Demo access, content and save transfer

Quick answer

The historical Steam demo introduced three base worlds and the overworld. Its announcement promises save transfer into the full Steam game. At the October 8 check, the demo listing redirected to the Steam homepage and the full-game listing had no demo download link. Current demo access and actual save-transfer behavior remain unconfirmed.

October 15: partial Skipping Stones progress loss

The October 15 update bumps the first Skipping Stones level’s version to correct problems introduced in October 14 r67121. The developer warns that an existing partial save loses progress within that one level. Other game progress is unaffected, and a first level already completed or never started is unaffected according to the notice. Keep an untouched backup; the announcement supplies no method to restore that lost partial progress.

Find the correct demo

The June demo announcement links separate Steam app 4597250. At the October 8, 08:12 UTC check, that URL redirected to the Steam homepage, and the main game page offered no demo download link. Current access is unconfirmed; this does not establish whether an existing installation remains playable.

The original June 15–22 Next Fest window was extended to June 26 at 10 AM PT. Both windows have passed. Treat the old download invitation and extension as history, not an active offer.

What is in the demo?

The June demo announcement described roughly 110 levels including its early material; a subsequent update describes the earlier 75-puzzle build growing to more than 100 puzzles. These are descriptions of different demo builds, not a consistent numbered catalogue. The later update adds the Bard, the Druid, more overworld content and puzzles in which worlds merge.

Check your completed-puzzle count

Steam player ut reported this route in the June demo: press Escape, choose the option described as “load another save,” then inspect the completed-puzzle count shown for your current save. Treat this as a historical menu tip: we have not reproduced it on the current branch. The report does not establish a current completion percentage or a universal total.

What carries over?

The publisher’s save-transfer promise covers the Steam demo into the full Steam game. Actual transfer behavior, cross-platform transfers, cloud conflicts and final launch save paths are unconfirmed. Keep your existing save intact and check launch instructions before replacing it.

The October 12 update awards missing achievements on load for demo players. It does not confirm save transfer, cross-platform compatibility or recovery of lost progress.

Can I use a controller or share footage?

The demo announcement supports controller and mouse/keyboard play and permits sharing demo footage. The Mirror Isles atlas contains walkthroughs checked against recorded June demo gameplay. Match your starting layout before using a route.
