Public Demo

*Not to be confused with the Backer-Exclusive Demo*

The Public Demo is a demo for Sea of Stars which takes place on Sleeper Island.

It was released on the 8th of February 2023 for the Nintendo Switch, on Steam on the 19th of June, on Xbox on the 11th of July and on the PlayStation 4 / PlayStation 5 on the 25th of July.

## Playthrough

The Demo starts with a cutscene of a Yeet Golem's Ball being thrown onto Sleeper Island, which is then caught by X'tol.

The Gameplay starts at X'tol's Landing, and is instantly skipped to the Humble Boast in Brisk as soon as the Player leaves towards the world map. After losing an Arm-Wrestling Match against the Pirates, the Party is sent to the Abandoned Wizard's Lab to retrieve a Coin of Undeath Accord. After defeating the Chromatic Apparition at the end of the Lab, the game fades to white and a screen is showed saying that the players has reached the end of the demo.

## Differences to the Main Game

*This section is incomplete. You can help by expanding it.*
* When starting up the game, a message shows that the game is still a work in progress and things may be changed in the final game. A similar message is displayed at the bottom of the title screen
* On the title screen, the word "DEMO" is found next to the Sea of Stars-Logo
* After leaving X'Tol's landing, the Party instantly gets brought to the Humble Boast in Brisk, instead of opening the world map
* The Humble Boast plays the default Brisk theme, instead of the unique one that exists in the final game
* During the Arm-Wrestling match against Valtraid, the normal combat theme plays
* Saves in the Demo have a counter that shows how many times you saved
* All 3 shops in Brisk carry different items in the Demo
* The Secret Shop has a different theme and is owned by someone else. In the demo, no Trader Signet is required to buy items
* Chests in Brisk contain different items in the Demo
* The Door of the Humble Boast's upper cabin's is open and can be accessed during the day. Interacting with the fireplace will set up a camp like normal

* The Placement and Dialogue of some NPC's is changed
* If the entire party gets eliminated, the player is brought back to the title screen instead of being shown the Game-Over Screen
* On the World Map if the player tries to access Coral Cascades, a Textbox by SaboTeam shows up, saying that the Area is inaccessible in the demo, but standing near it still plays the music
	+ Because of this, the player cannot return to X'Tol's Landing, or any other part of the Moorlands after leaving
* Throughout X'Tol's Landing and the Abandoned Wizard's Lab, there are multiple signs explaining basic game mechanics, as the demo doesn't have its own tutorial
* Interacting with a campfire instantly sets up a camp instead of giving the player the option to cook or rest
* Landing the final hit on the Chromatic Apparition ends the Demo instead of making the game continue like normal
* Moonerang costs 6MP instead of 7
* Crescent Arc costs 7MP instead of 6
* Mending Light takes 3 Combo Points to perform, instead of 2
