What a player relayed, and what the studio did not post
One player on the “demo unavailable” thread said the developer told them the demo was over and that the price would be $9.99 ($7.99 at launch). That is a relay, not a post from the studio account. I do not upgrade it to an official statement. A second thread, “Why close the demo?”, has a popular guess about copycats. I leave that as community speculation. There is no public shutdown announcement to quote.
Pages that still say the demo is up
- Playin.gg still showed “Demo Available” when I read it on 13 Nov 2026. That listing is stale.
- A G2A News FAQ dated around launch still answers “Is there a demo?” with yes, and only mentions the 6 Oct launch. It does not mention the delisting.
How to play now
Buy the full game on Steam. Saves from the demo were supposed to carry over if you still have them, according to the 9 Oct studio note. Some forum posts describe file edits that try to revive a removed demo. I am not reprinting those steps. They touch account and file integrity, and the store itself no longer offers the demo.
French and Russian readers asking where the demo went have the same answer on the French demo page and the Russian demo page. Price details live on the price page.
Questions
Will the demo come back?
No studio post says it will. The only dated plan in public is the full release, which already happened on 10 Nov 2026.
Do demo saves still work?
The 9 Oct 2026 studio note says demo saves carry into the full game. I have no later post that cancels that.
