Desert Stalker 0.18.4
🕑 Added 2025-04-13 20:59:52 +0000 UTCHey all! It's time for a new release! So, what's in it?
This time we've been hush hush about the content about the Queen in the dev logs leading up to it, but here's a breakdown:
Aside from two scenes with her, another part of the update is focused on a day out with Ain. There are also two events with Emilia that fill in her last missing quest steps. And if you choose to spend the night at Krait and Fangs’ bunker, they might have something going on too.
Lastly, a small but special feature has been added. You’ll know it when you see it, and it might be a fun little extra for some. >:)
___________________
The update had a number of different paths and picture variants. We are (still) catching up, and it might take some days. Here are the known issues still in need of fixing:
The quest Courting the Crown might look bugged in the quest log if you haven’t romanced the Queen. (The new content is only for players who flirted with her earlier.)
The living room part of Ain’s scene doesn’t yet have variations based on whether Fairy or Kateryna have joined.
Other than that, everything should be ready to check out. We hope you enjoy it - and as always, thank you for the support. This game wouldn’t be here without you, and I hope the new update shows again how much we care about it.

I just added another mac download. Gofile regularily disabled downloads that are not used frequently
Idioteque
There are no mac versions available now to download
Desert Stalker

Gibbsy
Zetan, can you reup the Mac link on Gofile? It's expired.
shike langtou
Hi! Please help us to get the Mac download link. Thanks
Andreas
Hi. I'm new here and just downloaded the game, but can't get it to run on my mac. Please help and thanks

That would be natural on that society to gain political favors.
Desert Stalker
hey, directly message me if you want, I can tell you where :)
SDChaos
Hey Zetan. I would like to report bugs and errors to you. Where can I do this?
Grego
Hey Zetan, translate to portuguese, please
Mehmet Ali Er
Zahra sharing scene pls
Ugweed
i'd love to share Ain and the wife with political rivals (slavers, the withered etc)

Great content! Great work being done! The scend with the queen really payed off! New content: in termos storywise i dont any, like to surprised, but maybe one New scene for Shani in the living room! Keep up the good work! Just some reworks: Our first time with Shani? And some scenes in the living room. Those repeatabel.
Wyatt Weeks
You're amazing, the work and time you put in really shows how much you like doing this and want to put out the best content. Can't wait to play the update.
Desert Stalker
The Android file is the apk file
Mark Pollock
Can't find the Android version? Perhaps both links are the PC/Mac link?
Dragonking
Is that Emilia’s content done now :(
yingxi li
Also, I would like to ask if there will be such a big version update every 3 months. I know it takes a lot of time to make these contents, but it is really a bit too little.
Desert Stalker
Hi, in 2 days
Matt Lee
Another great update! The build up & pay off with the Queen was rewarding but (call me strange) I found 'taking care' of Emilia to be more touching. I really appreciate the option of being able to control how I behave towards NPCs, given that they're all so engaging.

Hello Zetan! I actually got DS on Steam. I was wondering what the ETA is for the update to hit the platform. Can you tell me when it drops?
Desert Stalker
Hi, usually not during early access as it takes longer to translate 10k+ lines, especially since we keep changing some here and there
yingxi li
hello Zetan! I am new around here so I want to know when will other languages translations be finished
FRage
The scene with the queen may be my favourite so far, please let it go further in that story path. Great update :D
Sir Witchblade
Sweet, downloading as we speak and can't wait to play the new episode in about 20 minutes :). And extra thanks to you Zetan for making this episode as fast as you did; also take a breather now :).
Desert Stalker
Hi and welcome, on this site you have to manually download the game from the link provided and install it to a seperate location. Eventually, steam will be updated automatically after the early access period. Your saves will work regardless, no matter whether you start from your manual download or the steam one. Hope that answers it :)
General Eric
hello Zetan! I am new around here so I was confused and wondering, am I able to update my purchased version in steam itself or do I need to keep downloading the files everytime for updates?
Desert Stalker
That's great to read! 🙏
Dav B
What perfection was this in the new update???? I was amazed at the scene of Queen Merneith, a magnificent scene.
Desert Stalker
Thanks, as I said above some animations still have to be added, there were some issues
Evoq Just
Hi, Zetan! Good work, nice update! But I wonder why is no animation in both Queen’s events? Is this some bug or animation really isn‘t?
Desert Stalker
The translators are starting to work on it soon
Dav B
Don't have the Spanish translation yet?
KjSells
I'm trying to install the new update on Android and I keep getting app not installed. How can I resolve this issue. Thanks.
Desert Stalker
Were working on it! Edit: should be ready now
Declan Reynolds
