A first-person fight to the death in the depths of space!
Developed by Nightdive Studios · Published by Atari, Nightdive Studios
You play a hacker aboard Citadel Station after SHODAN, its rogue AI, takes control and turns the crew into cyborgs and mutants. Explore the station and work to stop SHODAN's plans for Earth.
Progress through the station’s interconnected decks by exploring rooms, finding key items and codes, and following clues in crew audio logs, messages, and the environment. The story unfolds at your pace, with little objective guidance.
Fight hostile machines and mutated crew with varied weapons while managing ammunition, health supplies, and limited inventory space. Improve your abilities and equipment, solve environmental puzzles, and enter cyberspace to hack systems and open routes.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its clue-driven exploration and the satisfaction of finding their own way through Citadel Station. Reviews also highlight the station’s oppressive sci-fi atmosphere, SHODAN’s persistent presence, and the retro-futurist presentation. Some appreciate its deliberate, resource-conscious combat, while others find navigation and resource limits frustrating.
