To download, open the "Assets" section below.
If on a PC, pick the .zip file corresponding to your operating system (do not pick anything labeled "Source code"), then extract it, and find and run the executable file in the extracted folder.
If on Android, download the .APK and sideload it. I would encourage scanning any apps not obtained through Google Play, to include this one.
Save compatibility is maintained with the Second Demo (and not before that), but your stats and your minions' stats will most likely be reset if your save is too old.
