Does your Demo save carry over?

A fresh start is expected

If you launch the full game after playing the Demo and your Demo upgrades are not there, that matches the developer’s stated transfer policy. It does not, by itself, mean your save is corrupted or that the game failed to find it.

More Demo grinding will not carry over

Choose whether to keep playing the Demo for its own enjoyment. Do not grind extra Demo progress expecting those upgrades to unlock in the full release. The developer’s answer is to start fresh in the full game; it does not provide a manual file-transfer method.

Missing full-game progress is a different issue

This answer applies to moving from the Demo to the full game. It does not explain progress that disappears between two full-game sessions. If that is your situation, describe it as lost full-game progress when asking for help, rather than a Demo transfer problem.
