Your sarcastic and witty robot Joey will often bring a smile to your face not to mention the ludicrous nature of many of Union City's inhabitants: a surgeon who is addicted to laughing gas, a very energetic insurance salesman, a plant worker who seems to have an unhealthy love for clip boards - and those are just three examples out of many more! While the screenshots may be a bit misleading, BASS is not all doom and gloom. Thanks to Revolution's Virtual Theater System they walk around, take elevators, go home to rest, go to work, etc. On the way you''ll be meeting many interesting and colourful characters who all live their own lives.

To discover who you really are and why you were taken to the city.īASS was the second adventure game made by Revolution and they clearly learned from their first game Lure of the Temptress.

The game starts with the helicopter crashing down in the city and you making your escape into one of the large tall plants. Beneath A Steel Sky (BASS) is set in a post-apocalyptic Australia where you're an orphan living with a tribe in the wastelands the 'gap' when a helicopter comes to take you to the enormous Union City.
