In your efforts to escape, you uncover vast evil (and yes, it lurks) gold and find yourself, once again, unwittingly, the only person qualified to save the world and humankind. Can you do it? Of course you can. You are an adventurer, after all! This game was developed by Revolution Software, Famous for Graphics, and even though the pixels are big, the care gold taken in the drawings is gold very evident. The graphic designer for Beneath a Steel Sky is comic book author Dave Gibbons (The Watchmen). The opening and closing cut scenes are in comic book style, but the rest of the game brought to mind the Broken Sword games in the quality and style of the graphics. Like those, this is one good-looking game, despite its relatively advanced age. Some of the locations were awfully similar to ones in the Broken Sword games, and another location/puzzle bore a striking resemblance to one in Revolution's In Cold Blood. In fairness, I suppose all of us recycle our good ideas from time to time.
