Demo Walkthrough

Demo Start and Cat Academy Tutorial

Launch the demo from Steam and complete the audio device check — run our voice mic setup checker first if recognition fails immediately. The opening cinematic introduces your cat wizard arriving at Cat Academy hub, where an NPC tutor walks you through WASD movement from keyboard and mouse controls before handing you Fireball.

Speak "Fireball" at training dummies until three successful hits register. The demo teaches push-to-cast optionally; enable Left Alt hold if household noise causes stray casts. Collect the starter spellbook entry and practice opening the spellbook with F. The tutorial gates online co-op — demo is primarily solo with AI companion cat for one revive demonstration.

First Spell Unlocks and Island Transit

After academy certification, ride the demo balloon toward a single floating island biome. Levitation unlocks mid-transit when a gap blocks the path — jump with Space, then speak Levitation to crest the cliff. Pick up a magic scroll explaining consumables referenced in magic scrolls guide. Enemy density is low: two scout cats and one elite caster who telegraphs Fireball loudly, letting you practice Stop if the demo build includes it.

Loot one coin pouch and a cosmetic hat before the extraction prompt. The demo balloon timer is generous (roughly five minutes) to teach urgency without stress. Ping the extraction zone with G to see the UI marker used in full-game hot-air balloon extraction.

Demo Limitations and Upgrade Path

Demo ends after one successful extraction or wipe — no arena, no golden harp arc, no Deluxe spells like Magic Carpet from supporter pack spells. Achievements do not unlock from demo runs. Use the ending screen to wishlist the full title and compare launch review ratings if undecided.

Demo Tips for Voice Success

Wear headphones to prevent speaker bleed into the mic — the top fix from fix voice recognition. Say spell names at normal conversational volume; shouting oversaturates recognition. Rebind push-to-cast via key rebinding if Alt conflicts with your OS.

Demo duration is roughly forty-five minutes for completionists reading every NPC line. Speedrunners finish in fifteen by sprinting past optional hat loot. Either approach validates whether Meowgic's voice loop clicks before you invest in the full progression described in full game progression.
