Perfect timing as I have fallen in love with noir cinema and stories lately.

Doesn't that have additional DRM...i mean besides steam.

Well, it makes you sign into the Rockstar Social Club, but that is all I am aware of.

I speak as one who has destroyed himself a score of times.  I am, Mr. Engle, a veteran corpse. We are all corpses here! This rendezvous is one of the musical graveyards of the town.

About This Game
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 ...
FEATURES:

    The combination of adventure, RPG and strategy elements gives the game a uniquely original feel
    The best of three genres: (1) exploration and interaction with a challenging world (2) character development and (3) challenging high-level tactical combat.
    A thrilling Sci-Fi story with enthralling dialogs
    An easy-to-learn, intuitive, multi-faceted user interface
    A spooky soundtrack lends each location a special atmosphere
    Fully 3-dimensional real-time rendered characters with flexible skeleton animation and detailed textures
    A life-like environment with impressive 3D weather effects
    Spectacular 3D effects for weapons, including transparencies, particle-based explosions, colored lighting, texture and vertex animations

Picked up Shadowrun: Dragonfall Director's Cut yesterday for $5 on Steam - ka-ching chummer!

Gorky 17 sounds interesting, but be warned (and this was from a positive Steam reviewer):

QuoteSome of the advertised features are little strange, like the "multiple-choice dialog", there was not a single dialog where you could choose anything, I think there was totally only about 30 lines of dialog in the whole game, so that about the "enthralling dialog". [...] The skills you can train are mostly useless, I think that only luck and HP were useful enough to put points in. [...] Be warned, it might not work on newer machines. I got it running on my old laptop (WIN7) but it didn't even start on my new desktop setup (with Win7 also), always crashed on the start. Even on my laptop it still crashed sometimes in battles, it has really bad bug in the second last fight, where it would crash every time I killed the last monster in the battle, and the only way around it was skipping that battle with cheat-code.

It sounds like it didn't translate well.  ;)

Comments about crashes from a single reviewer, however sincere, don't hold much water.  Now if the forum was flooded with people complaining about crashes, that would be a different matter.  Besides, he did say it works on his laptop running Win7 but not his desktop running Win7?  Sounds like a hardware compatibility problem.

Struck out the possibly anomalous crash issue, left in the other complaints.
