This is possibly the worst sandbox I've every engaged with
Sadly i have to agree.
I liked the first game mostly because of the girls, but the actual one:
started it several times - no interesting interactions - no interesting girls - unnecessary complex, tend to say: frustrating controls/movement - sitting on the computer and have to solve puzzles - quitted the game.
Trying it now with the (content reduced... yay) VN-mode, but i don't expect much more than the last 5 times tbh....
Really sad, since the renders looked promising enough to give it so much attempts... :/
EDIT:
KinkiSham since you reacted to my post, i will try to give a more reasonable description of some points.
If i play an ero-game, i like to interact with the girls, i like to get known to them and know them, i like to see spicy scenes, hear about/play an interesting story etc.
But with the sandbox you created i'm permanently focused on: "were must i click next to move forward, were to move backward, is there a room? is there a door, a way?..." and so on. It's just distracting. It kills every vibe.
Same with the PC/work - i have not even started to do it since it's just awful - i started a porn-game and now i have to do engineering in some minigame to achieve... what? There's just no reason for it. Thats not what i like to do in a game like this. IF, and i say IF you implement something like this, it has to be much easier.
I think i can somehow understand what you are trying to do. You try to implement some ambitius mechanics, something to lift up your game/the gameplay above the "just average level", to give something special to it.
But it's way to complex for an ero-game, it just leads sooooo far away from what should be in focus.
That in addition to the completely different characters/story compared to part 1 is just: not satisfying.
I will try the VN-mode like i said, maybe that fits better - and maybe you should focus on this one.
But with the promise of cutted out content i can hardly motivate myself to do that.
