Beneath a Steel Sky (1994)

Short But Sweet Adventure

I'm not a huge point-and-click fan, but when I got this free from GOG when I signed up, I decided to give it a try. The result was an entertaining few hours, as I worked my way downwards to figure out the evil power that controlled the city. I appreciated that most of the puzzles were straight-forward, although not all the mechanics are obvious (the ability to combine items to create a new item took me quite a while to figure out), but overall it was enjoyable figuring out how to proceed to the next step. As for the storyline, it's simple, but makes great use of the characters; your robot pal Joey is definitely a delight, as is his blatant Doctor Who joke that comes out of nowhere partway through the story. All in all, a good way to spend an afternoon (and part of the evening), especially if you are a fan of sci-fi storylines.
