Yes, all progress you make during Unicorn Overload, including recruiting and romance, carries over to the full game. Normally, when I’m playing a demo, I avoid being a completionist and focus on getting to know the basics. Here, you can dedicate yourself to exploring every nook and cranny, because all that progress will carry over. You can play Unicorn Overlord at your own pace, and you don’t even have to buy it once you’re done with the demo.

How to play the Unicorn Overlord demo

You can play Unicorn Overlord on any available platform, and that includes Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S. To start the demo, visit the store page for your chosen platform, then download and installing it. Here are all the official store pages:

From the moment you start playing the Unicorn Overlord demo, you have five hours to explore or complete one chapter of the story. This is more than enough time to experience the core mechanics and get immersed into the story that only just takes off in the demo. Remember, you can always check how many hours you spent playing the demo when you pause.
