Eternum
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Welcome!
I'm Caribdis and I'm creating Eternum, a choice-based visual novel made in Ren'py with tons of romance, mystery, humor, and much more!

Plot
You’re moving with your best friend to the city of Kredon, home to some of the best schools and universities in the country, to continue your studies. However, in Kredon, there’s only one thing everyone talks about: ETERNUM—the virtual, hyper-reality MMORPG game released a few years ago that revolutionized the world of technology.
With a neural implant that recreates the five senses, it becomes impossible to distinguish between the game and the real world.
Thousands of servers form the network of Eternum: from colorful, magic-filled fantasy worlds to foggy sci-fi cities, no world is beyond reach.
Nevertheless, looking beyond the surface, there's a darker side to this pretty facade: black markets, torture, rape, illegal content trafficking, unlawful assemblies, data theft… Eternum follows the rules of no man.
For some reason, governments turn a blind eye to this; there’s no regulation and no control. Some say it’s because the game is highly addictive, some say it’s because the market moves millions of dollars daily, some say those in power have been bribed, and others say… there’s something else going on.
And you? What’s your role in this story?
Well... That’s up to you now.

hello again! i binged this whole damn thing after beating oial, and i gotta say, the people saying its so much better? they were RIGHT. i can see how much your work has grown and improved from oial, its insanely impressive. keep that shit up mein freund! i might buy the patreon cause how good this is, i cant believe it took me this long to get into AVNs.
**SPOILERS- MAJOR, DONT READ UNTIL YOU BEAT 0.7 OR DONT GIVE A FUCK:**
I GOT FUCKIN SHOT??
Don't get the pizza!!
Hey caribdis, i wanna ask if we will get so see a sex scene with idriel. Would that be possible at like the end of the game?
You are an absolute genius, a legendary screenwriter, a legendary editor, and a legendary game developer! Netflix should reach out to you to discuss adapting your game into a TV series!
fucking facts
Just finished playing what is currently out and my god I need more! This is such an amazing game and I can't wait to see what's going to happen in the future!
This is definitely the coolest game I've ever played and my favorite game. Thank you very much Caribdis, we love you.
I played through all the game for the first time the last two weeks so Time for the review
To start with , i don't know if it means to be but the scene with Nancy in the party unlocks even if you choose the option which just sticks with normal talk and maybe at one moment there was one word missing but other Than that there was no bug (just lag sometimes but it's my pc and it was rare so nothing Bad here)
So now , the good things , the game is really really really great , it's really immersive and i could Never see the Time pass , the story and the characters are really well writed , maybe the only little thing is between what seemed to end 0.5 and begins 0.6 , the crazy theory lack of a little explanation with how the characters Come to think of that (even if After it's explained and all but when they Said that , i was thinking i missed something) and even when horror is not my thing so much , you are making it very cool to play
And as for the girls , i clearly have a favorite , it's Luna , she has a lot of things i like about her , personnality , hobby , story ... Yeah maybe i like all about her
Looking forward to see the next update for more , i'm really hype (maybe in the meantime i will play your other game to wait for the next version)
Thank you so much!!!
Just finished 0.7 I guess we all know how damn well that "ending" can ruin anyone's day or maybe because I got too immersed while playing but for real though the "ending" really stings I tried to play other games instead but no good...
BTW not a fan of horror but I'm glad most of them is short...
Still gonna be looking forward for the next version though wish you all the best (along with the MC)
that shit ruined my week for real, poor boy was just gonna get some food and cuddle up to his favorite hacker 😢
Make sure to play 0.8 to know how the story continues!
Where?
all I can see as of now is link for version 0.7
0.8 is on the way, about 70% completed
What a fucking cliff hanger. Can't wait for more content to be released.
I'm sure the finished product is still a ways away, but how if you had to guess when it would be done, what would you say?
Think it'll take longer than OiaLT did, or less time since you have more experience making games now?
Just enjoy the ride. OiaLT is finished, and has been for a while, and still holds up fantastically against all the games that are still in development. Think of it like older games in other genres where the AI is not a massive fail. People will be playing OiaLT 20 years after finish, like X-Com or CivII, right up until we get full VR immersion ... which is part of the current game. Don't sweat the graphics of the time, roll with the story.
The graphic tools used in Eternum, and embedded music, and the occasional scrolling camera, take more time, regardless of "experience."
Dev made a post a while back guesstimating the game's length to be around 12-14 updates.
https://itch.io/post/9573790
That's about 2-3 years of dev time remaining if he keeps the 2 updates per year release that he has going for at the moment.
I wonder when its gonna be done (the new 0.8)
Hey I'm still having trouble getting past the "thanks for playing screen" as I've saved there by accident and now i have no way of playing through my main save file i need assistance pls
You only kept one savefile? This is just one reason why you shouldn't do that.
I have a few ideas on how to recover your progress but they wouldn't work on Android. If you can get your save working on a PC version of the game then reply to me and I'll write up the instructions for you.
Otherwise, you can either play from the beginning, which people often do, or use mods that let you start at a chapter of your choosing.
how can I mod on android to chapter 7 that's what I got too bc I was at Alex's scene before getting the thanks for playing screen 😅
Okay, I made a mod that is primarily a walkthrough mod but can also let you start from any chapter. Install it, tap the big N on the title screen five times and follow the instructions. Afterwards, if you want to play without any help, you can disable the mod in the settings or uninstall it again.
Ok I'll try it now
certain images are not popping up it's says error can't load image f8 or f6 or something like that, can I get some more assistance if u may?
I see, that's not the mod's fault, you prbly forgot to replace your old archive.rpa file with the new one when you updated your game. Do that and it should work.
One of my favorites! Caribdis does great work!
我很好奇下一次更新是什么时候？
I don't know how to download it on aandroid it's confusing
Just need to unzip the the file i suggest you use zarchiver its easy to use
Here's a guide
I hope that this story will be updated as sustainably as possible. I really love every girl. especially, Nova and Luna. By the way, should I restart the game when 0.8 comes out or just start only from the end of 0.7?
Nova and Luna best girls
It's not 100% reliable but most saves from 0.7 will keep working in 0.8
I replay it, because it doesn't get old. I only started at 0.5, but both times my saves were still there, and the machine I play this game on in Win7, so if there were issues on PC, I'd be a candidate to have them.
I'm absolutely in love! Just finished 0.7 and OMFG I'm hooked. Count me in amongst the eternumites. *cries until 0.8 comes out*
Thank you so much!
How do you get midnight cookies scene from annie and rush break from idk who
There's a walkthrough here, third download option. Rushed Break is a lewd scene with Nova.
everytime I want to install the game it just says "there was a problem parsing your package"
Idk how to fix it please help
Probably file corruption? Try to redownload the game.
maybe try installing from web version then, it worked for me
换一个浏览器
怎么安装安卓版，有没有教程？
下载作者提供的安卓版本，但是你注意到了吗？该文件的格式是ZIP，也就是说你下载到的是一个ZIP格式的压缩文件，所以你需要先对其进行解压。安卓系统的话，推荐你使用ZArchiver Pro，这是一个解压软件。在进行下载之前推荐你先在手机的文件管理中创建好一个文件夹，用来准备装下载好的压缩文件，这一步目的是确保你能找到下载的文件的位置，如果你能找到的话不用创建这个文件夹也可以。然后在ZArchiver Pro中找到该压缩文件，然后进行解压操作，我记不清了，应该是长按这个压缩文件就会出现“解压”两个字，解压完成后你应该会看到一个后缀为apk的文件，这个文件就是游戏的安装包，接下来只需要进行安装就可以了。希望对你有所帮助
虽然还没下载，但是先谢谢你的提醒
The best Visual Novel I have come across on the internet. Sooo story rich really incredible how good the storyline and plot is. Only caveat is the cliff hangers and suspense.
Glad you liked it!
Absolutely amazing game 10/10
when is next updat coming? This is the best game ive ever played!
Probably around Christmas? I don't know, this is just a speculation from me btw
Either November or December depending on how fast the dev updates the game. Either or it's well worth the wait. Got to be patient that's all!!
you can follow announcements on discord to know the approximate percentage of the new update's readiness
If all goes as planned, before the year is over
it crashed whenever i open it i did everything right tho
Hi i love yor work Caribidis and love the story. BTW, anybody know how to replace file if got update ? Well the story to long and I don't mind to start from beginning but if got any step I would like to know. Thanks in advance.
Hello, I wanted to ask if there is anyway to get a safefile somewhere? I wanna play the new update when it comes out, but I really don't wanna play clicking simulator through the whole story.
There is no option to choose the language, there is only English, when there is Portuguese-br, who knows I will play again
Translations are external files you have to add yourself and are not included in the base game.
A translation into Portuguese is in development by community members but these things take time.
Absolutely masterful storytelling, and extremely hot scenes! I downloaded this game for one reason, but I want to keep playing for a completely different reason now! Thanks for the amazing game!
Thank you for playing!!
This VN is still immaculate even to this day Caribdis you really out did yourself with this one fam I'm patiently waiting still for that update since that crazy cliffhanger you gave us it definitely surprised most of us, Thank you again for making this masterpiece :D
Thank you so much! :D
Very good game
Hey, just discoverd he game and play a bit. I really love the story and universe. Dialogs look very real and it is very well written. Just a remark, the gallery for Nancy and Luna are grey so I Cannot access to them. is it normal ? It appears not a the beggining but during the game
A grey portrait means that you lost that girls path, which is essentially her romance side story. This is caused by bad decisions you made during play. If you want to make things right you'd have to load an older save and make different choices. I offer both a written walkthrough as well as a walkthrough mod here if you're interested.
Ok thanks for your reply. it appears just after the yoga scene so I think I have to interrupt the yoga teacher ^^ I think that we cannot see gallery of female we lost, sad. But that's ok :)
Yup, not interrupting the yoga teacher is a path loss. Don't let that slimy jerk execute his plan.
my god perfect game
Won't install in my Android do you have direct apk not a zip?
Direct APK is no longer possible, with the latest update the game's size has grown beyond the limitations for the APK format.
You can either try Tanxui's installation guide or the video tutorial to guide you through installing the game.
hi , first of all i want to say thanks admins for this game , you guys are amazing! the subject line is perfect.
But i wanto t ask that when 0.8 will be in site shoud i again start game from 0? i mean can i continuit from 0.7 end part?
You can load saves from previous game versions, yes. Though you should keep at least a couple of saves since they don't work 100% of the time.
*amazing
Dont know how or why, but Annie and Penelope are both greyed out now
Randomly happened and i tried reloading some saves and nothing, Annie greyed out after the date night with her and penelope idk, I need tips.
Man, certainly is some choice ur doing. Search for walkthrough and see wherer you are missing it
I offer a walkthrough which is especially good at troubleshooting here, third download option.
Why did some character refuse to do sex even though they are in eternum. Would they get pregnant too in real life?
Because not every girl just wants to get fucked whenever a dude wants it. Even if it is in "Eternum" its more than a game for them, its like an alternate reality and they feel everything they do.. so it really isn't much different than sex irl. but the pregnancy thing, I'm not sure.. you got me beat there, well obviously they wouldn't get pregnant in "real life" but id like to assume they couldn't get pregnant in Eternum either.
Where should I install the translation pack
I played through the entire thing so far and I have to say that it is Epic work and the storyline is second to none, but is there a special reason for ending the way it did on such a sad cliff hanger
As I think back on the initiation rituals of the Grey Wardens and the choices they are forced to make, I find this question amusing. Especially since you probably corrupted Leliana and kept Morrigan around as well. Tip: on normal setting, play as female wizard and keep Morrigan and Wynn all the time, and switch the others out based on location.
Did you create Penelope's looks or you based it from a celebrity or someone please i need answers
I have played this game multiple times it's just that good I've been keeping up with the development. I have also played once in a lifetime so many times you have made just the best stories, I thought was impossible, it's sad that triple a game industries don't have a story this amazing, I only made an account just to comment on this game, keep up the amazing work I can't wait for more
Thank you so much <3
Senpai noticed me... 0o0 *runs screaming into other room* (for real though you're awesome keep up the amazing work)
I get an error when trying to launch the game, any idea why?
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

My first guess would be file corruption. I'd try downloading the files again.
