"Remember, it is my will that guided you here. It is my will that gave you your cybernetic implants, the only beauty in that meat you call a body. If you value that meat... you will do as I tell you."


The cult classic sci-fi horror FPS-RPG has returned.


You awake from the cold chill of your cryo-tube to discover cybernetic implants grafted to your flesh and the crew of the starship Von Braun slaughtered. The infected roam the halls, their screams and moans beckoning you to join them as the rogue artificial intelligence known as SHODAN taunts and ridicules your feeble attempt to unravel the horrifying mystery of the derelict starship Von Braun.

Your Training Has Prepared You For This.

  • Choose from 3 specialized branches of the military to utilize unique skills, weaponry, and paranormal psionic powers.
  • Upgrade and enhance your skills to improve hacking, weapon proficiency, and psionic abilities.
  • Discover cryptic audio logs, encounter ghostly apparitions and conduct research to give you the advantage in combat and unlock exotic weapons and items.
  • Play with up to three friends in multiplayer co-op (co-op works in Windows only)

System Shock™ 2 is a genre defining experience that established innovative game-play mechanics that are a staple of the FPS and RPG genre today. It has gone on to inspire some of the greatest titles of our generation with games including Deus Ex® and Bioshock®
Discover how a haunting story, innovative game-play and a terrifying atmosphere has made System Shock™ 2 one of the greatest games of all time.

The Mac OS and Linux versions of System Shock 2 use a technology called "WINE" to function on those operating systems.

at long last....

This game? Freaked me OUT when I first played it. It is still the pinnacle of what can be achieved in storytelling in gaming. The pacing, the balance...all perfect. I will leave the lights on this time :) THANK YOU GOG!

be afraid - and remember citadell

my opinion to SS2 is.... well. i was skeptical, because the youtube-videos didnt convinced me. but i gave it a shot - and i dont regret the 9 USD for this game. its cool, beeing a soldier on an (almost) abandoned ship, fighting monsters, disabling surveillance-cameras and trying to destroy the system wich took controll over anything in your environment. a wrench, some guns, your psi-forces and some stim-packs are everything left to aid you in combat. the combat-sistem itself is a little tricky, but practising and waiting for the right moment to act are the keys to survive. one last thing: installieren sie bitte unter keinen umständen die deutsche version, ansonsten verliert das spiel seinen charme und sie erwachen umgeben von bewustlosen körpern, welche in ihrem eigenen erbrochenen liegen. wenn sie auf so etwas stehen sag ich nur - viel spass :)

Short & Technical Review

Synopsis: You do not know who you are & where you are but you find yourself surrounded by people who lost their minds. The atmosphere is chilling also the Final Boss is one of the scariest & memorable In fact IROBOT used the final boss as a reference to the game. Atractive Elements: * Vitachamber(same as in bioshock but this is the first one) basically you always respawn. * You can use elements & puzzles. * Great Plot. * Scary Atmosphere. Engine:Dark Engine(Looking Glass's engine for Thief I & II)
