TOEM 2 Demo — What's In It & How Long
Free on Steam since June 6, 2026. It covers a slice of the Deltburg region and introduces the screwdriver tool. English only, and it carries Steam Achievements and cloud saves.
Is there a free TOEM 2 demo?
Yes. The TOEM 2 Demo has been free on Steam since June 6, 2026, and it is still available. It was also featured during Steam Next Fest, which the developer covered in a short video on their own channel.
There is one download and it is the full demo — there is no separate "extended" or "press" version publicly available.
What's actually in the demo?
The developer's own description on the demo store page is specific about the scope:
The first demo for TOEM 2 takes players through a small portion of the Deltburg region of the game. Visit this European inspired city and its famous aquarium and try out the screwdriver tool to help out the citizens of Deltburg.
So three things are confirmed to be in it:
- A slice — not all — of Deltburg, described as a European-inspired city
- Deltburg's aquarium
- The screwdriver tool, one of the new camera attachments the sequel introduces
Deltburg is a region of the full game, so the demo is a genuine vertical slice rather than a separate standalone level.
How long is the TOEM 2 demo?
The developer has not published a figure. What we can point to instead is how long it actually takes people: full no-commentary demo playthroughs published on YouTube run roughly 48 minutes to just over an hour, with completionist runs at the longer end.
Treat that as a realistic range for a first, unhurried playthrough rather than an official number.

Two details worth flagging
Two things stand out here. The demo is English only, even though the full game is listed with 12 languages including Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean — so a language you want at launch may simply not be in the demo yet. And the demo has achievements, which is unusual and means completionists have something to chase before release.
Does demo progress carry over to the full game?
Not stated. The developer has not said whether Deltburg save data or demo achievements transfer into the full release, and we are not going to guess. If you want to be safe, treat the demo as a self-contained taster.
Known demo problems
There are real, reported issues — most notably on macOS, where the developer has publicly acknowledged the build was rushed. If the demo crashes, will not launch, or looks wrong, the specifics are collected on the demo troubleshooting page.
What about a demo walkthrough?
This page deliberately does not include one yet.
There is clear demand for it — "toem 2 demo walkthrough" is one of the phrases Google suggests, and players are asking specific questions in the Steam forums, including one thread about finding the last of the demo's smelly items. But writing a puzzle-by-puzzle walkthrough requires playing the demo through and verifying each step, and that has not happened yet.
Rather than publish a guessed walkthrough, this section stays empty until it can be written from a real playthrough. It is the first page queued to be added.
