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

MAYBE one of the best free game here!

that game is Very beatiful Click and point game, The frames (FPS) is very nicely done in that game AND that game is not too childlish (like 3+ ) so its very nice that you can see blood there :D Hehe (not the most valuable thing in game ) but the game is very intresting and not very hard and graphicks are very beatiful. "BUY THIS GAME" :D

Shortie but goodie.

Beneath a Steel Sky is a great adventure game set in a cyberpunk world - I don't know if it's the only game of its kind with that setting, but it is the only one I've ever played. The story and voice acting are top notch, as is the animations featured in the game. The simplified point and click control scheme is greatly appreciated. The only real flaws are the inventory system, which is ok but lackluster, and the length. Unfortunately this game is rather short and you'll be left asking for more. Either way, at this price, have at it and enjoy.

hilarious

This game is so off the wall that you'll be laughing any time you're not frustrated by the odd tasks required to complete it. The graphics and sound are pretty annoying, but you can ignore the graphics and deactivate the music.

Missed this title

...although i played adventures a lot. Its a great futuristic adventure, not too long, but what I like is the story and not many places to get stuck - all items are used reasonably so you dont have to try out everything on everything to get further.

Wow!

Only just got around to playing his after hearing about it for years. Definitely ranks among my top 10 adventure games for story and gameplay. Art is also fantastic, as is voice acting. I'd also highly recommend using James Woodcock's enhanced soundtrack with ScummVM. It is pretty short though.
