Before you start
- Steam demo and publisher description checked October 1, 2026. The demo is listed; the full game remains coming soon. Kingy has not installed the demo or tested import, menus or save slots.
Keep the demo save; preserve any existing full-game save
The Steam description says to retain the demo save for party and reserve monster transfer. Keep it while preparing your full-game purchase. If you already have a full-game save when applying this guide, preserve it: this notice does not explain redemption into an existing save, import selection or whether a new game affects other slots. Do not delete, restart or overwrite a save on the strength of these instructions.
The current Steam US listing still marks the full game as coming soon for December 3, 2026. The demo API identifies a released demo of this exact game, rather than a released full game. Listed access is source evidence; installation and gameplay have not been tested by Kingy.

Prepare party and reserves: up to eight monsters, not a complete save
The demo runs from the beginning through the conclusion of events in Witherwood, and only rank G and F monsters can be befriended. Its notice describes an eight-monster limit but does not show a selection/import screen. This guide therefore gives preparation checks without inventing an import menu or a route to unlock the depot.
- Keep the demo save on the gaming platform you intend to use for the full game.
- Prepare the desired monsters in the demo’s main party and reserves, within the advertised maximum of eight transferred monsters.
- Expect those monsters in the full-game depot at level 1 with default talents.
- Once the depot is unlocked in the full game, the notice says you can add transferred monsters to your party.
| Demo investment | Advertised full-game result |
|---|---|
| Up to eight monsters in main party and reserves | Transferred to the depot on the same gaming platform |
| Raised levels | Reset to level 1 |
| Developed talents | Default talents on transferred monsters |
| Acquired items and gold | Do not transfer |
| Story progress or an entire save | No complete-progress transfer established by this notice |

Demo bonuses: same account and PC, then the announced new-game route
For a player preparing to start the upcoming full game, retain the demo save and the account/PC used to create it, then follow the publisher’s announced “Start New Game” instruction once the full game is accessible. The notice does not describe later redemption into an existing full-game save. That case needs further official guidance before any save-changing action.
The demo’s Wrangler’s Bundle contains one Ring of Impulse, one Bonus Ball and five Smoked Sirloins. It is a full-game bonus, separate from items acquired while playing the demo, which do not transfer. The same-account/device wording is expressly a bonus condition; the monster-transfer sentence separately names the same gaming platform.
| Check | Publisher’s condition |
|---|---|
| Monster transfer | Demo and full game played on the same gaming platform |
| Demo bonus eligibility | Same account on the same console or PC used to create the demo save; for this Steam guide, keep the same account and PC |
| Bonus claim | Select “Start New Game” at the full game’s title screen; bonus content cannot be claimed in the demo |

Monsters or bonuses missing: check the documented boundary first
These checks describe the announced procedure and its limits. They do not diagnose a tested import failure, guarantee bonus detection, or establish cross-platform save migration. Record the platform, account/device continuity and the exact symptom if the announced conditions do not explain it.
| Expectation or symptom | What to check before concluding |
|---|---|
| Trying to claim the bundle in the demo | Bonus content is for the full game. |
| Expecting trained levels or talents | Transferred monsters start at level 1 with default talents. |
| Expecting demo inventory or gold | Those acquired resources do not transfer. |
| No transferred monster available to add to the party yet | The full-game depot must be unlocked. No exact unlock quest is verified here. |
| A different platform for the full game | The stated monster transfer requires the same gaming platform. |
| A different account or PC for bonus redemption | The bonus notice requires the account and device that created the demo save. |
| Already using a full-game save | Existing-save redemption and slot behavior are unresolved; preserve the save and seek applicable official guidance. |
