BENEATH. A. STEEL. SKY. 2!

Believe it:

Ooh awesome news. I actually have the original Beneath A Steel Sky boxed from Sold Out software (budget release) back when I was a kid in the 90s before it went freeware. I highly recommend anyone who hasn't played it to grab it on GOG.com where it is totally free. It's well worth it. Interesting story and setting. I like dystopian themes so I'll be looking forward to the sequel.

Your wasting your time in recommending to the good people of this community to play the first game ;) There is no way that a true hardcore adventure gamer that is over the age of twenty has not played this game. But I do echo your sentiments in how important to the genre the game is. I'll have to dust off my copy and revisit it.
I AM SORRY I CANNOT HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF MY JOYOUS CELEBRATORY CLOG DANCING!

GOTCHA!
Nice! I enjoyed BASS and can't wait to see what the second installment brings.
You narrowly avoided clogging there, Joel. And you wouldn't want to be clogged by clogs, now would you?

Clog no!

I have to admit I've never played it, although I have a closet shelf full of other adventure games: Longest Journey, Gabriel Knight, etc.

I haven't played either..... =(

I did get the free version off of GOG, and plan to play it someday.

I did play the next best thing though. Bladerunner.

Great atmospheric game. :)
I have it boxed but I wonder if GOG will put it up someday.

I liked Beneath a Steel Sky, but the only adventure games I get sentimental over are comedies.

This Kickstarter thing really has led to a full-on adventure renaissance. It remains to be seen if it sticks, and adventure games continue stay around, but we've got a full roster of high-caliber adventure games coming next year; a legit second chance if ever I've seen one. If there really is a place for these games in the modern gaming landscape, we'll find out the real answer once and for all.
