The countdown is officially in the single digits. As we prepare for our full launch this Monday, we’ve pushed one final, big update to the Demo (v1.5.2).

  • Hybrid Mode QoL: By popular demand, you can now skip the day in Hybrid Mode to keep the pace exactly where you want it.

Technical Polish

  • Keybindings & Controller Support: Full keyboard support is now live with dynamic input glyphs (visual icons for your keys/buttons). We’ve also overhauled controller responsiveness for a smoother, snappier experience.

  • Compendium Tweaks: Navigation and data layouts have been refined for better clarity.

  • Steam Deck: We’re in the final stages of official verification! The demo is already fully playable on handheld, and we’d love to hear how it feels on your Deck.
