Why this page exists#
Steam App 2295170 (Emberville) now lists a linked demo App 5355880. The demo store row itself shows a release date of 19 Oct, 2026 and is not marked coming soon. This note records what those two public payloads Confirm as of 2026-10-21 — and what still stays Unknown before Early Access Day-1 (27 Oct, 2026 string on the full game).
Sibling pages own hands-on Demo checklists and Demo→EA save rules. This page owns store linkage evidence only.

What this page does not claim#
| Player assumption | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Demo progress will carry into EA | Unknown | Owned by Demo → EA save expectations |
| Demo build id equals EA Day-1 build id | Unknown | Never invent build ids |
| Demo stays downloadable after EA unlocks | Unknown | Steam may keep, replace, or remove demo rows |
| Adjustable Text Size on the demo means the EA build has it | Unknown | Category lists can drift; re-check App 2295170 on Day-1 |
| No controller categories on the demo means no gamepad | Unknown / risky | Full game lists Partial Controller plus DualShock/DualSense; Demo list is thinner — verify in-client |
Pre-EA editor checklist#
- Re-fetch App 5355880 and App 2295170 on the same day; keep both Accessed dates.
- If the demo linkage disappears from the full game, log it on the Steam store change-log sheet instead of deleting this page.
- Hands-on Demo runs stay on the Demo checklist with a named build id.
- Offline / Deck Verified questions stay on Offline play & Steam Deck Verified expectations.
