this is going to be sorta long winded so the TL:DR version is amazing game I love it
kinda blown away by the game it's incredible attention to detail and breath of genres you can play it's amazing getting to see horror and sci-fi thriller that you don't often see, the choices are slightly predictable but rewarding all the same the attention to consistency is really insane though the characters are really believable (as far as h game character can be anyway) and interesting chang is one of the first best guy friend characters I've actually enjoyed in a VN H game and honestly I couldn't put it down im not honestly one for going for the multiple endings and routes too often there really has only been one other game that made me want to replay it like this, only slight criticism is that with in regards to (not to spoil it for those who might read this comment before playing) elf princess she makes a remark when you first meet her about the age difference and how humans are mortal and at the party she seems to break character a bit for me with the infant joke as it was established atleast to me, she was aware of the problems, other than that pretty much every joke lands and it's honestly a surprise I'm typically pretty nitpicky when it comes to stuff like this but only felt like that one time in the several hours I spent playing through the game, the amazing character writing is above and beyond and I can feel your passion for making amazing content and the inspiration you took from the things you enjoyed, the genuine references to things the time and attention to character righting the amazing subtle meta jokes like the favorite movie question, it's a great work and again only the second that I ahvent played that made me want to go through and try all the paths.
I just played through once in a lifetime I couldn't put it down untill I finished everything it's crazy how much work you put into your stories and it has made me even more excited to see where this game is headed, I give you the biggest praise a gamer could give with these next words, your game made me want to play and I didn't for one second consider doing anything else with my time.
I will definitely be sending you support as soon as I can, you have made a lifelong fan.
Caribdis, I tried to join discord (and was unable for some reason) so I made an account just to thank your hardwork. 3D scenes you can get anywhere (yours are great) but this kind of VN we can't. I would patreon you if it wasn't so expensive in my country, but I'll share the word and hope for you sucess in this area. The andromeda part on 0.4 was the first time I think my choice can alter the gameplay bigtime (like 2 endings), hope to see more of that in the future! Best wishes.
This game is awesome. I originally came because I was like "ooh, a bunch of cute girls!" but in the end, I stayed for the story. Thank you very much for the work you put behind your projects, Caribdis, I really appreciate it!
Caribdis is a freaking genius. Oialt is one of the greatest games ever. Needs a movie and a book. Just started eternum and can already tell that it's going to be a blast. I doubt they can make a character better than stabby Mike, but I certainly hope that they tried. Android version image quality isn't quite on par with oialt but I expect it will improve as development progresses.
Cold reboot fixed whatever was causing the image fuzz problem. And wow... having made it further in the game, my compliments to the background artist.
Now the only bugs are that the menu is missing and cannot be re-enabled by options(need bluetooth keyboard to comfortably access menu), and a crash checking affection scores. A failure starting with:
file "renpy/common/00gamemenu.rpy", line 173, followed by 3 game/bios line errors and a "NameError; name 'BrightnessMatrix' is not defined. The full trace back indicates a number of "renpy/display/core.py" line issues
Your extremely fast response to my comment was as appreciated as at was unexpected.
One in a Lifetime should have cost money, and this game should be free. Then I think you would have made more money, because Once in a Lifetime is a much better game.
I would say that this game is definately the BEST among all that I had browsed on itch! Thanks for all those fascinating stories(and of couse, girls) that you brought to us Caribdis! Actually I was quite at loss when finding that the storyline was cut up just in the middle of the party. Anyway, I'm still looking forward to the next update!(which I assume would be like three months later? haha)
Hey Caribdis, I think, I found a bug. If you log into Eternum Server Andromeda for the Date with Annie, the Mute All Check Box doesn´t mute the Portal Sound.
Hey, Caribdis, are there by any chance ways to help you translate the game into other languages? Russian in particular, as it happens to be one other language I know:D
found this from ad in Once In a Lifetime (which was really very good!) & hoping for same caliber
played through as far as 0.4 goes & it is incredible. Using the VR premise allows wide variety in costuming & environments, but is also tied in to the story/plot in a way that leaves wanting more of the mystery revealed.
Oh and one minor request I'd like to make is to have naming the save files an optional feature, rather than on by default. It's just adding another click for me.
Eternum is amazing, and I'm (im)patiently awaiting further updates. What I really wanted to say though is that I went back and tried Once in a Lifetime, and being honest, I was kind of down on it at first. It has a slow start, but god damn it has one of the best pay offs for a VN if you go for the good ending. They polished damn near everything up from it moving forward onto Eternum, and I cannot wait to see what they put out in the future. Thank you for all of your efforts, Caribdis. If I had a million bucks, I'd easily want to give you half, if that'd help up the quality and speed of updates.
Hey caribdis can you please help me i played 0.2 and 0.3 but i can't install 0.4 when i click on the apk it says there was a problem while parsing the package
So excited to know that 0.4 has been published since I last played 0.3 3 months ago, thank you for always insisting on perfecting this artwork🥰Besides, it'll be so nice of you if you could show me where I can get the 0.4 Chinese translation patch❤
both this game and once in a lifetime were life-changing experiences for me and I am eagerly awaiting v0.5. also, idk if its an issue with my phone, but some scenes were laggy af (like 3fps) on my samsung galaxy s20 fe while others ran perfectly. on pc I had no such issues tho. keep up the good work caribdis!
Thank you!
It’s a problem of the device, not because it’s a “bad” one, but some android models experience stuttering for some reason I can’t discover, sorry about it
I just made an account to leave a comment because I felt like I needed to praise you on both this and OIALT. Both of them are simply great VNs and I can't wait for 0.5 to get released. I am not expecting you to do this, since I am not even really supporting you financially (I would if I could), but I would love if you could somehow implement some more romance. The way you approached most sex interactions thus far feels kind of forced. One example for a future scene I would like to be in the game is one with Penelope. If you remember, after drinking the potion of truth at the potion tower she mentioned that she wanted someone to cuddle with at night. Also, I think she is the only character that hasn't really done anything with the protagonist, but clearly has feelings for him (Literally visible in like 5 different scenes). So, in my humble opinion, this is the way you should approach something with her. I acknowledge that 0.5 will probably be mainly based around Luna and the release date is pretty soon, so even if you decide to implement something like that, I don't really expect it to come with 0.5. I would really appreciate if you could reply with your opinion on all of this (holy shit that's a long comment).
Hey Cari this is the first time I have created a account just to add a comment but I believe that this game is worth the time. I have completed 0.4,, 4 times and I still love your work. I don't know how you made it possible but to put EXELENT PLOT, HIGH QUALITY GRAPHICS, INTRIGUING STORY, EYE CATCHING ANIMATION in a single game is simply not less than a miracle. Excellent work really appreciate that.
Believe me I have played many VN's but I found yours the best.
Eagerly waiting for 0.5 hoping for the update to come soon.
is the secret ending in once in a life time canon? does that mean that the main character from OIALT is the same person as eternum's. im very curious and interested!
Hello brother, I am a player from China, your game is very attractive to me, and even resonates with me after playing, I even created my own account to comment on you, I just want to say that you are A good game creator, and the game you created is also excellent, I hope you can make this game or the story have a good ending, I will always support you.
This is also the first time I have signed up for web.Your visual novels are so fascinating to me.I hope you can release your game on some game platform like steam.So I can support you!Emphasize again your visual novel is really amazing!
Thanks!
Unfortunately, I can’t release it on Steam because of copyright issues with the software I use, so I have to rely on Patreon or SubscribeStar (or itch) for support
created an acc just to comment as well! I think that this is honestly a beautiful story and an incredible visual novel! Alex's story in particular may have pulled at my heartstrings a little bit too...
hey cari, i know you get this alot but i have to say that this is my fav VN of all time. you truly are the goat. i think you mentioned in the earlier stages of game dev that eternum would have 9 main girls, now that we're at 7, do you plan on adding more? would love to have some asian representation in the game, a vyvanle type character (pink hair). thanks for reading cari and keep up the astounding work!
thank you so much for responding cari! i know nova and luna are the focus of .5 but is there any chance we get a dalia scene too? and might this be your biggest update to date?

The only reason I'm uninstalling this is to make room on my phone, but I'm definitely reinstalling next update!
0.4 really got me at the end, there, and I'm waiting for more with bated breath.
Based on your current progress, I'm assuming early Q1 of next year might be the next intended release date, but take your time to make this gem shine!
Keep up the amazing work!
Will try my best!
Thank you so much!
Holy cow, I never cared about this style of game until now. Seriously can't wait for the next installment. When is .5?
Currently at 75% done

Really enjoyed to the end of 0.4 - what a way to leave us hanging! Can't wait for the rest! Keep up the great work.
I will! TYVM!

Eternum image quality is far better than OiaLt though, you should check that everything is working properly on your device

One in a Lifetime should have cost money, and this game should be free. Then I think you would have made more money, because Once in a Lifetime is a much better game.
Both are free
Yes, but will it be free when completed, like Once in a Lifetime is?
Of course
I loved this theme... Sekai... I'll download Once in a Lifetime because of your comment.
Donated another $50.00nz. Sorry it has to be like this, as that I cant do monthly subs.
Damn!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for your generous donation, muzashi!!
it really means a lot! 😍😍😍
In that vein, I now own 2 copies of Eternum. I am willing to donate one to someone if this is an option on itch....
Its free to download so i dont see the use of that.
I still donated too, its just so a good story.
Will we have sex scenes with Idriel？：D
(=^▽^=)
237,4% sure it will be
I would say that this game is definately the BEST among all that I had browsed on itch! Thanks for all those fascinating stories(and of couse, girls) that you brought to us Caribdis!

Thank you so much!!
Next version is currently at 70% done!
Nothing i write can convey what the flashbacks with Alex and Penelope did to me. They were real. You sir had NO right...
Thank you
Glad you liked them <3
Hey Caribdis, I think, I found a bug. If you log into Eternum Server Andromeda for the Date with Annie, the Mute All Check Box doesn´t mute the Portal Sound.
I’ll check it out, thank you
Привет) а есть патч для русского языка?
Судя по всему, нет

Есть, на сайте byrut.org можешь скачать. Там же кстати есть apk на андроид, в том же торренте.
found this from ad in Once In a Lifetime (which was really very good!) & hoping for same caliber

Thank you very much! Glad you liked it as well
Oh and one minor request I'd like to make is to have naming the save files an optional feature, rather than on by default. It's just adding another click for me.
It’s already optional
Top-right corner in the saves screen
Oh okay. I must have missed it. I looked under preferences.
Eternum is amazing, and I'm (im)patiently awaiting further updates.

Holy shit, actual voice acting now!
Wait.... what? There's no voice acting haha

Happy to hear that
The menu button always disappear
is the secret ending in once in a life time canon? does that mean that the main character from OIALT is the same person as eternum's. im very curious and interested!
No, it’s not, the harem ending is canon.
That’s just a reference :)
I'm confused is there ntr in this game
No
