Is "Buried Secrets" able to be completed in the demo?

Great demo, I had a lot of fun playing.
I've read the clue from the painting about the treasure of the Santa Fury but can't figure out what "from the center of the three" refers to. I think it may refer to three islands off the east coast that are inaccessible in the demo, is that the case?

As some feedback, I initially thought I was supposed to go the crab caves right from the get-go, gave up out of frustration and then when I went north towards the farmhouse I immediately ran into the dire (wolves?). I was about ready to quit because of the difficulty; maybe moving those wolves a bit further west to guide the player to the farmhouse would have made my path more obvious.

Pretty much the same question as OP, cant figure out where is the starting point for the counting of spaces in the poem :D

It's been so long since the contest for the Santa Fury was finished but I will include spoilers just in case some people are still holding out to solve it themselves:

You need to go into the Lighthouse Map. West of the lighthouse building, you'll see three stones in a grassy area laid out in a triangular configuration. The center of the triangle is the starting point. Just follow the number of steps suggested in the poem, from that location, and you will reach the site at which you are supposed to dig.

It makes sense in hindsight that this would be the location, as you need a wide open space near the lighthouse, in order to follow the instructions.

Thanks! Was there a real contest about finding the treasure?

Yes, sometime between Dec 2022 and Jan 2023, there was a contest in which the first 5 players to solve the puzzle (and send the screenshot proving it) was given a free key to any game in the publisher's catalog,

I downloaded the demo about 2 weeks after the contest concluded. Not that I would have solved it on my own anyway. I asked for help on the game's Discord, after the event.

Doesn't seem to work for me. ***Fixed it*** Correct below
I stand in the middle of the three stones (far left of the lighthouse)
2 down
5 right
4 up
3 right

I wish they had used the "I notice something" mechanics when getting near to these sorts of places. Its always the same in this type of game. You need to be mega observant or just lucky! ^^
