planned full release

Gaming Minds Studios develops the game and Kalypso Media publishes it. The official launch announcement identifies this as the first campaign mission. It does not establish that every system advertised for the full game is available in the demo.

Steam dates the demo to 19 October 2026; the official demo and preorder announcement followed on 20 October. The Steam store still listed its download on 27 October. No exact removal time, save-transfer rule or reliable demo-length estimate is confirmed here.

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 want to test a contained campaign mission before buying a city builder.
  • You enjoy arranging production and transport around an island settlement.

Maybe skip it if

  • You need confirmation of every full-game system in the demo.
  • You want a verified long sandbox or a confirmed save-transfer promise.

Full-game release and sources

Full release planned for 28 January 2027. Demo availability was checked on 27 October 2026; a listed download does not guarantee that a build will remain available indefinitely.
