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.

Blackwell Deception update!
2021-03-02 19:31 UTC · Community Announcements · Wadjet Eye Games
Hello all! You might have noticed that Blackwell Deception has been updated (along with all the other Blackwell games) .

As the game got older, many glitches started appearing. Those should - theoretically - be gone now. We know this update was a long time in coming. Thank you for your patience. This does have the negative effect of breaking all your original save files. If you would like to revert back to the original version
When Giveaways Go Wrong: Wadjet Eye Interview
2013-11-05 13:00 UTC · Rock, Paper, Shotgun · contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Adam Smith)

Let’s pretend it is still Halloween though because Dave Gilbert, adventure-builder and founder of Wadjet Eye Games, has a scary story to tell. I spoke to him about how an attempt to give away Blackwell: Deception for free became a trying ordeal. Then we chased away the ghouls and talked about how a
Indie Royale Fall Bundle Is Quite Good
2012-10-16 16:00 UTC · Rock, Paper, Shotgun · contact@rockpapershotgun.com (John Walker)
While some of the Indie Royale Bundles haven’t been the strongest, the latest collection in its almost-pay-what-you-want pile is pretty strong.
