Desert Stalker will be a reasonably open gameplay experience that encourages multiple playthroughs with different optional paths like many classic roleplaying games. The game has an optional censor to hide controversial content like gore and excessive violence. If you like the idea of what I’m working on, feel free to support me through patreon or subscribestar. Cheers!

– Storytelling that focuses on a solid plot as well as the everyday life at home
– Optional filters to avoid almost all kinds of non-vanilla content
– Some of your decisions will ultimately alter the way the story goes
– Fully covered music and sound effects bringing more atmosphere to the game
– Freely selectable events and missions through the world map; no grinding mechanics whatsoever
As the game progresses, I am investing in the necessary resources to make it as pretty and engaging as I can. Paying for those improvements is where the bulk of your contributions come into play.
