Quick answer

Team Metacarpo says 100% of progress made in the September 1, 2026 demo build and onward will carry into the Early Access release on September 10. Installing that update reset progress from older demo builds once so the transfer system could be enabled. The developer also says you keep your monsters, although you must build the Monster Manager before using them in the main game.

How to protect your demo progress

  1. The developer's carry-over promise applies to progress from the September 1 demo build onward.
  2. Play and save normally in that build or a newer demo build.
  3. When Early Access unlocks, follow any newer transfer notice published by Team Metacarpo.
  4. Build the Monster Manager before expecting access to the monsters the developer says you keep.

The developer described the old-progress reset as a one-time change. If progress appears missing, first determine whether it was created before or after the September 1 build, confirm the demo is current, and check Team Metacarpo's newest official notice. If the problem persists, report it through the Steam Community Hub.

What is in the updated demo

  • Marlo Forest: a new area added in the September 1 demo update.
  • Tier 2 fusions: the updated demo added some Tier 2 monster fusions.
  • Save transfer: the developer says 100% of progress from the September 1 build onward carries into Early Access.
  • Quality-of-life work: the post mentions balance changes, bug fixes, and crafting-menu improvements.

The update does not provide a complete fusion recipe table. Use the fusion guide for confirmed mechanics and avoid treating community guesses as guaranteed combinations.

If transfer does not work

  • Confirm that you created the progress after installing the September 1 update.
  • Reach the point where the Monster Manager is built before concluding that monsters are gone.
  • Check official Steam news for a newer save-system notice.
  • If the application hangs or a save looks damaged, follow the documented symptom paths on known issues and report a persistent problem through the Steam Community Hub.
