The pros : you don't need to establish a watch in your group; if the game involves some sort of rage points, you are sure to get one in the morning; the character is probably very skilled on several sorts of medications.

I still need to continue the Ghost at St. James' Street after getting some clarifications from the designer on his Discord channel.
I played with 2 PCs, not true solo mainly for synergy in the game. I had The Vessel and The Undeniable.
I think the game does give enough clues and hints about what to do so I just need to collect the clues. Trying very hard to not look at the character sheet and do more role playing, only rolling when the outcome of an encounter carries consequences or if there's a chance of failure.
Challenging: Just my general unfamiliarity with the system. It's not like a regular RPG but more like a Blades in the Dark system which I'm slightly familiar with.
How was your experience with the game?

How did you find playing this game in solo mode?
Did you juggle multiple characters, create one main character with NPCs to fill out the party, or stick with just a single investigator?
And what did you find most challenging about running it solo?

Side note: I just checked Counterspell in the 2024 rules edition. They made it worse. It is now a CON save to avoid the effects of Counterspell. And there is no provision anymore that makes it harder to counter a high-level spell than a low-level spell. Since magic users tend to have low CON, Counterspell got a lot more effective, and magic users can say "goodbye" to their high-level spell slots when confronting a high-level enemy mage. They did not change the Warcaster feat to help out with the save (good thing, probably, otherwise magic users would be more or less forced to take that feat). I probably would simply have changed it into "you counter any spell that is of the same level or lower than the level of the slot you used to cast counter with, and otherwise the counter fails." Or rather, I would just have removed it.
