It says the demo has been localized into several languages, and the public Steam listings now show 22 supported interface and subtitle languages. That still reads as a polish-and-accessibility signal rather than a final release-date announcement.

February 22, 2026 — “Demo Expanded: New Traps, Character Creation, and More”

Most recent public devlog post

Steam announcement

January 21, 2026 — “Now It's Personal: Introducing Character Customization”

What Players Should Do Next

If you want to play now

Use the browser demo on the homepage or grab the Windows demo from itch.io. If performance is rough in one browser, the official itch.io page specifically suggests trying a different browser or the downloadable build.

If you want release alerts

Wishlist Trees Hate You on Steam. That is the clearest official signal for release timing because the Steam page is the public listing for the upcoming full version.

If you want official news

Check the itch.io page, itch.io devlog, Steam store page, and Steam demo page first. Use Discord or YouTube as extra context, but treat the official listings and Steam announcement surfaces as the source of truth for release and demo status.
