Start the full game and preserve your demo progress

The publisher estimates about ten hours. A hands-on reviewer took substantially longer with optional content; it is not a timer or completion target. Viewer and Movie modes are absent from the trial.

1. Check whether you already have 1st Chapter clear data before starting; the demo can recognise it for a costume bonus.
2. Choose settings you can comfortably read and control, then create a manual save after the opening.
3. Work through the tutorials before trying to optimise a party. The trial is long enough to revisit combat and optional activities.

The game is available now. The official site lists September 17, 2026; Steam displays September 16 in its storefront metadata. Both were checked October 8. Use your platform’s listing for its release date; no universal unlock hour is inferred.

The full-game platforms are PS5, Switch, Switch 2 and Steam. A Switch demo on Switch 2 does not establish the native edition’s performance.

The official site frames this as Estelle’s search for Joshua across Liberl after his disappearance. If you have not finished 1st Chapter, decide whether to complete it first: the opening assumes that continuity and the official story page contains spoilers.

For a continuing file, update the full game before importing. For a new file, start from the full-game title screen and keep a manual save at the end of each major chapter. The release edition adds the chapters and systems that were outside the trial; exact remake-only missables remain labelled in their dedicated guides.

1. Confirm the storefront and account you intend to use.
2. Apply the current update before loading or transferring the demo save.
3. Keep the original demo file until the imported save has been opened, checked and saved again.
4. Open the chapter checklist before leaving a region so optional work is a deliberate choice rather than an accidental miss.
