Re-discover what made System Shock the first of it's kind, a ground breaking immersive sim that would inspire a generation of games to come. Other than that, in true System Shock fashion, you are going to be reading/listening to emails, audiologs and consult your notes for the majority of your time playing in order to attempt to save yourself from SHODAN.For the first time ever, System Shock has been rebuilt from the original source code as a FREE update to all owners of the game! Double clicking will interact with whatever you are inspecting. When you leftclick anything in the game, you get an inspection message, the game will tell you what everything is. I think you will find that the game is pretty intuitive. The rightmost tab is hardware, that includes items like medkits, battery packs or mission gear. You switch weapons, apply patches and cook grenades by simply switching from freelooking to cursor control, and just double clicking the object you want to use. The middle tab are Softwares, things like implants that let you boost your crouched movespeed, rocket boots that let you fly for a duraton etc. Leftmost tab are equipment items, such as weapons, grenades and patches. In the bottom of your screen are your inventory tabs. If you want an item from the floor, use freelook to face the item, then press E to switch to cursor mode, and click and drag the item into the bottom interface of your screen.

When you play SS1 you will be constantly toggling between freelook and cursor control back and forth, it is not like a modern game where the menu interactions are all bound to specific keybinds. In the top left corner is a miniature of your character, to crouch, crawl or stand you click the little boxes on that character to toggle between them (the default binds for those are R, F and C. Basically, everything you do in the game is pretty much done via left clicking on different parts of the screen. The E button will toggle between freelook and cursor control. WASD to move forward, backwards and strafe in either direction. Most things in System Shock 1 can be done via the interface.
