Why you should buy Beyond a Steel Sky:
- You enjoyed the original game, Beneath a Steel Sky.
- You are into cyberpunk thriller vibes.
- You like clever and thought-provoking puzzles.
A great comeback
Beyond a Steel Sky is a thriller puzzle game and a sequel to Beneath a Steel Sky from 1994. The original game received many praising reviews, so the sequel had pretty big shoes to fill. The game brings up serious problems of the modern world: social divides, consumerism, and totalitarian control. However, with an engaging storyline and clever puzzles, it’s not too sensitive.
A playable comic-book
For Beyond a Steel Sky, Revolution Software collaborated with comic-book artist Dave Gibbons. And because of that, players can enjoy a unique artwork with comic-book speech boxes. Watch the beautifully created futuristic surroundings with a touch of cyberpunk machinery.
Ten years later
Ten years after the events of the first installment, Robert Foster’s dragged back on the trail of a missing child. He finds out that Union City is now under the control of The Council. Everyone has to be happy, as their lives are connected to a Qdos system, which tracks your social standing and gives or takes from you the access to do certain things.
Discover the dark secrets
While solving more and more crimes, you’ll learn new gameplay features. Completing the puzzles will require much thinking, as the game involves some twisted logic and hidden hints you may get from talking to NPCs. Feel free to explore all clickable elements, and enjoy hidden jokes, like the Monty Python ones from the robots.
