The graphics, music, and enemy sound design maintain a certain spooky charm, but the voice acting sounds more bored than terrified. The control scheme is maximalist beyond words, with no mouselook. Unfortunately, System Shock hasn’t aged well. System Shock (1994) took HAL 9000 and cranked the terror up to 11, later inspiring games like Bioshock and SOMA. What’s less understood than an alien, or an emotionless artificial intelligence? Horror games add an extra dimension to this trope by giving you control over somebody in such a situation. Horror aims to inspire fear, which often springs from a lack of understanding. Horror and Sci-Fi go together like sleep deprivation and a new parent.
Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, on to our regularly scheduled programming. I am not paid in any way to talk about this as-yet-unfulfilled-project. All rights reserved.Disclosure: I have backed this game on Kickstarter to the tune of 30 dollars. System Shock ©2021 Night Dive Studios, Inc. There's scarcely time to think before it unleashes the first terror. Once a prime corporate research facility, Citadel Station now teems with mindless cyborgs, robots and terribly mutated beings, all programmed to serve SHODAN, a ruthless A.I. Where are the surgeons? Why is the station in such disrepair? Slowly, the chilling realization that something is very wrong creeps over you. After six months in a healing coma, you awaken to the twisted aftermath of a terrible disaster. Caught during a risky break-in, you become indentured to a greedy TriOptimum executive. You're a renowned hacker, the most notorious cyberspace thief in the corporate world. With the help of members of the original team, including the original Voice Actor of SHODAN, Terri Brosius, Citadel Station has never been more immersive or terrifying! We will keep the new game true to the classic experience, keeping all the things you loved while giving today's gamers the modern look and feel expected from a AAA title. You can preorder it hereĪfter two decades, Nightdive Studios is rebooting and re-imagining the original System Shock. The full version of System Shock is coming soon to GOG.com.
