never really figured out what sandbox are/does
(o.o) i cannot believe dat
well firstly i called everything
non-VN as interactive games (
whereas VNs are largely smth like CYOA 'poems' with pics/animations...and i still dont call such games.)
...but figured it is called sandbox (and tagged that way).
( everything with tracking,choosing,moving, and UI to do so ....objects,locations,time periods,npcs,phones,backpacks,etc )
looks like point-n-click is a synonym for that .
later i started to separate 'classic' sbs from datesims/pickers/trainers/managers sbs (one category for me)
also i started to see some borderline cases/hybrids...well i call em 'vns-into-sbs' (badik,dod,thegift)
