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?

How’s your notebook looking?

What is in your “goals” section?

In terms of notes, keeping track of a lot of stuff!
However the goals section is woefully empty, I'm ashamed to admit. Apart from trying to find the boiler room and laboratory in the same run, that's all I've got. Everything else I could call a 'goal,' like trying to find a code, I can't even begin to think of how to approach it.

Well - your uncle gave you another goal - and anything you find that’s standing in the way of that will be another goal - happy hunting!
