From the store page

This is an early proof-of-concept demo for Hawthorn, a prototype made at the start of our development journey. We built it to share our vision with publishers and the world, and as a foundation for the full game. It focuses on the village-building aspect of Hawthorn, offering a glimpse of the world, the intended atmosphere, and the player-driven experience at the core of the game.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. Hawthorn Proof-of-Concept Demo is free right now on Steam, with nothing to pay.

Is this the full game?

No. A demo is a portion of Hawthorn Proof-of-Concept Demo — usually the opening section — published so you can try it. It is free permanently, but it is not the complete game.

Where do I claim it?

On the official Steam page. We link straight there — we never host game files or act as a middleman.
