| THE STORY "When modern medicine can't stop a deadly epidemic that's sweeping the city of Calli, authorities decide the only hope for survival is the legendary green pearl - a gem believed to have magical healing powers. But the whereabouts of the pearl are as mysterious as the gem itself and the journey to retrieve it would take an expedition into treacherous uncharted land. Only one man, Captain Lamat, is fit for such a risky, yet critical, mission. It's up to him and a highly trained, uniquely skilled crew of four to find the pearl and bring it home. After a successful search, the team loads its precious cargo and departs for Calli. But shortly after takeoff, a strange force sends the ship and its crew crashing into an enormous tower in the Forbidden Zone. Now, the pearl is gone, the ship is severely damaged and - despite the fact that no life forms are supposed to live on this part of the planet - something creepy is lurking outside the ship." "One of the crew must leave the ship to find the pearl while the others make repairs, and you're the lucky "volunteer." You see, the people of Calli aren't the only ones who covet the power of the green pearl. A legion of horrible mutants waits just outside your vessel, ready to put a gruesome end to your mission and call the sacred gem their own."
O.D.T. is a new 3D action-adventure from Psygnosis. As one of four player/characters you venture alone into a Forbidden Zone, the most dangerous part of your planet, to explore and find a way to reactivate your grounded craft and save your people from death and destruction. The game's focus is its relentless action, including hand-to-hand combat, weapon power and the strategic use of magic spells, but exploration of the vast, interactive game world and puzzle solving are also key elements. From a 3rd person perspective, you take on the persona of one of Captain Lamat's crew members: (corporal), a military trained weapons expert; (female lead), a cunning, fast and a lethal fighter; (strong man), a loner with incredible strength and endurance; and (wizard/doctor), a strange and powerfully magic healer. Each crew member's weapon use, physical attributes, special moves and magical abilities vary and will affect how he or she performs. As the game progresses, characters gain experience and their skills improve.
