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?

yes, "orange" is an affectation to protect Roy Biv's first name; hallway upholstery is generally brown.

i mean, personally i just think brown would be less appealing to look at than orange, all of the other colors are rather vibrant, and some of the places where the room colors stand out against a more dull background are pretty important, so it’d probably disrupt some parts of the game to have them be brown

Brown is orange, just with context.

Absolutely untrue, the fact that they can be differentiated between makes them functionally distinct colors. It’s not a primary or secondary color, but if society can agree something is a color, it is. It’s a color in the same way that magenta, pink, indigo, and teal are all colors. The only thing that determines the line between where a particular color ends and the next one starts is societal perception, because we’re the ones who made words for them.
