    Only 6/10 due to 3 puzzles in game which sole purpose was to slowdown progress.
    Also, too much inventory junk which in modern era already is non conventional. Really wish that was fixed - than it's probably 8/10 or even higher.
    Back then that was valid approach, but today just not enjoyable. Specifically, without spoilers: - yes, you actually need to use German to solve one of    Only 6/10 due to 3 puzzles in game which sole purpose was to slowdown progress.

    Specifically, without spoilers:
    - yes, you actually need to use German to solve one of puzzles, even when it's obvious that it's requirement excessive
    - there is nasty pixel hunt in one event, a new object will appear on the table
    - once you will need to read chapter intro text to solve puzzle (seems no other hints available in the game)
    - during one of time attack events you need to use specifically "gears" action while it's obvious that it belongs also to "grab" action in other parts of game
    - during very last game stages important item is used like short-range, but then suddenly it's long-range under time attack events

    General approach: in about half of cases you can figure out solution by simply restarting the day and paying attention; don't forget to save before the day end    … Expand
