Immerse yourself in Beneath a Steel Sky, a masterpiece of cyberpunk point-and-click adventure developed by Revolution Software, the creators of Broken Sword.

An immersive cyberpunk story

Union City, a vast industrial metropolis under constant surveillance.
You play as Robert Foster, a survivor from the wastelands, abducted by security forces and trapped inside a megacity ruled by an artificial intelligence.
Accompanied by Joey, your sarcastic and loyal robot companion, you’ll hack, investigate, and manipulate a totalitarian system where every terminal hides a truth and every dialogue choice can alter your fate.

The steel catwalks, dim neon lights, and ever-present machines depict a dystopian future inspired by Blade Runner and Neuromancer.
The sharp British humor, cohesive puzzles, and narrative direction by Dave Gibbons (Watchmen) make this game an experience as intelligent as it is visionary.

• Story-consistent puzzles with minimal backtracking once you learn the map.
• Dialogue as a tool: bluff guards, bait clues, squeeze info from terminals.
• Companion dynamics: swap your robot’s chassis to access new interactions.
• Finite, interconnected puzzle web built for clean 100% routes.
