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

Excellent Adventure; a Perceptible Path

An engaging design both in the interface and story. Humor is sprinkled throughout, coming from many different characters, yet the plot is intriguing. The main character, Robert Foster, is a roughened individual. The intro reveals why. As the story unfolds you can thus understand what drives him from one scene to the next, sort of. Sort of because he is as much in the dark as the person playing the game is. Very well done! Extremely satisfying adventure set at just the right difficulty. A little thought, a look in the inventory, carefully listening to npcs, will get you right through to the end. Nothing to complain about here. As my title states, excellent! A gem! Check out this teaser. It's sure to get you off the fence and into the game! https://youtu.be/O0dY9nXNTqo

For a masochist

Games were hard back then. I started with Kings Quest I so I know... But in these days I don't have time or nerve for these any more. Never complete anything without clues back then. But nice graphics, music and voice. Very well made game. I have two walkthroughs and still can not complete this? Maybe bug? One door does not open. I'll try for the story.

Cornerstone of Retro

There are many old games, but only a handful that make Retro a class of game worth loving. BaSS is an excellent retro game, even with the odd case of annoying pixel hunting that you don't get in newer games... NOT!!

Quite fun

It doesn't take it self too seriously, which makes it easy to play, but sometimes it is too goofy. It has its charm.
