I love this game! Not only are the girls hot and the sex steamy, but the story is actually quite entertaining. If you took the sex out, I'd still play this game.
He isnt officialy revealing that so as not to get locked into a set amoumt of updates etc but its not halfway yet. We estimate we are between 25 and 30 percent complete now.
Thanks for the kind words! Everyone involved especially caribdis works very hard on it. However its not released outside of patreon/subscribestar yet, so if you played it outside of those its leaked/pirated, for future reference. If its not on one of those or here on itch its not legit. Public release is Feb. 14th and will include some fixes.
Well, Eternum is in the same world, takes place around 13 years later give or take a year. As far as a direct game with that cast in that time period, that is not planned. Its a complete game with a wrapped ending and Eternum is the focus now. After Eternum Cari has mentioned he would like to make another new game.
I have to say you spoiled 95% of the AVNs on this site for me. Now that I have experienced this, I just can't go back.
The graphics are exceptional. The environments are beautiful and rich and so diverse and suited to the theme of the server. The bodies are sculpted with a degree of realism (and beauty) that is simply stunning. I must say that the first interaction with Nancy blew my mind because of how great and realistic she looked.
And that's only the optics. The whole story is gripping and you develop a genuine releationship with the characters along the way. But the best was when I relaized tht every time you visit a different server in Eternum, the whole feel of the game changes as if the game switched genres to accomodate the server. That's hard to do, and even harder to incorporate so effortlessly that it took me some time to realize this.
This is easliy in my top 5 AVN ever, even if there is not yet a ton of content.
I truly do hope, my guy Caribdis gets the support wich will allow him to publish just the same quality at a higher rate. Even if this was a childfriendly VN, I'd have played it, thats how well most parts are written.
Going any faster really isnt possinle. Cari already works like a madman and everyone involved works hard on it. For avns this update frequency is already quite high. More support does mean more animations..more custom asset possibilities..music..etc though so all support matters. Glad you're enjoying it.
Ah well, atleast that makes sense, though a man can hope. Do keep up the great work however. I suppose this makes me read more often whilst I enjoy doing so!
I agree... there was a dialogue like that during the party, but there is no such option when you go to the locker room....either way, you need to follow Penelope.
It doesnt make sense in the narrative for a scene with her. It was never supposed to be an option. It says in the dialog he isnt going to do it just after she proposes it. However something is in the works to happen if you to go to her in the public release. Which is by the way 2/14. If youve played it thus far outside of patreon or subscribstar its pirated. Those and itch are the only official releases, for future ref.
I downloaded because of the visuals but stayed for the story. The story and the comedy is AMAZING. If the story and intrigue gets even better in the final product I would buy it for my friends that dont even play visual novels as it is on par with monster girl quest on story and charscter development. It would be better if there are voice actors, it will cost more to make buy i would still buy it at 60$ or even 100$ its that good.
The sex scenes are a bit lacking in content it needs more positions in a scene because it just looks like a loop at times. The character models are really good. I really like where nova/jinx climbed up the table seamlesly in 0.5, I hope there are more content for each characters.
I really like the horror and mystery segments as it gives weight and seriousness to the story
10/10 as of 0.5 I hope the story and the humor gets even better
Glad youre enjoyijng it. For an indie game VA is usually not possible its very expensive and adds massive amounts of developement time.
As far as sex scenes as the relationships progress those will as well. This is a story and character first focused game.
Please refrain from posting spoilers about 0.5 it's not been publicly released yet. Outside of patreon and subscribestar anything else out right now is pirated. Public release is 2/14.
Just got done playing 0.5, and I must say, this is one of the best stories I've ever played, don't get me wrong, I love the porn stuff, but the story is what really makes this game stand out to me. Keep up the amazing work, can't wait to see what 0.6 has in store.
<3. Thanks for the kind words. Def stay tuned you aint seen nothing yet.
For future reference, until the game updates here on itch its only officially available through patreon and subscribestar, anything else is leaked/pirated and may not have all fixes etc.
This game is AMAZING! came for the porn stayed for the story ;) this has inspired me to potentially make my own VN, if there is anyway for me to contact you Caribdis id appreciate any tips you can give to someone attempting to make something half as a good as this !
So I played your demo, and I must say, the plot is genius, graphics were fantastic, I would even donate to the cause, but not at it's current game content. I would be a donater if u had about half of this game completed. However, due to lack of content, I can't see donating as of yet
Glad youre enjoying, development of a project this size for an indie project for one person is a huge amount of work. It's a big project. The amount of content currently done actually already eclipses some finished AVNs and the frequency and size of the updates is very high for the AVN genre.
That's good news for sure, as I can tell it's a huge game with a ton of content, and I was super addicted to the game within a game concept and how brilliant the plot is all executed.
i know that making an animation is veryyyyyy hard that.'s why i can't say that make ur game fully animated coz i m also animator. All i can say that add audio plzz coz i m so lazy to read....
Sadly that costs a whole lot of money for good VA and a massive amount of development time. Fully voiced AVNs for a one or two man project really isnt feasible.
How the audio is blended in it's current state and plot readability, adding more audio just to sate ur lack of motivation to read is assinine. The way it's made now is flawless and ultra immersive if you just lose yourself in it.
Una duda habrá traducción al español es que es difícil entender todo lo que hablan si es que no sabes mucho del englihs, por lo que al final terminas dependiendo mucho de los traductores pero quitando eso de lado es un juego muy bueno, con una historia que está siendo 10/10 como también sus escenas claro, tier S ante todo al creador
Gracias por las amables palabras. caribdis trabaja muy duro en el juego. Si bien no hay traducciones oficiales a otros idiomas, alentamos a la comunidad a que haga traducciones, por lo que si alguien que sabe cómo hacerlo quiere hacer una traducción al español, será bienvenido.
Wazzzaaa Caribdis, I got sum u might be interested in, if not no problem, it's a music track, can be used for either idle scenarios or sexual, honestly dont give a fuck, but I would like to know if there was a way to contact u privately, and no this isnt no stupid ass prank, i just like Eternum and went fuck it, ill make a track for it or attempt. i preciate it.
Is there a trick to transfering saves on android? I downloaded the new 0.5 version but when i launch it i have no save data, its all still on my other app.
when it comes to non Japanese visual novels I had Dr.Pink cake as S tier and really hadn't found anything on that level/ I stumbled on Eternum randomly and was pleasantly surprised the writing is great and the comedy is also on point. I think this really gives strong competition to games like "Being a DIK" wishing you luck on your story i'll be supporting it! S Tier for VN for sure
I wasn't expecting much improvement from "Once in a Lifetime" to this. But you greatly proofed me wrong. I hope there will be more naughties till the final end product but not less story. Even the scary elements of certain story parts are really well done. And the humor. I can't even understand why it so much fun for me and never once a joke than made me cringe.
If it will ever end don't hesitate to make another, and by that I would certain be a patron.
Hello Caribdis I want to tell you that I like your game very much and I hope you do well in life, you have the potential to create games, do not doubt it.
Thanks, but a doubt about the discord exactly the discord is Eternium or Eternum and I see that there is no content of the game in the discord.
similarities in characters are due to the program used to make them, Honey Select 2, which is a game itself with a character creation element. Also I wouldnt say that for instance Nova and for example Dalia or Penny look anything alike. Penny Dalia and Nancy are purposefully with some similarities as they family. but there are only so many morphs and changes you can make on the models before they start looking unnatural.
glad you're enjoying the games, only going up from here.
Eternum is a huge improvement over OIALT in this regard. The latter was very much anime-ish in terms of looks (not that I disliked it), but Eternum went a step further and made the girls look more life-like than ever.
Fun fact: it took me three playthroughs of OIALT to realize that Lauren and Judy just had different hair. :D
This game started for me as a way to have some fun when I was down, but turned out to be kind of journey to myself. I discovered that many of my struggles and insecurities are, well, common. And I liked the approach to them expressed through the protagonist. He didn't think that having insecurities is something stupid or insignificant, but he just was there for people dear to him. Seeing how the main characters care of each other was heartwarming, some of the stories were funny and others were quite touching. And, well, I liked the protagonist. I realized that he is the person I want to be like. Not because he is "cool" or "strong", but because he cares about people around and respects them. He can stand up for what is dear to him. He is bold, but not pushy, and respects other people's boundaries. And girls for him are not just bodies or sets of useful qualities, but personalities.
Overall, this game has helped me to care and appreciate people around me. And to be more attentive to people's feelings. And motivated to exercise :-) And, hey, it was a lot of fun!
I very much enjoyed playing Eternum) Thanks a lot!
BTW, is there some sort of mechanism during installation that checks the apk file if it was unchanged compared to the source? I'm slightly paranoid about network problems which would result in a problematic file (not enough to corrupt file immediately) which suddenly occurs while I'm halfway through the game
Caribdis, the eternum 0.4.1 apk I downloaded can't be installed due to parsing error. Yet I don't see any complaints. If anyone has met this problem before, please help me

You should add a Stabby Mike cameo.
i second this
I just want to see Mc with my girls Lauren, Iris, Judie, Jasmine and Aiko tbh. Ofc Rebecca and... Carla? Tbh I just want a direct sequel
he is mentioned near the beginning of the game at least lol
Mike is?
Yes "Former President Stabb" is mentioned. Eternum takes place around 13 years after oialt give or take a year.
I love this game! Not only are the girls hot and the sex steamy, but the story is actually quite entertaining. If you took the sex out, I'd still play this game.
The mark of a great avn...would it still be compelling without the lewd content.
Very Very Very Good Game 10/10.
Butttt The Discord link is expired can't join :(.
It will open again soon. Its subscriber only during chapter release periods.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Hi admin, can u tell me how much story left to complete this story in percentage?
He isnt officialy revealing that so as not to get locked into a set amoumt of updates etc but its not halfway yet. We estimate we are between 25 and 30 percent complete now.
Played 0.5, It's Awesome!

I need inside information on whether there will ever be a direct sequel to Once in a lifetime

The graphics are exceptional. The environments are beautiful and rich and so diverse and suited to the theme of the server. The bodies are sculpted with a degree of realism (and beauty) that is simply stunning. I must say that the first interaction with Nancy blew my mind because of how great and realistic she looked.

Thank you. Eternum is definitely a special game. You ain't seen nothing yet so stay tuned!
The new update will actually makes it bigger and longer than once in a lifetime already. So our little Eternum is growing fast.
Lol, "llittle" Eternum?
lol
Thank you!!
I truly do hope, my guy Caribdis gets the support wich will allow him to publish just the same quality at a higher rate. Even if this was a childfriendly VN, I'd have played it, thats how well most parts are written.

Ah well, atleast that makes sense, though a man can hope. Do keep up the great work however. I suppose this makes me read more often whilst I enjoy doing so!
I know she's supposed to be annoying but can we have a oneshot/twoshot thing for Regina?
I agree... there was a dialogue like that during the party, but there is no such option when you go to the locker room....either way, you need to follow Penelope.
It doesnt make sense in the narrative for a scene with her. It was never supposed to be an option. It says in the dialog he isnt going to do it just after she proposes it.

u have to be a patreon (idk the plural word for patreon, patron?)
It will open again soon. Its patreon only during release periods. Its not public release yet.
When the version 0.6 of Eternum bwill be released???
He didn't publish 0.5 yet and you ask for 0.6 man, probably 6 months xD
I'm looking forward for you finishing this game, I'm loving everything about it. Please keep it up, you're doing a really good work!
Its a long road ahead.. but its gonna be a fun one. Thank you!
Great as always!Both the modelling and story are superb.It would be nice if there was an official Chinese translation option.
——A long-time fan of China since Once in a Lifetime.
Thank you for the kind words Cari works very hard on the story and renders. We do have a community member who is translating the game into Chinese.
ayyyyy name brother

Thank you very much!!
Absolutely. I believe Eternum will stand with BAD as one of the pillars of the genre.
2 weeks! 😃

Is there any femdom elements in this game?
no
I will try my best :D
Thank you so much!
Hello Caribdis I want to tell you that I like your game very much and I hope you do well in life, you have the potential to create games, do not doubt it.
Thanks, but a doubt about the discord exactly the discord is Eternium or Eternum and I see that there is no content of the game in the discord.
Thanks!
The discord is closed to non-patrons until public release, sorry about it
iOS ?
would you ever consider using different female character models in future projects ??
I love your games.
not that I mind but sometime it gets annoying that every girl looks the same
similarities in characters are due to the program used to make them, Honey Select 2, which is a game itself with a character creation element. Also I wouldnt say that for instance Nova and for example Dalia or Penny look anything alike. Penny Dalia and Nancy are purposefully with some similarities as they family. but there are only so many morphs and changes you can make on the models before they start looking unnatural.

I was really happy to read your comment, Hec, glad my work help you in that sense!
Thank you very much!
Caribdis when is the 0.5 version of eternum going to be released on porngameshub
Never, hopefully
That site is not official and it can't even run the animations
Does anyone know what Caribdis uses to make this? Also love the game ! I would support it if I was not broke.
I believe it's Honey Select.
Do you know what they used to make the backgrounds?
This one is made with Honey Select 2.
Once in a lifetime was made with Honey Select 1
BTW, is there some sort of mechanism during installation that checks the apk file if it was unchanged compared to the source? I'm slightly paranoid about network problems which would result in a problematic file (not enough to corrupt file immediately) which suddenly occurs while I'm halfway through the game
Caribdis, the eternum 0.4.1 apk I downloaded can't be installed due to parsing error. Yet I don't see any complaints. If anyone has met this problem before, please help me
OK, problem solved when I downloaded from brave mobile (switching from ddg and mitch).
Hell Yeah! 0.5 released!
Still I am waiting for public release..cuz I'm fking poor. (-_-)
It wont be long, only a couple of weeks now. The wait will be worth it, it's stellar
too much CFNM! (why is there no CMNF?)
Do you intend to put the game on steam? including once in the lifetime and etermum
Unfortunately I can't because of licensing stuff, so I have to rely on Patreon and SubscribeStar.
