Use the official Steam demo page to install the playable build. As reviewed on 30 September 2026, the full game is listed for Q4 2026, without a confirmed exact release day in the reviewed listing.
Choose the demo, not an unofficial installer
The demo uses Steam app 5165210. The full game’s store page is app 5160800. Keeping those entries separate prevents the demo’s availability from being mistaken for a full release.
The developer’s itch.io page points visitors to Steam. This companion site does not distribute the executable and does not turn the Steam game into a browser version.
What the release window does and does not say
Q4 is a quarter, not an exact launch date. Do not convert that window into a countdown to an invented day. The information here is a source-reviewed snapshot; the official store remains the place to check for a change.
A timer visible inside the demo has also prompted player questions. The existence of that discussion does not establish that the timer is a public release countdown or prove what happens when it expires.
Keep the versions separate
The game’s name appears on unrelated experiences and fan sites. Match the developer and Steam app before following installation instructions.

Before your first session
Check your system against the demo requirements, then use the beginner guide to establish a simple income loop. Do not assume that a save from one distribution or future release can be imported into another. Keep backups and wait for explicit compatibility guidance.
