Paranoid population. Psychotic criminals. Power hungry corporation. Big Brother government. Haves and have nots.

In the not so impossible future. In the melting pot of Union City. All man's social problems are coming to a boil. Under the claustrophobic lid of a steel sky.

From the pit of the industrial level to the belly of commercial sector, to the spheres where the rich and powerful play. It's Man against Man. Man against Machine. Man against Time. In an urban hell only you can liberate... Maybe.

Featuring Revolution's Software innovative Virtual Theatre system, Beneath a Steel Sky is a gripping science fiction point and click adventure game in the cyberpunk genre. Over 100 locations designed and art directed by award-winning comic book author Dave Gibbons (Watchmen fame). His comic book, inspired by the game itself, is included to complete the content.
  • A claustrophobic, paranoid and psychotic atmosphere
  • Over 100 locations designed by an English comic book artist and writer Dave Gibbons
  • Many interesting characters that move about freely and live out their own lives, thanks to the Virtual Theatre system

this was my first game from gog.com and it was amazing! it is very well done aside from those "flaws" that every game has. in short this is a very good game overall but if you then look at the fact that its FREE!?! try it ecspeically if you are new to gog.com.

Beneath a Steel Sky

I looked at the graphics and the manual and it didn't seem to be anything special at first, but WOW. This game really drew me in and turned out to be REALLY amazing.

Well wow

Sure I've played many good games, Penumbra, Bioshock, Assassin's Greed, Stalker.... Never thought that this would be so good, but I downloaded just for fun. What did I get? A hellawa lot of laughs. I like how the world and humor are made for older people, and so the humor is "mature".
