From Steam reviews

Review notes

Take Notes is worth a closer look if you want narrative mystery, emotional story, replayable, and short game.

Best for players who want emotional story, narrative mystery, and replayable.

narrative-mystery

Play style

A useful part of the game is piecing together mystery and story threads.

emotional-story

Tone

The story is framed as affecting rather than just plot-heavy.

replayable

Fit

The structure gives reasons to return rather than finish once.

short-game

Pacing

It is better understood as a compact experience than a long hobby game.

Steam review snapshots

some repackaged classics, some mechanical, some with clues to find, and some with symbol interpretation.
Narrative Mystery
The intention was for me to find the rest of the clue (in the next room) before moving forward.
Emotional Story
The replay value is modest as well—once you have solved all forty puzzles, there is little incentive to return beyond the satisfaction…
Replayable

Why it fits

Check it if you want indie filtered by puzzle, no combat, single-player.
