This game, just like "Once In A Lifetime" is amazing! If anything I personally like this type of setting a little more. I love the idea of an SAO/ Ready Player One sort of MMORPG, and just from what we've seen so far I can already tell the story is gonna to be interesting. The animations and just the visuals in general are so well done, and i feel you can definently see your experience from making your last game in this. (Tbh, it's kinda hard to believe this is being made by 1 person). I will definently be checking out the updates to come, and will probably be checking the patreon out too...
Edit: Forgot to mention, but the humor in this also really brings it home. Literally burst laughing out loud at some points!
A ton of effort went into making this a pleasurable experience. The humor always hits you at the best moments and it doesn't feel excessive and it doesn't feel out of place. I see why you recommended to keep sounds and music on. From what I see, this has the potential to become one of the best porn games I've played, and I've played several. Good job and good luck.
Honestly came for the porn but stayed for the lore. Cant wait to see this shit completed! Also, if im not wrong, were you inspired by Ready Player One? They seem to have a similar plot. And im sure there will be unpredictable twists. All in all there is massive potential in this game.
P.S. I just wanna know if the pendant is worth more than the glasses in the future? tag it as a spoiler or something hehe 😉
After I finished playing Once in a Lifetime. I was eagerly waiting to play this. I started playing as soon as it was out, and I just have to say- I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. It didnt feel to short for a first release. It had about 3-4 hours of gameplay. Secondly, the models didnt disappoint. THEY ARE STUNNING. I fell for every one of them. Third, the animations were so smooth at every point in the game and felt really immersive. I just loved them and I cant wait to see more im the next release! Oh also, the humour was absolutely on point. I loved the Once in a Lifetime references and would love even more of them in the future. I also loved the minigame that was there towards the end, that was fun. Lastly, your taste in music is good. I think the music and sfx were well done. Keep up the amazing work mahn!
Holy Hell dude! What a fantastic game. The graphics are stunning and beautiful. The story line is so great i wish i could be him. This IS the BEST VN Ive ever played. Very nice job bro. Keep it up.
Had to sign in just to display my excitement over your new game. Once in a Lifetime was basically the perfect visual novel with music, comedy, and of course the girls! I can't wait to see how you move forward with this game, because whew, your writing is impeccable and fun as hell.
I am really impressed with the quality of this game. Even thought its in its infancy, I saw no errors and the sheer effort you put into this thing really shows through. Really impressive. I've never tried your other title, but after playing this I will.
Ikr, altough I hate kids(hate may be a strong word, id say maybe dislike), I click "yes" cz I feel that wierd, good feeling of mystery. As in, idk when its gonna happen and when it finally does, I feel excited or, like... happy ig? Idk how to put that in words.
YES!!! You did it again....everything from the humour to the h-scene was absolutely on point just as we have come to love from you...my only gripe being the lack of milfs. I love milfs. In the case of OiaLT we were introduced to 2 milfs right off the bat...Nancy is adorable...but I need MOAR...so fingers crossed...can't wait for next version...0.2 can't come soon enough...keep doing your thing!!!
I have not yet played the game but before you update it more please don't forget to add the humour and emotions, coz the "bad" endings if once in a lifetime made me very sad and it's a good thing, so yeah please add that too
Man... this game is perfect. Keep doing the great work KING CARIBDIS . Played Once in a lifetime three times and this game already it's competition. You are the best game maker out there, no joke. You have all my respect for your work , that I can discribe it in only one word: PERFECT! Looking forward for the next releases. And I have one question , you ever considered to add once in a lifetime and eternum on steam? Because i would deffinetly buy them and so many people too. Keep doing the great work king!!
Thank you very much Dragos! 😍 Unfortunately, I can't publish it on Steam because of copyright issues (Daz games can be published there, but HS ones can't)
I’m actually sick to my stomach that my comment got deleted what sort of world do we live in where degenerates jerking off to animated porn get to decide someone else’s kink is shameful, not okay you’ve lost my business
Hi I immediately came here to comment about the good character introductions. Honestly a porn game is a porn game but I was blown away when you thought of what others never think about... A Game in a Game WHAT?! Screw sex I'm interested in the story now HAHAH
Comedy, Romance, Sexy Time, Bad Guys, MEMES, all these elements! This is not just a porn game, amazing work. Keep it up :)
You sir, have a gift! The pacing, the narrative, the angles, all of it! Very impressive. The character models and environments are great too, I'm a little naive about all of this, but are using something like DAZ, I've read some other creators use this kind of software for character models. Keep up the great work bud!
Nice! Did you opt for the extended content or just stick with the original unlimited content? Looks like there are some great options on there. Thanks again!
If I'm being honest once in a lifetime made so amazed and so baffled by how outstanding it is, when I started playing this I was even more excited because damn this game is fucking amazing, once in a lifetime and this game are the most amazing games I have ever played and I'm glad I didn't drop Once in a lifetime. I have a feeling that Eternum is going to be just as amazing maybe even more because holy shit this game is outstanding.
Just in case my Grammar is bad again, I apologize haha.😓😓
Hey Caribdis, I have mentioned before that I have enjoyed your games so far and I really want to give something back, but money isn't really an option for me at the moment. Is there a way I can get in contact with you and maybe help out in some way? Rendering scenes or proofreading or something along those lines? I would love to be able to help out if at all possible!
I'm absolutely amazed. I went from instaling it for the lewd scenes to loving the game in every aspect. I haven't fucking laughed with a game as I did with this one in a while. The game is an absolute masterpiece, I can´t wait for more, it went all the way up to my top Renpy Games!
I have played a lot of Renpy games (I'm lonely) and Once in a Life Time was by far the best one I have played. One of the only game where the characters aren't just randomly attracted to the player for no reason. The story and characters are bizarre but logical at the same time. Jokes in these kinds of games are usually cringe but I have laughed a lot playing it. Some how, even with how good OiaLt is, Eternum is blowing it out of the fucking water. Amazing so far. The writing is a good bit better but the visuals and animation are absolutely stunning. Also Chang is best girl.
WTF. Man you r killing me. That's insane! You've overdone yourself. Once in a Lifetime was perfect, but Eternum is like perfecter, idk XD. Reminds me of Ready Player One tbh, but like it's a real game. You know, it's just a 0.1 version, but I'm already in love with it. Can't explain all my emotions but long story short, you're a genius man. I was playing with joyful tears in my eyes the whole time! Everything is incredibly well done, hilarious humour with that DS reference and this Chop Chop guy got me laughing out loud in the middle of the night, adorable and loveable characters, intriguing story with some mystical stuff, and more and more and more. Man, thank you, just thank you. You are like Miyazaki in game industry. Looking forward to the future updates( ◜‿◝ )♡
Ok, Ive got to the end of current build and Im delighted! "Eternum" will be even better then "Once in a Lifetime" for sure. Definetely Caribdis does not stand still, he improves quite a lot in all aspects.
I don't know how you come up with this formula but the humor is always spot-on and the jokes never fell flat. The animations and visuals are absolutely phenomenal! The whole virtual world setting felt like Ready Player One but with a certain uniqueness in it and it's so amazing! The jumpscares with Nancy almost gave me a heart attack lol. The Dark Souls 3 gag had me laughing so hard everytime it comes up, but what probably caught me by surprise the most was the appearance of Towa-sama's original outfit and what happened to the girl wearing it.
All in all, I absolutely loved this game, the plot is simple at the beginning but it gradually becomes complicated as the story goes on and by the time you reached the chapter end, you'd have more questions than answers which is amazing as it leaves you from wanting more. Definitely worth the 5-star rating!
P.S.:
Don't let me get started how absolutely blessed we are that this masterpiece of a game is free to play despite how much time and effort you have put into it. You totally deserve all the support that you can get, and more!
I've finished my first playthrough and I've gotta say, you've absolutely done a remarkable job! The animations are just absolute chef's kiss. The storyline is intriguing. The characters are very lovable. ( I see that me and Chang have similar taste in women LMAO ). I'm absolutely looking forward for your upcoming projects.
Guessing this is not a harem game ? cause I just started it and it just mentioned paths breaking. I sorta dont want that added stress (its like looking over my shoulder after each choice just to make sure its still ongoing) And if "both" options lead to a dead end, I end up feeling frustrated. Makes it hard to get attached to the characters if I know they are just going to break paths at any time. Am I best to move on ?
No, trust me that there's going to be a harem ending. Assuming that you've never played his previous game, which I suggest you should, it had a very wholesome ending. All waifus acquired. If you don't want any paths being blocked then, I suggest you download the walkthrough ( Guide ).
Well, based on Caribdis's previous game, It's highly likely that the ending of this game will have a harem route included, that is if you managed to remain in a relationship with the girls that you want to be part of your harem. And don't worry about options leading to a dead end, if Caribdis will imply the same system that they did with Once in a Lifetime, there will be plenty of choices that will be presented to you all throughout the game to help you steer clear of said dead end in order to achieve your desired ending (harem or just one specific girl). With that being said, I think it is safe to say that there's no need to hold yourself back from being attached to the characters that you like. But if you're still having second thoughts, I really recommend you to try Once in a Lifetime first since it will be much better if you experience it first-hand, also I cannot emphasize how amazing that game was. I hope my answer helped you somehow.
P.S.:
I am not in contact with Caribdis nor do I have any insight on how they intend to develop this game, so there is still a possibility that they might not implement the same system that they used with Once in a Lifetime. We'll just have to wait and respect on how Caribdis will proceed with the relationship system in game.
Pretty much what Row and NotaDuck said. There will be an harem ending 100%, if you're afraid to lose any of the girls, you can follow the walkthrough attached, it's spoiler-free
The brief description for the game is "Story-focused mystery harem game" so it's more like you can loose path with some girls if you aren't careful enough with your choices, just like in Once in a lifetime.
Fantastic game, love the visuals and animations. and top-tier story telling yet again Caridbis. I can't wait to see what twists and turns you have in store for us players this time around.
About how long do you estimate your development update periods will be and how long do you estimate this will take you to complete? I'm guessing it would be a much easier thing to answer now that you already completed a game and can compare the amount of content.
Around 3 months between updates, but I'm not sure about total duration since this one will be bigger than OiaLt, so I'm guessing it'll take a few years to complete it.

damn thats some fucking good shit
Glad you liked it ^^
man you must have made some pact with the devil o something, i barely played for 30 minutes and i'm already liking this game.
:)
Haha I'm glad!
One of the best visual novel games I've played.
Thanks!
Easily the best game on itch rn, Looks way too professional to only be made by one person.
Thank you Riley :D
Holy shit you cant miss, still has great humor and still has the best character design.
Thank you!
Honestly came for the porn but stayed for the lore. Cant wait to see this shit completed! Also, if im not wrong, were you inspired by Ready Player One? They seem to have a similar plot. And im sure there will be unpredictable twists. All in all there is massive potential in this game.
P.S. I just wanna know if the pendant is worth more than the glasses in the future? tag it as a spoiler or something hehe 😉
Glad to hear that! Thanks!
P.S. Yeah go with the pendant :P
Thank you very much!
And thanks for the offer, I'll let you know if I need any help ^^

Having said yes to pregnancy content, will that be in "eternum" or in the real world outside of the implant?? I'm curious to see
Real world, but in future updates!
cool!! I'd guess most people will have said yes to pregnancy content... I certainly did in Once in a lifetime
Ikr, altough I hate kids(hate may be a strong word, id say maybe dislike), I click "yes" cz I feel that wierd, good feeling of mystery. As in, idk when its gonna happen and when it finally does, I feel excited or, like... happy ig? Idk how to put that in words.
Chopin's op. 09 no. 02 ? I appreciate your tastes.
Great so far, love the occasional callbacks to Once in a Lifetime. Eagerly looking foward to more.
Thank you! Great music indeed
YES!!! You did it again....everything from the humour to the h-scene was absolutely on point just as we have come to love from you...my only gripe being the lack of milfs. I love milfs. In the case of OiaLT we were introduced to 2 milfs right off the bat...Nancy is adorable...but I need MOAR...so fingers crossed...can't wait for next version...0.2 can't come soon enough...keep doing your thing!!!

I've got it covered for now, don't worry! If you'd like to help the game, leave a review and speak well of him to others! Thank you! :D
Done and done!
Thanks <3
This is freaking awesome dude. I'm so keen for part 2!
I'm glad!
I'm absolutely amazed. I went from instaling it for the lewd scenes to loving the game in every aspect. I haven't fucking laughed with a game as I did with this one in a while. The game is an absolute masterpiece, I can´t wait for more, it went all the way up to my top Renpy Games!

Haha you're gonna make me blush, thank you sk1doo! <3
Oh, btw, can I somehow get the OST from this game?
Hey go to youtube and look up Eternum OST - DEAD, youll find the soundtrack there
🧡🧡🧡
How long will this game be? Will it be the same as once in a life time or longer?
Oh, my god. Micaela of the Boreal Valley killed me. This is hilarious.
🤣
Ok, Ive got to the end of current build and Im delighted! "Eternum" will be even better then "Once in a Lifetime" for sure. Definetely Caribdis does not stand still, he improves quite a lot in all aspects.
"Eternum" is impressing and I already like it!
Thank you so much Zexian!
Absolutely fun!

I do hope you add in a gallery soon though.
Thank you HenTie!
There's a gallery already (inside each girl screen), but I'll improve it on 0.2
Ah, i didn't realise that. either it wasn't made clear or i was too immersed in the story to realise that there was a gallery.
btw, great music choices. i usually never have the music turned on for erotic games, but i love the soundtrack you've used for the game.
i would name specific moments, but then i'd be spoiling things for other players, so instead i'll just say, the songs with vocals are great.
I spent quite a lot of time on music and sounds, so I'm glad to hear that!
What an amazing game, Im really looking forward to the next update
Glad to hear that!

sounds good. quarterly updates sounds fine.
