Volume is the latest game from indie developer Mike Bithell (Thomas Was Alone), and details for the stealth game have just been released on his website. Along with a trailer and some screens, some background information has also been revealed as part of the announcement:
Volume is a stealth game about being heard.
[REDACTED] Does not kill. That would be far too easy. Instead, he commits his crimes through stealth. He sneaks, he distracts, he avoids. He is never seen, and seldom heard. As he grows in popularity and notoriety, so will his inventory. Blackjacks, bugles, thunderclaps and veils are just some of the tools at [REDACTED]'s disposal.
The game will be released with hundreds of challenging and exciting environments, but that is only the beginning. Every area of the game can be remixed, added to and expanded upon. The community are free to take the game in any direction they want, even releasing their own takes on the core levels. This is a game which will evolve, warp and grow as players make their mark on [REDACTED]'s legend.
The story of Volume, the identity of the man, and the reason he steals, will be revealed in October at GameCity.
Bithell and his team are aiming to release the game in 2014, and while no platforms have been officially announced, this tweet reveals that talks are ongoing with Sony regarding a potential release on PS4.
