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

One of the best adventure games ever

This is one of my favourite games of all time and easily my favourite adventure games. Play it. The charm, wit and comedy provided by each charcter you come accross in the game is so heart warming and adictive. Couple with fantastic story writing and clever puzzles make it a game that is hard to put down. Just play it already, it's free to boot. Then try the new sequel recently released on iOS and soon on PC.

As good as I remembered

I played it when I was a teenager and downloaded it again to see if it was still as good as in my old times. Even though it's an old game the story is fresh and enjoyable. Absolutely recomended.

Near perfect point&click adventure

This is must play for any point and click player. The story is great, the characters are very well developed, the music is nice, the writing is excellent, the puzzles are fun. The only flaws are some very minor pixel hunting (there are locks and slots hidden everywhere) and sudden, unexpected deaths. I definitely recommend playing Beneath a Steel Sky to any classic adventure game lover though. Just save early, save often and save on several slots. Oh... and beware of the hole!
