Saw sandbox wondering how Grindy this is? It looks good but the grind can kill it if I have to spend an hour grinding for a 5 min scene or randomly going here and there and back and forth for nothing really worthwhile? So I guess is this worth downloading? Thank you for your time :)

No grinding at all.

There is a guide in game tells you exactly what you have to do and all it involves is talking to that person when it tells you to, that's it.

Closest thing to a grind is going to main map and moving time forward to get to the point you need.

Sandbox done right!!
There's tips for when you need directions
And the story is engaging, though a bit too linear.

Just FYI. If you use the current inc Patch, I'll get this error when I talk to the store owner:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
Exception: Sayer 'ash' is not defined.

Full traceback:
File "ash_one.rpyc", line 13, in script

just add this line to the characters.rpy:
Python:
define ash = Character("Ash", who_outlines=[ (2, "#000000") ], what_outlines=[ (2, "#000000") ])

For anyone who doesn't want to add the code themselves, here's the corrected patch file.

Just why is it a sandbox then? Take out the grind and you dont have a sandbox?

I did not like it. Just why is it a sandbox as it is so linear. Just better writing would turn it into the VN it is.

Considering all of the other characters in the game who are present but don't have content at the moment, I believe this will have to be a sandbox and not a VN.

Because sandbox doesn't mean grind.
I know that's a shocker but the two words aren't even remotely close to being synonyms.
Well you do not know what sandbox means. It is in the games world a game without any purpose just a roam around which usually ends up in a grind because all the scenes have been played and there is nothing more to do. This game has a guidance system which will mean all the scenes will be reached sooner. There is no smooth running or decision making in a sandbox. You just click and click till all scenes are finished. Never mind the story just make the scenes. A great game LOL.

Good lord you're daft.

I know damn well what sandbox means and it has nothing what so ever to do with grind.
Sandbox is literally just another word for an open world game where the player gets to choose the order in which they interact with the world.

You need to stop confusing Grind aka Trainer with Sandbox. The two aren't the same..

That is where the writers skill is involved. In a VN you can have a list of characters and even specify relationships. In sandboxes there is no decision making just knocking off the scenes. There is no character involvement just you go there and there and thats it. Just fuck her here and here and repeat.

When I get to the store for the camera, first the clerck can't be seen, than it highliths behind the counter, and when I try to talk to her, I get the attached error message. Anybody else found this?

PS: I just realized that I'm using the incest patch. Could it bee that the patch is missing this girl "Ash" ?

PPS. Yeah, editing the patch by adding "ash" as "Ashley" (my choise of name) worked like charm. Still not appearing at the counter though.
