Bills Must Be Paid Demo: Free on Steam and in Browser

Quick answer

Play the demo free on Steam or right in your browser

There are two free demo paths (VERIFIED: Rike Games page): the free Steam Demo and the play-in-browser version. The browser version needs no Steam account at all. One important catch: demo saves do not transfer to the full game (COMMUNITY-verified; the developer has not commented).

Demo vs full

Demo vs full game

The demo covers the early loop (stamina, bills, first perks). Exact content boundaries between demo and full release are NOT_VERIFIED — the community wiki maintains a dedicated comparison page. Known difference: demo saves do not carry into the full game, so treat the demo as a try-before-you-buy, not a head start.
