night dive studios system shock release date

It was a revolutionary step forward for the medium in a time when developers first began experimenting with interactive story telling. Talking about the original version of the game, Nightdive said: “ System Shock was one of the first 3D games that took a methodical approach to exploration while revealing a story-driven narrative through audio logs and messages scattered throughout the game world. Ken Levine, who worked at Looking Glass when it making System Shock, certainly never stopped trying to make System Shock, eventually giving BioShock: Infinite an ending that suggests there are thousands upon thousands of variations on this theme.Last February, the developer confirmed that “ the game can essentially be finished from beginning to end” but the team wanted to spend more time polishing the project. It’s easy to understand why people played this game and then became obsessed with it, why you can trace some people’s careers through the game.

There’s always a discovery - a new weapon or a vending machine or a shortcut - or at least a useful lesson lying in wait.

I often found my way through levels mostly by accident, by deciding to turn down hallways I hadn’t gone down before. It also rewards your curiosity as much as it does your caution. You can get yourself into unsolvable situations - it’s a game that asks you to pay attention, that doesn’t always signpost the next thing to do. You can - and probably will - eat absolute shit the first time you try to make your way through the medical bay. What really excites me when I play System Shock is how little it holds my hand.
