tbf, sandbox is far from required. Indeed, a non-sandbox game is usually more fun, imo. Too many sandboxes these days that spread themselves thin as hell trying to account for every possible player (which is impossible).

However, a porn game without porn or much game is just an empty program. And I've been waiting for months for this game to actually deliver on the porn aspect.

I do not think it ever will.
Perhaps I am a bit more optimistic, or perhaps I got slightly smitten by the art style, and simply wish for success, but I think the communication by the developer, in this case, is encouraging. I've noticed a trend with certain other (failed or disappeared) developers having a certain set of.... attitudes towards their own game, or towards critics, and this developer is different, insofar as to how they acknowledge and even point out how commenters currently call their game "boring" at the moment. I don't have anything to substantiate this gut feeling at the moment, as it's too early to tell, but from seeing multiple dozens of Webcomics and games implode and wither away into nothingness, I have hope for this one to be better. I will say it's definitely going to be at least a year or so before we have significant gameplay chunks to delve through. I am gonna socket this in my "check every couple months or so" folder.

Not harem and multiple girls. So probably a bunch of forced content with girls your didn't choose and can't fuck because the girl you choose will get mad...

Very smart...

So I really like the game and want to enjoy it. I like how you have to figure out how to find each of the romance options. I could care less about the decay, just wished it didn't trigger if you do a class that increases that stat.

The one thing that is driving me up the damn wall is the inconsistent events. I did the test of mind almost a dozen times and it never once had a consistent replay. Like the first set of doors. The names three names door. I have gotten everywhere from a one time click of you know this. All the way to 5 times having to try the option again. I get wanting to have some kind of rng in the game. But this is infuriating.

First run where I focus on prowess (34)? I randomly get a rat spell. Have lower study (49), spellpower (31) and imagination (16) and get more constant events during the trial of mind. Only 1 door behind and can consistently get second place.

Second run where I focus study (61) imagination (15), and spellpower (46)? No rat spell, and wildly agressive ranges for the doors. To the point that I actually get bricked and cannot get past the rat door or it's counterpart. Losing the trial of mind.

It doesn't make any sense to me.

How many Harry Potter games even are there?
More than I'm aware of, less than you'd probably think.

It's a popular IP that peaked hard with like...the first big one (Witch Trainer) and ever since then there's been people trying to imitate the idea (Innocent Witches, or at least what it originally was) or people trying to go a new direction (this game or Magic Lessons). But not a lotta people wanna tackle it due to A. personal reasons related to the original author, B. personal reasons related to their reactions to the fanbase or the original IP, or C. because there's already a small handful of them out there and they don't want to saturate the market (so to speak) with more of the same IP parody.

But also like there still isn't that many Harry Potter porn parody games that are still worked on, let alone even get to the point of completion.

Has anything suggested to you that there will be any more cucking than the dev cucking us out of an actually substantial update?

Because if you see a game you like and your first thought is "I hope it doesn't involve cuckolding" man, you gotta see a shrink.

So the game looks interesting and the are is nice, but we'll probably have to wait A year for substantial content. Now I don't really understand why make A sandbox with A bunch of stat raising and the like, but not having A harem option, like I can't see myself grinding out A bunch of chores (stats) multiple times starting A new game each time to get with each girl, it honestly sounds like A bunch of annoying busy work. If you are going down the no harem route and can only end the game with one girl then I'd prefer you go down the Japanese visual novel style and simply have A common route that introduces you to the entire cast and has you get to know them, then you simply add branching dialog choices that lead you too each girls individual routes that are actually substantially unique and gives A genuine reason too replay the game multiple times because the story will be actually different for each girls route and does so without all the pointless grinding and time wasting for A very similar experience each go around.

Now obviously I'm biased against sandbox games because there's very few that ever actually amount to A worthwhile experience, at best they usually are simply designed around letting you see and get with whoever you want at your own convenience and are usually harem games because of that, at it's worst it's designed around having A bunch of pointless time consuming chores to hide the fact that in reality there's barely any content.

To sum things up I like the art and setting, but I'm worried this will become another time wasting sandbox too hide the lack of content and the lack of harem causes me to feel even more worried this will become A convoluted mess with time. That being said I genuinely hope you'll prove me wrong and I'll be keeping an eye on the game until it gets some more content to play through.

in my experience a game like this a harem route normally requires you to clear a ending or two first

No harem in a sand box game. Really?
I like harem because it's convenience. Get everything in 1 playthrought. No need to jump save file to save file for other girls.

If you want no harem in a porn game then do VN instead. No stat grind and skip are god send for multi ending.

Ngl I intersested because the art but no harem and almost a year still no sex really kill the game for me. Maybe next year I will check on the game again. Hope it's worth playing by then.
