I haven't played many games in the genre (always open to suggestions as I absolutely love it) but one thing that really helped me is taking notes on the side.

For every case I had a document on my other screen where I wrote everything that came to my mind. Whether it's questions to answer, or overall notes about important characters in the case. Sometimes I just reread my notes and understood some points by making 1 + 1. There are some situations where the game will not give you the exact answer BUT you still have all the information you need, you just need to connect the dots on your own. Sometimes you will make mistakes, but overall I thought it made sense.

So yeah, if you struggled a lot with case one, just take a step back, take notes, and ask yourself some questions instead of just straight up trying to answer the EXAM QUESTIONS. The Exam Questions answers more often than not will either come naturally OR will come over time as you take notes.

It is definitely a tough game, but I'd argue Painscreek is more difficult since it covers an entire world. I'd also argue some of the puzzles in Obra Dinn are trickier than piecing together the environmental details.. but it's great and very tough. Looking forward to doing the final case soon.

Obra Dinn is definitely up there in terms of "hardest", but it's mainly because it asks the same question every time and leaves it up to you to deduce things. Most gotchas in the game have several good logical lines that just ask you to recognize certain things. It is very good about telling you when you can deduce someone's identity by unfuzzing their face, and it includes a difficulty rating system. I would give anything to re-experience Obra Dinn totally blind.
