Why this page exists#
Early Access for Emberville is listed for 27 Oct, 2026. This page is the 2026-10-26 (Asia/Shanghai) eve re-read: what is still Confirmed on the public Steam store and official news, versus what stays Unknown until a Day-1 Observed pass. It does not replace the EA Day-1 opener skeleton.

Evidence grades#
| Grade | Use on this page |
|---|---|
| Confirmed | Steam store payload field or official Steam community news sentence, re-read on 2026-10-26 |
| Observed | Self-test on a named build with a recorded result. This page has no Observed row |
| Unverified | Third-party press or trailer claim, not a studio patch note |
| Unknown | Not stated, or not tested yet |
A Confirmed studio sentence can still leave the matching in-game cell Unknown.

Eve lock checklist (for Day-1)#
Use this list tomorrow with the EA Day-1 opener and the patch log template. Leave cells Unknown until Observed.
- Record Steam build id, branch (public), and download-complete time (Asia/Shanghai).
- Retest Demo → EA progress carry-over with a save that existed before EA unlock. Creator and Press Preview saves stay excluded per official news.
- Retest controller L/R and menu navigation against the 0.20.18.x note claims; do not assume the Demo note equals the EA build.
- Confirm whether Steam Cloud uploads appear for the EA app id after first save.
- Log only reproducible issues with exact UI strings and steps.
Do-not list#
- No invented price, class tables, skill numbers, or redeem codes.
- No claim that Steam Cloud equals Demo → EA migration.
- No Observed grades on this eve page.
- No rewrite of older guides; this page only locks the 2026-10-26 re-read.
