Once the hacking has been done the hacker has an operation to insert the new implant. Offered a highly sought after military upgrade in exchange for the hack. Its the year 2072, you play a hacker who after being caught by the authorities is tasked with hacking a super AI called Shodan, who happens to be in control of the Citidel Station. The original first released in 1994, created by Looking Glass Technologies on DOS and was a horror scifi adventure game set against a rogue artificial intelligence where you were tasked with investigating the dark and empty corridors on a mysterious space station. Restored by Night Dive Studios the game has had a big graphical improvement along with other changes too, but nothing that changes the overall look and playability of the original game. To be due out in, at most, 36 days and still not have a release date is another pink flag, and this one is very dark.Having been a big fan of the original DOS game back in the very distant past i was quite eager to see what the “Enhanced” version brought to the table, and i was not disappointed. I want to like it too, but one peek behind the scenes and things don't seem as solid as they should. Night Dive didn't make System Shock, but it's hard to deny it loves System Shock. The demo played well enough when I first dabbled with it, and if you're going to remake something, it might as well be a forgotten classic crowd-sourced by a medium sized studio dedicated to doing right by the series. There are just a lot of pink flags, and when you raise them all up as one, they look red. For the most part, it's not the people who made the game that was central to generating backers in the first place. Citing "feature creep" at the Games Development Conference in 2018, the game's leads stated development had restarted and a newly assembled team would be moving forward with the project. Of course, Avellone is just one man, he's no longer there, and he wasn't part of the Enhanced Edition team which proved Night Dive had the pedigree for this.
