The free two-hour Windows demo is live on Steam. Begin with Lone Settler or Quick Start, then explore farming, crafting, rebalanced weapons, a rebuilt research tree, growing herds, and better expedition planning. The demo is an early work-in-progress, not the paid Early Access release; Early Access is planned for Q1 2027. The old itch.io browser and Windows demos are retired.
