Repeller Mushroom and the Hedgehog

Is Repeller actually available in the demo?

The October 30 Demo 2.0 announcement explicitly says Repeller was unlocked to fight the hedgehog. If your installation predates that update, compare its version first. The announcement does not provide a detailed unlock checklist or promise that every older save immediately has the same options.

How dangerous is the forest?

The main description calls the forest alive but not hostile, and names wandering hedgehogs. The Repeller update adds a specific interaction with that animal. Do not expand this into an unverified combat system, enemy wave schedule or claim that a failed defense necessarily ends the run.

What still needs checking?

Use the current interface to establish cost, placement, range and the visible response of the hedgehog. None of those numerical details appears in the announcement. A useful future reference should keep the demo build with the observation instead of presenting a guessed radius as a permanent rule.
