Evaluation

Volume launched on August 18, 2015 as a complete stealth action game with 100 levels and a full narrative. In the weeks following launch, Bithell Games shipped a series of bug fix patches and one notable feature update — the Checkpoints Update (version 1.1.00, August 27, 2015) — which added three distinct play modes and new leaderboards in direct response to player feedback. A September 13, 2015 post hinted at additional feature updates in the pipeline, but no named or substantial post-launch content beyond that checkpoint update ever materialized. The last meaningful gameplay-related patch was a server migration in November 2016 to move the game off Facebook's discontinued Parse service — a maintenance update with no new content. Both DLC items released alongside the game on August 18, 2015 are a making-of eBook and the original soundtrack — supplementary media rather than gameplay content. No DLC has been listed, announced, or shipped since launch. The most recent developer news post about Volume (November 10, 2025) frames the game as part of Bithell Games' "Legacy Celebration," bundling it with other older self-published titles and distributing creator keys for streaming. This framing explicitly treats Volume as a completed, historical release from the studio's back catalogue — not a game in active development. There is no roadmap, no unshipped DLC, and no developer statement suggesting further content is planned. The game launched as a finished product, received a single post-launch gameplay update within its first two weeks, and has been in maintenance-only status ever since.

About this 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.
