You can’t log out from the Echoes of Aincrad demo through the in-game “log out” prompt at certain points; players report that the real way to leave is through the Settings menu, usually the last tab or an “Exit to Title Screen” option. Community posts also say the demo is tied to story/beta-style restrictions, so the logout button can act like a lore joke or stay disabled during scripted sections.

What players are saying

  • The in-game logout option may show “Now is not the time to log out” during the demo.
  • Several players say the actual exit path is in Settings rather than the logout prompt.
  • Some posts suggest the demo behaves like a beta/story segment, where logout is limited until certain progress or scene changes.

Practical answer

If you’re stuck, try this order:

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Go to the last tab or far-right menu.
  3. Look for Exit , Exit to Title Screen , or similar.

If that still doesn’t work, some players mention forcing the game closed as a fallback, but the in-menu exit is the cleaner option.

Timing

Based on the current demo discussion, there isn’t a single universal “you can log out at X minute” rule; it seems to depend on whether you’re in a restricted story/tutorial segment or after completing the demo’s current objectives.

TL;DR: In the Echoes of Aincrad demo, the “log out” button may be blocked by design; use the Settings menu to exit instead.
