Survive a Sinister Steampunk Airship With Your Giant Robot Companion. They Will Come, from ex-Midway Games Art Director Jeff Troutman, Launches Steam Page
A great steam war is brewing, and a child is caught in the middle. 'They Will Come' puts you into tiny Benjamin's tiny shoes, with nothing but his wits, his slingshot, and his odd mechanical friend Talus to keep him safe.
[October 21st 2026]: Little Benjamin, his trusty slingshot, electrobanger, and his giant robot face off against an enormous steampunk airship filled with Wretched Ones and towering automatons in They Will Come, a new adventure puzzle game from Game Pop Studio, founded by industry veteran Jeff Troutman. Explore your environment, collecting items and solving puzzles, making sure to stay out of sight, ducking from shadow to shadow.
Your family has been captured, and the wretched ones have made it clear that nobody is making it out alive. There's no one left on your side but Talus, a giant steam driven robot in a top-hat and a small army of automaton power cells called Embots. Riding atop his shoulder or inside his hollow chest offers a safe place to hide, and his mighty arms offer smashing revenge on those who have taken so much from you. Scurry through the corridors and hangers and factories, gathering power-cells, coal and water for your companion, and then lead him to safety; you are each other's last hope.
They Will Come will be releasing its Steam page on Wednesday 12th November, and will be releasing on Steam in Q1 2026.
