The grinding mechanic in the game is described as repetitive and tedious, which may not appeal to all players. It involves directing a gemstone's face to grind it along a specific line, with a tool that allows for speed adjustments during the process.
“Definitely not going to be for everyone with how repetitive and both literally and metaphorically grindy it is, but hey, that's how it goes sometimes.”
“The 'gem' icon tool lets you slow down the speed of grinding your gem on the grindstone.”
