2021-03-24 16:44 UTC · Community Announcements · Drainyard
The folks at Indietiative invited us to a devtalk about Altered. It was super fun and interesting, and we thought we'd post it here to tell you about it!
Solve difficult puzzles in a soothing atmosphere by altering your characters in multiple ways, forcing you to think outside the box.

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.
