About

Engage in the role of Whisper, the cunning, bloodthirsty, and slightly eccentric character portrayed by David Hayter, and skillfully navigate between stealth and violence as you traverse a comic book-style steampunk metropolis teetering on the brink of chaos.

Originally unveiled to the public in 2019, the title proudly showcases a gathering of AAA voice talents from the Metal Gear Solid series (unconnected to the studio), including David Hayter, Christopher Randolph, and Jennifer Hale. It promotes itself as an exclusive blend of stealth-light and action platforming, sprinkled with intense combat sequences and extensive exploration opportunities.

Initially conceptualized from a comic book and subsequently funded through Kickstarter, the game SteamDolls has been a labor of love for its director. The game showcases a captivating blend of 2D and 3D visuals reminiscent of comic books, interspersed with distinctive, fully-voiced cinematic sequences. It offers an expansive world to traverse, divided into distinct zones like a picturesque yet wildly overgrown chapel, a gruesome underworld resembling flesh, an electrified industrial fortress, a city plagued by an insectoid infestation, and many more! Utilize the loot amassed during your adventures to enhance your home base, The Whisper, and his abilities to match your preferred playstyle, uncover exclusive lore and cutscenes, and display your most prized trophies proudly.

Absolutely, the game title presents more than just its top-notch voice acting and stunning visuals. Once you’re inside, you’ll be drawn into the horrific chaos of a city turned chaotic and twisted. Explore the city’s dark corners and immerse yourself in every hidden detail, including the blood of its residents. As The Whisper (played by David Hayter), you’ll need to navigate both stealth and violence to achieve your objectives. You can engage in brutal combat, executing powerful finishers on your enemies, or operate covertly, slipping through the cracks unnoticed. Engage with the narrative of the SteamDolls universe, uncover not only this world’s story but also its hidden secrets. Gain access to terminals and relive past events, and encounter the spirits lingering in the fragments of the contemporary world.
