I managed to power through this obscenely grindy sandbox game using a combination of console commands, an online guide which should be linked in OP, and the in-game stat cheat menu. Four hours on Sunday plus a couple hours into this week... gone forever, probably wasn't worth it.
Let's dispense with the positives first - if you're into light femdom, as in females being sexually cruel/domineering within the purview of conventional fucking, this game offers a not inconsiderable selection of h-scenes exactly along those lines. Graphics are good to excellent - a unique cartoony 3d style with emphasis on thicc bimbo type models, but also a few conventionally attractive ones.
The story is your standard issue anti-hero with a heart of gold crime drama but refreshingly free of both the "all men are rapists except for the PC" and "anti-ntr" tropes so annoyingly common in pron games . The PC actually has male friends who are sexually active incl with the women he fucks, and it's not presented as some horrible ntr ordeal. Writing/dialogue isn't "good" but mostly manages to avoid the pron game tendency of over-the-top pseudo-drama as substitute for literary talent.
Negatives... *whew* - the sandbox gameplay is tied for first spot in the category of most pointlessly, deliberately byzantine time-wasting porno gaming experience that f95zone has to offer. Even armed with every workaround I could find it took me the better part of six fucking hours to see h-scenes with like four characters and I've probably only covered half of the available content. The content itself btw is around 40 minutes' worth of clicking without the so called gameplay.
Timers for every little interaction, random variables for quest rewards/requirements, horrible time management system, unnecessarily convoluted quest lines - in short, the design is clearly meant to stress the player out rather than entertain them. And yes, I am aware this is a deliberate "creative decision" to simulate the life of a bum trying to survive and what have you. There are far better ways to convey that though, for example ones that do not involve boring or annoying the players.
Someone might object that the grindfest is meant to be "realistic". To them I say - you need to go out more often if you actually think a ren'py sandbox about fucking thicc hoes using the secret PUA technique of giving them drinks and gifts so you can raise their stats to a level where they suddenly think you da man, is a simulation of reality.
Apparently some people love the sandbox. Good for them. Reports indicate however that the vast majority do not. I'm not saying get rid of the sandbox, but a total redo of the stat and quest system would go a long way towards making the game accessible to the average fapper.
4/5 for story and sex scenes, -2 for tedious gameplay and bad design.
