ReStory demo vs. full game: what is actually confirmed?
Quick answer: the full game released on August 6, 2026. A separate demo app and extensive pre-release demo feedback are documented, but the checked official pages do not confirm save transfer.
The useful difference in one table
| Question | Demo | Full game |
|---|---|---|
| Steam identity | Separate demo app, App ID 4146680 | Main app, App ID 3812600 |
| Release status | Pre-release trial branch documented by official posts | Released August 6, 2026 |
| Achievements | Not confirmed on the checked demo page | 50 Steam achievements shown |
| Full branching story | Not claimed for the demo | Branching, replayable story and endings are official features |
| Save transfer | unavailable / not confirmed | unavailable / not confirmed |
What the demo proved before launch
Official news reported more than 1,000 demo reviews and described the demo as overwhelmingly positive. Earlier development posts document feedback-driven work on device interaction and performance. Those facts show a real public testing history; they do not establish that every demo mechanic or save file behaves identically in the release build.
What the full release officially adds to the decision
The release page confirms a complete shop-management premise, multiple nostalgic device types, cleaning and restoration, a Y2K-style browser for spare parts, in-person and online orders, officially licensed Atari consoles, unique customer stories, and choices that affect endings.
Before uninstalling the demo
Do not assume your save carries over. The checked official store and news pages did not provide a clear save-transfer statement. If keeping the save matters, retain the demo data and check a current official announcement or publisher support response first.
