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.

Fixed a Unity compatibility bug that would prevent achievements from ever unlocking. Fixed some dodgy collisions in the father-side invisible path area. Adjusted movement speed in the Prologue and Chapter 1 openings, to be in line with the rest of the game.
Fixed a bug that would result in some options to be applied multiple times in a row. This should fix some issues with setting volume, brightness and mouse sensitivity correctly.
Just a small update to mainly address the boss fight being too long/difficult/annoying. To those who left a negative review mostly because of the boss fight, please consider giving it a shot again and see if it improves your opinion of the game overall. Valves in the boss room now descend/ascend more quickly The boss has now only one phase, once you hit it it's gone! Fixed a bug that resulted in some players getting stuck when interacting with the mirror in the blue room. I'm still working on fixing achievements not properly unlocking, please bear with me.
The first chapter of the Lies We Tell Ourselves is Out! That's all.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43050305/1b7b045b26460d4e9cf6a04a5a4f0b68559dc225.gif The first episode of The Lies We Tell Ourselves releases in just 5 days! As cheesy as it may sound, this game isn’t just a product; it’s a piece of my soul... a collection of lessons, failures and dreams brought to life. I really hope some of you will resonate with it and, to those who won't, thank you for giving a solo dev a chance, and my sincerest apologies. I'm looking forward to watching the first completely new players adventure into my world, while also hoping nobody else will ever experience the struggles of havin
Hello, Poopsy here! First off, thank you so much for sticking around! It’s been two challenging years since I started working on The Lies We Tell Ourselves and I’ve finally reached a point in which I'm able to share some important news. The past year and a half has been significantly difficult for me: starting from the aftermath of losing my father, to serious health concerns which forced me in the hospital for quite some time, to eventually two delicate surgeries... the development of the game suffered terribly. As a solo developer, I had to weigh my options and choose what's the best for the
Hello, Poopsy here! I collected a bunch of questions I get asked regularly and made a small article out if it. I hope you find it interesting! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43050305/8293fef3e0664d217ccbb01fd539faba6d149317.png Q: Is The Lies We Tell Ourselves a horror game? A: It's not properly a horror game, at least in terms of constantly startling the player. The game is mostly a narrative-driven experience: the story isn't just a backdrop for random scares, it's the beating heart. I like to think of it as a supernatural adventure that can be enjoyed by both horror and non-horror fans, provided they'r
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43050305/a421ea7e9cbca831bfc688aea73e8588ce261fde.png Hello, Poopsy here! As some of you might know, The Lies We Tell Ourselves was originally planned for a Q4 2023 release. Unfortunately, the last 6 months have been pretty difficult, in terms of personal health and unexpected family loss. As a result, I've been struggling to find the necessary peace of mind to focus on developing the game, on top of the usual struggle in trying to promote it. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43050305/1f78d5495ba69563a0b8d9f1790ebc2aa9a550d9.jpg Thankfully, things are getting progressively better and I'm
Hello, Poopsy here! The public Steam Next Fest demo of the Lies We Tell Ourselves is now available for anyone to play! Please make sure to leave some feedback and help spread the word by tweeting content creators, making videos, articles or simply by talking about it to friends and foes! Enjoy!
Hello, Poopsy here! It's been a while, but I'm here mostly to assure you all that I'm alive and the game is still very much in production. The truth is that I'm genuinely terrible at marketing and I prefer to focus my efforts on developing the game rather than promoting it. Unfortunately, it also means that the general public awareness of The Lies We Tell Ourselves has been quite poor so far, which is a shame. To partially address the issue, I've decided to participate in the upcoming June edition of the Steam Next Fest, which hopefully will provide the opportunity to showcase the game to a wi
