I quit another game because it had an annoying quiz that went on too long and the game wouldn't let you continue without "Passing it." I'm not at a similar point with this. Combat can be very, very annoying. I'm at the point with the fight at night in the house. The first half went way too long, maybe 20 rounds before Sophie showed up with the bat. I'm now much further past that with the f'ing spider. If the three buttons were always the same for the three directions of attack, it would be bad enough; but it's not. I'm fed up with this and it's annoying block in the game.
How do I get past it?
