Sandbox = nope. Got my feet wet with sandboxes with the original and that was annoying enough (I didn't even finish it, just made it to right after the MC fucked his sister). I just don't see how shitboxes are supposedly so popular on a site mostly for actual AVNs (where the most complicated thing to deal with is making choices and wondering about the consequences of them later if you don't have a walkthrough). If I want to read while dealing with actual game elements too I just go to Steam and whip out Elden Ring or Final Fantasy or something that's an actual game.
