced by her relationship with the MC (basicely the dialogues choices that you made in her convos).
Which stat, help or self, triggers that oucome, and what else depends on Shani's stats? The PDF walkthrough isn't clear on that. It's good to know how you're influencing her, but it would be best to know how it plays out in the future. I'm all for reinforcing Shani's self confidence, but if that's what makes her kill other characters and close parts of the story, then I'd rather avoid it.

I'm playing with URM and will probably be able to see it in the conditions of future interactions, but knowing in advance could save me a reload. Thanks!

Take it like this: "Self "stat is gained when you teach or tell her to be selfish and not give a fuck about others and "Help" stat you teach her to be a good girl, helping others and always put other needs before hers ( if you indeed use URM you should have seen those multiples times in her dialogues). Anyway, basicly either being a bit of an asshole or some kind of a hero. It has nothing to do with her confidence. So for her to spare bad guys and not kill anyone you have to raise the "Help" stat.

Imo the self stat is useless.... Shani deserve to be a good girl ^^ /s

edit ps: There are no other stats that influence her actions/personality as far i can remember.

I don't see anything unusual in the screenshots that would cause the game to be blocked in the country, very interesting.
