Quick answer

The Steam demo ends after two hours or when you reach its main-story milestone, whichever comes first. It covers the first biome. A developer says older saves need a new game to use the increased two-hour limit.

Where to get the demo

Open the official Steam page and look for the demo download. Store availability can change, so use the live page rather than a third-party installer.

Time limit and story cutoff

The current demo listing sets two limits: two hours of play or a main-story milestone. Reaching that milestone can end the trial before the clock runs out. The demo covers the first biome, and the store says you can start over as many times as you like.

Why does my demo still end early?

In the September 2026 time-limit discussion, a developer said existing saves need to be replaced with a new game to use the increased two-hour limit. Keep any save you want to preserve before changing files; starting a new game is not the same as deleting all saved data.

Will progress carry into the full game?

The sources checked for this page do not confirm save transfer. Do not plan around it until the developer or the released game confirms compatibility.
