Meg, writing on behalf of the Duskfade team, has published a pre-launch FAQ addressing the questions that have accumulated in the lead-up to the game's August 13 release.

What the post covers

  • Price: $29.99 / €29.99 / £24.99 at full price, with a 20% discount running for the first two weeks after launch.
  • Demo progress: Does not carry over. Players will start from the beginning in the full game, which the team attributes to new content and polish added since the demo.
  • Performance: Optimization work has continued since the demo, with the post indicating improvements should be noticeable.
  • World structure: The game contains 4 worlds, each with 2 or 3 unique biomes alongside common biomes.
  • Completion time: Estimated at around 16 hours for a full run including collectibles and Achievements.
  • DLC: No plans confirmed — the team states they have ideas but will assess feasibility after launch.
  • Steam Deck: Verified and described as fully playable in handheld mode.

For players who put time into the demo, the loss of saved progress is the most immediate practical note — though the team frames the fresh start as intentional, tied to content that precedes the demo's entry point.
