Beneath a Steel Sky review – PC Gamer #1 (UK, December 1993)
After two years of development, Dave Gibbons and Revolution Software's critically acclaimed game Beneath A Steel Sky finally arrives. This futuristic techno-thriller, heavily influenced by Philip K Dick and William Gibson, represents a significant departure from the company's previous work, Lure Of The Temptress. The game's narrative unfolds in a bleak, polluted future where corrupt corporations have taken control, forcing the lower class to live in claustrophobic towers while the wealthy reside underground.
The protagonist, Robert Foster, must navigate this oppressive world to uncover a conspiracy and escape his own kidnapping.
