PnC adventures with challenging (but fair) puzzles

Basically, the thread title says it all. I woke up today having this idea to test if I'm actually any good in playing adventure games, so I'm looking for some recommendations for a test subject. Four conditions:
- It should be (primarily) a PnC game - not a pure puzzler.
- Puzzles should be hard but fair - i.e. not rely on pixel-hunting or pure guesswork in the absence of clues.
- It shouldn't have any dead end/walking dead scenarios (bad endings are fine though).
- Ideally, it should be reasonably nonlinear.

If you want to feel good about yourself you can always check out Dracula: Origin. It's honestly on the lower-medium end of the quality spectrum, but also relatively easy and puzzles are strictly on the logical side from what I remember. Only annoying part I remember was piecing together some clues on the map.

Probably something to get around to once you've exhaused all good recommendations, though.
