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

Sorry to say it doesn't run with W7. Tried to run it under the compatibility settings but that also failed. Do you have any adventure games that work with W7?
The rating is fake because it's required I put something there.
I actually played this all of the way through because I didn't have much else that would run on this old computer. I had to use a walkthrough several times because the way to proceed was often pretty unintuitive. There are some funny moments and pleasant surprises, like the pixelated nudity, but overall, this was a chore to slog through. Getting stuck over and over was not fun. Two stars only because I laughed a few times.
I just couldn't get into this game. The graphics were too dated, and I just could not get interested in the story. I'm sure it wasn't bad for its time, but even so I recall playing games at this time period that I thought were much better.
While the witty dialog somewhat saves this game, overall the game is giant headache. Not because I wasn't able to solve the puzzles but a mixture of 8bit music that is repetitive and also because some events that should happen in the game do not happen causing the player to be stuck without continuing on any further.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
