This is Rat Hunter, the most buggy metal crap you will ever witness. You play as BUTCH GRID, a man who infiltrates some planet as a "Rat Hunter" in order to get rich off a gene mutation outbreak. At least, that's as much as I could gather from the PS1 JRPG-quality English translation and voice acting. Rat Hunter is so shitty and unknown, not even MarphitimusBlackimus covered it in his old "Obscure First Person Shooters" series. It's a shame, too, as this is probably one of the most unintentionally hilarious games ever made. Even the synopsis on Gamersgate is funny because the publisher outright admits that Rat Hunter is just derivative crap. Plus, the gameplay isn't actually that bad for Slavclunk standards since it's essentially Unreal II meets F.E.A.R. 1 with Painkiller's Demon mode.
Even though Rat Hunter is a zero-budget Russian game that came out the same year as the original Prey, it bizarrely has full support for hardware-accelerated soundcards. That means it's possible to enable HRTF in this janky mess through DSOAL and OpenAL Soft. It's kind of depressing to think that a game as obscure and terrible as this one is still has better sound quality than modern AAA game titles do.
Expect a full English version playthrough of this hidden gem...SOON!
