Which Steam version should you look for?

The playable Demo has app ID 4349200. The main game listing has app ID 4348910 and currently gives October 28, 2026 as its planned release date. These are separate store entries. Check which one a guide or video discusses before following its opening choices or progression advice.

Sources checked September 29, 2026: Demo store page and full-game store page.

Version What is established by the official listing
Earlier Steam Playtest Used as the comparison baseline in the Demo content notes
September Demo Released September 14, 2026; three starting scenarios plus hardcore mode
Full game Planned for October 28, 2026; not a playable release verified by this guide

What changed for the Demo?

The Demo page gives a short comparison with the earlier Playtest. Water Merchant now starts with testing and purification equipment, the Toolbox is included, and the Bottle Printer and Vacuum Robot can be upgraded. Treat that as a confirmed change list, not a complete inventory of every difference between builds.

Official Demo change Why it matters when reading an older guide
Water Merchant starts with a water testing and purification kit An old equipment-acquisition route may not match this opening
One new machine and one new item Older item lists may be incomplete
Toolbox added Inventory and tool-handling footage may show an older workflow
Bottle Printer can be upgraded An old guide may omit its upgrade path
Vacuum Robot can be upgraded An old guide may describe only its earlier behavior

The water guide covers the roles of testing and treatment tools. For more general controls and trading decisions, use the beginner guide.

Why do some pages list more starting professions?

The Demo’s explicit content list says three starting scenarios plus hardcore mode. The same store page also contains broader promotional text naming several professions. That general description does not establish that every named profession is selectable in the Demo. The dedicated Demo Content section is the more specific statement.

The extracted game data contains additional scenario names and descriptions. Their presence also does not prove that the current menu exposes them. Our starting-scenario comparison separates a description found in the data from an available opening.

Does this page guarantee save transfer or full-game availability?

No. This comparison does not establish a full-game save-transfer policy or promise that a particular old save loads without problems. A feature advertised for the full release is not proof of its implementation in the Demo. Check the announcement for the exact release you are moving to before replacing a save.

The item reference uses a specific extracted build, Demo 049-Rev5-L. Its base values should not be silently applied to every Playtest or future release.
