Fans can get a first taste of what's in store with Storm in a Teacup's dark sci-fi fantasy world
Following the exciting new story thread trailer that was revealed on the recent PC Gaming Showcase, developer Storm in a Teacup and publisher ESDigital Games are excited to announce the launch of a Steam demo for the highly anticipated sci-fi stealth action-adventure game Steel Seed.
The Steel Seed playable demo is available as part of today's Steam Next Fest and offers players the chance to enter a future world ravaged by a devastating natural disaster where the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. The demo introduces the protagonist, Zoe, and her drone companion KOBY as they explore the vast environments of the facility, striving to unlock the secrets held within. Take your time to explore the sci-fi environments and learn stealth moves to slip by the robotic enemies. If things get too hot, you will be able to defend yourself by using KOBY's special skills or by jumping into direct combat against your enemies.
Steel Seed features:
- Immersive, dark sci-fi world - intriguing main character evolution paired with a compelling and deep narrative experience revised and edited by BAFTA-winning writer Martin Korda.
- Stealth: the art of fighting, without fighting - Use stealth-based techniques to explore the facility's hostile environment undetected by robotic entities and guards. Some confrontations can be avoided through efficient movement.
- Dynamic gameplay - When exploring the environment, use Zoe's powerful arsenal of tools and weapons to hone your own gameplay style. Discover new gadgets on your journey and unlock new skills for KOBY.
- Intense combat - Test your reflexes and multitasking abilities in Steel Seed's challenging fast-paced combat action. Dodge enemy attacks and deliver punishing blows to clear the path. Call on KOBY's special gadgets and actions to cover you in combat and neutralise threats.
- Unique levels, unique challenges - Every level inside the facility is unique and offers many challenges for Zoe and KOBY to overcome.
- Mobility - Use Zoe's parkour skills to traverse the underground facility and gain a tactical advantage. From the artificial, robot-controlled depths to the open natural environment, danger lurks around every corner.
- A powerful guide - Take control of KOBY by entering Flight Mode. Scan the area to discover secret areas, detect enemy positions, and find new upgrades for Zoe. Or maybe… use him as bait.
- KOBY, a drone for life - The master key of Steel Seed and Zoe's guide on her lonely and dangerous journey inside the underground facility. By working together, they create a formidable duo and bring something new to every fight.
Steel Seed is developed by Storm in a Teacup and will be published by ESDigital Games on PC via Steam and EGS, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in late 2024.
