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.

Trading cards were released for Birth of Shadows on December 18th, 2015. All 11 creature types are represented as trading cards. The descriptions contain some lore and explain the main abilities for each creature. The entire set forms a card version of the bestiary for the game. Badges use actual level titles and artwork from the game. The emoticons are Shadow Knight abilities that briefly describe the mechanics of those abilities. The profiles display some points of interest in the game. I hope you enjoy the new trading cards!
