Sure wish there was a way to play this game without the dreaded sandbox issue. AARGH! It looks like it would be a blast if there wasn't constant concern about so many moving pieces.
For instance: Go this way, go that way. Get money here, get money there. Talk to this person, talk to that person. Check the computer, check your phone. You don't have enough money, now what? Uh-oh, gotta go to sleep. Oops, it's in the middle of the day, can't go to sleep. Now what? Supposed to talk to someone; don't know who to talk to. No indication on the map of where to go or who to talk to. Can't progress time. Walk around blindly. Do the same thing over and over until time passes. What to do now? Got no clue. No hints. No help. Only way to play is with a .pdf walkthrough, which is ridiculous.
Too bad, because this appears to be a quality game.
