I don't know what happened with this game... did they change devs? And the new one said to himself: "You know all those shitty Sandbox-games? Let's make it even WORSE!"
When you start, there is story. Progress. You actually get to see things as if someone thought this through. But at some point you get thrown in this sadbox-mode without ANY form of guidance. You have to check EVERY location, EVERY room of EVERY House, just to see if there may be an event ready. And then don't forget to talk to EVERY character, to see if they have any new lines.
And there is no consistency. I saw one of the girls in her room, playing with her phone. She didn't want to talk. So I keep checking rooms and suddenly find the same girl in the pool waiting to start an event. So even if you checked on all the Characters, you STILL have to check everything else to be sure... And of course you have to do this four times per day (Morning, Afternoon, Evening and Night).
Then you have to simply remember all kinds of crap. Train Monday mornings, Wednesday Afternoons and Friday mornings. Check on the Maid on Thursday afternoon. Meet the neighbor on Saturday afternoon. Meet the bimbo on the beach on Sunday Afternoon. Sarah uses the Sauna sometimes...this is exhausting!
And then you need money for specific events. So don't blow those 100$ you start with on the hooker. But wait... didn't the beachbar-guy say something about a job before this horrible Sandbox-crap started? Well better ask him three times a day for a week, hoping he'll remember. Spoiler: he doesn't. Apparently when your money is gone, it's gone. So no more progress with the girls because you can't afford to go shopping with all of them or buy drugs for the russian.
The only silverlining for this dame are the visuals. They are really good. The renders and animations are quite the eye-candy. If it werent for this, I would have rated it with a single star.
