Hello, thanks for your comment. I'm glad you've enjoyed what you've seen so far.
This is a long, narrative-driven game with a lot of detail involved and investment of time required, and that might well not be your kind of thing. However, if you're minded to persevere then the HINTS and STUCK should get you through.
STUCK stops short of being a command-by-command walkthrough, but the detail is there. From the STUCK menu, 2. tells you what your objective is in this part of the game, 3. tells you how to procure an item to access inaccessible locations in the house, 4. tells you where to find the vital thing (to accomplish 2) and 5. tells you where to find the subject (of 2). The other thing to do would be to ask for a HINT in the study.
