I can't say I commiserate, as I was hooked at the very first flashback.
> Scene is black, you hear "Come out, so Johnny and I can flay your bones" / "Get out of -- *BANG!*"
> Scene reveals, man is frozen in time, his body still in motion though he is clearly dead.
> A half-dressed man stands inside the ship's main cabin, gunpowder still billowing from his pistol.

Who killed whom with what, and where?
> KILLER: What? I have no idea!. Why would I know?! I know literally nothing, why would I ... Oh, hang on, this is the Captain's cabin! Nobody but the captain would be half-dressed in the captain's cabin so... he must be... the captain! Ha!

I'll hm... have to figure out how to write down "some unknown guy wearing pointy-toed boots and another guy with a scar on his shoulder were on the deck at 4pm, and one of them died to the captain's pistol, and uh... one of them is named johnny" hm...

If you like, say... Myst-like games that blend puzzles and attention to detail with good storytelling, you'd like this game.
It and Outer Wilds are probably my two most-recommended games.
