With the Sally Demo now available, we wanted to share information on the game's Steam Deck compatibility.
Currently, we have optimized the game to run at a relatively stable 30-40 frames per second on the Steam Deck. It is configured at a slightly lower graphics quality than when running on Windows to ensure a smooth experience. It uses a Linux-native build, ensuring optimal compatibility.
If the Demo doesn't launch for you, you can try forcing it to use Proton. We have tested version 9.0-4 and Experimental. Note that it might take longer at first launch due to installing Unreal Engine prerequisites.
We are aware that the island can sometimes drop to frame rates lower than 30 and are working on optimizing the area.

If you encounter any issues when running the Demo on the Steam Deck, please make sure to file a bug report, as it will help us provide a better experience.
This post has been updated as of the May 2025 re-release of the demo. [ 2024-06-08 21:06:45 CET ][ Original post ]
Sally is a new genre of life-simulation game about community and belonging. Embark on a grand journey aboard a magic flying ship crewed by kids and stewarded by two caring grandmas. Navigate daily life with a diverse array of characters. Craft, cook, farm, build and explore the skies as you become who you want to be amongst the Sally’s found-family.
Build Lasting Relationships
Get to know your unique crew: the characters are different in every game you play! Each of your crewmates has their own life vibrant with emotions, tastes, interests, and even memories. Develop bonds like friendships and rivalries. Learn about everyone’s distinctive personality and aspirations. Watch new connections form aboard the ship, as your crewmates navigate their own relationships.
Craft, Cook, Farm & Build
An array of cozy activities awaits: gather resources on unexplored islands. Cook a comforting meal for your best friend. Take care of animals, build new structures, craft new items, and improve the Sally to feel at home.
Find your Path
Acquire experience points by performing tasks and quests, and use them to unlock new skills. In what ways will you leave your mark in this community? Choose the specific role - or roles - you'd like to enbody amongst the crew.
It will take a village to lead the Sally to its final destination, and to do so, everyone aboard the ship will have to achieve their personal aspiration. Help your crewmates hone their craft and grow together to reach your full potential!
Explore a Rich New World
The sky is filled with floating islands awaiting to be discovered. These eco-systems have different seasons, resources, animals and inhabitants. Journey through ever-changing landscapes and explore to your heart's content. There’s solace to be found in every task, and no time limit. Experience the beauty of Sally’s world at your own pace.
