Manage a City in a Dark Fantasy World with Against the Storm
Against the Storm v1.0 of the dark fantasy city builder game is playable on Linux and Steam Deck with Proton via Windows PC. Thanks to Eremite Games' creative team, the masterminds who crafted the engaging world. Available now on Steam, GOG, and Humble Store with 96% Overwhelmingly Positive.
I've got some exciting news about Against the Storm, a dark fantasy city builder that's all about building and surviving in a challenging world. This title has just moved out of its development phase, which means it's now fully released and packed with new features. Along with Platinum Proton support for Linux and Steam Deck.
So, what's Against the Storm about? Players are in charge of creating and managing a city in a world where the weather is your biggest enemy. You've got to be smart and strategic to keep your city thriving. The world of Against the Storm is unique because it blends elements of survival with city-building. It also takes place in a fantasy realm full of intriguing creatures and settings.
The big news is the introduction of "Queen's Hand" mode. This is a new challenge designed for players who've really gotten the hang of the title. It's like the regular missions you might have tried, but with extra twists and tougher tasks. You'll find important items, called Ancient Seals, are placed far from where you start, and you've got limited time to get to them. This means you'll have to think carefully about every choice, especially when choosing upgrades to help your city survive.

Eremite exhaled as he opened the front door and placed his weapon down.
"I'm home, Y/n." Eremite said as he made his way to the dining room only to see your head poke out from around the corner stopping him in his tracks.
"Welcome back!" You exclaimed with a smile. "What are you doing?" He questioned, raising a brow under his eye mask.
"Nothinggg..." You trailed off and looked off to the side. "Y/n.." "Fineee." You huffed and moved away from the wall that was hiding the rest of your body.
You were currently wearing a dress that was a little too short and some socks that reached up to your knees. Eremite was beyond speechless as his eyes scanned each and every part of your body.
"Happy?" You mumbled, embarrassed and probably rethinking your choices with putting this on. "Very actually." He muttered and approached you.
"You are?" You asked before a small squeak left your mouth as you felt his hands on your hips before bringing you a bit closer. "Just seeing you like this really turns me on.." He whispered making your face heat up quickly.
Eremite looked around for 2 seconds before lifting you up making you instantly wrap your legs around his waist.
He walked over to the table that was nearby and moved anything that was in the way and sat you down on it. "You stay right there, I'll be right back." Eremite said and left the dining room. "Hm, alright." You said and waited for him. Eventually, he came back, but he wasn't empty handed.
He had handcuffs in his hand. "What're you gonna do with those?" You asked him and tilted your head confused. "You'll see... Turn around for me please." Eremite instructed you and you got up and did just that.
He took both of your hands and put them behind your back before using the handcuffs to keep them there. "Oh?" You hummed and looked back at him with a small smirk. "I didn't know you were into this kind of thing." Eremite exhaled through his nose and before you knew it your upper half was slammed onto the table making a surprised grunt leave your mouth.
"No underwear either? How naughty.." Eremite chuckled sending a wave of embarrassment. He felt around your plump ass and gave it a couple squeezes and in response you groaned only for that to turn into a surprised moan when you felt a finger rub up against your hole.
"Such a cute hole." Eremite admitted before plunging his finger inside making you move forward a little bit. He slowly moved his finger around before adding another stretching you out a little bit more making a whine leave your mouth.
Eremite moved his fingers in a scissoring motion and he would thrust and curl them already making your legs shake a bit.
You digged your nails into the palms of your hands, breathy moans being caused by each thrust of his fingers until a third was added, then a fourth making your whole feel slightly full. Once he finished preparing your hole he took his fingers out causing a moan to come from you.
He watched as it clenched onto nothing but air making you seem even more desperate to take in his cock. But he too was already impatient and couldn't wait another second to fill you.
You heard the sound of a belt coming undone before the soft sound of pants touched the ground and some shuffling. You turned your head a little to see Eremite barely clothed and stroking his hard on that was leaking pre-cum and looked as if it was ready to burst any moment now.
Tauntingly you moved your ass up against his cock sending a shiver down his spine. "C'mon... Whatcha waiting for?~" You teased till he finally took a hold of your waist stopping you from rubbing against him.
"You're so impatient." Eremite stated earning a soft giggle. "As if you're even near patient." You giggled until you felt the head of Eremite's cock poke and prod at your hole. Before you knew it, he had slammed into you making your mouth open wide as a moan like scream left your mouth.
Eremite continued his hard and impatient thrust sending you over the edge...literally. Everytime you'd move upwards to the point your feet weren't touching the ground he'd grab the chains of the handcuffs and bring you back towards him, each time he'd get deeper and deeper.
Your moans and gasp were slightly muffled from your face mashing with the table. "You're taking me in so well, Y/n. Good boy~" Eremite praised and with that you came hard with a whiney moan. "You like it when I call you a good boy, yes?" Eremite asked as you nodded.
"Use your words." He order making you whine as his thrust became slower. "Y-...Yes! I'm your..mmn~...good boy!~ Please fuck me!" You cried out, looking behind you with tear filled eyes and a fucked out expression.
He complied with your wish, repositioning himself he quickened his pace making the sound of skin slapping louder along with his balls slapping against your ass.
Along with your moans that increased in pitch making you seem as if you were in heat. The table made a loud bang sound everytime it would hit the wall, good thing you two didn't have neighbors. You bit down hard on your bottom lip once you came again, your body shaking from the sudden orgasm.
Eremite leaned on you your back a little as he traveled one of his hands to your cock that was once again hard and smeared any of the previous cum on the head sending you into pure bliss. If it wasn't for him being so close, you would have surely been on the ground due to your legs giving out.
Eremite kissed your exposed shoulder and cheek that was wet from tears.
His grunting more audible this time from how close he was along with a slight moan. You were clenching hard around his cock making it hard for him to last any longer.
Eremite bit down on your shoulder before doing one last thrust and bottoming out and finally releasing his seed inside you. His thrust became softer and slower before finally halting. Small moans and whines were coming from you due to the aftershocks of getting fucked to your limit.
"You alright?" Eremite whisper as he moved some of the hair that stuck to your face.
"Yeah.." You breathed out and gave his lips a quick kiss. Eremite eventually pulled out making you groan due to the cold air blowing at your hole and his seed leaking out of you little by little.
"My my~ I did a really good job this time." Eremite chuckled after seeing how puffy your hole was. "Shuddup..!" You huffed as he took off the handcuffs. You stood up only to quickly grab onto him, nearly falling.
"Oho~ Looks like I'll have to carry you for awhile as well~" He teased making you groan.

why is the traveler exercising racial prejudice against people from the Sumeru desert? why do they respond with such hostility to the exact same kind of kindness and greeting that they receive with open arms from the light-skinned local majority?
WHAT REASON IS THERE FOR THIS?
The locals in the rainforest region have been socially conditioned which doesn’t make it ok by ANY means (racism is always wrong) but it makes unfortunate sense. The people from the desert are trying to keep up their religious and cultural practices as refugees. And the tragedy of that is that the people in the rainforest region of Sumeru will only accept them if they assimilate. Worship their god, follow their social customs. And yeah, some of them resort to crime because they are being active discriminated against and still have families to feed!
But that all brings me back around to THIS
They did nothing weird. They just said hello. The only thing that makes them different from the other people we’ve met so far is that they have darker skin and are dressed in the clothes of their own culture.
AGAIN NOTHING IS WEIRD ABOUT THIS. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME KIND OF KINDNESS AND FRIENDLINESS WE HAVE RECIEVED FROM VARIOUS FOREST RANGERS, SCHOLARS, AND OTHER LOCALS.
The only thing that makes it different is that this group is from an ethnic minority. And yes they did turn out to be shady, but that’s a fault of writers and I was so disappointed because they are the only significant dark-skinned characters we met so far (they really just went for mild tan on the playable ones - I mean these are the only significant actually darker skinned characters).
And the Traveler has NO REASON to have this kind of prejudice. They’re new to this nation. They have met people from all different cultural and ethnic backgrounds though out their travels. Not really any dark-skinned characters except for Xinyan and Kaeya because the devs apparently don’t like to give us dark-skinned characters, BUT they still have been to three very different nations at this point. They have no reason to be immersed in the racial prejudice that plagues Sumeru.
The writers for this particular quest just decided that the Traveler was going to think they were sus for not reason other than their appearances.
Which brings me to THIS
The Traveler and Paimon don’t even question it. They don’t think “oh that man is sus” no they go “wow these are bad people”. Despite some old (presumably an immigrant from elsewhere in Teyvat or from the ethnic majority) man from the Akademiya hiring them to get a mushroom. Which is a perfectly harmless thing. There is nothing criminal about that. And when the Traveler threatens violence (because even when you go the diplomacy rout you can’t have them NOT threaten violence) Lunja gives in to their demands because she doesn’t want her boys to be hurt.
She walks off saying that the Traveler had better watch their back and that is VALID. YEAH. She has ever right to hold a grudge. The Traveler was unequivocally in the wrong here. Lunja and her boys don’t know about the mushroom’s significance to the Aranara. Not once does the Traveler try to explain the situation. They just assume the worst and go for the throat.
I hate this quest with a passion. I had to stop playing for a bit because I was so mad and now I’m just clicking through the dialogue and breezing through the subsequent tasks to be done with the Aranara and going back to the main quest because this isn’t okay. And I’m pissed off that they had an opportunity to say something meaningful and they didn’t.
They just decided to be racist.
