Purpose#
Record whether and how Emberville runs on Steam Deck — not a performance leaderboard and not a “Verified” claim. Pair this note with the Demo checklist so Deck rows share the same Steam build id as desktop Observations.
What is Confirmed vs Unknown#
| Grade | Deck meaning |
|---|---|
| Confirmed | Steam Deck Verified / Playable badge on Steam App 2295170, or an official Cygnus Cross note |
| Observed | Self-tested on Deck (or Deck-like handheld) with a recorded build marker and clip id |
| Reported | ProtonDB / community post not retested by us |
| Unknown | No badge and no self-test yet — leave the cell blank |
Never invent FPS numbers, TDP presets, or a Verified badge that Steam does not show.
Gameplay trailer context#
Official MIX gameplay footage is desktop marketing, not a Deck test. Treat it as Unverified for handheld controls and performance.

Deck field checklist#
Copy one row per Steam build. Prefer short notes.
| Item | Status | Build marker | Evidence id | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boot / shader compile | Unknown | — | — | First boot length if Observed |
| Controls (glyphs + prompts) | Unknown | — | — | Steam Input template? |
| Suspend / resume | Unknown | — | — | Save integrity after resume |
| Cloud saves | Unknown | — | — | Cross-device round-trip |
| Performance band (30/40/60) | Unknown | — | — | Qualitative only — no fake FPS |
| Thermals / fan comfort | Unknown | — | — | Optional Observed note |
How to grade a Deck pass#
- Mark Unknown until Observed with a build marker (demo label or in-game version string).
- Quote ProtonDB only as Reported, then retest before upgrading the grade.
- Never claim “Steam Deck Verified” without the Steam badge (Confirmed).
- Carry any Day-1 Deck Diff into the patch log template and the EA Day-1 Diff evidence sheet.
