If you know this genre of game, then you know what’s coming. When Foster woke up, he followed the tracks to Union City, and then, the point-and-clickery begins. A four-legged machine rose up from the ocean, scooped him up, and carried him off into the desert. We are once again placed in the shoes of Robert Foster who is on the hunt for a kidnapped child. It’s not quite cyberpunk, it’s not quite dystopian, it’s a mixture of the two. But I digress, lets go back to the start of the game.īeyond a Steel Sky picks 10 years after the original game and is set in a cyberpunk-esque future. None of this applies to our protagonist, because although he is a good egg, he isn’t big on conformity and lives in the wasteland. Citizens are assigned Qdos points for being a conformist, I mean, being a good egg, and the more social points a citizen has means the higher their class. Welcome to Union City, where your life is governed by that of an AI and your social standing is everything.

This was proceeded by a PC release the following month. Initially, Beyond a Steel Sky was released on to Apple products in June 2020 via the Apple Arcade subscription service. So here we are, 27 years later with the much-belated, long-awaited, and highly-anticipated Beyond a Steel Sky. But somewhere lurking in the back was the lesser know but equally brilliant Beneath a Steel Sky. At the summit of this mountainous genre were games like The Secret of Monkey Island, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Lure of the Temptress, and Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars.
The 1990s were awash with point-and-click adventure games, they felt like a virtual choose-your-own-adventure giving you boundless freedom away from the onslaught of platformers and fighting games.
