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.

Update: Scavengers Studio have since responded to the allegations, apologising for "the harm caused" and committing to doing better for their staff. Read their full statement below. Original post from 26/01/2021. Last year, the makers of the Darwin Project, Scavengers Studio, announced Season, a lovely-looking bicycle adventure about a traveller "recording the last moments of different cultures before they’re washed away."

Dear Darwin Project Community, We disabled Duo mode at launch due to a number of issues surrounding the addition of classes and bugs in our Invite/Party system. We are happy to announce that duos are back and available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One! Do not expect any major changes to the mode except a few adjustments with the behavior between classes such as: Meteor and Grappling Gauntlet not affecting the teammate. The lockdown colour changes between teammates and opponents (blue for teammates; red for opponents). Fixes around the party system which should be more consistent now. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}
