Beneath a Steel Sky, an action, point and click adventure game set in a steampunk world was released in 1994. It has a gritty environment that evoked feelings of claustrophobia and paranoia all while engaging the players in an excellent world and story.
Yesterday Revolution software confirmed it's developing a sequel to this excellent title if its goal for Broken Sword - The Serpent's Curse Adventure on Kickstarter reached $1 million. Unfortunately, it didn't; however, the team is going to create the sequel anyway!
"We're delighted by the recent level of interest in a sequel to Beneath a Steel Sky and are currently discussing design ideas for this project which we plan to go into development following the release of Broken Sword - The Serpent's Curse," co-founder Tony Warriner told Develop
“We're deeply touched that our Steel Sky fans are as enthusiastic today as they were when the original game released in 1994."
