I enjoyed the first half of the game much more than the second. The deductions you needed to make in the first half are very fair, only at times requiring a little bit of intuition to guess right. To me, the second half of the game just doesn't give the player any indication as to what they are supposed to be doing, which gets frustrating. I would assume in this type of investigation game I would have access to at least some clues to base my deductions on, rather than just searching blindly in hopes that I will find something that progresses the game. (Or maybe I was just dumb and didn't see some obvious stuff. In that case, sorry.)

There are some clues, but a lot of them are quite obscure or you were specifically told something else to throw you off the right path.
