Robert Foster is an innocent outsider stranded in a vast city where oppressed civilians live and work in soaring tower blocks... while the corrupt, covetous and rich lie underground, shielded from all pollution. Alone, save for a robot circuit board, Foster must fight for survival... and discover the sinister truth behind his abduction...

Not worth your time
This game took me literally years to finish - I just couldn't get into it despite starting it on several separate occasions, but my will to play wore out very quickly each time. I eventually followed a walkthrough to the end just to be able to say I've experienced it, but what a dull ride, and I certainly won't be playing through it again. I suppose I should credit the writing, at least - the story wraps up quite neatly and overall the game tells an honest tale of human hubris and regret. Is it worth trudging through the brown levels and solving obtuse puzzles for, though? Definitely not.

Pretty Good
This game came out when I was about to turn 3, so I can't say I have a deep attachment to it. Snagged it for free, and threw up a guide because I'm not great at these games. Had a good time of it.

classic but pretty clunky
I love the art and environment design. The controls are fine. The main issue is how obtuse it is sometimes with what you're supposed to be doing, unrealistic characters, and convolution of its puzzles. But I saw there was a sequel, and had to play this first. Love Revolution's later games!
