Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and frustrating, particularly noting a slow and pointless back-and-forth traversal around the lake that detracts from the overall experience.
“The scene at the lake felt tedious and pointless - walking extremely slowly around the perimeter of the lake to look at a charred corpse, only to navigate extremely slowly back to the starting point?”
“Grinding in this game is a chore; it feels like I'm just repeating the same actions over and over without any real reward.”
“The endless back-and-forth just to level up is exhausting and takes away from the enjoyment of the game.”

The story restricts player interaction with the phone until a specific point, creating a structured narrative progression that may enhance suspense but limits player agency early on.
“You cannot interact with the phone until the designated time in the story.”
