A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Sea of Stars is genuinely one of the most breathtaking little RPG gems I've had the pleasure of playing this year, but Sabotage Studio's pixel-art indie is just one of many brilliant games to come from great independent developers in 2023.

Welcome back to Behind The Lens! A series where we give you a closer look at what exactly has been going on behind the scenes when It comes to creating Viewfinder. With last week’s formalities out of the way, this week, we really want to focus on a specific aspect of the development process and really hone in on the overall puzzle design of the game and what exactly makes a great puzzle! What makes for a good puzzle? The design of puzzles is a delicate art. It’s about finding the right balance between logical thinking and creativity to find the solution to the objective set from the beginning.
In Viewfinder, you solve puzzles by figuring out the right way of looking at things, and you do that here by both physically moving around its abstract 3D spaces, and by mentally wrapping your brain around its mind-bending rule set. Perspective is key because here's the thing: this is a world where you can bring photos to life, the 2D image becoming a 3D reality when you place it within the puzzle world. It's an incredible hook and one which I've never seen in a puzzle game before. There are echoes of The Witness, Gorogoa, and Superliminal here, but Viewfinder's dizzyingly mind-melting puzzles
House Flipper 2 is the big winner of Steam Next Fest, in a somewhat surprising reveal as the sequel to one of the most relaxing games on PC proves once again that sometimes a laid-back experience can be more thrilling than a high-octane one.
