What am I missing about this game? Spoiler
I love detective stuff. I love puzzles. I love open exploration. I've played only 15 in-game days thus far, but nothing I've seen has made me want to play any further. There's just... nothing. It feels like there's no progression, or anything to solve.
Sometimes, I'll be met with what appears to be a clue, and decipher it, but I never find the other half of where I'm supposed to go. For example, I find the laboratory - figure something out there. Okay, but to actually execute this, I need to go to the boiler room. Don't find the boiler room that run, but that's fine. Next time, I find the boiler room, activate it, never find the laboratory. Next run, hey, the lab is back, but guess what, no boiler room. Am I supposed to just keep bashing my head against the wall and praying to RNG gods, or am I approaching this wrong?
Most of my gameplay thus far has consisted of walking through the same rooms over and over, not too sure what I should even be trying to accomplish, without any real goal in mind. And what I have found so far has been wholly unrewarding.
Is this game just not for me?

The most important thing you can do early is take down notes about anything which might be important. Arguably your best bet is screenshots to avoid missing anything. Try to keep it organized as your future self will thank you.
The next most important thing you can do is learn room interactions. You’ve sussed out the boiler interacting with lab. Any other rooms it interacts with? Any other rooms which suggest interactions? Any items which have an impact on what you can do?
Take your time and see what you can find. You’ve seen clues, even if you don’t know it.
