Hey everyone,
The latest update of Desert Stalker is finally here!
Release highlights
In update 0.19, we see the MC going back into the desert, where him & Shani embark on a mission together. Aside from that, we also have some bathroom fun with Shani, two new living room events, and a short trip to the beloved Raiders' new base.
PS: Regarding the main event of this update, our plans for it were so big that we needed to split it in two parts, similar to the Zone, so the continuation will come in the next update.
Given that it involves the MC leaving his home, you will not be able to return before the next update (we will warn you in-game when that point is reached).
We would suggest to leave that content for last, or keep a separate save before that if you want to (re-)visit the various other activities around the house.
P.S. #2: The Spanish, Russian and Traditional Chinese translations are still being worked on by our translators. As soon as they become available to us, we will update the game accordingly.
