To be fair to the dev, I haven't tested this game yet(but I've downloaded it). Almost all sandbox games on first releases are a bit boring in the world, it's because they haven't been built with all the interactivity and such yet.
I do have a question though which I may have answer once it's downloaded and I start anyways the manage your time effectively, does it mean there's anything missable if you're too slow at something? Or just like most sandboxes where you can do everything just at your pace?
Edited after playing:
I don't have time to finish this version until later but I have a few things to comment on.
I actually quite like it so far. I completed (according to the book) all events but Gracie's. (which I have a question on later here.)
Can't say I've done any of the side story stuff I'm guessing cause at the time they didn't like me much when I stumbled on them. But I see what you mean now by the events are repeatable later, it seems the stats or such only apply to the sandbox stuff not the story itself I'm guessing?
I personally don't see much point in the stat system (hygiene/mood/food) right now. Seemed more of a hassle, it prevented me the first week from doing the events for certain girls but maybe that'll change once it's in a full fledge build and system. I'll give it a benefit of a doubt there. As for credits, I see the point of that and I think you could do it without the fitness stat for example. Don't mean to get r id of any area, just don't have a stat tied to them maybe? But either way thats here or there, just my opinion and with or without the stats I'll keep watching future updates.
My major question though is I read the book and it says I need to catch up on paperwork for Gracie like it did for Zoe. Zoe it happened first try. Gracie I've been trying to point I have like 1k money and it hasn't triggered. (Thought maybe it was a specific day or time only? As took me a bit before I found Gracie at library not sure if that was day or time locked too? But I found it within a week time) But I haven't been able to trigger it and from looks of images, it's not a bug. I thought maybe it was an early bug that triggered the same info that Zoe had as it's phrased same way. But it seems there's a lot more like 3 more events related to Gracie (and since most of the events shown aren't the side stuff from what I've seen where I was looking in the files I think its main event? Which makes sense since you have the option to sleep with gracie in your room but she doesn't like you enough yet) If there's no comments on if there's a special trigger, I'm bugged or just unlucky and it's random when it happens. I'll try again tonight when I have time.
Navigation was very confusing at first. Usually you don't hit a back arrow to find a new area when you exit one you're at. When exiting the office I assumed the office was behind me, so fumbled a bit until I could find the gym. If Eva hadn't toured me to the gym or the tip for Emma was at the gym. I may still be wondering where the gym is, dirty and unfit xD But overall once you figure out where everything is. It's not a clumsy implemented just confusing laid out. Something as simple as Hallway A in the corner or something may even make it much more user friendly, or when you click a door to knock it say the girl's door too. As when I had to find gracie and zoe I ended up inside Eva's room first and found two unawsered doors and the spare room all before I found hers xD But again that's all changed when you play a bit you get use to where everything is. Just for a starting player it is a little confusingly laid out.
Overall though I look forward to future updates and I don't find it a boring sandbox, but the stats may get tideous.
edited again derp
forgot about the error, the error is if you call Eva to your office after you've gotten the tour. It has you rollback, no ignore.
"Maybe she didn't hear the bell" and then errors
