Nightdive Studios took on the task of remaking this classic in modern HD nearly 30 years later.

If this premise sounds familiar to you, it’s probably because you played the original way back in 1994. You agree to the terms…but you’re in for, well, a shock. When you wake up somewhere else, a corporate executive offers you your life and the cybernetics you were trying to steal, in exchange for using your technical skills to break into SHODAN (Sentient Hyper-Optimised Data Access Network), the AI that’s hellbent on destroying humanity and runs TriOp’s Citadel Station facility near the planet Saturn. You give them the bird when they demand you turn around, and they knock you unconscious.

Unfortunately it’s not long after logging in that some folks comparable to the SWAT team break into your house with guns pointed at you.

Your goal is to steal military cybernetics that will enhance your natural abilities. You’re an unnamed hacker who’s trying to get into the TriOptimum Corporation servers.
