I love puzzle games but this one is harder than usual

[Silentkay]

I'm enjoying the game but a lot of the puzzles I find to be difficult to the point I almost give up. It might just be my brain but it seems a lot of them are more on a mathematical/engineering perspective and I am terrible at numbers.

I am not generally terrible at numbers but I agree that some of them are fairly hard. The pipe/gear ones in fact start to make logical sense once you've done a few, but a couple of the sewing ones took me quite a few restarts.

I'd personally say though that the biggest problem is that there's too many of both types (also by the way of the later eye/lightbeam ones, but those are at least easy to the point of being solved by just clicking around a few times until it works -- even if they are due to same also uninteresting.)

The pipe/gear and to lesser degree sewing ones started to actively annoy me to the point of not wanting to invest more effort; I a few times quit out of the game to go do something else for a bit upon again seeing one present itself. The water pouring ones in chapter 5 are I feel more enjoyable due to being integrated in the actual game world, but even of those 5 I could've done with 1 or 2 fewer. Rest of the one-off puzzles are fine, and I feel these would also have been, had there just not been too many of them.

Still, enjoyable game...

I enjoyed the difficulty of the puzzles and mastered them without help.
But if you really need it, look at the guides. There are several "Walkthrough"-guides.
Don´t give up. The later game is really... good.
