The story is criticized for its unintuitive mission objectives and a bizarre, incomprehensible narrative that centers on a father-son relationship reminiscent of the Oedipus complex. Players find the plot alien and confusing, compounded by the game's brevity, featuring only four short story missions and additional survival arenas.
“To make things even worse, the story revolves around a father-son relationship that is strangely reminiscent of Freud's Oedipus complex.”
“The story is a little incomprehensible; I have no idea what the original language is (Russian?), and the events of the game seem bizarre and alien.”
“I also forgot to initially mention how ridiculously short this is, with four ridiculously short story missions and then four survival arenas.”
