Thomas Was Alone Creator Mike Bithell Reveals Next Game Titled Volume

Thomas Was Alone was a surprise indie hit that released last year on Steam and saw even more success this year when the shapes based puzzle game made its way to PlayStation Network, Developer Mike Bithell has now announced his follow-up release to Thomas Was Alone that features a whole new style of play called Volume.

The upcoming release features stealth action not completely unlike a mixture of Monaco: What's Yours is Mine meets Metal Gear Solid. Players will traverse maze like arenas full of guards and traps all while securing money and prizes without being caught. The game will allow players to solve the challenging puzzles in any way they choose while focusing more on stealthily making the way through the stage rather than killing whatever the player sees. Sounds play a key part of gameplay in Volume, as players attempt to distract guards with noise making items, while staying hidden and quiet themselves. The game will also feature an extensive map editor mode to create whatever the player chooses and then share it with the community. Look for more details on Volume coming later this year as we near the game's PC release in 2014!
