And since then Beneath has become a cult classic, enjoyed by waves of fans since, who stumbled upon it in varying ways, more on that later.

We look at the new title, the journey its predecessor took to cult classic status, and how (appropriately) after almost giving up on the genre in frustration, Revolution found a solution in an unexpected place.īENEATH A STEEL SKY Charles Cecil (left) and Dave Gibbons working on Beneath a Steel Sky.
