Trial or Demo

[MonSlip]

I would like to be able to try the game in demo or pilot tutorial before buying it because of the comments read saying that the difficulty is too great

Buy it. Try it for 2 hours. There is your demo.

Having the launcher open counts as playing. So don't diddle around.

It's a trial, and that's why there is no official demo ;)

You could download the game manual and have a look through it, see if it looks complex or okay for you?

While this is a solution for the OP's problem, it's not really a solution we as customers should accept; lest developers decide that it's okay to not bother with a demo because of the Steam refund system (which isn't intended for that purpose).

For example, Prey developer Arkane stated that they didn't see a reason to make a PC demo because the Steam refund system exists, which is rediculous.

but there is a demo, just follow the link that SeeJay posted.
Will bring you to a forum topic with a download link, its a 1,5GB download that lets you play the tutorials.

No strings attached, so that says demo to me :P you can try it fly a bit around and decide if the game is something for you before you buy the full product ;)

Thank you all !

i havent tried this link, but im a 100 % certain that the Trial does exist as Fronteir stated so once long long ago, it is also pertinent to state that the "Trial" is about 3 years old and hasnt been updated to the point where the Tutorial missions are at in game so its a tad outdated and may not represent the Product as it currently is

Demo is from February 2015 and it was not updated since. I bet it does not have vr
