The game takes place at an unknown point in a dystopian future in Australia, where the Earth has been significantly damaged by pollution or nuclear fallout. Robert Foster is an innocent outsider stranded in a vast city where oppressed civilians live and work in soaring tower blocks... while the corrupt, covetous and rich lie underground, shielded from all pollution. Alone, save for a robot circuit board, Foster must fight for survival... and discover the sinister truth behind his abduction. Best game of all time!all |

Review + awesome visuals + good humour + engaging puzzles + clean interface + pretty damn hard - crappy music and voice acting - too short? 81% |

It's WHEEZING and BANGING like an asthmatic dinosaur in the mating season. [chuckle] |

I've played a lot of adventure games, but somehow this one slipped past my radar. Will check this out, thanks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
it's good, it's freeware now |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
the artist is the same one that drew Watchmen |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's pretty slow and geeky, but I enjoyed what I played (I'm shit at compooter games) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's not the best game of all time, but it's a decent adventure game. 7/10 |

This looks/sounds awesome. Will it work with windows vista? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
does it work on wine |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
works in ScummVM |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can you explain how you got it working? I downloaded beneath a steal sky, ran the exe it came with, it made a couple folders that don't really have much in them, I copied all the files into ScummVM folder as per the readme instructions, and then tried adding the game from every folder I could, and it says it can't find anything. I'm using vista 64-bit, is that the problem? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm really looking forward to the soon to be released iphone version. supposedly the original artist revamped the artwork and the screenshots look great |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
go up a folder. seriously thats all you do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I went all the way "up" as far as I could and tried to add the game at every stage and it says it cant find it. when i run the BaSS exe it says something about putting a gog.com folder in my program files, which is where im assuming the game files would be, but I can't find that folder either. :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also ive tried running the exe as both win 98 and winxp compatibility, and as an administrator, to no avail. :( the installer installs like one file and then says: "Unrecognized game target: 'beneath Usage: [OPTIONS] ... [GAME] try '--help' for more options" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just ran it on vista, though I don't know if it makes any difference that I have dosbox installed. I got fucking stuck after going out the door and then couldn't get back in. Tsssh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you can't even install it you're probably not going to get very far in the game. i think thats being fair. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah it must be completely my fault. no chance of software error here at all. I'm just clicking on an .exe and it fails, what should I be doing differently? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
genuine lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry I can't help, I played it a couple of years ago and I don't have it on my hd now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's so easy to run on Scumm. It even ran on my Nintendo DS last year. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"while the corrupt, covetous and rich lie underground, shielded from all pollution" sounds like our future. |

WOLFSLICE> Man, surprised you haven't played this yet! Hope you enjoy. FREQY>It's a bit of a steampunky vision of the future, now 15 years later (the way they imagined the webs is pretty lol). It's kinda accurate already though don't you think... poor living in highrises and rich living on properties ZEPHYR> Try the 'thinstall' link in my OP it should work in vista |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did ya get it to work nigga? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, it seems to be having trouble extracting the files to programfiles\gog.com. I'm assuming that's where the files that I'm supposed to copy into scummvm are intended to go, but the folder just isn't there. oh well. |
||||||||
|

ahahahaha v.nice don't give up on me zeph! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for the record, has anyone using vista 64-bit been able to get this to work, or are you guys using vista 32-bit? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
|

ahh cool. would like so much more click and play. does anyone have suggestion maybe like clocktower or darkseed.? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, well done. With contributions from samaritans like yourself and a bit of luck, all forums on the internet may yet degenerate into mirror sites for google. I know that scummvm works in 64-bit. I'm asking if the Beneath a Steel Sky installer unpacks properly in 64-bit vista. Would anyone else like to offer an annoyingly obvious suggestion, or have you lot exhausted yourselves? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
switch to mac |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Zephyr try this 'thinstall' port it requires no setup: |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
switch to windows fag |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
most of those links are irrelevant though arent they? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't have Vista 64 but games for scummvm are not exes so I don't think they cannot work, scummvm is the executable if it works then it's fine. I think your problem has to do with gog.com version. try the version on this page: @hexane I found the link trough that google search |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
flags are so 2001 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have this on my PSP |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I finally found a version of this game that ScummVM will recognize. According to the FAQ page on ScummVm there are very specific data files that must be present for ScummVM to recognize the game, so I'm not really sure how anyone was getting these .exe versions to work, at least not in version 1.0. Anyway, it's a cool game. I like watching the characters unhinge their jaws when they speak. |
||||||||

|
Glad you got it going. Have ya beat it yet? Admittedly i needed a walkthrough once or twice... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No not yet, I'm almost ground level I think. Is it a pretty long game? The part where the LINC disposes of that security officer trying to stop you was badass. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's not long at all, as Guybrush pointed out much too short. That part was pretty badass, LINC doesn't fuck around |
||||||||
|

He was right about the voice acting, too. I turned it off in favor of the text-only mode. I actually prefer text to voice acting in 99% of games, anyway, so turning it off didn't bother me. |
||||||||

|
works great with some haunted house music playing in the background |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This game looks like a lotta fun. Very airy vibes going on though. Sort of reminds me of , one of the worst trips you'll ever experience in a video game |
