I was hoping for a sandbox, got a railroady rape conga line.
One example: I had my character go for a swim, and she got assaulted and stripped by squids, but was able to fight them off. Direct consequences. So far, so good.
On the way back, she was confronted by a pair of friendly lesbians. There wasn't a way to "decline" sex with them, so I tried fighting them off. Instead of getting discouraged or backing off, the friendly lesbians raped and beat my character and left her for dead.
Then, a pair of beachcombers found her bleeding on the beach, claimed they would help, and then sodomized her.
Shit like this happens repeatedly, more so if you resist at all. It seems there is an all around lack of agency in the game. Sandboxes are supposed to be all about player choice; Degrees of Lewdity seems to have only a single valid one: "Lie there and take it".
