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.

Surprise update, happy Halloween! New content: Added blood level 10. Added super boss battles unlocked on blood level 10. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41259909/5395aae058028eb97fb57a47ab4689994217533f.png Balance fixes: Reworked the Mad Scientist enemy ability. Bug fixes: Quite a few, I didn't really keep track. It's been a while.
Changed the Shapeshifter enemy ability to reduce class cards by 2 instead of 1 Fixed the unlock condition for Amnesia not showing properly Fixed Doppelganger points not resetting between rounds and cards not respawning Fixed Speak Softly wrongly showing x4 Night when it was nerfed to x2 Fixed Diversification only working once per round Fixed cards that cost more then normal showing up as green instead of red Fixed Any Means Necessary only drawing one card Fixed mashup shapeshifter cards showing up for other shapeshifter variations Fixed Defile's non-spell half happening again during the spell
It's the one year anniversery of The Monster Within releasing into early access! And we're celebrating that with the gaming coming out of early access! Yes, this is the full release! All ten monsters, all ten mashups, almost 400 cards, almost 50 afflictions, less bugs (hopefully), it's all here. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41259909/cdc08f400cc925ac00ddac1b0e82e24e0f6d299d.png Thank you so much to everyone who's bought and played the game so far. None of this would be possible without you. This game has been a labor of love from both the artist and I, and we've done out best to make it as enjoyable and
Content Additions: Add Shapeshifter skits Balance Changes: If you play as Shapeshifter, the Sociopath Affliction is unselectable (because it's way too OP with her)\ Devoted Lackey now costs 5 Put on the charm now costs 6 Ghoul School now costs 8 Speak Softly nerfed to only double Night Lowered the spawn rate of shapeshifter cards (about 1/3 less)
It's been a month since Shapeshifter came out and we've been hard at work to keep up the momentum and finish the game. We've been in early access for a year, but the light at the end of the tunnel is almost here! Just a few more weeks and that tag will be gone from the game. We're talking full release! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41259909/ebd7efe151f186f423fc93225177044033d67638.png The final monster for The Monster Within is almost here, the Cultist! This won't be the final update, but it will be the last big content release. Maybe. We'll see what the future holds but we here at GMO Free Games are kin
UI Changes: Updated and improved graphics in some menus Changed the Warlock spell banner to look good and less like a stretched piece of art the programmer made Improved Shapeshifter form icons to be more distinct from each other Bug Fixes: Fixed the game over animation playing when in the character select screen Fixed Contraction saying it gained form points, rather than losing them. Fixed Serpent Coil saying it added shield equal to monster, rather then shield equal to attack Fixed cards that depend on the last damage taken not working against bosses. Fixed Grin and Bear It coasting 3 instea
After a two month delay, she's finally here! The Shapeshifter! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41259909/cb46cfb624460c99be349dbc18e96bea3ff8e629.png The Shapeshifter works differently from any other monster in the game. Your health level doesn't matter for seeing her cards. All that matters is how many form points you buy. Ghoul points seed cards that generate Night. Bear points seed cards that generate Shield. Snake points seed cards that generate Attack. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41259909/1a356fbd0e32fdfbec633a14d45364b050f68677.png Put it all together and you can build your Shapeshifter anyway you like! Also i
Where's Shapeshifter? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41259909/48132983714206130dcb32d222e4432cccd863d3.png Yes, Shapeshifter should have been out already. But unfortunately, the game's amazing and talented artist has been sick and unable to make said amazing art lately. Unless people are okay with a shift in artistic direction to the drawing above, it'll still be a little bit. Shapeshifter as a monster has more art needs than any before with her unique mechanics, so until that cool art is done, she'll remain lurking behind the scenes. She could be anywhere, anyone... So let's talk about what the Shapeshif
Balance Changes: Lowered base damage scaling one stage UI Changes: Small prettification changes and polish Bug Fixes: Fixed Inner Darkness having a giant monster icon Fixed Epiphany showing alternate art if you have any night cards in your deck. Fixed some elements of mashup mode persisting on a new run after winning/losing Fixed Warlock and Swampkin being called "Werewolf" on the win round screen Fixed the Warlock -> Swampkin skit not playing Fixed the Werewolf player death animation showing Werepire art Fixed some typos
Sinister whispers, dark patrons, unleash powers from beyond this world with the next monster for The Monster Within! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41259909/d1b017c1a2b5598afd93bba9f4e9ebb4bb3f33f0.png It's the Warlock! The Warlock is a monster all about string together spells to form combos. Can you master his cards to smite your enemy with righteous fury? Also in this update is the Warlock-Plant mashup monster, the Swampkin! Letting you use Warlock's spells as a Day focused strategy as well! Lastly, there's a new theme packs in this update, unlocked by winning on blood level seven or higher. Here's a fu
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41259909/7bd751aa7e9660539644afffa8ff4b009b11e2f9.jpg I hope everyone has been enjoying the Werewolf . But people who turn into wolves is so 17th century. It's time for a new, hip monster who all the kids will love. The Warlock! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41259909/16e5e892f4648bd354a45afc94e27b995d73b839.png Look at him in his priest robes, the 12-16 demographic are going to love him. The Warlock is all about drawing power from your demonic benefactors and casting spells. Spells are a special kind of effect that don't trigger until the start of your next turn. If a card says Spell:
Balance Changes: Buffed The Forsaken God to 99 attack Changed Yellow Journalism to "If you're out of paper: 10 attack" Changed Headshot to do 2 attack per card discarded Changed Darkest Before the Dawn to "All cards can be bought with day this turn" Bug Fixes: Fixed the Werewolf not transforming properly when used as a basic enemy Fixed Inner Darkness not working as a mashup monster Fixed the Werewolf transform card not changing when using Topsy-Turvy Fixed Werewolf showing up as Parasite on the TV in the afflictions scene Fixed the receipt in the affliction scene not working Fixed Child of Da
New content: Added new affliction: Tachypsychia. Lets you start as a mashup monster. Added Cultist as the boss for mashup round werewolf. Bug fixes: Fixed Fangs of Steel and Claws of Silver working even if you hadn't fed yet this round. Fixed Greedy showing up as Over sized Appetite during gameplay. Fixed Greedy being shown as costing 20 health instead of five on the unlocks and afflictions selector screen. When playing as a monster that has two mashups, the deckbuilding screen is now shown after the mashup select. Fixed mashup monsters not showing the correct portrait on the win round screen.
Bug Fixes: Fixed the Werewolf only unlocking on a win as Wraith Fixed the Werewolf EX set unlocking as a day theme Fixed the paper icons on cards turning into the werewolf symbol Fixed Werewolf not saving rounds won correctly, making unlocking the afflictions pretty hard Fixes Corrosive Touch's upgrade not showing on the card Fixed the new theme packs not telling you how to unlock them on the unlocks screen Fixed clicking Immaterial on the affliction selector screen applying a chromatic abberation effect to everything Fixed some Werepire cards having the wrong man/wolf symbol on them {STEAM_CL
As the full moon rises over the city, a new terror joins the fray. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41259909/115332505a5948e9fab482785bbb3a2326ed2cce.png It's the Werewolf! The Werewolf is a monster all about changing back between his human and wolf form. Can you master his unique mechanics and hunt down your prey? Also in this update is the werewolf-vampire mashup monster, the Werepire! (We're very creative at naming things here at GMO Free Games). But that's not all, there's also two new theme packs in this update, unlocked by winning on blood level six or higher. Here's a full list of the changes: {STEAM
