I know you're still updating this game, so I have to ask: how does the update work? When I download the updated version am I gonna be able to resume where I left off? I'd hate to restart my progress.
Nope, you just need to copy your save files. Use a file manager like zarchiver then go to your Android folder (open the app then select android folder) then go to Data, find the com.caribdis.eternum file and copy it to your desired location or folder. Hope you know what I mean 😁but if you can't find the Android folder, when you open the app, click the Selection Tab (next to the <-- left arrow, then go to device storage then scroll there u can find the Android) well hope u understand my explanation, this is for Android users to save their game saves, just click the 0 storage/emulated then click device.... Then scroll and theres the android folder on top then go to data and copy the game file there , sure u can find it 😁
Really glad I played this & Once in a Lifetime - these games have consumed my winter holiday break, once I started reading I could not put them down! If you're on this page to download the game I urge you to do so immediately!
Since I see that the good man of the house Caribdis himself sometimes reads these comments, I wanted to take a moment to leave some words of appreciation and reaction, as well as be presumptive enough to make a few possible quality of life suggestions. Feel free to read or ignore this entirely! *Spoilers follow for Once in a Lifetime, Acting Lessons, and Being a DIK*
I discovered these games through the recommendation of the Being a DIK AVN subreddit and community. Meaning absolutely no offense to present company, I do consider DrPinkCake to be perhaps the GOAT of the AVN scene (and, to be honest, maybe even the entire VN scene, including Japanese VNs.) However, I do believe it is entirely possible to argue that DrPinkCake has perhaps suffered from success - the scale of the community, the sudden influx of fans and enormous amounts of money, and the piling expectations have seemed to conflict with the man's massive ego, tendency towards micro-management, and gatekeeping. Coming from this situation, I was astounded to discover that Caribdis has not only cultivated a friendly, welcoming space (as evidenced by his gracious replies in this comment section) but keeps both Once in a Lifetime & Eternum 100% free. Wow! Nothing could have convinced me faster to become a new Patreon supporter. I am especially hopeful about Caribdis' next subscriber goal - hiring additional help. Though I certainly understand AVN creator's desire to keep their creations 100% within their total control, I think the DrPinkCake situation has shown the real downsides of this approach and I really hope that Caribdis is able to gather the resources and grow his team!!
Now some remarks about the actual game:
- Great soundtrack & VFX work - and especially in sex scenes, which can really be challenging to sound hot! My one suggestion here is that I would love to more easily be able to find out what the name of the song currently playing is. Ideally, there could be a "now playing" text bar perhaps in the pause menu, but as an easier alternative I would also appreciate a list of songs in the Credits section (especially if it's broken out by version number to make it easier to identify specific songs).
- I love the wide variety of genres that Caribdis has been able to incorporate into Eternum! The whole game just feels like he had so much fun making it which really makes me enjoy it more.
- This is my own personal subjective taste, but I personally felt that Lauren's first sex scene in Once in a Lifetime (as well as the second) was one of the hottest I have ever seen in an AVN - period. A wide variety of porn mediums are able to fulfill a certain type of erotic fantasy, namely that the MC (and the viewer by extension) is some kind of sex god who magically attracts women and has mind-bending sex without any kind of effort. If I just wanted to see some hot women fuckin and suckin without any narrative, I could turn on any porn tube in seconds. But what AVNs are able to do uniquely is present a different (arguably more 'realistic' or 'persuasive') kind of fantasy: to, through the power of storytelling and narrative, present a situation where the sex doesn't feel like acting but rather feels like speculative fiction - namely, that if this fictional world became reality and I was placed in this situation, I could actually have these sexual experiences.
In DrPinkCake's games, the narrative creates hot sex scenes through emotional choices and sacrifice - you can't achieve harem endings, so you are forced to make trade offs; main girls die and suffer, and the MC can realistically fail. I find his storytelling very compelling & emotional in this regard, which is why I view his works so highly. Caribdis has quite a different style. In both Eternum & Once in a Lifetime, the harem endings are not only quite easily achievable (even without the walkthrough, the instant feedback always lets you know when you've made a bad choice) but in some ways they feel like the default ending.
I do sometimes feel like this story structure can make the MC's story feel like 'unrealistic sex god.' For instance, Jasmine's route in OiaL is basically premised on the idea that MC's sex is so unique and incredible that she just overcomes her tsundere BS and voluntarily joins his harem. I see signs of this creeping into Eternum as well. For example, the prostitute in an early chapter breaks the rules to fuck MC and charges him nothing because his dick is so big. That's well and good and I understand that this might be an appealing fantasy for some people. For me, however, the memorable, outrageously hot sex scenes are the ones that feel 'earned' - where the MC's relationship with the girl has steadily grown; where I feel convinced that the girl genuinely likes and lusts for the MC for understandable reasons; where sex has been teased and blue balled.
I know that Caribdis has said vaginal scenes soon, and I know that more than likely Eternum will probably follow the stock AVN 'sequential pyramid' structure where every girl gets a nude scene, then every girl gets a handjob/BJ scene, then every girl gets a vaginal scene, and we end with some anal or group sex scenes at the pinnacle. This is of course tried & true, and fits well with linear narrative structure and emotional development. I go through this lengthy digression, however, to point out two takeaways I hope Caribdis keeps in mind, either for Eternum or his next VN (I must caveat here that I am sure Caribdis has his plot planned out entirely, and I 100% feel that he must stick to his artistic vision. I REALLY would not presume to give suggestions to 'change the story' or something to suit my own personal tastes.)
1) What made Lauren's initial sex scenes in OiaL so hot to me was the build up. The massage scene, where MC stopped just before sex, was absolutely crucial to anticipating the real thing. HOWEVER, more than just this build up was a second element, namely that through the dialogue there was this real element of tension or uncertainty in Lauren's first penetrative sex scene; I was totally convinced that Lauren had sex against her better judgement because she succumbed to temptation and that had MC hypothetically played it differently the scene could've 'gone either way' so to speak. Contrast this to Judie's first sex scene, which also had great buildup and was of course quite hot; nonetheless, it was premised on quite a different kind of situational fantasy, namely that Judie had already become fully seduced by MC's outrageous charms and made the decision to fuck well in advance of her first scene. Well the buildup still of course resulted in great payoff, this meant that her first scenes lacked this same element of situational ambiguity and tension.
It is really my hope that some of the first round of sex scenes in Eternum can replicate this same adrenaline-inducing tension of Lauren's scenes. In the real world, this is exactly what makes flirting so fun - that there's a real ambiguity about whether you're gonna get laid or not. Because AVNs are structured linearly, it creates definite viewer expectations of sex, and subverting this expectations + leaning into the will-they-won't-they feeling REALLY pays off for me.
2) Jumping off point #1, I also want to make the suggestion that it could be OK to progress the main girls at different rates. Not only do I think this could feel more 'natural,' in that some main girls personalities seem that they would be down to fuck pretty quickly whereas other girls seem more reserved, but I think that it could make each girl feel more unique and create exciting tension. If all girls always progress at the same rate, it can hard to be dodge the feeling that each sex scene is a reskinned version of the last. This is of course already happening to some degree in Eternum - for instance, no Luna scenes so far. Great! It just makes me anticipate future releases that much more.
Combining these points, I want to issue one final plea: please feel free to torture us viewers as much as you would like by dangling & delaying full penetrative sex scenes! I'm really hoping that one of the girls gets Lauren levels of slow burn tension - or maybe even more! If their vaginal sex scene came one 'round' late, I think it could easily be that much hotter! I want to want it bad!!
I've written way too much so I'll stop there but let me say again THANK YOU for developing such an enjoyable, free (!!) AVN and injecting some real joy into my holiday season!! Can't wait to support you for the rest of this game & beyond!
Now I've been playing Eternum for over 2 years❤️🔥
Thanks caribdis for the fun
I hope you will unveil 0.5 soon iam really excited to play it and In fact, I used to start the game from the beginning every time, that is, when I played 0.3, I started it, and also 0.4, I started from the beginning, and I never got bored, and also 0.5, I will start it from the beginning, because even though I already know everything, the game is great every time!
look forward to it soon! you can see progress updates on the discord and patreon page as well if you're curious about the progress. currently sitting at around 87% completed for 0.5 !
Hey CARIBDIS, happy new year, just finished playing Eternum and it was a solid 9/10 for me, absolutely loved the story and the game itself , but i personally felt that the sex scenes are lacking , would like to see more vaginal action for all characters , hope you consider this in future updates, adding some moaning during scenes would also be nice. Hope to play 0.5 soon, good luck and keep up the great work ! <3
edit: really love all the joke bits too , really keeps me from skipping dialogues unlike when i play other AVNs.
Just finished Once In A Lifetime, legit cried at the end. You are a great writer. Now Eternum is doing a number on me as well. The first "Scene" with Annie? The music, character development and your brilliant writing had my heart racing with excitement and nervousness. Forgot I was playing a game for a moment. Well done. Your games are the epitome of "I played it for the plot".
I think that's why you are asked if you are into pregnancy at the first of the game - Caribdis also did have pregnancy enabled in Once in A Lifetime too. :)
My English is not good. I use machine translation software. It may be difficult for you to understand, but I hope you can read it carefully.
Let me tell you something: your work has a very large fan group in China, a distant eastern country. According to the download amount, it is far more than 100000. More than 10000 people should be willing to sponsor it. eternum, Being A DIK, and Pale Carnations are very popular. Many posts discuss the plot.
The best way to recognize a good work is to sponsor it, but we cannot sponsor it because of the dictatorship. I hope you can get a link on the Hong Kong website that can pay for RMB and Hong Kong dollars. I believe that the attention and sponsorship from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong will make you find that your popularity is so strong.
With your excellent stories, we believe that Japan, Korea, China and Vietnam will be extremely popular.
Your story is very good. Would you like to ask the pornographic gallery to consider
Multi point prelude,
Multi angle lens,
Close up of multiple body movements, multiple orgasms,
I've just wanted to say , that what you are doing is amazing. Jump in quality from Once in a lifetime, which already was good , is gigantic Can't wait to see what you are gonna do next , I hope that Eternum wouldn't be your last project.
First i thought , that story was copying Ready Player One , but it's not and actually better than it . Writing is really good and not just by porn games standards . Jokes are hilarious and scary moments are creepy ( at least for me ) . Most importantly characters are believable and not just bunch of stereotypes , like it commonly is in VNs. Honestly I would play this game even if it would be non h-visual novel just for the story
I'll try to support you on Patreon when I'll have some spare money .
loved your experimentation with a "gameloop" design (many destinations on a map) in the wizard academy. Any plans to further delve into this type of mechanism? Personally I think your content is much better suited for the more novel-like design it has been using (prior to this), because i imagine it is much harder to keep a good story going with so many variables to track. That being said, im sure you would make it work and be awesome anyway.
Might want to just redownload and try again. That's usually the best way to deal with a missing file. Hope that works! You don't want to miss out on Eternum.
I freaking LOVE this game! How are you doing this good of a job on your second go?! The story is CRAZY good, and you make it feel as if the characters are real people! I can't wait for the next update (but I will anyways lol).
Thank you for this great reintroduction to VNs! Whatever you do, please don't rush this game; It's too good for that.
Going to fanboy a bit here. I stumbled across Once in a Lifetime in a Reddit post and loved it. When I saw that you had another game in development, I just knew I had to try it. And I have to say my high expectations have been exceeded!
It is clear you spent a lot more time on the technical aspects of the game. The environments, models, and textures are great, and I am loving the increased use of animations outside of the H-scenes. The music choices are inspired. The writing has improved as well. I thought you could never top Stabby Mike and Hiromi’s lines, but Chang, Chop-Chop and Jerry have me crying from laughter. The women themselves feel more fleshed out in their personalities too.
And I just have to say, you might have one of the best spins on a Ready Player One-style universe that I have ever seen. No joke, I probably like it better than the source material. Less fetishization of 80s nostalgia and a more realistic depiction of what people would use VR worlds for (a ton of sex stuff). And you actually make the outside world enjoyable! Lots of books show people using VR to escape a terrible reality rather than a fun place to explore human creativity like you do.
You have earned one more Patreon supporter, and I can’t wait to play the rest of the game! Oh and by the way, if you are interested in reading more VR literature, one book I always recommend to people is Permutation City by Greg Egan. The ending kind of drags, but the ideas explored in it are fascinating.
Dude, best game out here hands down, I played about 50 different ones with half of that being similar in graphics, but the plot and music choices are prefect and I wouldn't mind waiting 4 years for this game to be finished. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME!!!!
She's a character you meet briefly while playing Eternum for the first time with Annie. Try replaying that section and choose to explore when Annie leaves you alone for a bit.

It's a normal thing for a phone user tha sema thing happened to me but not for only annie and nancy It happens to all the characters
I know you're still updating this game, so I have to ask: how does the update work? When I download the updated version am I gonna be able to resume where I left off? I'd hate to restart my progress.
If you play on PC, just download it and continue your saves. They will all still be there
Okay. Good to know. Thanks for responding.
so you mean play on Android will lost the saves:(
HOPE THIS COULD Help 😁
Thank you very much
Really glad I played this & Once in a Lifetime - these games have consumed my winter holiday break, once I started reading I could not put them down! If you're on this page to download the game I urge you to do so immediately!

You made very good points, and I’ll definitely keep them in mind (the girls progressing at different rates is already part of the plan)
Cheers!
The first comment in 2023🦦
I deserve an award for this :)
Happy new year🦦🦦
Now I've been playing Eternum for over 2 years❤️🔥
Thanks caribdis for the fun

look forward to it soon! you can see progress updates on the discord and patreon page as well if you're curious about the progress. currently sitting at around 87% completed for 0.5 !
hey wanted to ask you if there is many bdsm fun in the game?
iam not sure what bdsm means But I can assure you that the game is wonderful in the full sense of the word and full of fun
Thank you very much!!
Hey CARIBDIS, happy new year, just finished playing Eternum and it was a solid 9/10 for me, absolutely loved the story and the game itself , but i personally felt that the sex scenes are lacking , would like to see more vaginal action for all characters , hope you consider this in future updates, adding some moaning during scenes would also be nice. Hope to play 0.5 soon, good luck and keep up the great work ! <3
edit: really love all the joke bits too , really keeps me from skipping dialogues unlike when i play other AVNs.
Vaginal scenes will soon come, it needed the build-up
Just finished Once In A Lifetime, legit cried at the end. You are a great writer. Now Eternum is doing a number on me as well. The first "Scene" with Annie?

Happy New Year 🎉 ✨️
Hope we can get the update soon.
HNY!
Happy New Year, Caribdis! 🥳
HNY!!
if theres a chance of girls getting knocked up is there a game map im just too early to use or is hundred percent linear we go where you say we go?
I think that's why you are asked if you are into pregnancy at the first of the game - Caribdis also did have pregnancy enabled in Once in A Lifetime too. :)
what about a game map im coming from harem hotel and corrupted kingdoms which have game maps to "explore"
Eh those are sandbox games…not the same genre as Eternum.
Yes, it will be possible

Your story is very good. Would you like to ask the pornographic gallery to consider
Multi point prelude,
Multi angle lens,
Close up of multiple body movements, multiple orgasms,
Coupled with some slight groans BGM?
Thank you very much!
I’m glad the game is so appreciated in China
你好 Caribdis!（hi，Caribdis!）

Hi carbids, I wanna ask, when can you estimate the next release to be? I can't wait after that cliffhanger. It's been months :').
It’ll be released (starting with higher tiers) on my Patreon and SubscribeStar this January! Public release a few weeks later here, already February.
I’ll announce the definitive release dates before that.
game=amazing
music choice=amazing
never stop making these games please
Not planning to stop anytime soon!
I've just wanted to say , that what you are doing is amazing. Jump in quality from Once in a lifetime, which already was good , is gigantic Can't wait to see what you are gonna do next , I hope that Eternum wouldn't be your last project.

That means a lot, thank you so much, Skulka!
Couldn't agree more, this man possesses incredible talent!! Can't get enough of his work
Also loved it and looking forward to more.
loved it cant wait for more

That being said, im sure you would make it work and be awesome anyway.
There will be more parts like that, but the main game will remain being linear (without free-roam) as until now
i didnt pass the tutorial and im loving this game! great work
Glad to hear that!
Really good job on this game! Its seriously one of my favorites AVN's out there. Do you know how much content 0.5 will bring?
Caribdis has said that Eternum .5 will already contain more content than Once in a Lifetime, with plenty more to come later. Can't wait.
It’ll be the biggest update so far (even more than 0.3), so you can expect a few hours of new content!
hell yea!!!! keep up the good work
I just want to say, the games you make are spectacular.
Thank you <3
help me plz i can't start the game because some system error "api-ms-win-crt-convert-l1-1-0.dill is missing". Thank!
Might want to just redownload and try again. That's usually the best way to deal with a missing file. Hope that works! You don't want to miss out on Eternum.
Thank you very much bro! i will try this
do you have any measure, i can't fix that annoying error:(

so many references to once in a life time
It goes both ways. Try to get the secret ending in Once in a lifetime, and you'll understand.
So glad I also played Once in a Lifetime.
excuse me but why is luna greyed out in the relationship menu? also the game is great i love it!
You lost her path. Download the walkthrough to know where you could have lost too many points with her
I've finished playing Eternum now, I'm impressed with the game's story. Is there any date for version 0.5? I'm extremely excited!
Probably mid-late January on my Patreon and subscribestar! (and then free here after a few weeks as always)
这是我玩过的最棒的欧美slg游戏！非常非常非常地喜欢！剧情好！三观正！人物漂亮！BGM也很配！虽然一开始我是冲着人物漂亮来的！但没想到它竟是如此的优秀！其中的男主牵着露西的手对抗幻想，亚历克斯小时候与奶奶的对话“我的白马王子.......”，佩内洛普小时候与南希之间的相互体谅，达莉亚与男主二人在沙滩的对话，都是多么的美好，如此的动人，让人如此的回味无穷。感谢作者创作的优秀作品！希望您能再接再厉继续创造出更棒的内容！
is there news or devlog for 0.5?
Dev logs are posted in their patreon.
Can also monitor regular progress percentage updates on discord and subscribestar.
I have this on fire tablet, the menu buttons at the bottom of the screen drop out/become invisible, is there a quick fix to get them back ?
There should be an option in Preferences
havent gotten past the intro and i love this game wtf dev team be going crazy
Thanks!
I freaking LOVE this game! How are you doing this good of a job on your second go?! The story is CRAZY good, and you make it feel as if the characters are real people! I can't wait for the next update (but I will anyways lol).
Thank you for this great reintroduction to VNs! Whatever you do, please don't rush this game; It's too good for that.
I won’t! Thank you very much!
Merry Christmas “The Founder”!😉 The same wish for you to have a happy holiday and a wonderful new year!❤️ Looking forward to 0.5 released 🤩
Merry Xmas!
Could you please help me, I cant join the discord server. How should I do this?
Im getting this error when I try to view any of the girls' statuses. (Edit: love the game by the way! <3)

Never mind, downloaded the 0.4.0 instead of 0.4.1 and it works fine. Excited to get to the new parts of the game now!
Glad you liked it!
are you planing to continue game "once in a lifetime"?
i really like this game so much
I won’t, sorry, OiaLt is complete. after Eternum I’ll work on a new game
i download new 0.4 update, and after i try to load with my old save file ( v0.3 ) the save files is crashed with renpy error
is there way to fix it ?
Going to fanboy a bit here. I stumbled across Once in a Lifetime in a Reddit post and loved it. When I saw that you had another game in development, I just knew I had to try it. And I have to say my high expectations have been exceeded!
It is clear you spent a lot more time on the technical aspects of the game. The environments, models, and textures are great, and I am loving the increased use of animations outside of the H-scenes. The music choices are inspired. The writing has improved as well. I thought you could never top Stabby Mike and Hiromi’s lines, but Chang, Chop-Chop and Jerry have me crying from laughter. The women themselves feel more fleshed out in their personalities too.
And I just have to say, you might have one of the best spins on a Ready Player One-style universe that I have ever seen. No joke, I probably like it better than the source material. Less fetishization of 80s nostalgia and a more realistic depiction of what people would use VR worlds for (a ton of sex stuff). And you actually make the outside world enjoyable! Lots of books show people using VR to escape a terrible reality rather than a fun place to explore human creativity like you do.
You have earned one more Patreon supporter, and I can’t wait to play the rest of the game! Oh and by the way, if you are interested in reading more VR literature, one book I always recommend to people is Permutation City by Greg Egan. The ending kind of drags, but the ideas explored in it are fascinating.
Thank you so much, limbardo!!! For both your support and your review
I’ll check out Permutation City!
Thank you!
Man, i can't wait for the new update
Dude, best game out here hands down, I played about 50 different ones with half of that being similar in graphics, but the plot and music choices are prefect and I wouldn't mind waiting 4 years for this game to be finished. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME!!!!
Thank you very much!!
just finished this game first this was amazing second I didnt meet the blue haired girl who is she?
She's a character you meet briefly while playing Eternum for the first time with Annie. Try replaying that section and choose to explore when Annie leaves you alone for a bit.
