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

The Oldies Were TOUGH

Good Sci-fi, Earth-flushed-down-crapper title from "back in the day" when games were engrossing, tough, and involved... you really felt you earned your wins. This one did require the shameful use of a strategy guide for certain NPC encounters and the like. Quite enjoyable though, IF you like this style of game.

A great DOS game.

As one of the first point and click only adventure game, it is one of the best I have ever played. The story is good and really funny and the game-play feels right to me.

I can't believe it's free!

Classic oldskool (meaning 1980s-1990s) point and click adventure (beware: the type where you CAN die)... lovely classic comicbook-style storytelling... ah the good old "21st century" Blade-Runner (sort of) adventure feel from the 80s-90s perspective <3

Excellent addictive game!

I can hardly write this becouse i need to play :D. This game is almost excellent. Difficulty on normal is perfect for me. Randomness of events makes it chalanging even if u happen to get some nice weapons. Never be to confident of victory:). I lost few times, but feel urge to try again. Thats the beauty of perfecty balanced games. Just get it, u won't regret single penny spent.

It was an excellent game

The story, the humor, the charm, everything about this game was great. All wrapped up into a nice neat world that really makes you feel for everything that happens. All I can say now is, get this game.
