Hey. The game looks really good but I'm curious if there is (or ever will be) NTR in the game. It's very much a deal breaker if it is and want to know before I start if possible. Thank you for reading this :)
If anyone needs a description of the game: a porn version of Ready Player One, easiest way to describe it. Obviously, the story has its own internal logic and it's got the Caribdis tropes of 'multiple magical items to chase' and 'comedic best buddy' (my personal favourite part of both games), so if you didn't like Once in a Lifetime you won't like this.
The game is *filled* with cliches, but most of them are pretty forgivable and seem to be more for simplifying the story so even the simplest of players will understand what's going on. As with OiaL the sound cues are fun and the music matches, the models fit the characters and look great, the backgrounds are diverse, the characters are written competently and the comedy is *far* above many others in the AVN genre.
Any suggestions I have would probably be to try and launch off these cliches a bit and find your own stride. OiaL was a great experience but every 'twist' was very predictable and the plot overall was (if I'm gonna put it bluntly) trite, so if you can funnel into that it'll go from a great AVN to a great game period. Good luck in this and future endeavours!
Se que es una pregunta un tanto tonta pero en cuanto crees que el juego este completo? Y obviamente cuántas versiones tendrá por ejemplo 0.1 0.2 0.3 etc jaja
I hope it's not a bitch of me to say I didn't expect to *actually* enjoy playing? (The fact that it's the first release and I still would consider it more than a prototype or a demo? Insane.)... but I really had a great time!
The humor is so genuinely funny. Sad Chang on the first bus scene killed me. (He's genuinely an interesting character alongside the main female interests, which is rare for a... comic relief in a porn game. Please give him the girl, I love him and the bromance.) Also, the general ambience is really cool! Everything feels lively, the story doesn't seem to exist in a vacuum, if that makes sense. The music and sfx aren't cheesy either, it's genuinely pleasing.
I haven't seen your other game, which seems popular, so I guess I've been the one missing out here! Thank you and fantastic work!
Okay! First things first, I'd like to exclaim how amazing the new GUI and environment of Eternum feels. Really, when I think of Once in a Lifetime, the theme and atmosphere center around the coziness of Britain addled in with sparkling architecture design, beautiful ladies and a wonderful story line. Eternum takes those points and upgrades them to the max. The town of Kredon has this classical anime styled setting, but the immersive decor, real-life memorabilia and the creation of the characters hits with with... greater oomph.
Small points that had me smiling like a dolt:
- reference to President Stabby Mike!
- the My Hero Academia-like uniforms.
- the goddamn glorious Dark Souls cameo! Like, seriously, I LOVED your style even more when I saw that.
- the fact that the Ion Server looks like a badass reverb of Blade Runner/Ghost In the Shell.
One thing I especially enjoyed was the comedy between different events, like when that Eternum quiz was about to begin and Mr. Hernandez was going all out, but then some dude told him he just crapped his pants and needed the loo. That was so funny, I nearly fell off my bed with laughter.
And as for the character design in this game, how is it possible that you have me falling for the "side-chicks" (I liked what you did there) better than the actual MAIN HEROINES????!!!!! Don't take this the wrong way, but I seriously love you, man. You're awesome.
I know anime has me addicted like a poor bastard on meth, but these games you make are more valuable to me than all the bloody gems in the ground, mate. As I've said before, I didn't expect much when I made the decision to play these mature visual novels. However, you have changed my perception on life stupendously.
The fact that I'm ranting (quite positively, I might add) about ver. 0.1 instead of the entire GAME as a whole goes to show just how amazing your skills are. I'm looking forward to the future updates, really I am.
In fact, I can't even keep this gem of a game a secret, I need to tell PEOPLE! Just you wait, I'm posting another chapter of my fanfiction soon and the author's note will have your name and game on it.
The public craves constructive, gripping, sexy stories like this one, and here is a creator giving us just that. We need to spread the word.
But all my creepy elation aside, one character I found really attracted to was the Eternum Lady (forgive me, in my excitement I forgot her name). Her resemblance to the Androids from Nier: Automata made me swoon, not gonna lie. As for that Praetorian that shot Axel's lap-dog to Hell (quite literally), will there be repeating scene's of her kind going forward?
Take care and have a swell day/night Caribdis. Thanks for another amazing game.
Awesome! Oh, and I forgot to mention how smashing the soundtrack on this game is. Seriously, this game is going to break new records for you, my guy. Maybe after you finish the game itself, you could also compile a separate file with Eternum's entire OST? I know I would download it.
hey there first of all the game was fucking awesome, played through it in one sitting. but i had a question if I were to update to eternum 0.2 when it comes out will I lose my saves and progress?
just finished once in a life time and man the dev just keeps improving
Eternum is an improvement in every single area. Not saying that once in a life time was bad, it was really really good, but the animations in that game doesn’t even come close to beating the ones in eternum
Im not spoiling anything in this comment i even forgot that this is a nsfw game you can literally put this game on the playstore (without the nsfw scenes) and it would still be amazing, such a good story line.
I love it.
NEXT UPDATE DEV HURRY UP I CANT WAIT, you are doing such an amazing job, keep it up.
With that out of my system... this is amazing. I got halfway through and kept thinking "this is only 0.1, it has to be over soon" and it just kept going. I'm not complaining though, every sentence of it was amazing. All the characters have depth (even the ones that seem like one-off or joke characters), and the amount of animations are amazing. Every animation that showed off a new place or character I had to play several times to see all the detail.
Not to mention the references. "President Stabb" was something that I entirely forgot about until reading it here again, and it made me laugh. Even if this was a SFW visual novel, I would still have a ton of fun with it, it's just amazing in every way.
Oh, one more thing... I'm not gonna forgive you for that cliffhanger. At least not until the next update. I literally felt like yelling, I wasn't expecting it to end there. Can't wait for the next one though, good luck and god speed with the creation (:
this game is a true labour of love, once in a lifetime was a masterpiece from start to finish and i have very high hope for Eternum. Cant wait for the next update i have nothing bad to say about this game or the creator!!
I made an account just to leave a comment because that’s how great Caribdis is. I finished OLT which has set standards no other game can reach. The start of Eternum is exciting and I can’t wait to see what storylines are made. One question though, with the new animations and details will the game is there any worry about the size of the game becoming too big for itch?
Thank you! Yeah, it'll eventually become too big for itch, so at some point I'll have to publish it with external links like the last update of OiaLT, sorry about it 🙏
This is the first time I've commented on the NSFW game. This masterpiece game made me to do that, it's more than good. I love the story, the art, the unique characteristics of every characters. I'm not good at using words, but this game is just so wonderful. Can't wait to see what's coming. Keep going dude 🔥 Always supporting you
Actually at first i thought this game was boring but as the story goes by it gets more and more interesting and i like that the fact there is a vr game inside a game this game is the best💯💯💯 cant wait for the next version
So far what I feel is: This is a game first, erotic novel second.
While playing you can feel how much effort was put into making this, that twas made with heart. Lost count of how much I laughed while playing and lost track of time while doing so, since the history is so good and get you hooked.
With Eternum and OLT, tis safe to say Caribdis is a great writer - if not one of the best - out there
I played once in a life time and was hooked, finished what's released of eternum and I'm so upset... upset that I dont have more! I keep looking for something to get me by but no game on here comes close or even work. there was a glitch that I didnt want to say because I was loving it. In once in a life time when I went to the gallery and hit return it will just send me into one of the clips even of i didnt unlock it. So I was able to enjoy the parts of the game I didnt unlock. I'm trailing off I'm sorry, my point is the game is amazing and I need part 2 !
I just wanna say mate, i dont like porn games that much but youre games are really rich in story, like damnn im really looking forward to Eternum 0.2 and im playing through Once in a lifetime. Please keep up the goodwork mate, when im struggling less with money ill definitely donate, cos damn i was sad that i have to wait for the next part of Eternum. I bet youll do great tho mate
This is the best visual novel I've played... I'm very excited for the next version, I'm a Brazilian player and the fact of having Portuguese language in the game it improved a lot from my experience!!! I can't wait for play more.
As of many visual novels i have played, this is the best one yet. It has everything the games needs, special effects, charming characters, erotic scenes, good humor and fun gadgets. Cant wait for many future updates, maybe even new games.
I blame you for raising my standards in visual novels! like how do you do it!? every character is charming and doesn’t feel forced even the gag characters I can't help but smile when I see them pop up on screen, also luna best girl
Dang dude!!! This was awesome, I fell in love with your comedic timing from Once in a Lifetime, and after playing v0.1 of Eternum I am so stoked for future updates.
huge fan of your other game and i can't wait to jump into this but i'm going to wait so some updates can build up and i can play for a good long time on a first run so i can get fully immersed in the game. just wanted to drop a comment to let you know your doing a great job and the teasers look great so far.

There won't be any NTR content
Glad to hear. Thank you for your time. It's always nice to see a dev answering questions :)
這個遊戲簡直太棒了，它很完美。請問一下多久才有0.2。我已經迫不及待了
Thanks! Usually around 3 months, you can check the progress bar on my Patreon page ^^
This game is totally amazing, I love the Character designs and stories for everyone, It got me so immersed in it and I will definetly check out OinLt.
And do you have any idea of when we could be expecting the 2.0 for Eternum?
Not yet, but you can check the progress bar on my Patreon and SS pages ^^

More than OiaLt, but I don't know how many. So it'll take a long time to be completed, probably years ^^
It'll be a big game
I hope it's not a bitch of me to say I didn't expect to *actually* enjoy playing? (The fact that it's the first release and I still would consider it more than a prototype or a demo? Insane.)... but I really had a great time!

That was a wonderful review, thank you so much Kitch <3
And thank you for recommending the game too, it means the world!!
Yeah, both the praetorians and the Eternum lady (Idriel) will appear again, no worries :PP
Awesome! Oh, and I forgot to mention how smashing the soundtrack on this game is. Seriously, this game is going to break new records for you, my guy. Maybe after you finish the game itself, you could also compile a separate file with Eternum's entire OST? I know I would download it.
Sure! I can do that when it's complete
can't wait for more. 0.1 is already awesome! keep it up!
I will! Thanks ^^
hey there first of all the game was fucking awesome, played through it in one sitting. but i had a question if I were to update to eternum 0.2 when it comes out will I lose my saves and progress?
You should be able to continue your saves and progress from 0.1!
just finished once in a life time and man the dev just keeps improving
Eternum is an improvement in every single area. Not saying that once in a life time was bad, it was really really good, but the animations in that game doesn’t even come close to beating the ones in eternum
even tho 0.1 is short it has mad potential
Loving the girls so far btw <3
10/10 recommend to everyone
Thank you very much Olisan 🧡🧡
Hey man been a log time fan. I can say this is easily my most hyped game now!
Thank you!
nice start to the new game gotta say i love your humor.
Glad to hear that ^^
Im not spoiling anything in this comment i even forgot that this is a nsfw game you can literally put this game on the playstore (without the nsfw scenes) and it would still be amazing, such a good story line.
I love it.
NEXT UPDATE DEV HURRY UP I CANT WAIT, you are doing such an amazing job, keep it up.
I'll go as fast as I can, thank you!
Can you believe I forgot to comment once I finished playing the game? 🤡🤡🤡
It's a very good as of yet, my friend.
I like the plot, and I already have that (was he a CEO? I forgot) guy setting of my suspicious-meter.
Quite a shame you can't bang the guard girls tho (they are called praetorians right? I forgor 💀) they are hot.
I'm waiting for the next update!
Thank you very much!
Maybe in the future you get to know better the praetorians who knows :P

You need a rendering software like DAZ or HoneySelect and Ren'py to write the dialogues and the code. Best of luck!
This is the best visual novel I've played... I'm very excited for the next version, I'm a Brazilian player and the fact of having Portuguese language in the game it improved a lot from my experience!!! I can't wait for play more.
Thank you! Glad you liked it
