The demo plays instantly in your browser — on desktop or mobile. No launcher, no account, no telemetry. It lives at app.salmethic.com while the Steam release is prepared.

Play it flat, or walk it in 3D.
Mobile · 2D touch
On phones and tablets the simulation plays as a streamlined 2D touch experience, designed for small screens. It's the presentation the future iOS & Android releases focus on.
Desktop · walkable 3D
On desktop the demo runs as a walkable first-person 3D world: walk from the shed lab to the garden, the cellar, and the office. It's the focus of the desktop and Steam builds (a classic 2D view stays a toggle away in Settings).

Local, private, yours.
Your save lives locally on your device, in your browser's storage, never on a server. The game sends no telemetry and talks to no server — the simulation runs entirely on your device. See the privacy policy.
The demo is in active development: the save format can still change between versions, so treat it as a taste of the loop rather than the start of your one true playthrough.
