"DEMO OUT NOW"?
The steam trailer very clearly says "demo out now" at ~1:24.

Can someone link me? I can't find it on the steam page.

thank you!

EDIT: I have spent some time looking on the developer page. Same trailer that makes very blatant mention of a demo that is "out now".

But there are no links and there is nothing to download there, either.

This looks like a cool game but steam has been very explicit about the intention of store refunds not being to demo games.

Do the developers read the forums here? Your own page says there is a demo. There isn't. The steam page says there is a demo. There isn't.

If you are trying to look bad and incompetent it's working. Seems like a bad strategy though if selling games is your goal.

Please drop a link to the demo.

2nd EDIT: I just downloaded the press kit from the website. The press kit has video files that make blatant reference to a demo. But it's not included in the press kit. It's not on the steam store page. And it's not on the Phantom Coast page for the game.

I have no idea why you have chosen to mention a demo in several places yet not make it available in any of those places.

This game looks like it's right up my alley but you have gone out of your way to keep me from buying it. Such a strange strategy for a business.

3rd EDIT: I located a page with patch notes for the demo. Not only was it out at some point but someone cared enough to actually update it. Where is it now?

Yes, there was a demo back in Jan/Feb, when those things were written. It's been taken down since then, and they really should keep their stuff up to date if it still mentions the old demo.

I had to go to their discord and ask about it they said "sorry it was time limited".

Seems massively incompetent for them to expose their inability to edit their pages to add the words "time limited".

They for sure lost a sale from me.

Hopefully anyone else who is looking for an unfindable demo also rejects this bad company.

They would have to remove about 3 seconds worth of trailer. And leave a note on their store page. Super simple.

Demo removed? instant no buy. Not that I would buy it off steam anyways (Steam is DRM) but still, hate it when devs remove demos. No faith in the product.
