BENEATH A STEEL SKY HITS STEAM
15 whole disks it took then.. Feels like yesterday and forever ago all at once. Very proud of the innovative Virtual Theatre system, Beneath a Steel Sky is a gripping cyberpunk science fiction point and click adventure game. Art directed by award-winning comic book artist Dave Gibbons (Watchmen). It's widely considered as one of the best point and click adventures ever written.
For the first time ever Beneath A Steel Sky is now on Steam, thanks to the warm reception to the 26 years in the making sequel Beyond A Steel Sky, which we released here first. Beyond A Steel Sky can be enjoyed on its own, but if you want to travel back in time with us, and maybe find some hidden origins of choices we made when world building the Union City you know and love, then we invite you on a journey, back where it all started... Beneath A Steel Sky: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1368340/Beneath_a_Steel_Sky 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. 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. In the melting pot of Union City, a not so impossible future, mankinds worse nightmares are waiting to emerge from beneath the steel sky. It's Man against Man. Man against Machine. Man against Time. 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 its too late. Its a terrifying threat that only you can liberate Maybe.
In case you missed it, we announced this heading to Steam just a few hours before on a live stream. If you've never seen Charles and Dave interact this is going to be a treat. But tread lightly: When people spend this much time world-building they tend to forget what is and isn't a spoiler ;) [previewyoutube=Vam18423Xto;leftthumb][/previewyoutube]
It's rare and wonderful for us to be so close to all of you. The amount of love you are showing Beyond A Steel Sky has been incomprehensibly meaningful to us as developers, and people. Because of all the love you have shown us, we were able to bring this game to Steam, and therefore, a whole new generation of gamers. And we're on the edge of our seats to hear what you think. And to those of you familiar; we are so grateful to see you all playing this game, on a whole new platform. After all of those years it still means so much to you.
As developers who have not always had the luxury to be this close to our community, we are not taking this for granted. Thanks to the digitisation of storefronts we are now so much more able to hear from you directly, and we try to always make time to have a little natter / chinwag / hangout session: discord.gg/revolutionsoftware

This game is a huge part of our history, and indeed Adventure Game history. When Charles Cecil & Dave Gibbons work together great things happen..
A cult classic that took AMIGA by storm in 1994

From Charles Cecil, creator of the Broken Sword series, with art direction by Dave Gibbons, legendary comic book artist behind ‘Watchmen’, comes ‘Beyond A Steel Sky’, the long awaited sequel to the cult classic ‘Beneath a Steel Sky’.
You are Robert Foster. A child has been abducted in a brutal attack. You have vowed to bring him home. 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.
Union City is a utopia, its people loving life under the control of an altruistic AI: ever-attentive androids, designer living, piazzas and bars. What’s not to love? But this City has a dark underbelly...
‘Beyond a Steel Sky’ is a dramatic, humorous, cyberpunk thriller in which engaging puzzles drive a fast-paced narrative set in a dynamic gameworld that responds to – and is subverted by – the player’s actions.
The World
An adventure set within a dynamic world, populated by wilful characters driven by motivations that the player can subvert. In combination with a unique hacking tool, multiple solutions to puzzles emerge from player choices.
The Story
Unravel dark conspiracies, defeat a terrifying antagonist in this dramatic, humorous, cyberpunk thriller, which explores contemporary themes: social control, AI, and total surveillance.
The puzzles
Intelligent puzzles are interwoven with an intriguing dramatic narrative to deliver a compelling gameplay experience.
The Look
A beautifully detailed, comic-book styled world, from the mind of legendary comic artist Dave Gibbons.
