The short version
Doloc Town has a free official demo on Steam. Download it only from Steam app 3243760. The demo store page describes roughly a two-hour introduction to farming, crafting, exploration, town life, and environmental hazards, and explicitly says its save file can carry over to the release version. Save transfer is therefore an official feature, but a backup is still sensible before moving or troubleshooting files.

Where to download the real demo
Use the official Steam page titled Doloc Town Demo, app ID 3243760, and choose Install Demo through the Steam client. The developer is RedSaw Games Studio and the publisher is Logoi Games. Avoid standalone installers, compressed archives, APK files, key generators, and sites that require a survey or browser extension. The legitimate demo is free and does not need an unofficial unlock tool.
What the demo includes
The official description presents a work-in-progress introduction of about two hours. It lets players sample resource gathering, planting, building, crafting, cooking, fishing, exploration, hazards, and the people of Doloc Town. It is useful for judging the side-scrolling perspective, pixel-art readability, core controls, and the rhythm of leaving the farm for a dangerous region, but it is not the full story or complete version 1.0 feature set.
Does the demo save carry over?
Yes. The official demo page explicitly states that the demo save can carry over to the release version. Install the full game through the same Steam account and let Steam finish any synchronization before launching. Do not rename, merge, or replace save folders unless the game fails to detect the progress and an official support instruction tells you to do so.
Back up before troubleshooting a transfer
A supported transfer can still be affected by local file cleanup, cloud conflicts, mods, operating-system changes, or a different Steam account. Preserve a copy of the existing save location before experimenting, note the last-played timestamp, and avoid opening an older cloud copy over the newer local progress. If a conflict dialog appears, compare dates and file context rather than choosing automatically.
Use the demo as a PC compatibility test
The demo lists the same minimum baseline of Windows 10, Intel i3-6100, 8 GB RAM, GeForce GTX 460, DirectX 11, and 2 GB available space. Test movement, menus, weather, a populated area, and a longer play session on the actual machine. A smooth title screen alone does not evaluate text readability, controller behavior, sustained laptop cooling, or more complex gameplay scenes.
What the demo cannot answer about the full game
A short introductory build cannot demonstrate the entire main story, Old City Ruins, late-game farming automation, all residents, every crop gene, long-term economy, Workshop ecosystem, or post-launch patch behavior. Use it to answer whether you like the basic controls, art, farming, exploration, and performance. Use current official news and the full-release guide to understand systems added after the demo was first published.
