FIELD GUIDE CHECKED SEP 27, 2026 · PATCH 0.4.5

Demo availability and scope

The free Steam demo was updated with the September 17 Early Access release. Old demo saves are incompatible with that updated demo; use the demo_0.3.0 branch to continue an older demo campaign.

Current EA changes that affect this page

The game now keeps four autosaves per playthrough instead of ten. Manual saves are not deleted by this retention change. The EA launch announcement warns that old demo saves are incompatible with the updated demo. The older demo remains on the demo_0.3.0 branch for existing playthroughs.

Which demo description applies?

The original June announcement described Kuttenberg, Smith, Innkeeper and Alchemist, with 17 turns and an estimated two to four hours of play. That is a dated description, not a guarantee of every later demo build. The July update added the tutorial settlement and changed gameplay and UI.

Start with the tutorial town

Choose Landsfort Herle when you want guided tasks in a small map. The July notes say tutorial texts are retained in the City Archives. This is a useful recovery route if you dismiss a prompt before reading it.

Saves and later updates

The September launch update is incompatible with earlier demo saves. The official fallback is demo_0.3.0 for older playthroughs. Later 0.4.5 notes expect existing EA saves to work and offer version_0.4.1 as a rollback if needed; these are different compatibility questions.
