Steam Next Fest, then removed

Trash Day Demo — Length, Players, Full Game

The Trash Day demo is a video-game demo, not a city pickup trial. It is no longer on the store. While it was up, it held one area and supported a squad of up to six.

What the demo contained

The press kit says the demo has one area and the full game has six. That one area is Animal Control, the opening jail break. A 16 June 2026 Steam news post for Next Fest told players to bring a squad of up to 6. The full game still uses that same player cap. See Animal Control and multiplayer.

How long, and does progress carry?

Off by One never published a demo duration, and the news posts I read never say whether demo saves move into the full game. A second-hand guide mentions about an hour. That is one source, so I do not put it in the lead. Progress carry-over stays unconfirmed. I would rather leave the cell blank than invent a yes.

Demo patches that still explain the full game

Between 15 June and 3 August 2026 the studio shipped demo builds from 12462 through 13212. Notes that still matter: wheels damage with speed, Bite moved to the left mouse button, Attack was renamed Attack/Use, a Drop/Throw binding was added, newly attached wheels start at 20% tightness instead of 1%, and “plank flying” was removed in build 13212. The update timeline lists each post.
