I can't be bothered to deal with the puzzles. I could look up a guide, but the way they're designed frustrates me so much that I don't want to.

Any key items you need will glow, that's a helpful feature. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the actual puzzles. Any puzzle locations blends in with the background like a chameleon, forcing you to waste time looking for them.

Then there's the key items and the inventory. This game has a habit of giving you key items before you know what they're used for. The exception to this is the bathtub puzzle; just one glance at it and you already know intuitively what to do. But everything else turns into a pixel hunt, all while carrying every key item you found. The limited inventory space is filled with items that are not needed until much later. I mean, why are we given the key item to access the next area, only to find out you actually need two items? Why not just one?

I'm sorry, I just don't have the patience for this.
