its a shame that the floating penis had to appear.
Nothing puts me of a VN more than floating unattached appendages. :(

First wrong place to ask, you the compression request thread. https://f95zone.to/threads/game-compression-requests-3-0.176210/

Second probably not gonna happen with this release. I tried to do it myself but there appears to be a missing file required to unpack it. Correction - Unren won't extract the rpa but found a different tool (rpaExtract) that will. Still it's just over the line necessary to even make a request so don't expect it to be a high priority.

No sandbox really ruined this and many other games for me fr fr. :(
Well I am really not sure if I'd make t sandbox, when I started this game it would be any good. And if you appreciate hardcode sandbox in this genre, you might want to check out Mr C.'s corruption game

Thanks for the recommendation but I don't really fancy 3d games. And as for the sandbox I don't really care about how they come, so long as I can view the maps and interact with the in-game surroundings, I don't really see people's issues with sandbox tbh, dialogues and good art can only get me so invested, I think it has something to do with my attention span but I like tinkering with in-game mechanics, the more the merrier because at the end of the day it's still a GAME and vns without any form of sandbox of map movement are just glorified slideshows. All I can say now is good luck on your game because most of the community seem to like it this way (y)

Which is wild since people trying to make their games into a sandbox has literally killed almost every single game I've seen try to do it. The sheer number of games I've seen go from a pretty interesting and snappy visual novel to suddenly trying to be a sandbox and then getting abandonned an update or two later after trying to make the transition is insane.

And that's before bringing up that all most sandboxes seem to do is just bog down the entire experience with grinding through pointless stat increasing exercises (like: read a book to get a +1 to intelligence until it's over 300 and you can continue the story with that one girl in particular) and sticking content behind specific locations and times of day where if you miss it or don't have enough energy/mana/whatever when it finally comes up you have to trawl through another 10 minutes of stalling before it comes back around, and that's assuming it's not a random event which you may miss out on entirely if you never find it again. It always felt to me like it was a cheap way to pad for time and make an update seem larger than it really was, all of which just delays reaching the actual story anyway, turning what could've been a great 3-4 hour visual novel into a bloated time sink.

Don't get me wrong, there are good sandbox games out there, but they feel like the rare cases.

You can do sandbox well, so long s you avoid the annoying traps illustrated above; you can progress with whichever LI has your interest or share time among them.

But the best of these games are designed this way from the start; it really doesn't work well in adapting a game designed for linear progression.

This game effectively takes place in a single residence. Making this a sandbox would be a TERRIBLE idea, the Dev was logistically correct in going the VN direction.

The only people who voice their opinion here otherwise are afflicted with main character syndrome and are incapable of seeing WHY their preferences don't fit in something. They only see that their needs aren't catered to in literally everything and feel the need to cry about it.
