Desert Stalker 0.16b
Hey everyone, it's been longer than usual but here's 0.16!

Now... where to start with this one... There was this cute guard from 10 updates ago or so, I'm sure you all remember her. It finally is her time to shine. She gets a full quest line in one update, a chunk of work comprising of over 500 images, animations and multiple quest steps.

The major scenes also include Kateryna, a date with Zahra, and even the Queen gets some screen time. Apart from that, there are lots of small additions here and there and reworks, detailed in the changelog below.

Keep in mind regarding the NSFW scenes that a couple of animations are still being worked on. The vast majority are already in the game.

It's our first time putting most of a character's arch into one single update. Let's call it an experiment. Let us know what you think.

Thank you for your huge support!! I hope you're enjoying this one. For any bugs, always feel free to post them in the comments or via DM.
