~ DEMO VERSION ~
~tested on Full EA version and did not have any issues with demo->full game transfer characters. see update comment below.~
After completing main quests up to and including building cairn. Quitting play back to "Main menu" on a fresh character (character A) in offline mode in the demo. "Resume" play but Abeyance realm had completely reset. Anything built gone and anything harvested in realm including chests had been restored/reset in world No Puck in sight either.
Major card Stayed Abeyance
Minor card swapped to Foresworn skies
and 5 bound spawned about 5m away from me.
Creating a second character (character B) to see if it does it if I quit all the way out of the game.
didnt even build anything. used cleanse card and quit to desktop.
relaunched demo, and used "resume" option for character B. Minor card swapped back to Foresworn skies
Not seeing any bound but that may be due to the Crossways "safe zone"
Just completely closed steam and verified files. Using original Character A, realm still "resets" removing anything i build and restoring anything i harvest. including chest contents.

This is still happening.
Same thine just happened to me. Finished the main quest in Zone moved on to Sylvan map, built new Cairin starter base, gothered lots of materials put in storage chest made a good run around the map. Decided to take a break watch tv eat dinner. 6 hours later log in to my Cairin location on Sylvan and everything has vanished. I have all my pack stuff and my points in crafting butt at this moment I feel like whats the point. Yes it is only a demo, played offline, but how do we get back to the point we were at. Right now too many hours wasted buiilding and gathering to go back to the beginning. Really enjoyed the game till now.
Same issue for me as well.
Same issue for me.
I had the same issue twice with two different characters. Today I completed all POI's, quests and side quests in Abeyance. Built a starter base. Last thing was to switch to the next realm (I forgot the name). I quit. Loaded back in a few hours later and everything I built - structures, storage (and contents), etc, were gone. I still had equipment and inventory and all my progress was saved. Just things I built were gone and the world was red again.
I have had a similar issue with the demo. I Played once for about 3 hours at which point the game crashed. Upon relaunch, all progress was lost and I was at the very start of the game. A second attempt for about 4 hours resulted in the same situation; game crashed and all progress lost.
I also had the experience, mentioned by others above, of quiting the game and coming back to an altered/default realm.
I will not attempt a third playthrough as it is too frustrating to lose all progress.
I can reproduce this issue in the demo.
Broadly speaking, it seems that the current state of the realm is not properly saved on exit and restores to default on load.
So I'm trying to like the game through the demo but, this being the major thing I'm facing (not able to build anywhere because everything will simply disappear when I leave) it's impossible. I'm really just pissed about this demo, and in this state, if the plan was to attract players it'll do exactly the opposite.
Side note.
With using same characters on full EA 0.7 account, issues are gone.
Launched Full EA 0.7 through STEAM.
Chose offline mode. Selected Character A from demo test.
built cairn, stick tent, a bedroll, and a cooking station. Used in game options to quit to "Main Menu"
Chose offline and again Character A "resume"
All built structures were there.
Quit to desktop and tested with Character B with same results.
Tested Character A with Changing Minor Realm card and it saved even after quitting to main menu.
