It seems like a lot of scares could be avoided if Erika just learned to kick in doors. She'd have sent the cat kid loving flying.

Because you get a Game Over if your batteries run out.

Which is what helps make the game so utterly poo poo, since you're restricted to a ponderously slow pace and have a hard time limit to complete a level.

What do you actually do during this game? Collect batteries and keep moving forward? I don't understand.

It looks like you do have to collect items to unlock stuff, like getting the power thingy to plug into the fusebox. The challenge is getting there when you can't see poo poo and move at a snail's pace.

So the game does basically nothing to explain what the plot of Ju-On: The Grudge actually is.

Kayako, her son Toshio, and their cat were murdered by her husband after he found out she was cheating on him. Japanese culture has a concept of murdered souls coming back as vengeful spirits, and Kayako and Toshio returned to kill their murderer and everyone who gives them reason to. Anyone who enters their former home in Tokyo and those they're close to are marked for death by the ghosts, and the place they kill their victims in also becomes a no-go zone for anyone who wants to stay living. The video game is just the story of the latest victims: the family who moved into the death house.
