The story is kicked off with a kidnapping and your Gaplander character Foster’s resulting efforts to infiltrate Union City.
Cushy city-dwellers must comply with the extreme social codes of the megacorps that own them, while Gaplanders must fend for themselves in self-sufficient tribes. In some far-off future, life is a scattering of megacities on a wasteland known as the Gap. Dick: Everyperson’s trifling concerns play out right under the nose of world-sized, reality-challenging nefariousness, but it’s all only semi-serious. The scenario is Douglas Adams meets Phillip K. It’s a straight follow-on from Revolution Software’s 1994 critical darling Beneath a Steel Sky, recreating its charm and depth for 21st century gamers. But Beyond a Steel Sky invites you to pretend that never happened. Sierra-philes and Lucas-fans alike are united in sorrow by the words “cat hair moustache”, the eternally-echoing death knell of the genre's golden age which came gonging out from Gabriel Knight 3’s infamous doppelgänger sequence. Everyone agrees the early '90s were where it was at – even those who wrongly preferred Sierra Online. Just moments after Lucasfilm Games graduated from the kindergarten clunk of Maniac Mansion, The Dig was in its Spielberg-endorsed grave.
The first golden age of the point-and-click adventure was brief.
