It's half the first strand type game (as dr. Jekyll) and half a shmup (as Hyde).

Honestly not as bad as I remembered. The first time I played it I just made fun of the game with my best friend. Even if we knew the mechanics from yt videos we just sucked at it.

Now I made it pretty far, but the game throws so much shit at you it's like a bullet hell, so I just quit.

Some times the screen is filled with literal shit, bombs, spiders, and the worst enemy: women running at you. Other times it's a walking simulator.

I can see why it's not well received but it's definitely not one of the worst games of all time. Maybe it's one of the most misunderstood games of all time. It can be hard and frustrating but I like the dynamic of trying to get as far as you can before turning into Hyde, then if you kill enough monsters as Hyde you return where you were with (mostly) full health. There's infinite continues too from what I played. Maybe I'll come back to finish it one day.
