System Shock 2 is a direct sequel to the acclaimed horror game, introducing new gameplay elements. Set 42 years after the original, players control a soldier aboard the Von Braun, an FTL starship on its maiden voyage. After awakening from deep-space hibernation, they discover the ship overrun by a parasitic bioweapon that was engineered by S.H.O.D.A.N.
