Hey konabwo, I follow your signature here since I love sandbox games (And hate VNs)

I saw you on my game thread so I know you are aware of it, but for others, I would like to shamelessly plug my own game:
Time Loop Hunter : It's a time-manipulation adventure where you have to recollect the memories of whatever you do in a time loop and use it in your favor.

It's mislabeled as VN :cautious: but it's a 100% sandbox!

Cheers!
I can vouch that it is as sandbox as any other game around here, more like half the Sahara in a shipping container. And it is indeed a great game with an interesting setup, arguably one of the most ambitious ones on here, which to my admitted utter surprise still works despite the insane amount of freedom to roam around time and space later on. I enjoyed my time with it a lot generally, and am looking forward to revisiting (though I'll have to start over to get the feel for it again).

One major downside though: after getting the hang of how it works it still is incredibly convoluted (which I mean here only as "mindnumbingly complex", not as unbelievable and incomprehensible storylines outside the basic premise) and you will need a pile of paper and a pen to sort it all out or have to try every permutation of choices (you cannot lose no matter how stupid you act, which is logical in this game however). Alternatively of course you can use the presented walkthrough which will show you (as far as I know) all available content - however it is difficult to keep track where precisely you are at times and "joining the walkthrough" after getting stuck somewhere during the game, then playing on is also not working too well since you may need to revisit earlier steps (revisiting earlier steps is one thing you'll do a lot anyway, there's a hint in the title about why that is) and sometimes remember what you already did. And just following the walkthrough click by click wouldn't be too far off from a kinetic novel, the very antithesis of a box.

That being said, I will repeat that I consider it a great game if the above does not deter you and if the internal logic and the pathing still work at the end, I will lift multiple hats.

As for the wrong labeling - you should be able to report the original post, so it can be changed, no?

who knows any developed 2Dpics sbx games (that is, surpassing teasing and first bj xxx content)...
engine: not RPGM
subgenre: not trainers (so not rogue etc)
art: not animeish , not pixel.
qol: not without instatext skip (so not milftoondrama)

hence, the less weir & cartoonish the better (that is, the more realistic depiction of humans the better...traced art d be best, or something closer to night driver . but well not so picky there, just something not weird or ugly ...and generally id opt for realistic settings and premise)

something less popular (like i played STS...and aware of tuffytales, town uncovered - just didnot like the art ...checked paradise lust but looks like will wait until/if instaskipping is implemented...)

anything known about those (not sure if each is sbx):
paradise lofts
magical-gene
prince-of-suburbia
another chance
lacks xxx
life in woodchester /noskip
romantic world vn/pc
lustworth academia undev
bonerdale
aba?
graduated / alright
pirates-golden-tits /plyabale

tame it ..maybee
sunrise city /no qol
horror-in-hongdae
catch your luck /undev

Only one I know from the list in that I started playing it is Paradise Lofts, which would fit your criteria but I don't know how far it goes content wise (Lustworth and Sunrise kinda ring a bell but not enough to comment upon). Certainly not "weird" and somewhat realistic, given the general genre we're talking here. I think your QOL requirement is pretty harsh in this genre though, it does not scream "Ren'Py". Similarily "not RPGM" could be a problem. While I get why so many people dislike RPGM games, and I am somewhat reluctant to pick them up as well, to me it is what you do with the engine rather than the engine itself (see "Wicked Rouge" which you discounted for different reasons).

looked at it, on preview ui looks like on renpy/unity/etc games... without those small figures (dunno if present)
It doesn't have the usual Ren'Py features, but it also doesn't have the usual RPGM features (running around, combat, stats related to that). I thought that was what you meant with "Rogue", sorry.

eh well i think i meant it as well by mentioning RPGM ...but with regard to trainers - it meant rogue evolution or smth, superhero girl trainer game
downloaded NTR Legend...it is pixel but not that unrealistic... not that animeish ...but trainer/datesim...so deviated from my search .../done. short game...

though only 1st matches my requirements and i played it. overall it is good (renders, qol) but isolation as premise never worked for me (like in CMA or waterworld. dropped em in the process) . harem hotel i started once but not into HS ... third ones art is good eenough but fantasy environemnt is a nono.

Well, it is an isolated island/country (moreso than North Korea) but there still is a whole population going on, you just don't interact with it much (I think the only one is the old man when you explore the streets), so it certainly is different from Waterworld in that regard (CMA is still on my to do list/pile of shame). WW is also a way worse story and game altogether IMO. Wouldn't recommend it no matter the restrictions.

[LOP GOLD] Living With Temptation
i want to check LoPs i didnot play caz such were not marked as having cheats
(in some thread with the list of lops available on f95.) anything worthy?
though i more or less figured how to do it with cheat engine so can try from now on. but cannot figure how to track changed values without relying only on manual comparing (that is, with my mere eyes ; i tried options which seemed probable to me but nothing granted such results)
