into Early Access

The demo includes Act 1 of the story and caps skills at level 60. Games by Malcs says most content below that cap is included, with Astrology, Herblore and Agility excluded. Its launch post gives conflicting totals for the included skills, so an exact skill count is left out here.

Your demo save can be converted for Early Access. The developer says the demo will remain available for a few weeks after Next Fest; it has not given an exact closing day. Its estimate of 10–12 hours to reach level 60 applies to one optimally trained skill, not the total length of the demo.

Player reception and who this demo suits

A reliable aggregate for the separate demo app could not be verified. This does not mean the demo has no reviews, and the full game’s review label is not used as a substitute. This profile is based on official descriptions, not a Crit Pick playthrough.

Try the demo if

  • You enjoy planning how one resource or skill supports another.
  • You want idle progression with quests to guide your next goal.

Maybe skip it if

  • You want to control every attack in real time.
  • You want a finished campaign rather than an evolving demo.
