Hi Ian. Have you checked out The Between? Given the questions you're wrestling with re: how to do open-ended mysteries, I believe it could be highly relevant -- either as a way to kick the tires on your own mechanics, or as inspiration. You can find it on Drivethru here as PWYW: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/360858/the-between-preview-edition
This may be on my mind because earlier today, I saw the host of The Bad Spot podcast make an incredible case for The Between, emphasizing how open-ended the mysteries were: https://youtu.be/DNFJEQDU4Pk?si=po4C5_l1JBc2wx3B
