[edit] Story
The player commands a small group of NATO soldiers who must reveal the mystery behind the sudden appearance of hybrid creatures in a small Polish city named Lubin. The city is being terrorized, the area is surrounded by NATO troops and media from all over the world, and the first group sent into the city disappears without a trace. The main hero of the story is the 40-year old soldier Cole Sullivan, a commando team member with extensive scientific knowledge. His team's task is to explain the hybrids` presence and to find the missing members of Group One. But that, of course, is just the beginning...
[edit] Gameplay
The game features two modes: the real-time 'exploration' mode in which the player controls game characters using a mouse in a point-and-click manner, and the 'combat' mode in which the screen is divided into squares with player and computer-controlled characters taking turns trying to eliminate the opposing party. In one turn each game character can move by a certain number of squares and use a weapon once, or decide to take cover instead. If at any time any of the player-controlled characters is eliminated, the game ends.
[edit] Trivia
Gorky 17 was published in the USA by JoWooD under the title Odium.
