PRIMARY DOWNLOAD LINK (Updated with german translation on 12.1.2010)
Download link here >>CLICK ME <<
The download now contains the german language translations as well, changing most of the game's text into german. This feature can be accessed by running the game's setup and selecting the german translation from the drop-down menu.

The game tells you the first part of the story of Michael Owen, a spaceship mechanic aboard the small cargo transporter called "Pelican" by its young captain. The crew rest peacefully in hypersleep, until something goes very wrong onboard the ship and the crew is awoken to investigate the events.

The game features:

>> Over 600 lines of voice acting
>> Creepy retro music composed by Tony - Ferrara - Caven
>> 30 rooms to investigate
>> A pequliar storyline, that acts as the beginning of a much greater chain of events in the sequels
>> Beneath A Steel Sky user interface and inventory

Woho! Congrats on the completion. Downloading now.

Nice game so far!

The things I see wrong IMO are the speeds of characters. The main characters walk really slow, but the enemies walk way too fast. It's hard to shoot at them sometimes.

That, and sometimes I have no idea where I'm going or what to do. Is there a map by any chance?

Anyway, I'll continue playing. The music and sound is very nice, and the speech is excellent.

Downloading now...

I anticipate to play this soon, but I have to get ready for my new job.
I work @ Six Flags now.

It sure would be nice if RapidShare didn't suck so much. I'll be playing this if/when I'm actually able to download it.

Rapidshare is hopefully just a temporary solution, as I am hoping to get myself some proper website-space and my own domain, so that I can host my games on my own. This will probably have to wait to some time around July/August due to funding problems.

If I can get rapidshare to work, I'll sure have a look at it. So far no luck.

miguel · Wed 07/05/2008 22:27:54

Hmmm. I'll wait for a mirror then, looks like you all having problems downloading.
Can't wait to play it though.

LimpingFish · Wed 07/05/2008 22:28:43

www.filefront.com is marginally better for hosting files. Less clicking involved when downloading, anyway.

Dualnames · Wed 07/05/2008 22:29:00

I think i might give you a mirror..i might..don;t hold your breath.

LUniqueDan · Wed 07/05/2008 23:56:39

Congratulation Wham!
I was really waiting for this game since sooo long!

Downloading right now!

aww...I downloaded it and it wont work. =(

Angel Dust · Thu 08/05/2008 03:38:10

YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you tell I am excited! Downloading now.

Edit: Just played it for an hour and it's quite good. A bit too vague with your objectives but the atmosphere is effective.

Nostradamus · Thu 08/05/2008 07:57:36

Hmmm looks interesting, will download in a minute.
And people Rapidshare is not my favorite file sharing site but come on it's real easy to download from. Just click the button on bottom right that says FREE. After the little counter you get to download the file. Nothing complicated here.

But WHAM, seriously you really couldn't think of a name? Michael Owen, seriously? totally not stolen from the Newcastle striker huh?

AdventureMan · Thu 08/05/2008 09:29:47

This is a very nice game, but where do I find the inventory button?

It's the bar on top of the screen. By default it'll show your gun (40). Items you find will be added there.

AdventureMan · Thu 08/05/2008 09:41:33

Thanks a lot, I didn't thought of that.

Interesting production. Bit clichÃ© so far, but the atmosphere of the game really wrapped me up!

edit: one thing I didn't like was the .zip size, maybe you should consider to release a "lighter" version for he who doesn't own DSL. Music and voicepack are really ell done though

BOYD1981 · Thu 08/05/2008 11:32:31

aha, rapidshare appears to be working for me again so i'm downloading it now.
oh yeh, by the way you don't have to include the .html on the end of a rapidshare link, in most cases i've found that causes my browser to try save the file as html or open it in the browser.

miguel · Thu 08/05/2008 11:51:09

Congratulations WHAM, very nice game, the graphics are simple in a good way and the sound quality is really above-average (very good acting), I love those automatic door opening!

Too bad about Michael Owen's injury, oh well, at least he got a job in the marines!
Really, great game so far, good story, the main character leaving his mates behind works very well.
Congrats!
I also like it when Ellie screams
