Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, as easy puzzles require excessive back-and-forth movements and poorly placed reset buttons. This leads to a feeling of the game being more of a chore than an engaging experience.
- “The game felt more like a chore as the puzzles were pretty easy, but in order to complete them, you had to go through a lot of tedious movements and motions.”
- “There is a Simon-like game which often marks valid answers as invalid (I know for sure because it often happened on the first cube that lit up). Reset buttons for rooms (Simon game, lighted cube puzzle, sound puzzle) were far from the actual puzzle, making it a tedious task to go back and forth.”
