Demo and Playtest Status
How to distinguish past demos from the live Early Access build.
Mandate Order is now sold as an Early Access game. Earlier public demos and playtests are historical; the current Steam store page does not present a separate playable demo in the verified purchase area.
Route
Do this in order
- 1
Check the Steam store buttons for a current Download Demo action.
- 2
Use Steam News for dated playtest announcements.
- 3
Remove old demo branches before installing the live build if Steam reports conflicts.
If it does not work
A community video labeled demo may show an older balance version. Compare its upload date with August 12, 2026 and current patch notes.
Completion signal
Steam installs the Early Access app under AppID 1733690.
