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.

Release Date - Changed!
2024-03-25 08:40 UTC · Community Announcements · Vaeril
Hello! I'm happy to say that my (quite) long work on the game is coming to an end, and the game will be released on the 4th of April! Thank you, all those who wishlisted it. I almost haven't advertised it, so it's very motivating! I'm eager to hear your opinions on the 4th (release date change is due to the technical aspects of publishing on Steam, overlooked before). Thanks for reading!
