Awesome... *clicks* 40€ though :(

Seems a bit steep for a retro shooter and my nostalgia for the original isn't that strong to get it at that price point. Maybe at 50% off.

I'm excited about this. I loved SS2, but struggled to play the original (the standard for controls had changed too much).

Even as an old game when I first played it decades ago, it had nailed the creepy, trying to survive atmosphere in ways no other game had really matched since.

I'll wait for reviews, but this might be a rare purchase for me!!

I didn't really follow all the updates, but didn't they plan to release the native Linux version? I remember their demo had one.

I think they dropped Linux when they switched engines away from Unity to walhat ever they ended up using (unreal?)

I just watched the promo videos. They are leaning hard into the nostalgia, but it looks very faithful to the original. Even the game over scene (so creepy).

I did enjoy this bit

QuoteMATURE CONTENT DESCRIPTION
The developers describe the content like this:

System Shock contains scenes of violence and gore toward humanoid enemies. System Shock also has spider-like enemies that users with arachnophobia may find disturbing.

Because that is by far the least disturbing part of the game, lol.

Gotcha. It works fine in Wine+dxvk/vkd3d-proton (got GOG version key as a backer).

Some nice cyberpunk design to it:

Good to know it runs well! I do really like art style, too!

Sadly nothing from me on it, their publisher did not reply to my key request.

If you are a backer, you can get it through Backerit account. If you don't have one, you can access it through https://system-shock.backerkit.com

Or you mean like a review key?

That's for Kickstarter backers, I am not a backer, I am press.

Got it. Yeah, they are probably pretty loaded now dealing with the release.
