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.

UPDATE 1.5
2026-04-04 19:13 UTC · Community Announcements · DMNT
This update brings a major rework to the Threshold escape system, a new weapon, achievements, voice chat improvements, and important backend changes.THRESHOLD REWORKIn order to activate the Threshold and escape, players must now find the missing Stabilizers and insert them into their slots. This new system should feel a bit more interactive and dynamic than the old keycard system.ASSAULT RIFLEThis new weapon packs quite a punch, penetrates monster armor better than the SMG, but is harder to find.NEW ONLINE SUBSYSTEM AND MICROPHONE SELECTIONYou can finally select your microphone input!This is t
THE EVOLUTION UPDATE
2026-02-25 20:09 UTC · Community Announcements · DMNT
SKINSTEALER EVOLUTION SYSTEMAll Skinstealers now spawn in a smaller form, they are weaker but also very fast.After consuming enough bio-samples or corpses they can evolve into the big bulky form we all know.Before this update, the Skinstealer started each round at full power with all abilities available. A good early fight or a well placed gore bomb could eliminate many players within seconds. Those players would then respawn as fully powered Skinstealers, and the humans’ chances of winning the round could quickly drop to zero.This first iteration of the evolution system aims to address those

UPDATE 1.13.1
2025-04-21 16:36 UTC · Community Announcements · DMNT
NEW SKIN STEALER ATTACK Skin Stealers can now LUNGE at enemies by holding the left mouse button, this new attack does a lot of damage and can also be used to evade bad situations. SKIN STEALER BALANCE CHANGES Previously if a Skin Stealer spotted a human and had enough stamina the human would almost always get killed, that was because the Skin Stealers were much faster than humans when sprinting. Humans are now much faster when sprinting, Skin Stealers are slower but can still catch them if they play right by using the improved roar ability which gives a short burst of speed or by simply using
UPDATE 1.13.0
2025-04-11 20:54 UTC · Community Announcements · DMNT
THRESHOLD OVERHAUL + NEW "REAL WORLD" AREA The escape mechanic has been completely remade. In order to escape you will now have to find a Threshold Keycard and use it to request an extraction, the portal will open allowing you to reach the brand new facility located in the real world. Once there, you can initiate the sealing process. Anyone left behind will be moved into spectator mode and will not respawn. The match will continue if Skin Stealers are still present in the facility. This overhaul aims to make rounds more dynamic by separating the escape mechanic from the vaccine research. NEW R
UPDATE 1.12.0

LANGUAGES The game now supports five new languages: Italian, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Korean and Japanese. INVENTORY AND AMMO Each weapon now uses its own ammo type. A new inventory system has been added that allows players to drop ammo and swap equipped weapons. SKIN STEALER CHANGES New ability that allows Skin Stealers to deal much more damage for a short period. The roar ability now reduces incoming damage and increases stamina regeneration for a short period. Increased base stamina. Hitting human players will give back health. I hope to see you all ingame, as always report bugs and gli
UPDATE 1.11.0
2024-07-26 10:43 UTC · Community Announcements · Heisenraptor Designs
THRESHOLD ESCAPE Once the research is completed, the quarantine will be lifted, and the Threshold can be used to escape. The more survivors escape, the more points they earn. However, if a vaccine is not developed and even one infected individual escapes, it will result in a victory for the Skin Stealers. This long-awaited win condition acts as a common goal, encouraging teamwork among survivors and addressing the issue of the last players running around the map in a potentially long cat-and-mouse game that left spectators waiting too long. MAP EXPANSION The map has been expanded with an entir
UPDATE 1.10.0
2024-06-23 17:28 UTC · Community Announcements · Heisenraptor Designs
ANALYZER, VACCINES & BIO SAMPLES The Analyzer is a machine that the scientists can use to develop a vaccine for the Skin Stealer infection by analyzing the new Bio Samples. The more the scientists work together, the faster they will be able to get immunized. Just be careful... the Skin Stealers will also want to get their claws on those Bio Samples. SKIN STEALER CHANGES The Skin Stealer has received some major changes. It starts off much weaker and will need to find and consume Bio Samples to get stronger. The claw attack won't kill in one hit until you evolve enough. It's also faster than bef
UPDATE 1.9.0
2024-05-19 11:17 UTC · Community Announcements · Heisenraptor Designs
EGGS & RESPAWNING Eggs will now spawn around the map, the humans must work together to destroy them before they can hatch more Skin Stealers. Skin Stealers will defend their eggs as they allow them to respawn. Dead humans will also respawn as Skin Stealers after a while, think twice before killing someone. NEW MONSTER ATTACK AND SOUNDS The Skin Stealer has a devastating new ranged attack as well as terrifying new sound effects. MAP EXPANSION The map has been updated with new areas as well as changes to existing ones. I hope to see you all ingame, as always report bugs and glitches on the Steam
