Après un enlèvement brutal qui rase son village dans le wasteland, Robert Foster survit à un crash d'hélicoptère avec seulement la carte électronique de Joey, son compagnon IA de l'enfance. Réveillés ensemble, ils débarquent à Union City, un univers cyberpunk aux blocs imposants où des ouvriers opprimés triment sous un régime fasciste d'IA, pendant que l'élite se terre sous terre pour fuir la pollution. Foster et Joey explorent ce monde hostile pour percer les raisons de sa traque et stopper la menace imminente.
Ce point-and-click haletant exploite le système Virtual Theatre de Revolution Software pour une narration cyberpunk de science-fiction. Les joueurs mènent Foster à travers des défis homme contre homme, homme contre machine et homme contre le temps à Union City. Il séduit les fans des classiques indés point-and-click.
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, mankind’s 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 it’s too late. It’s a terrifying threat that only you can liberate… Maybe.
Featuring Revolution's Software 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), Beneath a Steel Sky is widely considered as one of the best point and click adventures ever written.
