but sometimes the best is sitting in a cafe drinking coffee with nothing to do at all...

NAME
sky - science fiction adventure game
DESCRIPTION
A science-fiction thriller set in a bleak post-apocalyptic vision of the future, Beneath a Steel Sky revolves around "Union City", where
selfishness, rivalry, and corruption by its citizens seems to be all too common, those who can afford it live underground, away from the
pollution and social problems which are plaguing the city.
You take on the role of Robert Foster, an outcast of sorts from the city since a boy who was raised in a remote environment outside of
Union City simply termed "the gap". Robert's mother took him away from Union City as a child on their way to "Hobart" but the helicopter
crashed on its way, unfortunately Robert's mother dies, but he survives and is left to be raised by a local tribe from the gap.
Years later, Union City security drops by and abducts Robert, killing his tribe in the process; upon reaching the city the helicopter tak-
ing him there crashes with him escaping, high upon a tower block in the middle of the city he sets out to discover the truth about his
past, and to seek vengeance for the killing of his tribe.
