As launch gets closer, our demo has been getting some extra love 💫

With the ongoing Steam Next Fest and our release date announcement, it was the perfect time to upgrade and update our demo! You can now explore the early parts of Collector’s Cove with an overall improved experience!

• [p]We fully "tutorialized" the demo with added story and dialogue, just like in the main game, giving you a way smoother introduction into the game![/p]
• [p]We implemented a bunch of quality-of-life changes to more easily track your progress as a Collector.
