Notice Regarding Changes to Demo Content Availability

First of all, I would like to sincerely thank everyone who has enjoyed playing Mistworld.

I am writing this post to provide clarification regarding the playable portions of the game.

Originally, Mistworld’s full story structure was planned as follows: Prologue – Chapter 1 – Chapter 2 – Chapter 3 – Epilogue, for a total of five chapters.

Among these, the demo version was initially intended to include only the Prologue, with an estimated playtime of approximately 1 to 2.5 hours.

Recently, Mistworld participated in Stove’s Indie Boost Lab program for promotional and demo feedback purposes.

However, due to an upload mistake during the Stove build submission process, content up to Chapter 1 and the early portion of Chapter 2 became accessible.

From a development perspective, these later sections had reached a certain level of completion. However, given the realities of solo development, I had been restructuring Chapter 2 while adjusting the overall scope of the story to ensure the project remains realistically manageable.

Chapters 1 and 2 were originally planned to be revealed at the time of Early Access. However, due to my oversight, the lock mechanism preventing progression beyond the Prologue did not function properly, and content beyond Chapter 1 became publicly playable.

After discovering this issue, I updated the demo file to once again restrict access beyond the Prologue. However, some players had already progressed into Chapter 1 and beyond.

Had this occurred prior to the Indie Boost Lab period, it might have been handled differently. However, restricting access at this stage would create inconsistent player experiences between users.

Therefore, since Stove users had already progressed through the revised Chapter 1 content and the early portion of Chapter 2, I have decided to officially make these in-development sections publicly available.

Accordingly, I would like to inform you that on Steam as well, the playable range has now been expanded to include the early portion of Chapter 2.

Thank you for your understanding.
