Requiem of Reuinis Save Transfer Guide
Transfer your Requiem of Reuinis demo save to the full game — step-by-step migration, what carries over, Steam cloud details, and troubleshooting before July 2026 launch.
Demo-to-full-game save transfer overview
Requiem of Reuinis offers save transfer from the free demo to the full game releasing July 15, 2026. Developer Zaxiquej confirmed that research progress, inventory items, equipment, unlocked alchemy recipes, and completed region progress carry forward. This means your demo investment — potentially dozens of hours across multiple retreat cycles — carries into the complete experience rather than resetting at purchase.
Save transfer is designed to be seamless for Steam users. The demo and full game share the same save file architecture, and the full release detects existing demo saves on first launch. You do not need to export or import files manually under normal circumstances, but understanding the process prevents panic if something goes wrong on launch day.
What transfers and what does not
Transferred data includes all research nodes unlocked, every item in inventory, equipped gear, discovered alchemy recipes, map exploration progress (fog of war), and defeated boss flags. Tasia's stat totals reflecting research investments carry over exactly — a demo character with ATK +3 begins the full game at ATK +3.
Data that does not transfer includes demo-specific achievements if the full game uses a separate achievement system, leaderboard entries tied to demo scope, and any future demo-exclusive challenge modes. Region progress transfers up to the demo's limit — completing all three demo regions carries forward, but full-game regions beyond the demo scope begin locked until you progress naturally.
- Transfers — research, inventory, equipment, recipes, map progress, boss completion flags
- Does not transfer — demo leaderboard entries, demo-only challenge scores
- Partial — region progress up to demo scope; full-game regions unlock through normal progression
Step-by-step transfer process
Step one: before the July 15, 2026 launch, ensure your demo save is current. Launch the demo, load your save, and confirm progress appears correct — research tree, inventory, and region completion. Step two: enable Steam Cloud for both the demo (App ID 3377810) and the full game (App ID 3371260) in your Steam library properties. Steam Cloud synchronizes save files across devices and provides a backup if local files corrupt.
Step three: on launch day, install the full game through Steam. On first launch, the game scans for existing demo save data in the shared save directory. A prompt appears asking whether to import demo progress — select yes. Step four: verify transfer by checking research nodes, inventory contents, and region map progress in the full game. Tasia should appear exactly as you left her in the demo.
Steam Cloud and local save locations
Steam Cloud stores save files on Valve's servers and syncs them when you launch the game on any PC. Enable cloud saves for both the demo and full game to ensure your most recent demo session uploads before you switch to the full release. If you play exclusively offline, manually back up local save files before launch day.
Local save files for Requiem of Reuinis reside in the standard Steam userdata directory under your Steam account ID. Backing up this folder to an external drive before launch provides insurance against transfer bugs. Do not delete demo save files until you confirm successful transfer in the full game — they serve as your rollback point.
Troubleshooting common issues
If the full game does not detect your demo save, verify both titles are installed under the same Steam account and that Steam Cloud synced recently. Launch the demo once online to force an upload, then restart the full game. If the import prompt still does not appear, check the community hub for patch notes — Zaxiquej may require a minimum demo version for transfer compatibility.
If transferred data appears incomplete — missing items or research nodes — do not immediately start a new game. Close the full game, restore your demo save backup, and relaunch the demo to confirm the save is intact locally. Report discrepancies through the Steam Community Hub or official Discord linked from the store page. Starting a new game overwrites the import slot and may permanently lose partial transfer data.
Preparing your demo save for transfer
Maximize transfer value by completing all demo content before launch: defeat all six bosses, unlock all research nodes within reach, and collect rare equipment like Golden Triumph and Ashen Death. These items provide a strong starting position in the full game's early regions and save replaying demo-equivalent content.
If you have not finished the demo, transfer still works with partial progress — a mid-demo save imports with whatever research and items you have accumulated. There is no minimum completion requirement. However, finishing the Demo Final Guardian before launch ensures you enter the full game with end-demo power rather than mid-progress stats. Use the Boss Guide to complete remaining encounters.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does save transfer become available?
Save transfer activates when the full game launches on July 15, 2026. Demo saves created before that date are eligible for import on first launch of the full release.
Do I need to own both the demo and full game?
Yes. Both must be on the same Steam account. The demo remains free and can stay installed after transfer for reference.
Can I transfer a save from one Steam account to another?
No. Save transfer is account-bound through Steam Cloud and local save architecture. Demo progress on Account A cannot import to Account B.
Will my demo save be deleted after transfer?
No. The demo save remains intact. The full game creates its own save slot using imported data. You can continue playing the demo independently.
What if I buy the full game on a different platform?
Save transfer is confirmed for Steam demo to Steam full game. Cross-platform transfer has not been announced — assume Steam-only unless Zaxiquej states otherwise.
Should I keep playing the demo after importing?
Demo progress after import does not sync back to the full game. Play the demo only if you want to experiment with routes; main progress happens in the full release.
