Hot off of this year’s 2024 Tokyo Game Show feature and a recent trailer reveal, brutal comic book-inspired action-meets-stealth platformer SteamDolls – Order Of Chaos has debuted a brand new demo on Steam (live today, October 3rd, at 11am EST / 8am PST). This new demo was long in the making and is now taking over the game’s old “Concept Demo” page from 2019. This demo contains the prologue sequence to the game. Current plans are for this demo to be available for the time being in order for long-time followers of the game (and new fans alike) to receive immediate access, but then to be migrated to a separate sub-page of the main game ahead of the next upcoming Steam NextFest, of which the game is participating in. On October 14th, the game will debut a limited-time extended demo on the aforementioned new demo application page.

The title, originally teased to the public back in 2019, boasts a reunion of AAA voice actors from the Metal Gear Solid franchise (no relation to studio), including David Hayter, Christopher Randolph, and Jennifer Hale. It bills itself as a unique stealth-meets-metroidvania experience, with brutal combat and deep levels of exploration. The demo trailer can be viewed below:

Originally conceived in 2019 based on a comic book from the development studio and then Kickstarted soon after, SteamDolls has been a passion project of its director. A small concept demo was originally launched at the time of original conception, which acted as a small preview of the original title. Since then, the game has changed significantly, undergoing a significant visual upgrade as well as an overhaul of gameplay. The original concept demo, which acted as a vertical slice presentation of the game’s concept, will be launched out of Early Access with this new updated demo replacing such. A separate, longer extended demo will be available separately for the upcoming Steam Nextfest.

The title has more to offer than just its AAA voice work. In-game, you’ll find yourself entrenched in the utter brutality of a labyrinthine city gone mad. Sleuth through the shadows of the world and lose yourself in every nook and cranny of this city – and the blood of its inhabitants. Taking the role of The Whisper (David Hayter), you’ll have to balance stealth and brutality to make your goals into reality. Assassinate your enemies and perform devastating finishers, or lurk in the shadows and slip between the cracks. Experience the narrative of the Steamdolls world, and delve into not only the story of this dying world but also the secrets found in its shadows. Hack into terminals and experience the memories of the past, and the ghosts that lurk in the remnants of the modern world. 

Features:

• Novel stealth-lite gameplay mixed with platforming and brutal action
• Gruesome finishers and combat
• Use your hacking skills to experience the memories of the world
• Beautiful comic book-inspired 2D meets 3D aesthetics
• A vast world to explore, filled with secrets
• AAA voice cast, including David Hayter (Solid Snake) as the voice of The Whisper, as well as Christopher Randolph and Jennifer Hale.
• Hand-drawn Cutscenes for the narrative parts mixed with 3D cinematic inserts

The game is developed by French studio The Shady Gentlemen, and publishing assistance from Top Hat Studios, Inc. Additional images, such as full resolution screenshots and key arts/logos, can be found attached.
