Dark Cyberpunk Stealth-Action Title ‘Steel Seed’ Arrives April 10 on PC, Consoles [Trailer]
Publisher ESDigital Games has announced that Storm in a Teacup’s stealth-action title Steel Seed is getting an April 10 release on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series. A demo is also available on Steam for the dark cyberpunk hack ‘n slasher, as well as a new trailer, giving prospective fans “the most in-depth look yet” at the world of Steel Seed.
From the team that brought you Close to the Sun, Steel Seed takes place in a dark sci-fi world where humanity stands on the brink of extinction. After a catastrophic event rendered Earth uninhabitable, machines took control of the remnants of humanity’s survival. The underground facility is a vast, machine-built structure designed for machines — not humans. Zoe and her flying drone companion, KOBY, must investigate the depths of the underground facility in search of answers and the key to the survival of mankind.
“Steel Seed has been an incredible journey and a massive effort for our team,” said Carlo Ivo Alimo Bianchi, CEO & Creative Director of Storm in a Teacup. “We’ve poured our passion, creativity, and dedication into every detail to bring this world to life. This game is our homage to all the stealth-action players who thrive in the shadows, strategise every move, and embrace the thrill of the challenge.”
Players must utilise shadows, distractions, and the environment to evade or take down enemies as they make their way through the facility. You’ll be facing off against various enemy types and challenging bosses, each with unique abilities. Zoe’s not without her own abilities, as you’ll have access to three distinct skill trees featuring 40 different upgrades, allowing you to customise your playstyle.

You and your companions are on the deck of your galleon. El Capitán has given you a contract to fulfill: gather as much wealth as possible, find a missing person, locate an ancient fort, and, if possible, return safe and sound from this perilous expedition. As soon as you set foot on the shore, at the edge of the jungle, a vague sense of dread takes hold. In this jungle, treasures and mysteries await you, but so do unspeakable entities ready to make you regret ever setting foot in their territory.
The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu will launch July 15 on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series.
