The old, very nineties, 2D point n’ click adventure look and style is gone. So strictly speaking, you really don’t have to have played through Beneath a Steel Sky to know what this one is all about but if you want o get the most out of the references, you really should (it is free don’t forget). Thankfully, Beyond a Steel Sky gets you up to speed with the main events of the last game through various little references. What’s not to love? But this City has a dark underbelly…įor those who do remember the original game from 1994, you are playing as Robert Foster once more and have to return to Union City a decade after the events of the first game. Union City is a utopia, its people loving life under the control of an altruistic AI: ever-attentive androids, designer living, piazzas and bars. The trail has led you to Union City, one of the last remaining mega-cities in a world ravaged by shattering wars, and political meltdown. A child has been abducted in a brutal attack. Art directed by award-winning comic book artist Dave Gibbons (Watchmen), Beneath a Steel Sky is widely considered as one of the best point and click adventures ever written.You are Robert Foster. Featuring Revolution's Software innovative Virtual Theatre system, Beneath a Steel Sky is a gripping cyberpunk science fiction point and click adventure game. It’s a terrifying threat that only you can liberate… Maybe.
Strangers in a strange land, Foster and Joey must survive long enough to discover the sinister truth behind his abduction - why they specifically came for him - and defeat the evil before it’s too late. In the melting pot of Union City, a not so impossible future, mankind’s worse nightmares are waiting to emerge from beneath the steel sky. Foster soon resurrects Joey and together they find themselves in Union City, where oppressed citizens live and work in soaring tower blocks, under the strict control of a brutal, fascist, AI dictatorship – whilst the corrupt, covetous and rich live below, shielded from the choking pollution. After being brutally abducted from his village in the wasteland, his village obliterated, and his kinfolk butchered, Robert Foster escapes a helicopter crash and finds himself alone save for the circuit board of his best friend, Joey, the AI he built as a child.
