Thomas Was Alone Creator Reveals Volume

Mike Bithell, creator of the rectilinear platformer Thomas Was Alone, announced his new game yesterday. It’s called Volume and he’s describing it as a stealth game about being heard. Bithell is once again working with composer David Housden, alongside a new team of developers. Here’s the trailer:

You won’t be killing anything in this game. Instead, your job will be to avoid obstacles and sneak around the various challenges, using an array of tools that includes… thunderclaps and veils?

The game will ship with hundreds of environments to play through and players will also be able to create their own levels. Take a look at this gameplay demo video from Bithell.

Volume will be released some time in 2014.
