So the old version which judging from the screenshots looks better and has more content has just disappeared? I couldn't find it on his patreon either. I would have also prefered the sandbox style of gameplay I enjoy having that little extra bit of agency. I downloaded and spent the past 30 minutes playing this because of the screenshots, the incest and sandbox style only to have my time wasted...
EDITL: If you look at the reviews the sandbox playstyle is not the issue here but, rather the way the sanbox has been implemented. I think the dev interpreted the feedback incorrectly and his game will suffer for it. This VN style had way to many choices in order to pick up relation points in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I like choices but, I don't like having to navigate a maze of choices in order to feel like I'm making the right decision for how I want to play. I'd also be happy to provide solutions to the problems with how they have implemented the sandbox but, I can't play the original game anymore...
