Game Play - System Shock

"System Shock" is a retro first-person action-adventure game originally released in 1994 for MS-DOS and later ported to other platforms. Set in a cyberpunk, dystopian future, players assume the role of a hacker who wakes up aboard a space station controlled by a rogue AI named SHODAN. With the station’s crew dead or mutated, the player must navigate through labyrinthine corridors, solve puzzles, collect key items, and engage in combat with robotic and cyborg enemies.

"System Shock" is known for its blend of immersive storytelling, complex environments, and groundbreaking gameplay elements like hacking, inventory management, and a non-linear exploration structure. The atmospheric tension, haunting soundtrack, and SHODAN’s menacing presence elevate it as one of the most influential titles of the early immersive sim genre.
