Beyond a Steel Sky is an Adventure Game developed by Revolution Software and the sequel to 1994's Beneath a Steel Sky. It was released on June 26, 2020 on the Apple Arcade, with a Steam release set for July 16, 2020.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The player continues as Robert Overmann/Robert Foster, though a small amount of time is spent from another character's perspective. The game begins with a child friend of Foster's being kidnapped by mysterious robots. His mission of finding his friend brings him back to Union City, which he finds to be a seemingly bustling metropolis. Evidence of his old friend Joey's work is everywhere, as seen by the pervasive attempts to honor his work in everyday culture.References to other works of science fiction (and Monty Python) abound, but the game seems to draw most from Neuromancer (Cyberpunk), the Mad Max series (post-apocalyptic Australia), and Demolition Man (the utopian nerfworld.) |

Vocal Dissonance: If you switch the personalities used for the museum exhibits, the mismatch between the personality and the content can become rather amusing. For example, using the aggressive voice with the children's exhibit comes off as sounding like authoritarian propaganda, which isn't far from the truth. |

Rare Guns: Distance weapons can only be found on rare occasions. Even most enforcement robots use batons or a form of taser. |

Impostor Exposing Test: Alonso administers one to Foster, who is posing as Grundy. On the surface, it seems similar to a follow-up from a social services officer, but the underlying intentions are more sinister. |

Robot Names: Almost every robot, except for Joey (both of them), Chipsworth, and Tarquin (a Monty Python reference), has a name of the numerical/hyphen variety. Even then, the names are often L33t L1ng0 references to their function. |
