Another Eden Begins Steam Deck Guide: Settings & Saves

Check Steam Deck compatibility for Another Eden Begins and follow the publisher's demo-save transfer steps without assuming unverified FPS results.

Another Eden Begins is sold on Steam, where the listing shows controller support, Steam Cloud, and a free demo. That does not by itself establish a Valve “Verified” or “Playable” Deck rating, nor does the Windows PC requirements table prove a Steam Deck frame rate. Check the game's current Steam Deck compatibility panel on your device before buying if that rating matters to you.

What to check on a Steam Deck

Install the demo first if you want to evaluate the game on your own LCD or OLED model. In the same area, compare text legibility, controls, audio, battery use, and frame pacing. Start with the game's default graphics preset; change one option at a time only if you encounter a specific problem. A PC listing that targets 60 FPS at 4K on recommended Windows hardware is not a benchmark for the Deck's APU.

The Steam store lists 10 GB of free storage for Windows. Leave additional room for downloads, shader data, and updates on Deck, but do not treat an exact Deck install size or a fixed battery-life figure as official unless it appears in the current store or on your device. Steam Cloud can sync the full game between devices when enabled; the separate demo-save transfer below requires a one-time manual copy.

Transfer demo progress on Steam Deck

The publisher's Steam launch announcement gives a manual procedure for moving the demo save into the full game. Back up any full-game SaveData before replacing it, particularly if you already started a new campaign.

On Deck, open Settings → Cloud and temporarily disable Steam Cloud.
Switch to Desktop Mode from the Power menu. Open the Dolphin file manager and show hidden files.
Open ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/. The full game uses app ID 4163960; the demo uses 4391790.
If a full-game save already exists, copy it somewhere safe before changing 4163960/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/WRIGHT FLYER STUDIOS/AnotherEdenBegins/SaveData.
In the demo prefix, open 4391790/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/WRIGHT FLYER STUDIOS/AnotherEdenBeginsDemo/ and copy SaveDataDemo.
Paste that folder into the full game's AnotherEdenBegins folder and rename the copy from SaveDataDemo to SaveData.
Return to Gaming Mode, launch the full game, and confirm the transferred checkpoint appears. Only then re-enable Steam Cloud if you want synchronization.

The path assumes Steam's usual internal compatdata location. If your library is on another drive, locate that library's steamapps/compatdata folder instead. Avoid deleting your original data until the transferred save is confirmed in game.

Controller and offline play

The official Steam listing includes full controller support and identifies the game as single-player. A controller badge does not guarantee that every external Bluetooth controller or dock works identically; use Steam Input settings if your own controller mapping needs adjustment. Steam Cloud and downloads require a connection, while local play and entitlement checks depend on Steam's current offline-mode behavior. Test offline mode before relying on it during travel.
