[hr][/hr][p]Q3: Will demo progress carry over to the full game? A3: Unfortunately, no. The demo and full version are separate builds.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]Q4: Is the game available on Mac? [/p][p]A4: Not natively. However, you may be able to run the game using third-party tools such as Whisky or CrossOver.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]Q5: Can I play with keyboard and mouse? A5: Yes! Keyboard and mouse controls are supported, and key prompts are shown in-game.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]Q6: Is the game playable on Steam Deck? A6: Yes, it works well on Steam Deck and has been officially verified by Steam.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]Q7: Does it support Xbox and PS controllers? A7:[/p]
  1. [p]Xbox: Fully supported, with in-game button prompts.[/p]
  2. [p]PlayStation and other: Supported, but it may require setup via Steam input. Please go to Steam Settings - Controller, and:[/p]
  • [p]Enable Steam Input for Xbox controllers[/p]
  • [p]Enable PlayStation controller support[/p]
  • [p]Enable Steam Input for Switch Pro controllers[/p]
  • [p]Enable Steam Input for generic controllers[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

A9:[/p][p]🛋️Local / Couch Multiplayer: [/p][p]Requires multiple controllers. For example, 2 players = 2 controllers; 4 players = 4 controllers.[/p][p]*PS: You can't use "keyboard + controller" for 2P on the same PC, sorry. We'd really love to support this feature, and we actually tried a lot to make it work, but it's unfortunately very complex to implement with our current engine. [/p][p][/p][p]🎮Online Multiplayer: [/p][p]Each player will need to own a copy of the game to play together online.[/p]
  1. [p]After launching the game, select "Host Online Game" to create a room.[/p]
  2. [p]A 6-digit room code will be generated. Share it with your friend(s)![/p]
  3. [p]They can then join by selecting "Join Online Game" and entering the code.[/p]
[p]💡Tip: You can also try Steam Remote Play, which allows one player to host and others to join without owning the game. However, please note that this method may be less smooth than using the built-in online mode.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]Q10: Is Steam Family Sharing supported? A10: Yes![/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]Q11: Will you support a Friend Pass? [/p][p]A11: Not at the moment.

A12: Yes![/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]Q13: Will there be modding or Steam Workshop support?
