Beneath a Steel Sky
Fantastic sci-fi futuristic adventure game, not as long as i thought but very well written. The puzzles are all logical and it is one of the few adventures i completed without having to use a walkthrough. The voice acting is a bit hit and miss but that was common on early talkie adventures.

Great for the time period
I've always enjoyed the old-fashioned point-and-clickers, and this was a fine one. Some of the puzzles were rather "out-there", and a walkthrough was necessary at one point, but the storyline, environment, and overall design of the game was magnificent. Definitely a recommendation, especially so because it's free!

Just Play It
I could spend an eternity talking about what a great game this is, but i'm not kidding when i say this...play this game, now! It is just fantastic. It'll never win an award for feel-good game of the century, but if you like a game with highly logical puzzles that aren't too hard or too easy, and a plot that gets deeper and deeper and more interesting as you play along, get going because it's free!

Fantastic Adventure
While it may not be quite as good as titles such as "Monkey Island", "Full Throttle', or "Day of the Tentacle', it certainly holds it's own...and at a price of $0 what have you got to lose?
