I think one of the problems with sandbox-ish games is: with a classic VN during development, one version will just stop at a point, and you know that the next update will continue from there. Sure, it may veer off into a direction you're not that interested in like setting up meetings with all the wrong LIs, but you see how it is progressing.I don't want the "series" to end, but I certainly want "episodes" or "arcs" to end. The content expands at a great pace, but every time it reaches a "coming soon" WIP ending with a developer's note.
With a sandbox you have a dozen or more break off points for the different storylines, and there may or may not be progress at all for what you're interested in. The result may be the same, you don't get to spend time with Tiffany or whomever you fancy, but in a VN the progress is felt differently since you will just follow the story and hope Tiff comes round the corner while in a box you know that peeking on Jasmine won't help.
