Eternum

Wow. I’ve played through many Ren’py games before but this one is by far the best yet.

The storylines are fascinating, interesting and while somewhat derivative (Ready Player One combined with a couple other fun premises), which is totally fine as I love those stories as well, and putting them into an exciting H-game format is even better.

The animations, coupled with your sound effects and music, just *chef’s kiss*

I actually had to come here to place a review purely based upon this one scenario in the game (no spoilers, don’t worry) when your group first arrives in the Ogygia server and the encounter there. That? The whole thing from start to finish is so goddamned enthralling that I just had to come throw flowers at your feet for a second, is all. I’m still replaying that over and over on auto-play just to sit back and enjoy it as it should be. Headphones, full sound, everything.

Very well done, and I not only look forward to the completion of this story, but anything you end up creating after this as well. Cheers!

been on the game for a few years now, the game is still great but dont let us Luna lovers hanging 😭

I’ve been in your community for a few years now and I’m so glad you are finally getting the recognition you deserve, I can’t believe your server already has 26K members, just yesterday I thought you only had a few hundred players and members and it’s been such an enjoyable journey with you and your games. You are such a good story writer and creator and I’m so glad you are doing what you love man! Best wishes for the future!

I can count on 1 hand how many games i actually get mad when i finish the new chapter...  this is one of my favorites and im always looking forward to the next chapter.  The story and characters are so well written.  

This entire game makes me ask the question of what is true in the world. Like a simple glance can change a scene and cause me to second guess a decision. I have to wonder what turns the story will have next. Not to mention it makes me wonder if the 'game' is really a game and not just a bunch of different dimensions strung together. It's worse that my exact thought is also brought up in game. I feel like a conspiracy theorist. But hey, a good game should make you question it's reality out of intrigue for what it all means in my opinion. Can't wait for 0.5 to come around and put my heart in my throat with that meeting.

There is no way.. there is no way that this game..  literally made me reconsider life. It caught me so off guard, the references, the humor, the storytelling, the transitions?!? And dare I say the heart touching scenes were hitting?!?

The first piece that made me go back and laugh was Mikaela’s intro. When I saw the DS reference, I was like wtf just happened? Did I just laugh? And then from there, I was just engrossed by the story. Every slide made me say there’s no wayy this game can surprise me and Boom! Im invested in a fake heist scenario, horror level,  Warthog academy, and basically ALL of the “arcs.” 

But aside the great story/plot, the characters are soo good. I did not expect to remember these characters better than shows I already know. Not just the girls, they’re a bonus, I mean chop chop is fckin hilarious! Jerry dying gag! And each girl’s personality! No wayy I am hooked to this!? And the FUCKING MUSIC SLAPPPS! Caribdis your music taste is GODLYY! The comedic tone and music always hype me up.

0.5 needs to come NOWWW!! Caribdis great job!

I love you and i love your beautiful game everything is perfect in this game 

Hey, just come to say that I finished your game and love it soooooooo much. Can't wait to experience the 0.5.

Hi, I just finished playing this game and absolutely loved it. The ending made me so annoyed because I was so heavily invested in the story and right at a big plot twist the game just ends (trying to not give spoilers). I was only annoyed because I got so invested in the game due to it's quality. This game is incredible and the story is absolutely amazing! I saw this game was version 0.4 and had never heard about it before so I thought there would be very little content and decided to play it in the meantime whilst waiting for an update of another game I like to come out and thought nothing of this, yet it turned out to be one of my favorite games i've ever played. I love the VR and worldbuilding of the story, I love the dark powers and mystery thrown in there, and of course I love the girls too. Thank you for making this game and I hope you keep releasing updates and stick with it until the end!

If i download 0.4 will my progress from 0.3 transmit into it automatically? Btw you guys made AWSOME job. Excellent. One of the best atmospheres i've seen in games. You guys have to be proud for this.

Hey buddy, I just downloaded the new version, and had v3 still on my phone, saved right before the end. Downloaded the new one but won't install. Keeps saying "app that is not installed as pack seems to be invalid" or so translated from Dutch. Hope you can help me, and thanks in advance!

did u know, that in my language "Luna" means "moon"? funny. hey, just read my nonsense below. pls.

ok, created this acc only to leave the comment for u, cari. played this game since 0.3, when war wasn't in progress. sorry for my political comment(only 1 sec, continue reading), I'm from Russia and I hate my country, u know. don't wanna live here. so, because of these "actions" of "my most favourite country" i can't buy the game or I can't donate to u... sorry, but I've played 0.4 downloaded it for free. I didn't want to do it, I just can't buy it. I'll donate u a lot, if I can... If my student's 50$ count, xd. oh... I started it not for monologue like this, lol. I just wanna say that I love your game so much and it so happened that tomorrow I'll kill myself :). no doubt that this game was the best single-player game that I've played since all my life. u may think that I'm pathetic, weak. but... hey, cari, I love your game and goodbye. (BTW, my actions, which I described at the end, do not border on your game. all events just coincided. I'm glad I found out about this game and about you.) soooooo, see ya, I guess. how even I can  say "goodbye" for the first and for the last time at the same time? :)) oke, see ya in eternum, one time.

the most exciting game I've ever played, a very cool plot with horror, just a bomb 100/10 and please, someone, give a link to the Discord group, and it's not a working link, I'll be grateful in advance, thank you!

I registered just to make a comment.

This game is a masterpiece, storytelling is great and sometimes very funny. It isn't the same nsfw game where you fuck everything all the time, it has a plot far better than those hollywood movies and far more interesting. You can find the hand of mr. Caribdis, as he has his own style of 'breaking the ice', and it's visible that he loves making these games. 

Thank you for making another masterpiece, the only way I could be more impressed is if at some point Stabby Mike makes an appearance :)

I wish I could make a fandom page for this. But I don't get the time to do any of these things at all, but saved five days of my time to play this. Ah, a NSFW game that doesn't have you ****king everyone right at the beginning. And the branching is brilliant! There is so much to miss on. By the way, what is the maximum number of "hearts" you can get for a character for v0.4? I got 4 hearts with Nancy, and 3 with everyone with Dalia. It will be weird if you can make every character pregnant, feels... uh. Whatever. Keep doing what you are doing! God bless!

DUUUDE! Just finished 0.4 and anxiously awaiting the next release. Outstanding work. I've done three of these visual novels, two of them being yours, and I have to say that the quality, storytelling .. all of it is unmatched. Keep up the good work. 

i just got to the part where it tells you more is to come in 0.5 and i haven't seen the girl with blue hair like in the pictures, is she not in the game yet or did i just miss something at one point.

Gonna be Honest was here for the Adult stuff but gosh damn the Story is profound, obviously it's not done yet but that's beside the point, the story, the characters, the romance and the bromance, the whole mystery surrounding eternum or the mystery of the protagonist, it's just *chiefs kiss* amazing, completely forgotten that this was an for Adults Game.

Oh and let's not forget the music it's a spot on.

Awesome game mate!

Storyline, Story telling, character development, comedic relief, graphics, creativity are all so on point it's actually quite fantastic. As someone who does not usually play these types of games I'm really pleasantly surprised!

My only feedback (if you are taking it): It would be good to see the bodies of the girls a little more diverse. 

e.g. Annie is meant to be the cute little gamer girl, however she still looks very curvy with her tits/butt. Likewise, Penny who has the 'best tits' in the game looks similar to Dalia/Nancy; and IMO it takes away from her.  My personal opinion is making the bodies a little more different would make them much more unique and more specific to the characters!

This game is a masterpiece, I've played many games of this variety (porn, I was only here for the porn) but this one takes the cake.  As previously mentioned, I downloaded this game cause the story seemed passable and the scene quality looked good, I've now found myself skipping through some sex scenes to see what comes next in the story.  I just finished the game and cant wait for .5, keep up the good work.  (I made an itch.io account just so I could write this comment)

Hey caribdis when we go to Alex's house for the first time to do the project I selected all the options (tattoos, family, hobbies, religion, say something, and hug her back) but after the line "goodbye Orion" she is greyed out is this a bug or intended?(also I love the game!)

Edit: also need a delete save button or something for when extra saves get in the way.

Hey Caribdis, the next update is close?

What a MASTERCLASS in storytelling.  The pacing, the comedic timing, and the very deliberate order from one scene to the next. I found Alex's struggle so relatable and her flashback that followed after hit a very deep emotional note for me. I just came for a low investment AVN to play through but damn your story has got me so hooked that the explicit scenes are honestly just a little bonus. I really hope that you eventually make it bigger with your stories in the future because damn you absolutely deserve it.

this game is just very good, if they were nothing with porn or everything, it could still be very good, i'd like a game with this much imagination

Greetings, just wanna say, take your time making this masterpiece, your storytelling, character/plot development ,  humourous lines and a bit compelling music arrangements in the scenes are good as the same in (Once in the lifetime). Nah fam, saying it's the same is quite rude. It's absolutely amazing!. I see you improve way above from previous game.

You on the journey to be one of top ten AVN creator of all time. I've played almost 70+ avn games and I dare say, you are on my top 3 easily. The 🐐 sir. 

Hello there, just created this account to get something out of my chest. First of all i wanna thank Caribdis for this lovely experience.

I came in touch with AVN's once in while in very lonely times i had in the past and played them just for that one reason, you all know that. A week ago i had the pleasure to play "Leap of Faith" for that same reason again, but that story filled me up with so many emotions some times i couldnt even get a boner when it came to the explicit. So this game changed my view and made me a fan of these games, but now its rather for the story and i take the the scenes as a welcomed bonus.

So finally coming to this game, I wanna say the one negative thing I have to say really quick, before i come to my praisings. Even tho I don't care really much about the sex scenes anymore, these were the one who left me the least excited, because they took me out of the immersion. The MC's packing is a bit overwhelming, but thats not the deal breaker. It's that you have these women you are bonding with and building up sympathie and I just feel bad in my case how the MC decides to treat them.. Mabe it's just my perspective, or rather my taste, but i really don't like how the girls get trated while being intimate with the MC. Especially for Annie it doesnt seem fitting getting treated like this and also enjoying it so much and going with it feels like a break of character. So this would be my only suggestion to better up this game, since i got hooked all the time and got ripped out of enjoyment in this very parts where you should feel most of it.

Anyways coming to the good part finally: In the very beginning of the game i had some kind of medi core expectations, it took some time til the world got a hook on me and the concept of Eternum really started to show all of its beautiful sights. And there are PLENTY of them so far. This whole setting really is sandbox for creativity and you surely did a great job so far with all these different and beautiful settings. You just never know what comes next and always are thrilled by the next scenario you land in. Impossible for me to tell a favourite place or scenario, they just all are bangers.

When it comes to the caracters and design it's an absolutely wonderful world too. From the looks to the personality they are all are unique and lovable in one way or another. When it comes to deciding in the end to one specific girl my gamer heart probably gets broken.

Last words of my roman will be about the writing and story itself, which of all the great perks that games gives you is for me the strongest one. I played all for 4 episodes in 2 days because i just couldn't stop. It really gave me joy all the time to follow the stroy and all the well written dialogues in it. It's funny as hell most times, but can also be deep or even sad when it has to be. Timing to catch some emotions always seems right and when shit starts to get messy be sure to be treated with joy so you won't be left behind with any bad feelings.

Sorry for this many words, it's my way to pay credit for what is a masterpiece to come in my opinion. Can't wait for the next episodes. So Thank you very much for this great experience 

Caribdis

[SPOILER ALERT]

Beautiful game! we played the game together with ma boys and loved it however we came across a possible plot hole.  It is possible to die from the alien egg in the space station. After that even though our game inventory is reset according to game rules, we still kept the gem of doom and were able to go to the meeting afterwards. We're not sure if we missed something or not but thought it should have your attention. 

P.S: we think your game is so unique that even though me and ma boys tried other visual novels like this one, none of them gave the same level satisfaction and sense of quality.

Will we have sex scenes with Calypso?

bro i love your games

Honestly. I didn't expect to enjoy the storyline as much as I did. The humor is also pretty spot on! This is the first time while playing these games where I've actually stayed for the story. Mixing every geeks dream with this insane MMO with an adult visual novel is a pretty much the perfect recipe with the right writing. You deserve every bit of support you get.

I only got to 0.2, but i'm curious - do you have a window for 0.5? I'm just excited to keep going and people keep mentioning that cliffhanger!

edit: I have to thank you for that skip option. I did lose some progress after forgetting to save constantly so I just want to tell you how much I appreciate that.

is there any way i can go from my pc to my laptop and still play on the same save?

omg i felt chills down my spine when i heard Interstellar soundtrack😍 it was so exciting, you have really good taste in movies!

Hello mister Caribdis,

 I'm a French studient in tech, I've been playing OIALT and Eternum (I've actually bring some of my friends to play them too!) 

Because they are an absolute masterpiece, I've never seen a game that is as well made as yours in ages. 

The lore, the visuals, the sounds, and the HUD. Absolutely everything is astonishing! I'm a big fan of Nova and my girlfriend is a fan of Luna. 

As I said before, I'm French. so I've been translating your games into French, I would like to ask if you're interested in getting those translations. 

Yours truly, your biggest fan, Esora.

(ps: as a studient i dont have much money but i want to support you as i can! tell me what is the minimum i can give to be hable to see your post on patreon, like the 3last for exemple, i want those wallpaper! please ! )

i hope you will have a very good day! :)

@caribdis, incredible game, great song choices and character development, would like to see more plots exploring Penelope and nova though.
