SystemShock is the open-source reimplementation of System Shock, a groundbreaking 1994 cyberpunk FPS/RPG hybrid originally developed by Looking Glass Studios. This project reverse-engineers the original DOS game, porting it to modern systems while preserving gameplay, visuals, and audio as authentically as possible. It uses SDL2 and modern C++ to bring the classic experience to new platforms, with options for widescreen support and quality-of-life enhancements. SystemShock’s open codebase allows the community to contribute fixes, mods, and compatibility improvements.
