Well the dev certainly has a type, if that first preview image is accurate. 4 women and they all look the same!

Because they're obviously trying to be gay. Name them. Cunt, 1-5. What's the difference, the number. It's a miss, the dev has made way too many restrictions and very samey renders

There are, but only for one of the girls, after completing her story you unlock it, there's a bit of everything with her.
But for now it's a bit disappointing the amount of content its just the main story and that story and a lot of empty space, looks promising, but for now it's a bit meh.

Do you think the freeroam is useless?

....

First: Eleanor and Roxanne work during weekdays, and the freeroam is based on hours. So, most of the time, the house is just empty. And there are only two girls, so even on weekends, it feels empty. I used the hours skip button a lot...

Second: As the freeroam is accessible even before completing Segment 4, there can be no mention of the MC's arcane in it.

And then, what I played was just a normal guy looking for Eleanor in an almost empty house, to help her do things she could have easily done on her own, and the reward was sex. And the events are really short.

Where is the Raven? The Arcanists? The black steam, the summons, the skeletons, the epic music? Where is the violence?!
Eleanor was not the private eye and the 5.5 level Arcanist, she was just... Eleanor, the woman who loves giving rewards.

I wanted to make a daily life freeroam, and I succeeded perfectly. 10/10, I am the king of daily life. But since the story doesn't take place in the freeroam, the whole thing feels off.

And for all that, I find the freeroam incredibly... useless.

I can remove the whole freeroam and turn the game into a full visual novel, and divide the arcs into chapters.
Ironically, there would be more sex scenes if I make something like :
Chapter 1 – the family + sex scenes
Chapter 2 – the classmates + sex scenes + family sex scenes
Chapter 3 – the teachers + sex scenes + family sex scenes + classmates sex scenes
Etc...

I like freeroam when it's done well, but doing freeroam really well is a ton more work than not doing it. To really do it well, what you want is basically, different freeroam scenes that unlock/replace earlier freeroam scenes, as the main story and/or different characters' stories progress. To me at least, it feels really rewarding to have the "daily life" scenes go from a lot of teasing (but not a lot of action), early in the game, to gradually progress to full-blown fuckfest everywhere with everyone by the end of the game, while still giving you the control to go where you want, when you want, to see different scenes. But obviously, that's a ton more work than just doing it in a more VN-style. Not only do you need exponentially more renders and writing, but you have to do a lot more careful coding and logic checks to make sure that your scenes that are supposed to happen later aren't triggering too early or referencing stuff that hasn't happened yet. Especially with a structure where each girl's story is basically independent and they can be done in a different order, those logic checks will get extremely convoluted extremely fast and you might end up needing to write 8 or 10 or more different variations on the same scene depending on which girls' plots and/or main story beats the player has already done.

So to really do it right, it's an absolute fuckton more work than a regular visual novel, and I'd never hold it against any dev for opting to take the easier, faster, simpler road. It's tough enough to finish even a simple, easy game and the burnout rate is crazy. But for myself, I personally do love a really good sandbox that takes that time and adds things to those renders, even if it means the game progresses much slower overall -- Amnesia is a good example, like your game it started in kind of a gray area between free roam and VN, but the dev reworked it in a way to really have a system for different levels of "daily activities" as relationships progress. It's still not perfect and you'll see lots of comments in that thread bitching about the size of the updates, but IMO (and apparently that dev's opinion too), it'll be worth it in the end.

I still have no idea what to do. Only prolog is unlocked. I thought that once finished the next scene would open, but two years in and just groundhog day.

The new freeroam scenes are an improvement from the sex scene at the end of the Eleanor route which was pretty bad. Still too much of the one doggystyle angle where you can't see anything.

The game has been in development for well over two years with only content for 1(out of 25?) woman done. So if removing freeroam speeds up the process, it might be the way to go.
