Does the Vanisha Demo save carry into the full game?
DANYL's 20 September 2026 reply says Demo saves created or played during roughly the preceding two months would transfer; older saves were incompatible. The window is tied to that reply, not today.
Answer: DANYL said on 20 September 2026 that Demo saves created or played during roughly the preceding two months would transfer; older saves were incompatible after major changes. Count from that reply, not today. No precise cutoff day or manual transfer procedure was provided, and we have not tested an individual save.
Check the date on the developer guidance
The original question asks whether Demo progress carries into the full game. In the developer-marked reply on 20 September 2026, DANYL says saves created or played within roughly the preceding two months would transfer, while older saves were incompatible because the game had changed substantially.
Read that condition in this order:
- Anchor it to 20 September 2026, the date of the reply.
- Consider when the Demo save was created or played, not merely when you installed the game.
- Keep the developer's roughly two months wording: the reply does not specify an exact cutoff day.
This is dated developer guidance, not a transfer test on our own save. The reply does not provide a save-file path, a manual transfer procedure or an in-game transfer button. If your save's eligibility is unclear, use the original developer reply to check the condition rather than replacing files based on an unverified workaround.
The later Menu cleanup news item, shown as 17 October 2026 in our reading, removes wishlist entries from the title screen and starmap. It does not announce a new Demo-save conversion rule. That menu change is not evidence that an older incompatible save has become transferable.
