    This cyberpunk thriller is 27 years in the making for its creators Charles Cecil and Dave Gibbons as players set to return to Union City following the events of Beneath a Steel Sky. As Robert Foster, you are tasked with investigating the disappearance of a young boy in which the leads have brought Foster back to the dystopian city.<\/p>\n

    As such, everything that’s happening in Union City is not what it seems, which is largely due to the advancements in artificial intelligence. According to Cecil in a recent Dev Diary<\/a>, “As evidenced by the presence of a class system in this society, with a surprising twist: in Union City, the wealthiest live as close to the ground as possible, while the poorest and the droids live on the upper levels.”<\/p>\n
