Limassol, Cyprus -18th March 2024. ESDigital Games is thrilled to announce a new publishing deal with developer Storm in a Teacup to publish their stealth action-adventure game Steel Seed for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in late 2024. ESDigital Games will showcase the first public gameplay demo of Steel Seed at their booth at GDC Play from 20-22 March. 

Steel Seed is a stealth action-adventure game set in a dark, sci-fi world where humanity is on the brink of extinction due to seemingly irreparable climate change. Join protagonist Zoe and her flying drone companion KOBY as they investigate the depths of a hostile underground facility in search of answers and the key to mankind's survival. 

“From the first time we saw Steel Seed, we knew that the talented team at Storm in a Teacup had a great concept for their take on the stealth action-adventure genre,” commented Oleg Kudishov, CEO of ESDigital Games. “We are excited to be partnering with industry veteran Carlo Ivo Alimo Bianchi and his team on this project and look forward to sharing their vision with gamers across the world.” 

• 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. Fans can Wishlist the game on Steam now!
