The Game: Beneath a Steel Sky
Genre: Australian Cyberpunk Point-and-Click Adventure
Platform: PC
The Scoop: Beneath a Steel Sky is a classic point-and-click adventure game, originally released in 1994. In 2003 the game was made freeware no catch! In an era where classics are remade, repackaged and resold on a daily basis, it's refreshing for an older game to simply be made available for free.
The game takes place in a bleak dystopian future and remains to this day one of the best video game depictions of a cyberpunk setting. At the time of its release the game was considered massive in scope, featuring over 100 "rooms," full voice acting, comic book cutscenes and more. It launched to rave reviews. If you never experienced this classic, no time like the present to jump in! Modern gamers lacking the patience for point and click shouldn't be ashamed to consult a FAQ – at least the artwork and story can still be enjoyed, if not the puzzles.
