This is the original version of Braid from 2009, which may not work well on newer systems. For an updated version of the game with nicer graphics, more levels and a large amount of developer commentary, see Braid, Anniversary Edition.

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.

Behind the scenes, off in a darkened room, we've been working hard on the next game. It's almost done, coming out later in 2026. But this week only, you can try the demo on Steam for free. The demo is big and has a lot to play!The demo disappears on Monday, so if you are interested, be sure to try it now. Thank you and have a good rest of your day!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/499180/Braid_Anniversary_Edition/ Recently we released the Anniversary Edition of Braid, which has fully hand-repainted graphics, a bunch of new levels, and tons of developer commentary. If you missed it in the Winter Sale, we have it on sale again for 75% off, just for a few days more! Here's the trailer: We made the Anniversary Edition a separate release on Steam so that we could preserve the original Braid unchanged, and ensure it still works for people with older systems (the game was released in 2009!) But if you have a newer system and want more stuff,
Известный инди-разработчик Джонатан Блоу прокомментировал свои недавние скандальные заявления относительно релиза Braid, Anniversary Edition. Ранее на одном из стримов он признался, что ремастер продается аки "собачье дерьмо".
14 мая состоялся релиз Braid, Anniversary Edition – ремастера культовой игры от именитого инди-разработчика Джонатана Блоу.
We recently released Braid, Anniversary Edition, which is a new version of Braid that contains a bunch of new puzzles and other levels (almost doubling the size of the game), and 15 hours of developer commentary, where you can see details about how the game was made, and learn dark secrets of puzzle design. The Anniversary Edition is now on sale for 75% off, making it super cheap if you haven't picked it up yet. And if you already own The Witness (or want to pick that up too), you get an extra discount on top. We're very proud of this new edition of Braid and if you like the old game, we hope
16 years after the release of the original Braid, four years after the announcement of the remake, five months after the reveal of the remake's launch date, and just 12 days before it was finally set to happen, Braid: Anniversary Edition has been delayed. The good news is that it's just a brief postponement: Instead of arriving on April 30 as planned, it's now set to come out on May 14... Read more.
Студия Thekla отложила релиз Braid: Anniversary Edition. Игра должна была выйти 29 апреля, но теперь появится почти на месяц позже - 14 мая на PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Switch и ПК и 15 мая на Xbox Series X|S и Xbox One . Причина задержки не уточняется.
It's been more than three years since the announcement of Braid: Anniversary Edition, a "hand-painted" remake of the famed indie hit. At the time, it was supposed to arrive in 2021, and that was a pretty big miss—but now, two years later, we've got a new release date of April 30, 2024... Read more.
There’s a real art to remastering, and that’s very evident in Braid’s Anniversary Edition. The 12-year-old painterly platformer is undergoing extensive renovation to its graphics, and adding in what developer Jonathan Blow calls “the craziest, most-in-depth commentary ever put in a video game.” (more…)
Braid, the indie puzzle-platformer from Jonathan Blow is getting a huge overhaul with a new Anniversary Edition that's due out sometime in 2021.
Jonathan Blow, creator of Braid and The Witness, has shown more of his new puzzle game. It's a game inspired by (and even, it seems, codenamed) Sokoban, the old Japanese game about pushing boxes in specific orders to cover all the marks on the floor. Blow showed footage during his talk at Spanish conference Gamelab, which I popped along to a few weeks ago. It's taken a little while for the videos to appear online. In the footage, the viewer looks down into a leafy kind of compartmentalised level to see three characters and six doorless rooms. There's one big crystal which needs moving but when
Braid's protagonist Tim, seen here mid-jump. Art by Michael Fitzhywel Braid is one of those games that rolls lazily off the tongue in conversations about the most influential indie games of all time. Depending which of the many breathless pieces you've read about it over the years, Braid was either an "enormous leap towards realising the potential" of videogames that "ripped away…years of gaming blinkers", the "Sex, Lies and Videotape of indie gaming", or possibly even gaming's "Easy Rider" moment. It has a reputation as more than just a
Last week, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds smashed the Steam peak player records . The previous record-holder, Dota 2, while admittedly made by one of the world’s biggest and most powerful games companies, began as a Warcraft mod. These days, we barely blink an eye at the idea that a game can come from nowhere and shake through word-of-mouth, clever concepts, a bit of cool technology like Portal’s… well, portals… or simply by hooking into some reservoir of good feeling, and accomplish more than any marketing budget can dream of. Minecraft is this generation&#x
The Witness designer Jonathan Blow has shown off an early prototype of a new game. While not official in any capacity, the unveiling happened during his talk at the Reboot Develop conference in Croatia. Thankfully, it was livestreamed on Twitch, so we're able to get a look at it as well—it's been uploaded to YouTube by Daniel Bross , and you can see it in the embed above. It looks like it's a puzzle game that consists of pushing blocks around. According to Blow, it's still very early on in development, as most of the work has been focused on creating the level edito
Earlier today, The Witness and Braid creator Jonathan Blow posted an image on Twitter of what appears to be a makeshift catheter and a tub of his own pee. "Here is another thing I helped make, to help finish The Witness," Blow wrote proudly above the image, which has sent social media into overdrive. Finding a way to urinate without leaving one's seat is an enduring concern for humanity, but few have nailed an adequate solution. Indeed, creating makeshift catheters is something society is more likely to frown upon than celebrate. It's more sensible to buy a professionally made one. S
