New here? Follow the first-run route. Hunting hats? The Jester guide separates symbol access from a successful summon. Missing a faction option? Start with the permanent-upgrade check.

The main game released on November 12, 2026. The free demo is a separate Steam app. Read the download and version guide, then check the 1.0 changes before applying an old strategy.
