Ok, I'll check it out. Doesn't sound terrible. The good may outweigh the bad.

I appreciate the replies.

For what it's worth, I'll offer this perspective:

I prefer purely kinetic AVNs, but I understand the need to accommodate certain audiences, so some choice inclusion is fine. I somewhat enjoy editing the files to remove the menus and automate the preferred paths, turning them into kinetic novels. This is not so easily done with a sandbox.

I do play a few sandbox games where the good outweighs the bad (The Headmaster, Power Vacuum), but they are ones I started before the novelty wore off.

Other ones that I consider otherwise excellent are on the edge of completely losing me because the direction is not sufficiently clear, and I waste a lot of time just trying to hunt down the correct trigger.

I recently started Origin Story, which has some sandbox elements that are minimal, with a guiding checklist, so it's tolerable, but if I need to do everything to progress, and it doesn't matter what order I do it in (for the most part), then it leaves me questioning why make it have extra steps to begin with?

I don't understand why sandbox is preferable to some creators and players. It just seems like a lot of extra work on both sides to accomplish the exact same end.

I saw one AVN that offered an option to play it as kinetic or with choices, though it was not a sandbox one. I wish more would do that. I don't have content hang-ups that I feel any need to opt out of. I just want the full story and to see everything.

Anyway, that's just my personal point of view. It doesn't have to mean anything to you.

The question is, am I going to be wasting time clicking things that end up doing nothing, making me have to search for what actually accomplishes something? I hate sandbox games that waste my time with fruitless clicks.

Darn. You lost me at "sandbox."

Hmm. This pleases me. Yes.

Worth the wait.

I downloaded this thinking it would be just cheap, silly, horny fun, but I was surprised to find true depth... in addition to silly, horny fun.

Ashley's past is brutalizing my emotions.

I also generally dislike sandbox games, because so many have so much fruitless repetition, but this game keeps that pretty well in check.

I'm enjoying it so much that the only (advertized) cheat I'm using is occasionally changing the time of day to earlier.

As far as the spicy concepts go, I've been pleasantly surprised.  Many disappoint. This game has not (yet. Still unfinished).

I am re-downloading the demo, now.  I will play again, and if I get error screens, then I will screenshot them and send the pictures via Discord, unless you prefer another method.

Is it just the demo that's screwed up, or will I get constant error screens with the full version as well?

It was tolerable, for a while.  I just hit ignore and move on, then they became more frequent until it was just one after another making the game unplayable.

Also, the stats button just put up and error screen.  Completely unusable.

I second that.  I don't give any amount of money before I've tested the product.

I was a little wary at first, but this has turned out well, and the animation is actually not disappointing like some other VNs I've tried.

I do wish there was more appreciation for the smaller-chested girls in these things, tho.

Regardless, you have my appreciation.

I also appreciate the self-awareness of certain, shall we say, limitations that are comedically addressed.
