About the Game

WELCOME TO THE VOLUME

You are Robert Locksley, and this heist will change everything.

Volume is a near-future retelling of the Robin Hood legend, starring BAFTA-winner Danny Wallace (Thomas Was Alone), Charlotte McDonnell, and award-winning, critically-acclaimed actor Andy Serkis (The Lord of the Rings, Planet of the Apes) as Gisborne.

Uncover, then unravel, the exploitative plots of Gisborne Industries by using the Volume to pull off increasingly ambitious heists. Challenge a corporate leviathan with stealth action – it doesn't matter how many guards Gisborne posts if none of them know you are there.

Sneak, distract, avoid. As you grow in notoriety, so will your inventory. An arsenal of gadgets await discovery in a quest to rob from the rich and give to the unheard

Key Features

  • 100 levels of pure stealth action, unlocking a suite of gadgets as you go to avoid, distract and evade detection.


  • Three modes to play your way: Freedom (checkpoints always enabled), Lockdown (checkpoints disabled while being pursued), and Execution (checkpoints always disabled).

  • Full suite of easy-to-use tools to build and share your own levels with the world.


  • Original soundtrack composed by David Housden (Thomas Was Alone) that mixes the futuristic setting of Volume with its Robin Hood inspiration.

  • Starring Andy Serkis (The Lord of the Rings, Planet of the Apes), Danny Wallace (Thomas Was Alone), and Charlotte McDonnell.
