This game is a game that has very serious potential, but so much of it gets squandered away needlessly.
The game does have some redeeming qualities. The renders are nice, the story is somewhat original, the english is good enough to read, and there is a fair amount of choices.
That being said the game is not living up to it's potential.
I think the game has been alienating it's potential fanbase based on 3 major things.
1) Shifting from Visual Novel to Sandbox & the sandbox being broken with no hint system.
NEVER has a visual novel been made more enjoyable for the player by making it into a sandbox. Not once ever in the history of adult games. A visual novel can put you on the rails and get you from A to B in a much more efficient effective and less tedious way. The concept of "Free Roam" is garbage because the cage you are put in will inevitably be full of emptiness and banality.
The ONLY type of adult game that could possibly benefit from having a "Sandbox" feature is a "Trainer" type game. Visual Novels are destroyed by the sandbox function as it's often executed poorly. Even a more popular game with a fully functional sandbox element that works correctly like "Being A Dik" would be better as a raw visual novel without the sandbox elements included. Being a Dik is popular in spite of it's sand box features not because of them.
2) Unavoidable NTR
Seriously? NTR is like the most controversial kink by far. To add it brings some controversy and to add it as an unavoidable thing brings the rage. You shouldn't build a game as non ntr then add unavoidable NTR later on for shits and giggles.
3) Walkthrough Needed
If you want to play this without a walkthrough... I got two words for you. "Good Luck"
