Dev Update: Hotfix and Demo Status

Lifeguard Simulator Demo · published 19 Aug 2026, 18:12 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Following up on last week's word from Central Tower.

Day 2 is staying in the workshop for now. Building it right takes more time than we want to rush.

Day 1 stays as the heart of the experience.

Alongside this, a small hotfix is going out:

  • Fixed a bug with completing bars during the exam

  • Added an "Esc" shortcut to the main menu to skip "What's New". It should allow Ultrawide monitors to start the game properly.

One more thing worth saying plainly: this is the last patch for the demo. Central Tower is putting everything into Early Access from here. We aim to bring back day 2 to the demo closer to the release.

If you've been playing the demo, thank you for putting it through its paces. Every bug report and clip helped shape what's coming next.

More news from the Central Tower soon.
Yours,
Lifeguard Team
