Fast answer
The demo contains an introduction and five raids, supports solo or up to four players in co-op, and does not transfer progress to the full game. The full game entered Early Access on September 17, 2026. Use its current patch rules for Storage, themed raid loot, Kitchen skills and professions rather than treating older demo menus as current.
Features explicitly confirmed for the demo
Steam states that the demo includes the introductory portion and five raids, playable solo or online in a group of up to four. It also explicitly rules out importing demo progress into the full version.
- Five raids in the demo — official Steam description.
- Solo or up to four players in co-op — official Steam description.
- No demo progress transfer — official Steam description.
0.0.0.858: equipment and raid rewards
The November 5 update adds the Incendiary Shotgun, moves newly acquired items into Storage and replaces standard guaranteed resource kits with themed loot. It also strengthens profession-based skill chances and shows total per-shot shotgun damage across all pellets.
- Equip new items from Storage before the next sortie.
- Read themed loot contents in the raid card tooltip.
- Do not multiply displayed shotgun damage by pellet count again.
- Read a recruit’s actual profession and skills before selecting them.
0.0.0.850: Kitchen and squad progression
The October 30 update adds Cook and Baker, four green Kitchen skills and new food-related cards. Raid squad members receive one quarter of the playable character’s earned XP; fallen fighters now gain XP too. Existing-save players can see the profession change in candidates arriving at the Tavern over the following days.
- Compare current recipe outputs after assigning Kitchen staff.
- Read New Stove as one free, instant next Kitchen upgrade.
- Check later Tavern arrivals rather than expecting current skills to reroll.
- Review the full raid squad when planning XP and recovery.
0.0.0.833: revival and necromancer controls
The October 23 update adds a revival button in the fallen character menu and clearer Clinic actions. Raise Dead can turn walking dead into allies in the Necrotic Zone, while the Necrotech Skull description points to its use in the skill tree.
- Use the fallen character’s menu for roster revival.
- Assign a doctor other than the patient.
- Use the skill tree for a Necrotech Skull.
- Keep a combat summon separate from a base revival action.
