Demo Loop As of June 2026:

1. Unlock a new tile in the tile map.
2. Go to that sector in the open world.
3. Explore a planet, visit a shop, close a rift, broker trade relations between planets, invest in incremental farms, hunt aliens, collect data, fight a boss, farm asteroids, join factions... 
4. Repeat from step 1 until you find the exit, but beware, the further you get from the spawn tile, the harder the game gets. 
5. Upgrade your abilities or swap them out for new ones in the skill tree.
6. Craft gameplay-modifying "deployables" and look at your junk in the cargo menu.
7. Revisit collected data in the scanner menu, and choose which songs you want to hear on the radio.
8. Customize your ship and UI from the ship menu.
