FRACT is a musical exploration game. You arrive in a forgotten place and explore the vast and unfamiliar landscape to discover the secrets of a world built on sound. You rebuild its machinery by solving puzzles and bring the world back to life by shaping sound and creating music in the game.

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.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5750337/95a33899fc2e3bba81506a7a29b6cbc8329052a8.gif Join Richard Flanagan, the creative director of Phosfiend Systems as he plays through the entirety of FRACT OSC while sharing behind the scenes insights into the making and story of this landmark indie videogame. We'll try and have the stream up all week, but you can also watch it on youtube here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFeo0qAYQFo)
Hello longtime FRACT fans, we'd love your help! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5750337/95a33899fc2e3bba81506a7a29b6cbc8329052a8.gif FRACT OSC's 10 year anniversary is coming up in April, and we're planning to put together a retrospective on the conception, development and release of FRACT. We intend to be quite candid and open open how this wild thing got made - from the team, tools and techniques employed, to the mistakes, missed opportunities and just where the heck we've been doing for a decade. AND WE WOULD LOVE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMUNITY. So if you have anything you'd like us to answer, d
SOLVE PUZZLES. DO SYNTHESIZERS. SAVE MONEY. Great news synth weirdos! FRACT OSC is on deep discount as part of the Steam Puzzle Fest from April 24th to May 1st! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5750337/207cf646334bcfab2120fd3641164425db05c721.gif
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5750337/5fe7164ebe59519d37b3654b5bc2f00d0eacff52.gif Hello Again! More good news as FRACT OSC has been classified as Playable by the DeckLords at Steam! ALSO, IT'S ON SALE! In our experience it runs quite great on Deck, and we think you'll enjoy FRACT on the go. While our experience doesn't 100% line up with Valve's assessment, we didn't want to hold up the approval process. Three points to note in it's playable status according to Valve: This game sometimes shows mouse, keyboard, or non-Steam-Deck controller icons (the default controller bindings are visible in the menu, ju
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5750337/2ef363fd75629876f9b2917b0423af22945c4e9c.gif Hello Everyone! In a surprise that really caught us off guard, FRACT OSC is up for a Steam Award this year! We're eligible for the 'Labor of Love' award - a category we've perhaps not entirely earned, but think of it as motivation to engage with our community and plant the seed for things to come? We'd love your support, please vote for FRACT OSC if you can! Thanks! The phosfiend team
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5750337/c24404fa7dbe1915339ed46ebe203b2894550e50.png phosfiend systems is excited to announce our collaboration with Superbrothers on the expansion for their game JETT: The Far Shore. The initial release of JETT: The Far Shore was one of our favorite games of 2021, as it captures an amazing sense of momentum and flow, while also presenting a captivating sci-fi narrative in a unique and rich far away world. When the opportunity came up to work with Superbrothers (co-creators of the awesome Sword & Sworcery EP) on the equally ambitious Given Time expansion, we eagerly hopped o
SYNTH ANYWHERE! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5750337/6bbc2ffbb8f8d846232ac7777ff208846d7edfdf.gif FRACT OSC has not been officially Steam Deck Verified (yet) but we can unofficially say it runs great! Decade old first person synthesizer walking simulators are probably not at the top of Valve's list, and we don't have the ability to push it through the process manually at the moment. That said, based on our testing and a bunch of folks reaching out to us via email, dms and other means, we have every reason to believe it should work just fine on the deck. In fact, it's a pretty ideal platform for the game

Congratulations on surviving the Steam Winter Sale! (Alternatively: my commiserations on your wounded bank balance, but at least you have a load of new games to play.) If you thought that might be it for cheap PC games until Valve's annual Spring shindig, then boy were you wrong: here were are, just two days later, and Humble have come up trumps again. Their latest Weekly Bundle is all about 'eye candy' games, and to that end they've collected the scrumptious Year Walk, the lovely Lovely Planet, and handsome handmade shmup The Blue Flamingo, with Dust, Mind: Path to Th
