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.

And you can even land on planets and explore them on foot, fight with your sword and solve little puzzles. It's also fully voice-acted.I hope you'll give it a try.... there's also a free demo available.Cheers, Tim

Hello everyone, I'm happy to tell you that the game is now "playable" on the Steam Deck. You should encounter no problems while playing through the game.

Normally I wouldn't ask for reviews, but the game sits so close to getting its store page rating. This rating is extremely important for any player that visits the page and the Steam algorithm. So if you've played the game and haven't left a review yet, that would mean a lot to me. (positive and negative) Thank you for your support, Tim
