Love it, but I absolutely suck at it. Car keys, garage, circuit breaker, once I get one I can’t get the other two. Have never been to the antechamber. I feel like I’m barely scratching the surface. Figured out the paintings but not the chess pieces.

I JUST FIGURED OUT THE PAINTINGS
I think I have actually progressed moderately far with the game, but to keep my sanity I've been sort of taking notes on some things and moving on from them planning to figure them out later, and I swear to God I thought it was an anagram. I've been just doing notes on it, and today I decided to actually try to tackle it, and I'm pretty sure I realized now what it is. My jaw literally dropped when I realized it.
THIS IS SO MUCH SIMPLER LOL
I would invest in a cheap scratch pad. The kind with pages held together by that rubbery glue stuff. And a 10-pack of Bic or otherwise "cheap, but decent" pens. And write stuff down.
One thing I can tell you is the chess pieces (spoiler tier 1)

don't really matter in each run
(spoiler tier 2)

They matter in one run
(spoiler tier 3)

They matter if you unlock a certain room that has a chess puzzle in it
(spoiler tier solution)

You will need to know where certain chess pieces are that day in order to solve the puzzle. The pieces are assigned to a room, not a grid location. A room with a pawn will always have a pawn, and you should know where on the 9x5 grid that pawn is.
That said, I haven't gotten far enough to do the chess puzzle yet. I've just, um, heard things.
Ha, yeah, I am happy with my progression, I don't plan to look at hints. I sorted out the chess pieces (or at least one level of them, IDK if there is something additional planned in the future but I made it to the place where you can use them to solve one puzzle).
I have a notebook which I'm taking notes on. It is 100% essential, I can't imagine making progress in the game without it. I'm also being very very liberal with screenshots (good for taking a look at something that I don't really understand and putting it on the back burner for later digging into). I think I have a couple hundred screenshots of various things at this point which I commonly go back and reference, a lot of times I'll have a screenshot on one monitor while I'm playing the game on the second monitor.
Yeah, it's a good idea. IDK, it would be tough to avoid spoilers... of course we could also start a tradition of talking nonsense to confuse with erroneous spoilers.
"You haven't got the karaoke machine? I figured out the karaoke a long time before the paintings, IDK how you progressed without it..."
I thought it was more of puzzle-adventure. I am not into puzzle games, but I've heard lots of good things about Blue Prince (including the creepy atmosphere).
It is. It has nothing of horror (I mean, as far as I know), it's just a beast of a puzzle game, but the atmosphere is for some reason just very very unsettling.
There's also a darkroom in it with photos of people with blurred faces. GET ME THE FUCK OUT, I NEED AN ADULT PLEASE HELP
The game that rewards solving puzzles with more puzzles.
Such a cool game
Yeah, I'm loving it so far. I have been disappointed by a couple of games which attempted this genre (your "7th Guest"s and your "Myst"s) but just didn't have the gumption to give more challenge than just wandering around and going through some sort of trivial semi-puzzle. Blue Prince seems like it strikes a really good balance between dropping hints so you're not totally lost, and giving a sense of progression so people don't get discouraged, but also not being afraid to give a meaty challenge.
