Hello there,

This guide will show you how to transfer your DEMO progress to the full game if you're playing on Steam deck.
For technical reasons, Steam cannot access the saves of another game on the deck, so you'll have to do a bit of manipulations. There are two ways to do it:

Method 1: Use a PC or Mac (simplest)
Method 2: Manually move the save on the Steam Deck

1- Make sure you have both the DEMO and FULL game downloaded and ready to start.
2- Launch the DEMO and verify your progress is there. This is the progress that will be transfered.
3- Close the demo.
4- Right click on the FULL Game in your list, go to "Properties" and DISABLE "Steam cloud". (This is to avoid any conflict during this process)
5- Make sure you have no FULL game save on you computer.
-> On PC, press Windows+R, paste "%appdata%/../locallow/Alblune/"
-> On Mac, Go to your "Library/ApplicationSupport/Alblune".
Delete the "Squeakross" folder if it exists. Don't delete the "SqueakrossDEMO" folder!
6-Now open the FULL game. You should see the Demo transfer popup after the intro cutscene.
7-Once you reach the main menu, you can close the game.
8-Reactivate Steam cloud for the FULL game (Right click >Properties > turn on Steam Cloud)
9-Launch the game again, and exit. (This is to force steam cloud to upload your save).
10-DONE you should be able to continue playing on your deck!

Slightly more complex, but you can stay on the deck!

1- Make sure you have both the DEMO and FULL game downloaded and ready to start.
2- Launch the DEMO and verify your progress is there. This is the progress that will be transferred.
3- Close the demo.
4- DISABLE "Steam cloud" for the FULL Game by managing its properties in your library. This is to avoid any cloud conflict during this process.
5- Launch the Full game, and close it after the splash disappear. This is to make sure the save folder is created.
6- Switch yout Steam Deck to DESKTOP MODE. In the shutdown menu, use "Switch to desktop mode"
7- Navigate to this folder:

home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3219650/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Alblune/SqueakrossDEMO

8- You will sbould see a folder with a bunch of number like "76561197384291445", inside of it a "Save_0.dat" and "saveinfo.dat". Copy the whole folder (right click > Copy)
9- Navigate to this folder:

home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2871440/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Alblune/Squeakross

10- Paste the copied folder.
11- Exit Desktop mode (Suggested: Reboot the deck)
12- Launch the Full game, proceed with the demo transfer progress.
13- After exiting the game, reactivate Steam cloud.


Note: If it really doesn't work for the Steamdeck only method, try this (will be automatically done in a next patch)
1- After pasting the save folder to the full game, open save_0.dat with a text editor
2- Look for the flag "\"ISDEMO\": true\n" and change it to "\"ISDEMO\": false\n'
Open
