I can't tell you how much I _loved_ that accents from the voice actors were a part of it. It was the first time I truly felt like a _detective_ in a video game, stuck piecing together whatever I could from a painstaking analysis of the details in front of me.

That being said, I got stuck and brute forced my way to one or two solves, only to find out at the very end (talking to a friend who completed it) that I had missed a crucial and very helpful detail. Made it obvious that's why I was stuck trying to brute force, which was deeply unpleasant by design: the triple-match made that very tricky and only once I got the search set down a lot.

There were some I found really hard, and required a lot of backtracking, ie watching "other" scenes but picking up who was there in the background and such.

I might have had a couple of lets say educated guesses, but the rest was hard work piecing together details.

Easily one of my favorite games ever, and I've been playing for almost 40 year now.
