Big time fails to be entertaining, also not bald enough

Game’s very wack.
I tried playing it years ago when I first bought it, but ended up uninstalling it after 3 hours playtime because of some dumb combinations of items you could have never guessed, and the game does never give any hints about them.
Decided to give it a second shot knowing that several things are not intuitive at all. I played it for 5 more hours and I was forced to look up videos for solutions at least three more times, until I got annoyed and said ♥♥♥♥ off to this. I was hoping that later on the game would have been more enjoyable, but to proceed you keep having to do things that make no sense, and it all just results in a random af experience.
You need to get an item inside of a manhole? Just find a shoelace, combine it with a licorice roll to make it longer, then find a random stray dog chewing on a bone, give the dog something else to chew on to get the bone and put it at the end of the shoelace to stick it on the item in the manhole and pull it up.
Even a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ would come up with a better design.
