What is a Sandbox Game?
A sandbox game is a type of immersive
Sandbox games are typically open-ended and can be characterized by the following elements:
Traditional linear video games have pre-programmed paths that players have to follow in order to win (or beat) the game. In contrast, sandbox video games give players the ability to experiment, and the concept of winning is irrelevant.
and for this site it's probably normal... anal without anal, sleeping sex without sleeping sex, sandbox without sandbox and the ubiquitous VN... they are even where it is not indicated that the game is VN...

that encourages players to explore and interact with a virtual environment. The objective of a sandbox game is for the player to learn about the game’s features, mechanics, and limitations through trial and error.Sandbox games are typically open-ended and can be characterized by the following elements:
- Players are free to explore the game at their own pace and engage with

- Players are encouraged to experiment and discover different ways to interact with the game world.
- There is no definitive endpoint or “win” condition. The focus is simply on interaction.

House Party, Man of the House... These games are not sandboxes... In your opinion, apparently any game that is not an VN is a sandbox... No, it's not like that...Just described how to change one into the other. Freedom of choice into linearity.
Sandbox does not mean you have many choices (that you have in VNs as well, choices don't make them sandbox games), but that you can decide where to go and what to do next.
And why grind? There are sandbox games without any grind (House Party, Man of the House). Everything in them is event based. The only thing to grind in this game is money and house points to unlock weekend events.
everyone is crazy about these VN... they are made, they are loved, and some are also trying to disguise their VN as a sandbox... and it turns out to be disgusting... as a result, you grind to see the VN... Both sandbox and VN cannot be compatible... because it's warm and cold, + and -...I don't see a contradiction here at all. In a VN, you have a story, told in a particular order, with choices along the way that dictate various things about how that story plays out. In a sandbox game, you can choose which parts of the story to pursue, and in what order, with the addition of other things like mini games to do.
I'm not arguing this particular game does a perfect job of balancing the two, but they can absolutely coexist.
