Hey!! This is the biggest demo update ever!

Since there are so many changes, I tried to only list important stuff here.

Most of this past year has been spent working on content for the full game. This paid content will only be available in the final game:
entities, planes, occult tech tree, fully explorable starting area, multiple maps / level locations, last level, more puzzles, achievements, and some more secret stuff.

But enough has changed that I wanted to do a giant demo update for everyone.

Thank you for reading this far :]. I am working hard on the final version of the game, stay tuned for a launch date announcement!

Hop in the discord if you find any bugs / have any comments on the game especially the new systems!

This demo update is so large that I just started a new demo save file, so your progress wont carry over from the older demo build. (I will never do this for the paid game).
