Seeking Looking Sandbox with non-Sandbox

[DarkReficul]

I'm looking for games with sandbox tag but that does contain a gameplay without sandbox, in other words, linear visual novels.

For example: Strings of Fate, Wartribe Academy(I think), Dissonance and Bumpkin Boy's Bizarre Adventures(2nd thumbnail it's a good example).

Not sure if it counts, but you could try Timestamps Part 1 and Part 2. There is a map system, but with only 1 choice each time (marked by a blue dot, you can go everywhere else but there is nothing to do), except once in part 2 where you have 2 possible choices but one leads to a game over. So the map system is more of a way to give you a break between scenes and to let you know where you're going than really a sandbox system. There is no grind at all, no stat system, no money, etc...
