While searching for Audrey, a missing young girl, Elijah Crow uncovers a sinister plot targeting society’s outcasts.
Somewhere along the shore, androids longing to become human are offered as sacrifices.
Far out at sea, a mysterious tower harbors secrets that could unravel the fabric of civilization.
Suspended in the sky, Roark Prison looms—a colossal airship where thought criminals face imprisonment.
Somehow, these threads are inextricably intertwined.

I just played through the demo, and I just wanted to say I was really impressed. The art is obviously excellent, and I absolutely love the vibe, the whole retro-cyberpunk feel, the noir style dialogs. The story so far is engaging and makes me want more of it. The whole things is just very much my cup of tea in every way, I am very much looking forward to the full game :)
Thanks so much Mattias, so glad you enjoyed the demo! :)
Perfection!
Thanks! :)
Any chance of this coming to Android?
Probably not I'm afraid.
Wow! Did you do the art all by yourself?
Yep! A couple animations were commissioned.
Hello! If you need anything related to sound design/music just hit me up.
Absolutely for free. Trying myself in a video-game music and sound design field.
This looks great! I've added it to my wishlist on Steam. I don't want to play the demo because I don't want to spoil anything and/or have to re-do it all when the main game comes out. I'm a total sucker for cyberpunk themed stuff. The trailer and gameplay pics were enough to twist my arm haha
Thank you! <3
Hi hi hi! Can I translate this into Chinese? =3
I don't think we'll be able to do that, but thanks!
This looks great, I've got to try the demo!
Cheers, please do! :)
A fan of M John Harrison by any chance?
Can't say I've read him, but maybe I've read someone inspired by him. :)
I ask because he has a great book set in a futuristic slum (Nova Swing), where the line "Send me a neon heart" is central to the story.
Looking forward to giving this a play! n_n

Oh wow.
This one sucked me in.
I've played through Beneath a steel sky (and Beyond a Steel sky) as well as Samnmax, Tales of monkey island and a few other pixel art point and click adventures and this one sucked me right in.
I am very interested to see this project continue further.
Thank you for sharing this Demo.
Lovely comment, thank you!
those games are great. i grew up on them. The Dig is a personal fav. wadgeteye games do some great ones too sometimes as well. but this is the first time ive heard of a beneath a steel sky sequel. i looked at the specs and i think my poor laptop would explode. lol thank god for youtube letsplays and ichio games like this
This game pulled me in from the start. I was curious not only about finding Audrey but also about the investigator's past and struggles. The cyberpunk city felt so real, and every clue made the story more exciting. The part about androids and the floating prison was really interesting. It is not just about solving a case but also about exploring a strange world.
So glad you liked it! :)
how can I play itGreat demo! I really enjoyed the cliffhanger at the end. This had me sucked in as soon as I started it up. Great game!
Thanks so much! :)
hry
demo ended abruptly. hope the full game is out soon
This looks cool
Suggestion:
The option to movie dialogue text to the bottom of the screen.
This seriously reminds me of Gemini Rue, also one of my favorite games visually. I love it! :D
Thanks! <3
