i would suggest a "hint" mechanic for those who are here for the story not googling stuff.
Amen to that.Monique is great. Best girl in this game.
#SaveMoniqueFromTheSandbox
Yes! it is the only way but does the dev care? I'd love to know the mad reasoning why free roam was introduced in the first place, how to kill your game in one swift strokeRemake in VN???
I think that would be the best way to save this game.
well its known that devs put sandbox crap to make their games seem longer. 80 images, thats what, 4 scenes, 3-4 min of playing (if it was VN) i guess this is just one more confirmation.v004 to v005 images folder comparison:
1850 to 1931
81 new images added
I'm guessing that from v003 to v004 was something similar?
i was gonna say that its getting annoying reading "boo sandbox" but there is that small part of me that hopes that his audience is annoying enough and he will eventually cave in. (lewlab for reference)The thing is, the dev has stated that the sandbox is necessary for the gameplay he intends the game to be. I don't know what it is, but he's adamant about keeping the sandbox element, so it's rather pointless to keep asking about switching back to normal VN, it's quite clear that that's not gonna happen, the dev has his vision and plans to stick to it, so that's it.
A clear walkthrough usually helps navigating to all the scenes/events though, and we do have a walkthrough, it's just not updated to current version. Apart from that just possible bugs should be a mild annoyance to players.
Even though I prefer normal VNs, as long as sandbox VNs have a WT or task system implemented, you won't hear me complaining

That is the issue with all sand box games that is a work in progress. Lack of content. So the sand box become better the further you get on with the development. I don't really find VN's that add 5 mins of content every 1-2 months any better tbh.Worst part is that the characters are great and the story is decent, he has all these great pieces to make a good VN, but instead we have a sandbox without enough side-events to justify it being one. Aside from some half-implemented sleep groping, everything could fit into a traditional VN.
Sounds like you found this game kinda late. People have walked away, just a few pages of replies after the update dropped says it all. This is a miniscule response compared to the previous updates. People aren't even bothering anymore. It's one of those things where people catch wise. Like when a game company changes their games to better fit gambling mechanics in there. It's not really "creative" decision, people start to see it and bail. Same thing here, the guy switched formats so he could do less each month, it's very transparent.If you don't like something then walk away.
