Ren'Py 8.4.1 web build
Desert Stalker
Desert Stalker is playing on this page, public build 0.15c. It is also the heaviest build in this catalogue at a measured 114 MB, which is the first thing you should know rather than the last.
Plays on this page. We host the build, so there is nothing to install and nowhere to go. Checked on 2026-08-11.

The size, up front
114 MB. We measured it across the four files the browser fetches, and we are putting it in the second paragraph rather than burying it, because on mobile data that is a decision rather than a detail.
About a third of that is the engine, which every Ren'Py web build carries. The rest is the game, and the reason it is this large is simply the amount of rendered content in it.
Nothing loads until you press play. If you are on a metered connection, come back on wifi. If you are not, the wait is a minute or so and then it is cached for good.
Why a public build is labelled that way
The version reads 0.15c Public, and that word carries meaning in this scene. Projects funded through supporter platforms usually release a build to supporters first and to everyone else a while later.
A public build is not a demo and it is not cut down. It is the same game a few weeks behind the supporter release.
We serve the public one and we say so, because a page claiming to be current when it is a version behind is the kind of small dishonesty this site exists to avoid.
Saves on a game this size
Save export matters more here than anywhere else in this catalogue, purely because of how much time a game this large asks for.
The engine menu carries import and export. Export writes a file to your device that survives a browser cleanup, a cache purge and a device change.
Browser storage does none of that. Ten seconds of exporting against a run measured in evenings is not a close call.
Heavy builds and phone memory
The larger a web build is, the more memory the tab holds, and phone browsers reclaim memory from tabs you are not looking at. That is the operating system working correctly, not the game crashing.
In practice a 114 MB game is the one most likely to reload after you answer a message and come back. The content is all cached by then, so a reload is a wait rather than a loss, but only if you have saved.
If you mostly play in short bursts on a phone, something lighter in this catalogue will treat you better. If you are settling in on a desktop, size stops mattering after the first minute.
Desert Stalker, answered
Why is Desert Stalker so much bigger than the other games here?
Rendered art. About a third of any build is the shared engine, and the rest is content. This project has a lot of it, which puts the measured total at 114 MB.
Do I have to download it?
No. It runs inside this page. Your browser fetches the build to run it and installs nothing.
What does 0.15c Public mean?
It is the public release of build 0.15c. Supporter builds typically come out earlier, and the public one follows. It is a full build, not a demo.
Will it work on my phone?
It runs, but it is the heaviest build here. Start it on wifi and export a save early, because a large tab is the most likely one your phone drops from memory.
