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, I've just released a very short, free game set in the world of The Slaughter. Enjoy! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1639760/The_Slaughter_Magdalene/
Hey! The Slaughter: Act Two is back in development after a couple of years on hold. As I've mentioned in the past, The Slaughter is a passion project made entirely by one person, and far from anything that will ever make money from, it costs more to make than it earns so I can't focus on it full time, lest I be living on the streets. I am however back to working on it in my spare time, which relives a lot of pressure and gives me the freedom to make it as abstract and insane as I like, without worrying about potential lost sales. I'm not a big poster in the discussions as they fill me with anx
For those of you wanting to sample the world of The Slaughter before you fully commit to being a citizen of the seedy streets of Victorian London, a demo is now available featuring the game's first chapter!

Hello ladies and gents! The highly divisive mini-game Shove Ha'Penny has had a big update! The physics of the game have been tweaked to be far more realistic. Where previously pennies would collide and continue sliding together, now energy is transferred from one penny to another, meaning that when one penny hits another the first penny stops almost immediately, while the second shoots off. It really changes the feel of the game, making it a lot more enjoyable and instinctive as the physics are true to life. The game can now only be quit on your turn when playing a non-player opponent.

Hey! I've released a new patch! I wasn't too happy with a lot of the sound effect mixing, so I remixed them all, changing the levels, adding reverb and more. Now all sounds should feel more at home in their environment. I've also added the option to quit a game of Shove Ha'Penny at any time, though I have no intentions of adding the option to skip it altogether. Other small changes include faster walk speeds, a couple of new visual effects in the prologue scene, and a couple of bug fixes. Thanks everyone :D
