This HAS to be the best and most developed sandbox H game out there. Free Cities tries to come a little close - but the lack of images for me is a little too hard to enjoy. I've been playing this for a few days now - and it does have an initial learning curve, but it is a fun learning curve and thats the most important thing in a sandbox/management type game. There is so much I don't know yet - and thats what fuels my need to play the game.
In an ideal sandbox/management/trainer game - you'd want a good template for the player to play around with - to mold and shape them to their will - which I think they have here. But at the same time, have some preexisting NPCs that you can obtain - maybe after finishing their story or enslaving them or exploiting them in their story itself. This REALLY brings the fun and control of the player in this universe.
I only know of 1 for now, its when you get a house and visit the slums for the first time - you get your first assistant. But I'm hoping there would be more.
They have a really good tutorial in the menu screen - although I would stick with easy mode for a beginner for both tutorial and normal/custom games. After finishing the tutorial, you can have a normal or a custom start - and this is where the game is at its hardest in making you try to quit it. The game is a little too open ended in my opinion in the beginning, and navigating the different locations can become too much information. But this sort of thing is to be expected, and in fact I'd appreciate this more, rather than having a small sandbox to play with at all. Game should have a little handholding in the beginning is all.
The images classification according to action-hair-age-skincolor-etc is genius, and would always be appreciated to have even more images added. I'd imagine developers must have overhauled a lot of images from the several booru sites with their relatively well categorized 'tags'.
Sometimes you get a character from an established series which ruins the illusion a little, but this is still always welcome.
I've seen so many new 'sandbox' games that just have preexisting well fleshed out NPCs, that you can just fuck around with repeatable events and just call it 'sandbox' - but that has no meaningful 'change' in their character. It really brings down and dilutes the essence of a sandbox eroge game. It really is a shame that such great games like this one, is essentially hidden on F95zone by the constant updating 'new' games.
Just looking at the description and seeing that this game is still being developed by the Community since 2014 is just plain amazing. And props to the several current/past developers that are still working on this.
Games like this really inspire players like myself to finish the game, and then maybe contribute some content in the future - just because how well developed this game already is and you REALLY want to make it even better.
