We've created a Linux Wine port of the game. Given this is an old title and we cannot change the executable, there are a few issueslimitations:
1) Steam overlay doesn't work for some users
2) The game runs only in 640x480 resolution using Software Renderer
3) Alt+Tab might produce undesired behaviours for example, freezes the game
4) When launching, in the main menu, the mouse can go outside the game's window (it's like the game is running in window-mode) and can navigate through the desktop. When start moving between the menu options, the issue disappears
The game was tested on Ubuntu 15.10, SteamOS and Arch Linux. If you encounter any problems (different that those mentioned above) please attach the log file - G17.log.tx (located in game folder) - as well as a short description. Thank you!
The Mac OSX version is also updated and should run with el Capitan now. On some systems with Intel graphic chipsets the screen appears too bright. In this case, please set the gamma value down in the Graphic Options menu.

November 2008. NATO intelligence services report that, for reasons unknown, 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. A team of three NATO specialists under the leadership of the Canadian Cole Sullivan is sent in to examine the horrifying events on the ground.
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. A host of multiple-choice dialog scenes present you with constant choices - many of which can have some unpredictable effects ...
