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.

Hey everyone! We've been working very hard to find and fix as many bugs as we can. Fixes Opening the ring altar after beating the Hotel erases save file. Secrets not unlocking in the Extras Menu. Watchers moving while being in camera view. Replay mode not unlocking properly. Other minor fixes. Some of the bugs that are harder to catch are the ones we can't reproduce ourselves, so we're very thankful to all of you who report them and let us know by showing footage. Keep em coming! :) Thank you all for the support and apologies for the inconveniences caused.
Hey everyone, I'm trying to address the black screen issue after school, as well as the resume button disappearing after beating school and hotel not showing up in the replayable levels list.
