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.

Terra Nil is the antidote to all that - a game where your goal is to restore barren, empty wastelands into flourishing ecosystems. Purify toxins from the soil, clear trash from the oceans, and gradually encourage flora to regrow and fauna to repopulate, then leave without a trace. Already boasting an 87%-positive Steam review score, it's just been given a healthy boost thanks to a free update from developer Free Lives. Read the rest of the story... RELATED LINKS:
