About these versions

How the version numbers work

itch.io build numbers don't follow strict semantic versioning. The demo started at an early version, jumped to version 5 for the Demo Expanded update (February 2026), and is now at version 19 as of May 2026. The gaps between version numbers likely reflect internal development builds that were not publicly documented.

The current build is always listed on the official itch.io page with its update date. Check the release timeline for the full narrative context behind each milestone.
