Brutal comic book-inspired action-meets-stealth platformer SteamDolls – Order Of Chaos has debuted a brand new teaser, announcing that a brand new demo is coming soon. 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. The game has returned from its long public hiatus with a brand new Steam page, and has announced in a new teaser video that a full length demo will be coming soon. The teaser, featuring voice work from the aforementioned stars, 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.

In the mean time, overhauled screenshots and more can be found river on the game’s main Steam Page here. (Note: Screenshots featured within this press release are mixed between scenes from the upcoming demo and the full game).
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 JenniferHale.
