Hello Citizens,
Welcome to release day! That's right - SteamDolls is OUT NOW in Early Access. You can view the latest trailer below:
As you can see, the game is $19.99 - the price will go up as we get closer to the 1.0 release. The team has worked tremendously hard on the game. We will be tracking ALL bug reports that come in as well as all feedback. We believe feedback to be incredibly vital to Early Access and want to ensure the game is perfect at 1.0.

Also as a reminder, if you enjoy the game - be sure to leave a review! It helps us substantially.
As mentioned in our last post, here is what to currently expect in Early Access:
- Roughly 5-7 hours of content, and substantial bonus content (about 50-60% of the overall game)
- 6 chapters of the story, each containing a large biome (interconnected to the main world), each capped off with one boss
- Completely and fully voiced content by our star-studded cast of David Hayter, Christopher Randolph, Jennifer Hale, and more
And here is a small sampling of changes in game for those who have played prior versions:
- Substantial fixes to combat + animation improvements - combat is now less "hack and slashy" and more diversified and integrated with the game's stealth system. There are now different combos and types of attacks, and more of an integration for secondary weapons.
- Enemy AI improvements and fixes, including enemy "detection" for stealth. Much smarter than before!
- Complete stealth system overhaul - detailed further in tutorial
- "Focus" Mode (the hacking mode) now gives additional information, such as hard to see traps, stealth detection alarms, and more
- State/Upgrade System, to spend hard-earned cash on and customize your gameplay style
- Collect lore, furniture, and other trophies in your whisper hideout
- Substantial polish and design changes to level layouts, animations, and more [*[ New introductory sequence(s) and lots of new cutscenes and gameplay sequences
- Redesigned side content and bonus routes in each biome
Once again, we will note that our job is never done. We continue to make changes and fixes based on player feedback throughout Early Access - feedback is one of our #1 goals in Early Access and we are excited to see what everyone thinks of the game. Below are some screenshots highlighting various parts of our Early Access:
We hope you enjoy, and see you again soon! We will be regularly posting (likely on a monthly basis) detailing updates and other thoughts from our end.
