In 1999, System Shock 2 pulled players into the eerie depths of cyberspace, blending horror, sci-fi, and immersive storytelling like never before. Today, we trace the rise and fall of Looking Glass Studios, the visionary team that helped shape modern immersive sims. We explore how their partnership with Irrational Games brought SHODAN back to life, why the game’s design still inspires titles like BioShock and Deus Ex, and how the legacy of System Shock continues to haunt the industry decades later. Join us as we hack terminals, battle rogue AI, and uncover the story behind System Shock 2 on today’s trip down Memory Card Lane.
