November 2008. NATO intelligence services report that, for unknown reasons, the Russian military has destroyed Gorky 17, one of the old Soviet Secret Cities. A year later NATO takes over a former Russian secret base built on Polish soil. Diggers discover a laboratory complex in the completely demolished town. After examining the wreckage, NATO decides to leave the lab as it is. But shortly afterwards the town's previously deserted streets are suddenly teeming with hordes of grotesquely deformed creatures. Word soon gets out to the media, making it impossible for NATO to simply destroy the site. So troops are ordered to hermetically seal the area. Nobody is allowed in or out. Will they discover the terrible secret of Gorky 17? And more important - will they live to tell about it?
Be prepared for intrigue, betrayal and even some romance. You will need clever fighting tactics and some brainpower for solving puzzles. Moreover you can search offices, shoot locks and communicate with other characters.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
It worked for like 5 minutes then crashed during the intro movie after clicking "new game" now i can't even get to the start menu.
From what i've read "after" buying the game for $3, people have been having the same type of issues for over a year and GOG hasn't come out with a fix . not impressed .
This is the first game I've played on GOG that had serious and continual glitches.
The visual glitches, sound clipping and random crashes to the desktop really detract from this game.
That said it is fun to play and can be quite challenging until you get the hang of it.
Overall I'd say get it as long as it's in the $3-5 but be prepared for some minor inconveniences while playing.
WARNING: If you don't know it already this game was originally made for Win98 and bunch of videocards that are now impossible to find and won't fit on a modern motherboard anyway. It does have a software mode which looks decent enough for late 90s game. So there's a high chance you won't be able to run it on a modern computer and OS.
If you CAN run it, it's still a buggy mess with DirectX graphics giving you glitches, so you might have to play it software mode anyway. And the game frequently hangs and makes some of your more powerful weapon disappear. AFAIK no fan made patches were ever made to resolve existing bugs.
Otherwise it's a pretty fun game with good humour for a horror themed game. Difficulty is pretty high until you figure out the monster's AI ,attack patterns and weaknesses. There's also a nearly impossible to beat invisible monster battle, which is SKIPPABLE if you know which area to avoid.
