Greetings, Initiates!
The brand-new Kristala demo is officially live on Steam, offering up your first hands-on look at the experience leading into our full 1.0 launch tomorrow, on April 23, 2026.

Whether you're stepping into Ailur for the first time or returning after Early Access, this is the perfect moment to begin your Proving. Download the demo now and prepare for launch.
