A Dystopian Cyberpunk Masterpiece
Beneath a Steel Sky is set in Union City, a dystopian metropolis controlled by a tyrannical AI known as LINC.

Along the way, he is joined by Joey, a small, floating robot with a friendly and curious demeanor.
The game’s world is a fascinating blend of high-tech and low-life. Union City is a city of towering skyscrapers and neon lights, but it is also a place of poverty, crime, and oppression.
