Beyond a Steel Sky is a modern cyberpunk adventure game developed and published by Revolution Software, and released for Windows on July 16, 2020. It’s a narrative‑led sequel to the 1994 cult classic Beneath a Steel Sky and combines rich storytelling with engaging puzzle‑solving gameplay set in a dystopian future. Players return to Union City, now a seemingly utopian mega‑city controlled by an altruistic AI, but soon discover that all is not as perfect as it appears. You step into the shoes of Robert Foster, who returns to the metropolis on a mission to rescue a kidnapped child, only to uncover hidden conspiracies and social‑control systems that challenge your sense of morality and choice.
Using Unreal Engine 4, the game features cel‑shaded 3D graphics with comic‑book‑style presentation and a dynamic world filled with vivid characters you can interact with. Puzzles range from hacking systems to clever environmental interactions, each woven into the narrative to keep players exploring and thinking rather than just clicking forward. Themes such as surveillance, AI authority, freedom, and social automation give the story depth and modern relevance, making Beyond a Steel Sky appealing to both classic adventure fans and newcomers alike.
