Beneath a Steel Sky is a British Point-and-Click video game created by Revolution Software. The game was released for PC DOS and Amiga platforms in 1994. It came in two basic versions for both of those platforms: a text-heavy disk-based affair with minimal sound effects and a more lavish CD-ROM production with full music and speech, the latter of which was unusual considering the limitations of most computer systems of the era. The artwork and general style was partially created by Dave Gibbons, whose illustrations grace the PC CD-ROM version's introduction video, with the subtitles using comic-book style EMPHASIS on KEYWORDS.The player assumes the role of Robert Foster, rescued by a tribe of bandits as a child after he was found as the only surviving member of a helicopter crash on which his mother was also a passenger. He is raised by the tribe and comes to look upon them as his family, learning skills such as hunting and scavenging and building himself a robot from discarded scraps found in local garbage dumps of the walled megalopolis of Union City. They inhabit a barren wasteland known as "The Gap", a deserted area that was once part of the Australian outback, a harsh place where daily survival is a struggle.They are brutally set upon by a team of Security agents from Union City, looking for someone named Overmann. After kidnapping Foster, destroying his robot's shell, and setting off in a helicopter, the leader of the forces gives the order to bomb the village, wiping out both the tribe and the land on which they lived. Overcome with emotion, Foster is restrained by the guards as they make their way back to the city. During the automatic landing, the chopper spins out of control and crashes in Union City's industrial district, killing the pilot and all the passengers but two: Foster and an over-zealous Security agent named Reich. Climbing from the wreckage, he retreats to a nearby factory amidst a hail of laser fire. Reich proceeds to hunt him down, all the while referring to him as Overmann.Union City, the "steel sky" of the title, is a classic dystopian cyberpunk setting full of selfish, morally flexible, and hilarious characters who don't much care for Rob, Joey, and their unusual ways. Staying undercover and stealing anything of use, Rob endeavours to resurrect his robot companion, find a way out of the city, and find the mysterious Overmann, who somehow seems connected to the supercomputer that forms the backbone of their society, known simply as LINC.Beneath a Steel Sky was very well received upon release, with particular praise directed at the stylish graphics and darkly humourous off-kilter dialogue. Nevertheless, it failed to reach a larger audience and remains something of a forgotten gem, although Revolution Software commendably made it freeware to coincide with ScummVM porting the game using its custom engine, which means it can now be played on a variety of platforms. A "Remastered" edition was released for the iPhone in September 2009, which fixes some of the minor issues with the original game, features an intuitive new interface and an improved musical score.Revolution have several times voiced their intention to make a sequel, and have announced that they're working on it. In March 25th 2019, the sequel, Beyond A Steel Sky, was revealed, adopting a cel-shaded 3D look. The game was released on 26 June 2020 on the Apple Arcade, with a Steam release planned for a later date.

Non-Indicative Title: "Beneath A Steel Sky" suggests a domed or Underground City, and Union City is neither, but it still invokes the kind of giant megalopolis it is.

Punch-Clock Villain: Despite their fascist sci-fi dystopia trappings, most of the security officers you meet (the murderous Reich excluded) aren't particularly terrible people. One of the ones at desk in their central office apologizes for snapping at you, and the other said he asked to be transferred out of Domestic because it was affecting him too much.

Lampshade Hanging: Robert does it quite often. For example: When he uses a grappling hook to swing from the factory's fire exit to the security building he says "This could be the most stupid thing I've ever done". The second time he swings across using the same cable, he says "This could be the second most stupid thing I've ever done". Near the end there is a closed door. When you click on it, Robert says "I've gut a hunch I've got to open that".note he doesn't have to.

Loss of Identity: Perhaps the most jarring and unnerving development in the story is when you upload a copy of your robot friend Joey into a pre-programmed android body. Gone is the lovable Deadpan Snarker rogue, in its place is a Yes-Man who names himself "Ken" and is all too pleased to serve. The only consolation is that you still get to keep the original source-code of Joey, on his circuit board.

Stock British Phrases: Used in a savvy way, mostly. Including the time when Anita tells Rob that his idiom about getting a Schriebmann port is actually a description of the procedure itself. "Mostly" is right. Rob is inexplicably prone to using British phrases, particularly the term "smart" to describe something "cool", which is hardly becoming of a guy with an American accent.

Game-Breaking Bug
 Beneath a Steel Sky (Video Game) / int_33ca811a
comment
Game-Breaking Bug: Both PC versions and the Amiga disk version, and all the subsequent ScummVM ports of them, are stable. But the CD32 version is riddled with problems... the code system used to save the game wasn't tested, and some codes will freeze the game as they fail to load certain key files the game needs to run. Not to mention the way the music ducks in and out unevenly on the volume slider, how the speech takes ages to load due to the slow CD drive and poor use of buffering or that sometimes cuts half the music while it plays, and several other things. Which is a shame, as it could have been the best version if more time had been spent fixing the flaws.

Blatant Lies: Reich's security manual begins with a forward by the chairman of the union security council; almost every word of it is immediately obvious as a lie the moment you set eyes on the city or speak to anyone inside it. Among other things, it says that the air inside the dome is superior to the air in the Gap, that the Union Group is winning its trade war with Hobart, and that the strikes against Gap villages are preemptive.

Dubtitle / Fun with Subtitles: Due more to lack of attention to detail than anything else, often the spoken dialogue and written dialogue are different. Sometimes these are regional variations, like changing "spanner" to "wrench", but every so often the line is completely different, although the meaning is the same. This provides an inadvertent source of humour.

Artificial Atmospheric Actions: The game's engine allows for NPCs to wander around and continue their routine while the player is speaking, even. This allows some immersion so say, workers go in and out when you are inside a manufacturing plant. However, it makes people look quite silly, since you have NPCs wandering around as if they have nothing better to do than repeatedly walk around areas or even stand there like they're listening to you.

Disproportionate Retribution
 Beneath a Steel Sky (Video Game) / int_50b05d30
comment
For example, Robert disproportionately de-LINCs Gilbert Lamb and freezes Lamb's assets in order to steal a videotape that he needs as a distraction while Robert steals from his living ally, Mrs. Piermont, so that Robert can send her dog treading water in the park to distract a guard so that Robert can sneak into a church. What Robert actually catches Lamb doing is being disrespectful to Anita and sending her to the "testing area" and bragging that his coat is made from the world's last ten beavers. There is no sign calling the radiation-soaked area the "testing area", and Robert does not catch Lamb de-LINCing anyone nor freezing anyone's assets. However, Robert's motivations are commendable.

Kangaroo Court: Played for laughs in a cutscene. Howard Hobbins, the maintenance man you met at the beginning of the game is put on trial as a consequence of some of the puzzles you solved while in the city, which caused some damage in the process, and he has you defend him. The presiding judge Chutney is eager to cast his sentence, and talks as if the whole scenario is a game show to him rather than a trial. At the end, Judge Chutney at first charges Hobbins with life imprisonment - while the Security logo flashes colors with game show music...and then he drops the charge in favor of two hours of community service.

Conveniently an Orphan: Twice, once when Rob's mother died in a helicopter crash, and again when Reich blew up Rob's tribe and foster family. Another crash soon followed. One of the reveals is that LINC's creator, absorbed into LINC, was the neglectful father of the protagonist. Turns out this is not a Contrived Coincidence, first time round it was LINC trying to stop Rob leaving the city. Second time, it was Rob's father trying to prevent LINC retrieving him from the wastes.

Kleptomaniac Hero: Thankfully this doesn't mean you end up carrying around a bunch of junk. There are very few red herrings, and best of all there is some Lampshade Hanging on Rob being a thief, most notably what happens when Foreman Potts searches him after rummaging around in a store room. If anything, this is one the few games where this is a Justified Trope via Fridge Brilliance. Robert's Backstory involves growing up in The Gap, where scavenging junk and improvising what you need from whatever comes to hand is a fact of tribal life. Hence, his collecting various knick-knacks and using them to MacGyver up solutions to his problems is simply what he's used to.

Bizarrchitecture: Union City is just odd when you pay attention to it - a strange inverse of Hive City from Warhammer 40k. The metropolis is a network of spires, but all the heavy industry is located on the higher levels, above the cloud-tops. Residential areas are beneath these factories, and the city's ultra-rich are below that as well, all on the ground level. Somehow ground level is the most aesthetically pleasing region with plentiful sunlight, greenery, and spotlessly clean. How there is no dirt and grime constantly seeping downwards (or people throwing thing things at the rich) is anyone's guess.

 Beneath a Steel Sky (Video Game) / int_8504b817
comment
Where the Hell Is Springfield?: Neither the manual or game explicitly state it takes place in Australia. Rob's adopted father is clearly a Australian Aboriginal, and took his name from a can of Foster's Lager (Later versions of the game changed this due to trademark issues), and one screen in the intro, depicting life in the Gap, shows the silhouette of a kangaroo in the background. However, once inside Union City, it could be anywhere. (Well, anywhere with a lot of British accents.) News terminals describe Hobart Corporation as the enemy, and it likely takes its name from the capital of Tasmania, which is also called Hobart, possibly siting Union City in the southwest of Australia.

Black-and-Gray Morality
 Beneath a Steel Sky (Video Game) / int_8767b1f3
comment
Black-and-Gray Morality: Rob versus everyone in Union City. For example, Robert disproportionately de-LINCs Gilbert Lamb and freezes Lamb's assets in order to steal a videotape that he needs as a distraction while Robert steals from his living ally, Mrs. Piermont, so that Robert can send her dog treading water in the park to distract a guard so that Robert can sneak into a church. What Robert actually catches Lamb doing is being disrespectful to Anita and sending her to the "testing area" and bragging that his coat is made from the world's last ten beavers. There is no sign calling the radiation-soaked area the "testing area", and Robert does not catch Lamb de-LINCing anyone nor freezing anyone's assets. However, Robert's motivations are commendable. But given Lamb's negligence leading to Anita's death, and the file saying that he may have received his promotion through dubious means, the retribution may be minor compared to what he's guilty for.

Bait-and-Switch: The opening gives the impression you're going to be dealing with a brutal totalitarian dystopia with a brutal State Sec as well as efficient bureaucracy. Instead, Union City turns out to have a stunningly incompetent bureaucracy, a few Dirty Cop types, and a citizenry best described as composed of complete morons.

Hive City: Union City is a sprawling vertical metropolis composed of a network of spires, whose highest quarters, which house the heavy industry, rise well above the cloud tops. Residential areas are beneath these factories, and the city's ultra-rich are below that as well, on the ground level, which somehow manages to be the most aesthetically pleasing region with plentiful sunlight and greenery.

Foreshadowing: All over the place. Seemingly throwaway lines and scenes can give clues to what happens later, in terms of both plot and puzzle-solving. At the middle level you can talk to two guys. One is eerily apathetic and talks in riddles while the other is a total jerkass towards Rob for no real reason. What's worse, they both know Rob's name despite he never introduced himself to them. Later it's revealed they're not human at all ... but LINC's androids.

Nonstandard Game Over: You can get one at the end, if you get plugged into LINC, either voluntarily or involuntarily. It's not at all pretty.

Shout-Out: Lots of pop culture references to be found, some more obscure than others. Joey's initial incarnation uses a rather familiar voice distortion effect. Why? When Rob first gives Joey the welding shell, this happens:

Luke, I Am Your Father: Dad, way transhuman long ago, and recently made somewhat transhuman son meet as enemies in an ultra urban setting. Unlike Star Wars, there don't seem to be any lightsabers in the game nor a protagonist stealing everything of use on the Death Star, but there are great similarities between Star Wars and Beneath a Steel Sky.

Used Future
 Beneath a Steel Sky (Video Game) / int_d0b95b85
comment
Used Future: The setting looks incredibly gritty and run-down. The top level is an outright Industrial Ghetto, but lower levels don't fare much better either. The middle level has a lot of run-down shops, the office of a Back-Alley Doctor, and some rather meager residences. Even the most elegant part of the city, the ground level, is mostly made out of cheaply repurposed old structures such as the metro station turned into a (rather shady) bar or an old cathedral used as storage.

Hoist by His Own Petard: This happened to LINC's creator. LINC requires a Brain/Computer Interface and it eventually wore down its host. Said creator ended up being nothing more than a puppet for his machine and spent decades of his life linked up to it as nothing more than a part in a machine. Now LINC needs to replace him with a blood relative. Foster is his son, and the only option, which is why LINC had him brought to the city.

Red Herring: You can steal a key and a WD40 lubricant from the pipe factory storeroom. You never get the chance to use them, even if there were any as Potts inspects you right after you exit the room and takes said items back. He also takes the sandwich you can steal from Hobbins. The right doorway in the cathedral leads to a massive vertical ventilation shaft. Other than foreshadowing the Union City's underground and causing Rob to drop an accidental Double Entendre it serves no purpose. The option of giving Joey new name is completely optional and bears no significance to the plot.
