Unrestricted Demo
We have removed the "demo" version of our game. If you download the demo you'll now get the full and unrestricted version. You'll be able to access all of Sector 2 (up to level 24) and access all the developer tools including console commands, settings and sandbox mode!
This is where we're currently up to with development however I don't feel we have enough content yet to charge for Early Access. When we do the demo will be 1 content version behind the paid version but will remain unrestricted and fully playable forever.
More information about our plans and developer mode can be found in our Discord:

Sector 2
