Hype Backlash: In many Interactive Fiction circles it is hyped as one of the best Interactive Fiction games of all time. However, the linearity of much of the early parts of the game often puts people off.
Nightmare Fuel: Going into the interrogation room when in a flashback is pretty unsettling, as the protagonist's awareness of the real world will start leaking in. Sitting in the chair will cause the protagonist to hallucinate the interrogator across the table, and become convinced that they are strapped down. As a kicker, saying yes when he asks if you were really there will get you killed, as the interrogator realizes that you must have been tampering with the room somehow and expected to be captured.
Slow-Paced Beginning: This game has gotten some criticism for being unable to hook players in at the start.
