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.

Elsinore released back in 2019 and it's actually quite a wonderful adventure that sees you go through a time-loop set in the world of Shakespeare's Hamlet. Read the full article here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2021/10/wonderful-time-looping-adventure-elsinore-got-a-big-price-drop
In order to give more people the opportunity to enjoy Elsinore, we are lowering the price of the game to $10. With other time loop games coming out, it's a great time to make it easier for people to try ours. Thanks for all of you who have supported us so far!
When you purchase Elsinore in the Summer Sale, 100% of the profits will go to Gameheads, a game dev & tech training program for low-income youth and youth of color. Systemic racism is a battle we all need to fight. Black lives matter, and inaction is complicity. To that end, we as teammates have been having a lot of hard conversations of our own over last month—about how we can do more to elevate and support Black and other marginalized voices in the game industry, and about how we can use our own privilege to build a better world. Several of us have been involved with youth education and trai
We've released version 1.4.1 with a couple improvements to the game's endings, specifically to improve clarity around a particular ending. As always, if you experience any issues, please reach out to us on the forums or through email at hello@goldenglitch.com. Added clarity to ending selection. Added content to one of the endings. Cheers, The Golden Glitch Team
A major aspect of Elsinore is changing. Warning: mild spoilers ahead! Many of you have played and supported the game in the last 10 months, and we're enormously grateful to you all. Throughout that time, one piece of feedback has remained consistent: players don't love the way our ending system works. This is us acknowledging that we hear you, and today we're releasing a new update to Elsinore which will allow you to continue playing after choosing an ending without your save file being destroyed. Why? When we set out to build Elsinore's final act, we knew that we wanted to capture the feeling
A new update has been released that fixes a bug introduced with the controller update: Fixed issue where the "Show Buttons" key (shift) did not work on keyboards. Cheers, The Golden Glitch Team
Today's Deal: Save 30% on Elsinore!* Look for the deals each day on the front page of Steam. Or follow us on twitter or Facebook for instant notifications wherever you are! *Offer ends Monday at 10AM Pacific Time
Happy New Year! We have released version 1.3.0 with some new features. We are also incredibly honored and excited to announce that Elsinore has been nominated for the 2020 Independent Games Festival. The game has been nominated for Excellence in Design and Excellence in Narrative, with two additional honorable mentions. New Features Added alternate, modern costumes for 6 characters: Ophelia, Hamlet, Claudius, Gertrude, Polonius, and Laertes. These can be activated in the Gameplay Options menu. Added Steam Trading Cards. Collect them all to unlock Elsinore-themed emoji, Steam backdrops, and pro
A few exciting things have been added to Elsinore, and more updates are coming in the next couple months. As with our past updates, when you update to this patch, your game saves will be advanced to the next time loop. All progress made during your most recent loop will be preserved (just as if you hit the reset button). If you experience any issues, please reach out to us on the forums or through email at hello@goldenglitch.com. Additions The game should now fully support controllers across all platforms. We spent a while iterating on our controller support in the hope of giving you a fairly
We've released version 1.1.0 with some bugfixes and improvements. Due to the number of changes and fixes, game saves will be advanced to the next time loop. All progress made during your most recent loop will be preserved (as if you hit the reset button). If you have any problems our questions, please reach out to us on the forums or through email at hello@goldenglitch.com. ImprovementsAdded button to the timeline that allows players to travel to the location of ongoing or upcoming events.Added several additional responses from characters for relevant hearsay.Stopped camera moving when present
Our 1.0.1 hotfix build is live! Thanks to players for reporting some of these issues. If you see anything odd, you can report it to us on the forums or through email at hello@goldenglitch.com. Improvements Changed keyboard movement to better align with castle geometry. Added more nuanced dialogue to several events and present scenes. Removed some redundant notifications when invited to events. Fixes Corrected various typographical errors. Fixed various inconsistencies with events. Prevented Ophelia from sinking into stairs when talking to people. Fixed conditions for being kicked out of a cert
It must be frustrating to create something with a time-looping premise when everyone talking about it is immediately going to compare it to Bill Murray film. Anyway, Elsinore is Hamlet meets Groundhog Day. It looks very neat.  Instead of a weatherman, we've got Ophelia, stuck in a four day loop that ends with everyone in Elsinore Castle dying. It's a point and click affair, where you'll need to explore the Danish castle and beyond and chat with its inhabitants in an attempt to tweak fate. Hamlet, Othello, Polonius—the whole gang is here.  The residents of Elsino
Elsinore is released to the world today. We hope you all enjoy it. We can't wait for you to experience this world. We'll be updating the game regularly and providing patch notes here in the coming weeks. However, if you encounter an issue playing the game, please send us a report at hello@goldenglitch.com -- we'll help you diagnose a fix quickly! Love, The Elsinore Team
We are reaching peak Groundhogbut. We’ve already had Groundhog ‘but it’s a murder party’ in The Sexy Brutale, and Groundhog ‘but you’re his son, in VR’ with Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son. We’ve got Groundhog ‘but the sun keeps exploding’ in The Outer Wilds, Groundhog ‘but it’s 12 Minutes of arguing with your wife’ is due in 2020, and Arkane Studios’ Groundhog ‘but assassins’ is in the pipes with Deathloop. To tide you over, here’s Groundhog ‘but you’re Ophelia off of Hamlet
