Ren'Py - Desert Stalker [v0.19.4] [Zetan]

One of the best VNs I've played, like many others out there, it's one of the few "sandbox" games I've really enjoyed, both in terms of story and characters. Very well done.It's definitely one of the Gotys VN

Wasted 2 hours of my time on this, and still can't make myself like this game. The only good thing is the visuals, but besides that you can barely call it a game. There's barely any gameplay except for picking decision A or B, it feels like the story progression starts at the end with barely any developments. Characters throw themselves at the main character from the very start for sex scenes that don't make sense and should be way later in the game after some sort of development or gameplay.

[v0.19.0 Beta] This game dont really need me to describe it again. Main themes like incest, submission and voyeurism (arguably free use too) are really well done. Models are great, story hot, atmoshpere sexy. 5 out of 5. Look and take notes

This is a good game for me. I rank it among the top three. The graphics are very beautiful. Every female character has a clear character. The music is good. The sex scenes are good. The story is interesting. The updates are continuous. If anyone has the money, please support the creator so that they can make more good games for us to play.

Story 5/5
Graphics 5/5
Animation 5/5
LI's 4,5/5 (would like to see some more MILF's and GILF's)
Kinks 5/5

Overall just a great game. Lots of girls, harem theme, lots of kinks. Good story with meanigful choices. Great setting post apo Egypt. Looking forward for more.

The best avn type game I have ever played hands down!! Great story with great graphics! I love sandbox type games and this one ticked all of my likes. Highly recommended and definitely worth the buy on steam.

Despite a rather long list of flaws, Desert Stalker is an outstanding game that everyone should try! It offers proper sharing with the MC in control. Includes DPs, hard anal, a2m, corruption and submission.

Positives:

• DPs! Taking a hot teen's anal virginity directly with a DP. She loves it, cums and then does a2m. Fantastic! (Unfortunately the scene isn't animated and is very short.)
• Fantastic renders, character designs, outfits and environments.
• Anal. Deep, hard anal with girls who have perfect asses.
• Sharing! Hot and nicely executed. It's too rare in adult games. And it's of course optional.
• a2m. (But the dialogue should make note of it instead of just saying generic things like "clean our dicks".)
• Exhibitionism. Very hot groping, teasing and to an extent sex in public.
• The girls look amazing and especially the younger daughter. Well, the whole family is fantastic in both looks and behavior.
• You can let the younger daughter be anal fucked (hard and deep) by a friend as you watch.
• The older daughters ass is pure perfection!
• Excellent deepthroating of the MCs big dick. The throat deforms.
• The sex is always deep and hard (worth mentioning since some games only animate the dick going halfway in).
• Animations. Many animations and of high quality.
• Interactivity during some sex scenes. In these cases you can e.g. choose where to finish and choose between vaginal and anal. (But many scenes have no interactivity.)
• Choice between praising or degrading girls in some scenes and this nicely affects their behavior.
• Optional forceplay is really hot.
• Group sex.
• You can choose dominant or submissive paths for some girls. Submissive is really sexy.
• The MC is not an idiot and not a self-doubting weakling. This is opposite of most adult games so it's worth mentioning.
• "Sandbox" but very much quest and narrative-driven so it's without grinding, RNG, or other typical issues.
• The MC looks good and fit, which is a huge improvement from most adult games.
• Very nice public and rough anal sex with a virgin slave in the market.
• Another hot teen cumming from her first anal fuck and then made to do a2m.

Negatives:

• Surprisingly often scenes are just vanilla. It's mostly just vaginal and BJs. The exceptions are great though!
• Some unsatisfying quests and missed opportunities.
• Not much content, just around 10 hours, especially considering the first release was 5 years ago.
• Broken Fairy. You have a perfect mindless slave after doing the "Broken Fairy" path but the sex you can have with her is extremely limited. Why no anal? Why no sharing? That's exactly what you'd have a broken slave for.
• When you have sharing (awesome!) then you should also include double penetration and, ideally, gangbangs. So that lack is disappointing. E.g. you already let Igor anal fuck your daughter so why not DP her and/or your wife? Or when you have a party at home, you should have Fairy/Ain be gangbanged.
• Sometimes the sex/penetration isn't shown, you just see their legs and read the text that they're fucking. That's frustrating. E.g. the first scene with Nadia where the text implies the MC is fucking her ass but nothing is shown.
• Unclear what the consequences are of some choices.
• Pregnant women in a few scenes and a worry that if you cum inside then the game might make the girl pregnant (happens several times).
• There are too long story sequences without sex.
• Multiple MCs: Switching to a female MC for parts of the game. It doesn't work, especially not in this type of game where the male MC is dominating the household, fucking all his submissive girls.
• The entire section where you control Shani seems useless and uninteresting. There's no eroticism, sex, or anything interesting.
• During a few sex scenes the MC and others talk about various bullshit irrelevant to the sex. Annoying.
• No Shani anal and no sharing.
• No wife anal. And the only sharing is blowjob/titjob.
• Some sex scenes have no animations.
• Limited repeatable scenes (living room, bedrooms, basement). It's just 1-2 scenes with each girl, or just one slight variation.
• Wasted dev time on cutscenes. These don't add much value. Adding more quest progression and sex content would be better.
• The gallery is missing some scenes. E.g. the one in Igor's tavern where you can share the girls.
• Quick-time-events (QTE). Disabling the QTE doesn't work (bugged).
• Unnecessary gore. I don't care if someone is killed or whatever, but the game just has a ridiculous amount of gore, taking it so far, and I don't see what value it adds.
• A lot of unnecessary dialogue.
• Forced to give oral to some women. Not a big deal but this should be optional in a game essentially about dominating women.
• Some events happen out of order. E.g. meeting Igor's girlfriend in the market before having actually met her and she refers to events that haven't happened yet.
• Relatively little anal compared to vaginal scenes. (The included anal scenes are amazing, just wish there was more than 5 scenes.)
• A few times the MC is an idiot. E.g. He's stupid when during a blowjob the girl wants to take the cum in her mouth but the MC is all "Uh, what? Ah, what are you doing?!"... I mean, 1) it's obvious and 2) why would you try to stop the girl from swallowing.
• Not clear what each faction wants and the consequences of supporting each. The system complicates the progress a bit. I'm not sure if faction choices lock/exclude certain content.
• Not possible to focus on Shani only during the daily harem.
• MC's personality changes drastically in some quests. So generally my MC is super domineering, strict household- and slave master, but then in some quests suddenly he's acting all insecure and weak. E.g. when seeing Ivy naked in the pool.
• Lots of unnecessary combat and action sequences. I wish the dev wouldn't waste time on these renders.
• Forced footjobs.

(version: 0.18.3 )

One of the best, if not the best AVN I've played. Surprisingly interesting story, no forced drama, superb animations and pretty much the whole vibe hits all the right spots.
If you are looking for a game where you can have sex with pretty much everyone, story that seems simple but somehow manages to bring in something extra, then this game is definitely worth it.

The story telling and sex scenes have a nice balance and compliment each other. I particularly appreciate the character development of the various harem members. I'm playing with the walk through recommendations most the time. Highly recommended!

Wow, I just gotta say, Desert Stalker is absolutely killing it. I sat down thinking I’d just poke around for an hour or two to see what the hype was about... and now I’m knee-deep in post-apocalyptic Egypt with a harem of some of the most dangerously gorgeous women I’ve ever seen in a game. Honestly, I can’t believe I didn’t get into it sooner.

The vibe is unreal. The setting alone, post-apocalyptic Egypt, is such a unique and refreshing backdrop. You play as a seasoned scavenger wandering the ruins of a broken world, taking jobs for queens, diving into mutant-infested zones, and somehow juggling all that with a personal life that’s equal parts sweet, messed up, and incredibly hot. And it’s not just set dressing; the world feels alive. Factions, politics, dangerous missions, creepy dreamscapes, it all pulls you in and keeps you there.

What really hooked me is how much the writing respects the player. Your decisions actually matter, this isn’t one of those “choose your own adventure” stories where every path leads to the same ending. You can genuinely shape the future of the world, whether you want to save it or dominate it. And yes, the game delivers on the spice, but it’s wrapped in worldbuilding and character work that make it all hit harder. Every character has personality, history, and depth, and it makes you care about what happens to them.

The presentation is just as strong as the story. The renders are some of the best I’ve seen, cinematic shots, atmospheric lighting, and distinct character designs that don’t feel cookie-cutter. Animations are smooth, the music is perfectly on point, and the sound design adds so much to the atmosphere. Everything works together to make the world feel real. And the MC? Finally, someone competent, confident, capable, but still human enough to feel believable.

If you’re into dark, gritty settings where choices matter, the characters feel alive, and the story keeps you hooked, this game is dangerously easy to lose hours to. For an adult VN, it nails both the storytelling and the visuals. Easily one of the best I’ve played, hands down.

I've only written a few reviews, and will only so for the games that deserve it.

Im in love with the setting and story this game has, post apocalyptic feels taking place in Egypt.
Every girl you'll have interactions with is a looker, plenty of good sexual content mixed in with just as good of writing.

Being new to these games (first one a year ago now) I've played a handful of "the big ones" Being a DIK, eternum, pale carnations, ect. This would be at my personal number 3 spot on the list.

Renders are great, scenes are top quality
I got just about 11 hours of play time total while taking my time, so id say there's probably about 10 hours of content to enjoy at this current build.

It is also one of the best game that I has been played in a since long time and quit increasing story is take place in anywhere in the Egypt where there is everything is wrong it's amazing everything animation sound music characters everything is fabulous just op label

This game has one of the highest ratings ont his site, and I tried to like it, but I couldn't. The general vibes, how characters are introduced just not interesting and looking really cheap, this game looks overrated for me personally

Absolutely loved this one best AVN I've played by far 10/10 . Story is engaging and exciting also the gameplay loop is fun . Some of the best animations and renders I've seen. Also some of the best story writing and world/charter development I've seen. Would highly recommend giving this one a playthrough.

The game in general is excellent, and has higher quality writing and design than a vast majority of material in this space. There's an evident, tangible care for detail and consistency that is solid for any fiction, let alone erotic fiction where it really stands out.

Everything above applies to the sections where you play as the male main character. The one section where you play as the female character is, in my opinion, head-and-shoulders better. There's only one noteworthy erotic encounter in this section, but the tone, the dreamy hellscape setting, the writing, and the player agency all culminate to something really special. This is where the game really felt apocalyptic. If the game in general is a 9 (highly recommend) for an erotic game, that section in the "Zone" is a 10 without a doubt.

I would love to play a game that was 50/50 with our two POV characters; 50% competent, dominant, harem-building wasteland vet, 50% skilled and savvy but inexperienced and vulnerable explorer living moment-to-moment in a very dangerous world where your choices are the difference between relative safety and humiliating defeat in a surreal nightmare world. As it stands now, it's closer to 96% the former, 4% the latter.

- Very intriguing story with lores & excellent original written narratives of its own for a depraved post-apocalypse setting.
- Cool factions, interesting characters & awesome world buildings.
- Consistent & Awesome cinematic shots for the renders with pretty good animations along with music/sounds that fit the theme.
Really like the free roam mechanic of its own with the provided logs for the main/side quests. Hands down, It's just easily one of the best AVNs period.

A very unique, and fucking peak VN. It's genuinely one of the best AVNs in the world, easily a top 3-5 minimum.

A great MC who isn't a bitch, can be stoic and a badass, but also be kind and gentle.

An amazing set of LI's, Zahra especially is perhaps the best wife in any AVN, completely loyal and in love with the MC.

Very nice graphics.

A pretty awesome and engaging story.

Deserves above 5* tbh

Excellent worldbuilding, excellent characters and relations (the complicity with your wife is top notch) and great variety of scenes.
Some cuts to gore can be a little jarring but you can always disable it if you find it too much

Excellent game with a decent story and unique characters set in a post-apocalyptic world. The rich visuals, immersive atmosphere, and haunting music enhance every moment, while the ruthless gore and mature themes make it truly stand out. If you're into dark, brutal worlds with a touch of adult spice, this one's definitely worth checking out.
