About Beyond a Steel Sky
You are Robert Foster. A child has been abducted in a brutal attack. You have vowed to bring him home. But the trail has led you from your community of desert wasteland dwellers, to Union City, one of the last remaining mega-cities in a world ravaged by shattering wars, and political meltdown.
Fortified and impenetrable, it is a utopia in which people live happily under the surveillance and control of a benign AI. But all is far from what it seems...
‘Beyond a Steel Sky’ is a dramatic, humorous, cyberpunk thriller in which engaging puzzles drive a fast-paced narrative set in a dynamic gameworld that responds to – and is subverted by – the player’s actions.

• Unravel dark conspiracies, defeat a terrifying antagonist in this dramatic, humorous, cyberpunk thriller, which explores contemporary themes: social control, AI, and total surveillance.
• Intelligent puzzles are interwoven with an intriguing dramatic narrative to deliver a compelling gameplay experience.

Great writing, frustrating gameplay
I was thoroughly enjoying the story, world building, sense of humor, and vibrant comic-inspired art style. Unfortunately, the gameplay has major flaws. First, the user interface is fiddly: it can be difficult to maneuver the camera into just the right spot to interact with an item, especially when the target is moving. Second, in classic point-and-click fashion, many elaborate, tedious steps are needed to accomplish mundane tasks. The last straw was an extended sequence of hacking moving robots to steal a poem, only to find my solution was not the intended solution and wasn’t working for some reason. These puzzles feel like filler that wastes my time without advancing the story. I’d rather skip to the exciting parts. Future adventure game developers, please take note of what not to do.
