Does the game ever open up or is this just a disguised kinetic novel? It has the sandbox tag, but I'm on day 10 or 11 and have yet to get the freedom to make story altering choices on anything, things just happen and you have to do events with no ability to skip them or attend other events. On the few occasions I've seen so far where I am given options there seems to be no altered outcome other than some minor flavor text.
