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.

Happy Halloween everyone! To celebrate, we're offering a discount (starting a few days after this goes live) and a new unique Jack O'Lantern Hat. You can ONLY get this hat this October, so make sure to play at least once this month. We've also put some spooky decorations up in the menu and in your RV. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41479414/1fd15d9d4d93e18d37b42c69d89597277bedf629.png On top of this, we're also very happy to release Major Update #5 - The Economy Update! This update makes it so you can earn money by collecting evidence which you use to buy tools from the Requisition Terminal in the RV. {ST
Improved the boat sinking Hopefully fixed, but at least much improved, the boat flipping When holding the fishing rod ready to cast, a circle of light will appear indicating where you are casting to Nessie now swims a certain distance away before chasing or attacking the camera Buffed Nessie's speed
Fixed a crash when using binoculars with a tool equipped
Wow, this year has flown by! And understandably you guys have been clamouring for an update (and some even thinking one won’t ever come). Well, it’s my absolute pleasure to finally put all that to rest with Update #4. This is a biggie. Main Features A completely new map utilizing Unreal Engine 5 technology This is what took us so long – but we think it’s well worth it and we hope you’ll agree Huge overhaul of Nessie’s behaviour creating a much scarier and omnipresent threat Tons of new sounds creating a much more tense atmosphere and scarier Nessie Swimming, so that falling into the water isn’
Fixed certain events not firing as often as they should
Multiple fixes and changes including: Can now turn around in a boat No longer have to click to close the inventory or handbook sometimes Animations (especially walking) should no longer be laggy on clients Picking up a buoy will destroy the underwater tablet Events stop spawning when Nessie has emerged Events stop spawning after death or getting out of the boat Fixed respawning issue due to multiple revive characters Nessie should be less glitchy when emerging Nessie FX Improvements All players should now see the voting to end the game notification
Fixed bug where player was unable to equip underwater camera tablet
Several fixes relating to the new patch including: Fixed easter egg scare not killing player Fixed Nessie not turning players into revivable characters Fireflies no longer have collision Smoother animations for client
Here it is, a long time coming, our first major update and our first big update this year! With most of the bugs from release squashed, we finally were able to turn our attention to one of the features we felt was most lacking - animation. One of the biggest complaints we had was a lack of range of motion, particularly in the boat, which made it feel like you were forced into a certain, cramped perspective. That in mind, we've spent the last month completely overhauling the animation and reconstructing the way you hold tools in Loch Ness. The result, we are very pleased with. On top of new too
Multitude of multiplayer fixes including: Pong is much smoother in multiplayer Losing network connection to the host no longer crashes the game Multiple improvements and fixes to spectator mode Audio Detector now plays for client Events should fire less often for clients Clients can now recall boats Drowning character's rotation now shows for all players Life ring no longer stays after use Clients' settings will now load Using the Underwater Camera no longer makes you invisible Actually ends the game when all players have died Life Ring no longer collides Switching seats while holding the fish
Several fixes including: Much smoother Pong in multiplayer Can now leave Pong as anyone, not just the host Thermometer shouldn't become invisible
