Just finished this and there were quite a few moments that reminded me of Beneath a Steel Sky.

The system governing the city.
Trance reminded me of LINC Space.
The chair near the end, where the helmet comes down on the user, with all the living tissue and veins all around.

While a very different story to BASS, the parallels are hard to miss. Anyone else think so?

Same here, and I had the same feeling while playing Machinarium where you go into that robot's "mind" to clean it from viral infection near the end of the game, and Primordia where you defeat Metropol in the end.

Ultimately, Beneath a Steel Sky's Linc, Technobabylon's Central and Primordia's Metropol are all kind of HAL 9000's children.


Also, Foster meeting his dad at the end of Beneath a Steel Sky is kinda similar to Latha aka Mandala finding out that Carlie Regis is her dad, and the revelation that Galatea and Central are her sisters, kind of.

Yes, exactly - and the fact that Foster's father needed him to be the new organic tissue for LINC in the same way Galatea wanted Latha to be the surrogate for Central's new personality.

you read my mind, look what i wrote in this other post:

Nice to know I can read someone's mind 4 years before they even think something! lol
