I wish they'd explained better about the time system and what causes it to move on, though.
Yeah it's a bit harsh sometimes in that regard (and other regards), but I think the game wants it to feel like a struggle. I will say that the "investigate" symbols on the map usually move time forward,so pick carefully.
If seeing lots of stuff is important to you, talk to everyone who doesn't have the investigation symbol on the map before you make your choice, as sometimes the optional dialogue can give you "things that will be remembered" which can help (or most likely hinder) things later on, etc etc.
That said, try not to worry too much. I think the game wants you to feel like Andrea's at this moment - stressed, in over your head and too much to do in the time limit.
