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...

Great adventure game with a great story!
I never played the game when it first released, But I'm so glad I have now. It's a great point and click adventure game, with a distopian setting and interesting twist. Definitely a must play!

Old goldie
Very decent game and I spent several hours with this quite old game. It gave a lot of feeling of success but there were few points where I was just frustated. I had to talk to some people for multiple times to unlock a scene even though everything else was also unlocked... so there were few parts were progression was really hard, and not always deliberately. However, would definitely recommend spending few hours with this game just to try out something different for a while.
