honest question:
Just saying: a sandbox where you NEED a walkthrough is EXACTLY that kind of sandbox we player complain about.
Sandbox games are hard to make the right way and definitively NOTHING for new developers for their first game at all.
(just my humble opinion)
You are mistaken. I didn't said that a walkthrough is needed. I seed that there will be one.
I am the first that hates to have to look at a text file in search for information to search for scenes.
There will be hints, and they will not be like "Char likes to read", they will be "Buy a fucking book and gift it to char".

Just..... NO. I was Reading a Visual Novel with a option to take the story into a direction here and there.
Not a game by a long shot.

As far as your sandbox is great comment : Fuck no. Don't think i need to elaborate further on that to get my opinion on sandbox games/vn's across.

+ i am not the only one that says Fuck No to sandbox. the watch and follow went from 300+k to 214 k with 1 added tag.
Now depending on how the sandbox get done, really light almost non existent sandbox it might stay there. Grindfest galore however and that number will keep dropping.
You're really stretching correlation = causation. The most popular games on this site are sandbox, so inferring that adding the sandbox tag is what caused the watch count to drop only makes sense if you're looking for evidence that supports your bias. It's much more likely that a bunch of people put this on watch 6 months ago, saw that there was finally an update, realized that no new content had been added over that 6 month span, and unwatched it because that usually means the game isn't worth watching.

Simple patch to make it so that, if family relationships are turned on, you call Elizabeth by her role rather than her name. It might have some messed up dialogue if someone unrelated mentions both your name and hers, they might call her by her role too, I haven't played far enough to see if that's the case.

Is funny how everyone get mad cause 1.1.1 adds nothing more to the story than 1.0, when the 1.1.1 version is a supporter only update and, where we published it, we stated CLEARLY that this update adds a lot only in terms of code and foundation, and has nothing more to the story.
Im not in the discord, and im not mad about it. Im still looking forward to the actual free release of the official V1 rather than a demo

Version 1.1.1 ????? It's more like a 0.1 (introduction). Basically for those who are interested, there is nothing to see for the moment. Just the presentation of the characters. But it looks promising.

Literally the top 4 most liked games on this entire site are sandbox. Sandbox haters are a vocal minority.

I'm not thrilled with how the versioning is being presented, especially considering the size of the download is 874MB, which leads one to assume that there is a decent amount of content. This should probably be less than v1.1.1, maybe something more like v0.3 or v0.5... However I think this game shows a decent amount of potential and I shouldn't complain too much since I'm getting it for free.

Anywho, looking forward to more content, because I think it will be great. Keep up the solid work.

I really hope this doesn't become another dead game in the sea of dead games that is the porn VN world.

Loli tag. OK. So this is an illegal game.
Incest tag. Eh.
There are no sex tags whatsoever. Meaning there cannot possibly be incest in this game, since incest requires the presence of sexual activity.

That said...

VERSION 1.1.1??? That is the first bugfix of the first patch of a COMPLETED project.

It's so big 'cause all the images are still .png. When there will it be needed, we will convert them all to .jpg.
