Seeking What are your favorite sandbox games?

According to Wikipedia, "A sandbox game is a video game with a gameplay element that provides players a great degree of creativity to interact with, usually without any predetermined goal, or alternatively with a goal that the players set for themselves."

Unfortunately, in F95zone the sandbox tag is given to any VN that allows the player to "walk around" by clicking on arrows and doors.

To me, a key aspect to any sandbox game is encouraging the player to experiment with the game's mechanics and see how the simulated world reacts to their actions. A strictly scripted event detracts from the immersion of a simulated world.

Example of games with sandbox-like mechanics would be:
- Karryn's Prison: has a great battle and corruption system that unlocks new ways to subdue and interact with enemies over time. Both Karryn and the enemies change their behavior according to the players actions over the course of the game.
- A Struggle with Sin: has a lot of characters who have their own schedule, making the world feel more alive.
- Lona RPG: A lot of mechanics that together makes the game feel like a grimdark simulation.

- post-apo,
Male or female protagonist; maledom, neutral, femdom; little story; graphics- from zero to ok; sad; negative.

2.Masters of Raana - post-apo.
Maledom; little story; ok graphics; sad; negative.

3.Degrees of Lewdity- "from weak to strong”.
Male or female protagonist; maledom, neutral, femdom; little story; bad graphics; sad; negative.

4.The Patriarch - maledom
Maledom; good story; good graphics; sad; negative.
Additional info: One of the best executions of the “male domination” tag. Worth playing to the end, especially because the game has something that can be seen as the open ending, despite not being finished yet. It looks at the begining like "sandbox tag is given to any VN that allows the player to >>walk around<<", but there is more to it later on (game mechanics and options expands).

5.The Bite: Revenant - mystery
Neutral; good story; good graphics; sad; negative.
Additional info: Close to "sandbox tag is given to any VN that allows the player to >>walk around<<"".
