Questions
Do I need a Salesforce org or account?
No. The game has its own Apex engine and a sandbox database with Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities and Cases. Everything runs in your browser.
Is it real Apex?
It's real Apex syntax and behaviour for everything the curriculum covers: classes, triggers, SOQL, DML, collections, exceptions, tests and async Apex, with governor limits enforced. It doesn't cover the whole platform (no Visualforce or callouts, for example), and you get a compile error if you reach for something it doesn't support.
Will this help me with the Platform Developer I certification?
It covers a lot of the same ground in practice: SOQL, DML, triggers, bulkification, testing and async Apex. It isn't exam prep, but it's the hands-on part most study plans are missing.
Is it really free?
Yes. Every level is free in your browser, with no paywall, no ads and no trial. It will stay that way.
Do I need an account to play?
No. The game saves your progress in your browser. To keep your career safe and continue on any device, create a free account from the launcher in the game: it saves automatically from then on.
Is it coming to Steam?
Yes, later, as a paid desktop version for people who'd rather support the game or play offline. The browser version stays free.
Is this made by Salesforce?
No. It's an independent game, not affiliated with or endorsed by Salesforce, Inc.
