Now, even though i can't really say pixel-hunt is the major problem with DN (the cursor is pretty big, and the game cunningly lights some clues with the strike of lightning) but that was exactly my biggest problem, since i've missed one critical area -
Spoiler:
cabin at Milka.
Yup, I almost missed that too. I'm really not dealing good with dark areas

Carlotta's note to appear in your office (i've found out that it's going to the back alley in Pier 5).
I had a similar problem
Spoiler:
I couldn't get Nobby to give me the location of Pseudopolis Yard, so I had to go back to saved game a couple of times, and talk to him for about 5 times until the location finally showed up on the map.

I used those a lot, too. It's really easier getting around with them

... getting to talk to Sapphire. I somehow had the notion that she has to go to her wardrobe before Lewton can speak with her, but she never seemed to be willing to leave the stage . So, I kept leaving Octarine Parrot, hoping that Sapphire will eventually retire to her premises and she never did. At the end I stayed a little longer in a bar and - what do you know! - Sapphire stoped singing and was ready for the interrogation.
Beside this, I had no bigger problems to reach the end of Act 1.
You really waited for her to go to the wardrobe? Name:  giggle.gif

Completely agree with you here Name:  nod.gif
