SHODAN is Still a Dick in the New ‘System Shock: Enhanced Edition’

Published

The original System Shock is old enough that it could stroll up to a bar and ask for an amaretto sour and not get nervous when the bartender asks for an ID. That means there are far too many people who don’t know how much they should love SHODAN, for she is easily one of the greatest villains in video games, horror or otherwise.

Thankfully, the fine folks at Night Dive are here to educate the poor souls who haven’t experienced the joy of SHODAN’s insults with an “enhanced edition” of the first System Shock that comes with higher resolution display options — up to 1024×768, or 854×480 if you prefer widescreen — Mouselook support, customizable controls and a few less bugs. I’d say it only barely qualifies as a remaster, but for $7.99, this is easy to recommend, especially for first-timers.

AreYouWatching.com: ‘The Watchers’ Interactive Website Is Full of Creepy Easter Eggs

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…

The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
