Resource buildings
Production buildings are in the demo, as a smaller set than the Nov 9 core loop.
Market stalls
Stalls are part of the tutorial market. The store never names each stall.
Decorations
Decorations are included in the opening set, alongside the roads and stalls.

What the demo lets you build
The tutorial opens one market and then hands it to wandering spirits. Roads, resource buildings, market stalls, and decorations are the pieces in that lesson. Buildings and progression are a smaller set than the Early Access build TheLaba has described for Nov 9, 2026.
There is no Mac demo. The Apple M1 row arrives with Early Access, at 8 GB of memory. Until Nov 9, 2026, a Mac cannot launch this app.
