Deltburg
Deltburg is the plumbing town with an aquarium, comedy night, and sewers, and it is the slice the free Steam demo used. Waterway Wanderer completes every Deltburg quest. Scholar and Picking It Up are local chores. Demo patch notes and launch hotfixes are different lists, so keep the June slice off the September build. Steam Deck is Verified, and the US list price is $19.99 with a 15 percent launch discount.
Deltburg and the demo
Let's Explore Deltburg describes a quaint town with plumbing issues, an aquarium, a comedy show, and sewers. The same post says the Steam demo is a taste of Deltburg. That is why this town has two lives: a June slice and a September full stop.
Waterway Wanderer is the full-game quest card: complete all the quests in the Deltburg region. Scholar asks you to read all Deltburg Library books. Picking It Up asks you to recycle all the bottles in the Deltburg region. Those three Steam tasks name the town in the description. They are not demo-only flags.
If you played the demo, treat it as a preview save. Demo patch 2 is a June 15 list. Launch-day Linux/Deck repair and the September 30 hotfixes are live-build notes. Do not look for a demo fountain-pipe fix inside the September patch, and do not expect the Business Art Imp hotfix to exist in June.
Waterway Wanderer is 14.5 percent, Scholar 22.5 percent, Picking It Up 21.6 percent. Those three names print Deltburg in the Steam description. The demo is app 4694330 from June 6. Demo patch 2 is June 15. Launch is September 29 at 9:00 am EDT.
Demo, patch 2, and full launch
The free Steam demo of Deltburg went live on June 6, 2026 as app 4694330. Demo patch 2 on June 15 separated camera rotation options, added stamp jingles, and repaired Steam init, the Plum finale save, and fountain pipes. The full game launched September 29, 2026 at 9:00 am EDT, then restored Steam Deck and Linux the same day. Next-day hotfixes named Deltburg props. Select a stop to read the matching note.
Aquarium, library, bottles, pipes
The aquarium is first-party. Soundtrack track The Grand Aquarium prints the room in the DLC list. Launch hotfixes mention an aquarium bench. Photograph the tanks, sit if a request asks, and do not assume every fish is a critter until it stamps the compendium.
The library is a Scholar job: read all Deltburg Library books. That is a local chore, not a regional quest card. You can Waterway Wanderer without Scholar, and you can Scholar without finishing every other town request.
Picking It Up is recycling. Bottles around Deltburg, all of them. Plumbing and sewers are the town joke, so the screwdriver attachment is the review-named guess for grates and fittings. Demo patch 2 already had to fix fountain pipes, which tells you pipes were a real interaction, not wallpaper.
The Grand Aquarium is a DLC track title. Launch hotfixes mention an aquarium bench. Recycle bottles for Picking It Up. Read library books for Scholar. Pipes and an escape-room door are why the screwdriver guess belongs here more than in Cropten’s jam kitchen.
Launch hotfixes that name Deltburg props
A post-launch Steam news item lists Deltburg region hotfixes: Business Art Imp, Meditation Goat input, aquarium bench, Bean Slurp indicator, and an escape-room door. Those names are first-party prop and NPC labels from the patch, not a complete town directory.
Use the list when something in Deltburg feels stuck after September 29. If the Meditation Goat input or the escape-room door misbehaves, you are on the live build that received that note. The June demo had a different repair pass.
Same-day as launch, the studio restored Steam Deck and Linux after those builds broke. That fix is platform-wide, not a Deltburg quest change. Read it on the platforms page if your Deck client failed to start on day one.
The hotfix list names Business Art Imp, Meditation Goat input, aquarium bench, Bean Slurp indicator, and an escape-room door. Same-day as launch, Deck and Linux were restored. That platform repair is not a quest change. Install it if the Deck client failed on day one.
After the plumbing town
Stamps from Deltburg quests still buy progress. Experience TOEM — witness The Whirling Birch Bloom — sits beyond the four named towns. Group Photo wants every friend gathered. Neither achievement is a Deltburg quest card.
Comedy night is in the Let's Explore post. Join A Band still does not name this stage. If a comedy club request appears, stamp it as a local job. Do not wait here for a three-person band the Steam text never placed.
When Waterway Wanderer pops, Deltburg's official quest list is done. Optional bottles, books, and photo chores can wait. The bus, the Bloom, and the group shot are different errands.

Frequently asked questions
Should I play the demo or wait for the full Deltburg stop?
The demo is a free taste of this town, published June 6, 2026. It will not replace the full region's quest card, library books, or bottle run. Play it to test the camera, then start the September build if you want Waterway Wanderer and the launch hotfixes.
Why show demo dates and launch dates together?
Because they are easy to mix. Demo patch 2 on June 15 repaired fountain pipes and a Plum finale save. Launch day repaired Deck and Linux. The next day repaired Deltburg props. Keeping the three milestones on one line is the point of this stop.
