Once you reach the (not yet implemented) freeroam after day 3 or so, you can repeat events like the park visit or beach vacation.
Hang on... How is that going to work?

I can understand a game having a sandbox-like structure from the start as you have areas and events that you simply cannot access. So you go away, grind your stats, and return in order to unlock them. Every sandbox works like that.

The problem is that this game has not been a sandbox from the start. It has had a very linear and regimented timeline where certain events and areas can only be accessed at particular points in the story.

Is the idea that day 3 is the point where the rigid timeline is abandoned and then game goes completely sandbox so you have the stuff on the train, arrive in the town, and then do what you want in whatever order? Because that would work with the existing events having stat barriers that are inaccessible without cheating as you'd effectively be delaying the events which happen on day 1 and day 2 of the current build.

If the plan is that we reach day 3 and suddenly the game opens out into a sandbox then it doesn't make sense that you would be able to revisit those earlier events as they are already in the past. I know that we're going to get the ability to change genders, are we also going to acquire the ability to time-travel as otherwise I'm not sure how you could 'repeat' the first time you meet the sister's best friend in the park on day 1 or the first time you go to the beach with the girl from the train on day 2.

Either the game gets re-worked to be a sandbox from the start, OR you get the ability to time-travel, OR the Dev has stuck a number of events behind stat-gates that are inaccessible without cheating (which is effectively a pay-wall).

I don't think the introduction events have high requirements, but some of the following scenes had their requirements upped in recent updates, so they are probably meant to be repeatable.


I already said it in my review but I'll say it again here: If we can have an internal walkthrough guide or a reminder of the selected options, this would ease the freeroam part.
A lot of dialogue options have clear indications on what they will/might progress through icons for skill requirements, stat changes, quest starts and such. But many of the inconspicuous unmarked options also lead to potentially much more interesting results.

So part of the game seems to be about simply trying out things for different results.

It's my understanding that we're still on the prologue. Or that's how I'm looking at it, anyway.

I didn't know this dev prior to this reboot, so I can't speak about his track record. But speaking exclusively about this game, he's constantly updating it and is always on discord giving a heads up on development.

Bear in mind that this is not a renpy VN, it's a unity game with strong RPG elements, which means it's a lot more challenging to develop, so it makes sense he can't update as quickly being an one man team(even though I don't think the updates are that slow as you're claiming).
"Dude, I disagree with what you mean by 'constantly updating.' All he does is send texts like 'let's work and shit,' but he never actually shares any progress or tells us what he's done and what he hasn't. If you had invested in his game since 2023, you could have already bought Black Myth: Wukong countless times. But the quality and performance of this game? It's not even worth a dollar!"

don't ask why I toxic with this Dev, ask about his last two 'abandoned' game

That's how I was looking at it too (I assumed that this game would have paths rather than an actual sandbox) but then OP suggested that the existing scenes will be re-playable with raised stats and I don't think that makes sense.

you have to get the taxidriver angry, as far as I remember and he will kick you out in an alley. There you can meet the transgenders....
I think it works, as soon you call him a rapist, because of using drugs on the girls. But I'm not sure, because I didn't follow the female way of MC....

I see... It's amazing how the author manages to hide so much content in such non-obvious choices. The game has colossal replayability potential. Well, it looks like another option for meeting these prostitutes and not quarreling with the taxi driver is to wait for the sandbox update.

As far as I know, this way is not planned and there are other events coming on top of this scene....but you have to be on the gay path with a lot of female points, if you want to check out this route...
I completely avoid female points, because I'm absolutely not into tags like that...but I think it's cool, that everyone has a lot of options for his or her own favor...this is, what the game makes unique
