Can I give a friend my account credentials to let them try out the game?

The game doesn't really have a demo or anything so it's hard for people who are unsure if the game is for them to try the game.
Is account sharing allowed so I can let my friend try out the game with my own game account?

As a general rule, the ToS or EULA for games and similar products prohibit the usage of one account by more than one person. Even if account sharing is not explicitly prohibited by the agreement, as is the case of Vintage Story's Terms of Service, the agreement can often be considered to implicitly prohibit it, if only because it's made with the person who registers the account and not any third parties. Even if it could be argued that you wouldn't be technically breaking any rules, account sharing is generally inadvisable, especially outside of immediate family or household.

If your friend wants to try out the game, it may serve as encouragement that the refund policy for Vintage Story is significantly less restrictive than that of Steam and most similar services.
