grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mix of frustration and enjoyment, as the character Granny often feels more like a tedious obstacle than a thrilling challenge. Her unpredictable behavior and slow movement can lead to repetitive and annoying gameplay, but many still recommend giving the game a few tries for its overall charm.
- “Good but annoying... At the start of the game, you have a good chance of Granny being at the very first door just waiting to whack you over the head before you can run or do anything. Also, she takes a million years to leave a room that you're hiding in, but yet she turns into Usain Bolt when you make a noise and almost instantly appears before you, ready to whack you into the next day. These things make the game tedious and annoying, but I still recommend playing it at least a couple of times.”
- “They did an amazing job building a puzzle house to explore, but I don't find Granny to be that scary and see her merely as a perpetually tedious obstacle, rather than an element of fun.”
