RE: Should Soma be more like Penumbra or The Walking Dead?

I definitely don't want too many puzzles as I feel like they take you out of the immersion. But, what would be a good use of puzzles (IMO) is if the enemy is chasing after you, and you have a puzzle a front of you and you have to solve it in order to get pass and get away from the enemy. I feel like that would really increase the tension and make the player panic knowing that the enemy is somewhere behind them and not knowing when it will strike, so they have to frantically try to solve the puzzle. Much better compared to having infinite amount of time trying to solve a puzzle.
