I downloaded this thinking I was just gonna play it cause I'm horny BUT HOLY FUCK WAS I WRONG while yes I loved the sex scenes and the chase you have to do leading up to them What got me the most was this story THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY MIND BLOWING AND I NEED 0.7

Caribdis, 

thanks for the great time, 

I really enjoyed your game, besides the NSFW content. 

I will miss it but I have to move on in my life. 

I have decided to put an end to my addiction.

 I'm sure this news will come across as over the top to some, but I've always really looked forward to a new update and the progression of the story in Enternum. 

Farewell.

God Speed and good luck,

 PAT01

I´m honest with you. This game is fucking GREAT. The story is better than everything I have seen since years in the games I played so far. Maybe Battlefield 4s Kampange can catch up with it, when it comes to how complex the storyline is. So far I just have 3 Points.

I want more of Penelope.

I want more of Alex and Carybis (since they are both pretty similar i count them as one character style)

And: I WANT MORE OF MAAT. Jesus that girl killed me. Would be great to see more sex with Maat. I really enjoyed her.... session.


So far...  I´m impressed of this. For free on the internet? Apart from graphic this can stand up against any triple A title. Very good work, when I have some more cash at hand I will donate you something.

Much appreciated! :D

Can you make a part where you can use the duplication artifact on Calypso? I would die for doing it with two Calypso clones or Alex clones.

What is the song playing during the day of the dead part?  I would like to have it played at my funeral someday.  l)J

I've been playing since update 3.0 and I love the game it's fantastic very good story and the H scenes are a bonus the game looks beautiful and and it gives me a feeling of joy every time I play it, I'll be waiting patiently for more updates.

But I do have a question when buying one of your big patreon subs like God or demon lord do we keep some benefits or we have to pay every month to have them?

(+1)

When you sub to a certain tier, you get access to all the previous content released for that tier up to that point, as long as its benefits for a month

Rather confused as followed the walkthrough on V6 and got to Blackridge. Clicked on Dalia to 'go with her' and she insisted on going by herself so I returned to the town....and ended up eventually with story ending with (spoiler alert) being in Alex's flat with her father threatening me. HOWEVER, walkthrough refers to I should have met Gertrude/Charlotte/Praetorian and Idriel/Micaela/Dalia and then a refernce to sex and more??! Help.

Sounds like you lost Dalia's path beforehand.

Thanks. Back to drawing board! :)

Kudos, Cari! Its super rare you find a game with as much effort put into as this one, a ero game nonetheless too! I genuinely had a fuckin' blast enjoying the raunchiest of build ups scenes, into lighthearted/goofy sub plot shenanigans. The story flowed decently naturally, the dialogue was actually pretty good, the choice system??!?! underrated af. LETS NOT EVEN GET STARTED ON CUTSCENES THAT BE PUTTIN' AAA GAMES TO SHAME WITH THEIR INSANE CAMERA PATHS, GREAT SCORE/SOUND DESIGN, AND IMMACULATE USE OF 3D SPACE TO ADD DEPTH INTO A SCENE. Still tempted to restart so I can try out all of chop chop's options. Loved the variation in gameplay with psuedo quick time events, mystery stories, and even 20 questions of all things (more Raul in .7 pls, fuck the Jerry redemption arc.) To anyone reading this to see if its worth their time, play this shit. It's insanely slept on and an excellent example of what passion & perversion translated into the digital medium looks like. The story is so enthralling that you will genuinely be grabbing popcorn and wiping your hands off just to watch it. To Caribdis, thank you for creating such an awesome experience and sharing it with everyone completely for free; please go on to create even bigger things with your visions and talents!


-P.S. EPIC, SAGA, EDDA, RP1? .Hack reference next maybe? :3 

Thank you!!

does anybody know why after beach scene dalia is greyed out? pls help i've gone back to try different options many times. 

Causes for losing Dalia's path on the beach server
(SPOILERS)

- You didn't attack Dalia's opponent at the gym after she leaves
- You didn't ask Dalia for something spicy in prison on Semper Invicta
- You told Chang the password to her server

What a fucking cliffhanger.. my god this has been a ride... I simply cannot wait for future updates! Amazing work!

Thanks!

You have ruined every other VN for me. This last update 0.6 is SO good. I can't wait for the next one. Such a great story and delivery!

TYVM!

When i first downloaded the 0.6 version for Android, 2 of the 4 saves wouldn't work so i had to start from a not so far point. But now the app doesn't even open. What can i do?

same problem :(

When will the Russian text be released?

SPOILERS FOR ANYONE NOT FINISHED WITH 0.6


Also, just my own pure speculation/reasoning here...

Working through my full playthrough with the 0.6 update (gotta say, love the updated early dialogue to make things concurrent with recent world events, really appreciate that), and I did not realize that some scenes happened earlier than they did in my brain (Space Oddysey specifically, when we got the Midnight Cookies scene my brain was wondering why Cari was doing so many Annie scenes in a row, but upon  replay, yeah, that was 2 updates back...).

Based on progression of each girl, as well as what has been hinted at occurring soon in the last couple updates, I think we can surmise what scenes we're going to get in the next two updates.

Each girl has had a scene approximately every other update (0.3 and 0.5, or 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6). Looking back at each girl's scenes, as well as where each one has been left off;

Annie has stated that she's ready for it "next time" but just had a scene in 0.6, which makes me believe we'll sleep with her in 0.8.

Nancy has only had two scenes, but the elevator was one of those. With her insatiability, I'm guessing we'll get a scene in 0.7, and I'm guessing we will release inside, if you catch my completely unhidden drift.

Dalia in 0.6 admits to herself she wants you to be the one, but like Annie, just had another scene, so probably 0.8 (I'd bet something to do with "the hunt").

Penny is a little harder since she's really only had the one intercourse scene (yes, she had the photoshoot, but that was more of a tease, like Dalia's Shower Show). I'm guessing we'll get her next scene in 0.7, but I don't know if it'll be full intercourse.

Luna. Sweet, poor, neglected Luna. Why, Cari? Why does she only have one scene?! She's overdue another scene, so I'm betting we'll see her in 0.7. However, based on her progression, I can't see this being full intercourse either, which slightly scares me for how late into the game we'll finally sleep with her.

Alex, I mean... We all finished 0.6. She's probably pregnant if y'all selected pregnancy options. I'm betting we'll get another scene in 0.8, maybe even a threesome with Dalia at that point? She's a shapeshifter, so her, Dalia, and MC teaming up for "the hunt" and it getting steamy is high on my list of scenarios that could play out.

Nova is a guaranteed hit for 0.7, full intercourse, probably going to lead to her getting pregnant. With you going to her house for "Netflix and chill" as well as her and your progression, this is the one I'm most sure of.

Now then, those being said, what about side characters (Sadly Calypso being considered one of those)? We've gotten one in 0.1 (ngl, this one was probably just to keep people around and not have the first 2 chapters only be teasing and the like, which fair enough, Eva is great, gave Cari time to develop the characters for the main girls), one in 0.3 (Still conflicted on how Ma'at's story is left, obviously we don't want anyone excommunicated, but Nova or someone (probably Nova) mentioning that Ma'at's account was banned permanently or something would be nice closure), and finally Calypso's in 0.6, which feels like the beginnings of her being our central "Other" girl. With all that, I could see Calypso getting a 0.7 or 0.8 scene, then finishing off with full intercourse with her in 0.9 or 1.0. With the story, I'm kind of doubting she'll be an endgame prologue girl, what with not existing in Kredon but I'd love to be proven wrong about that. Now that we've seen Eva again as well, I could see Cari slipping her in one more scene before the game is done.

There's also a trend Caribdis has set for number of scenes per update. We got 2 scenes in each of 0.1 and 0.2, 3 scenes for 0.3 and 0.4, and 4 scenes for 0.5 and 0.6. This gives me hope that 0.7 and 0.8 will each have 4 scenes, and 0.9 and 1.0 will have 5 scenes each, giving us 18 scenes total.

With all of these observations we can come up with the following rough completely theorized and hypothetical timeline for the next scenes;

0.7 - Nancy, Penny, Luna, Nova, ???

0.8 - Annie, Dalia, Alex, ???, (Probably Calypso)

0.9 - ??? x5

1.0 - ??? x4, (Probably Calypso)

If this holds true, we will have fully slept with Annie, Nancy, Dalia, Alex, and Nova by 0.8, Penny and Luna being left to have intercourse with. Assuming that, I'd guess all of the girls we've slept with by then would be pregnant (of the main girls), else they'll get pregnant the second time we sleep with them (presumably most of their second times would include multiple girls).

We've also been given a lot of hints as to the threesomes and beyond we will likely get, mostly between the sisters and Nancy, but with others thrown in as well. Annie and Nancy have a different bond, I could see that happening as a threesome, Annie and Dalia weirdly keep getting thrown at each other in conversation, mostly by Annie. Annie and Nova were very briefly hinted at by Harley, but that's it. Nancy has been hinted at multigirl scenes with her daughters left and right, there's Nancy and Dalia (rub it in Kai's face), Nancy and Penny, or Nancy, Dalia, and Penny (Rub it in Kai's face even more). I can see Nany initiating a lot of these as she herself has been the one flirtatious bringing them up. Dalia and Penny is just a parallel to the Lauren and Judie final scene from OIAL. Dalia and Alex has been heavily hinted at by both girls, so is almost a guarantee, as is Penny and Nova. Again, this leaves Luna as an outlier, but so was Rebecca in OIAL, so whilst I would like to see her getting involved in some scenes with other girls, her condition also makes it an easy way for Caribdis to explain why she wouldn't.

Again, sorry for the ramble, this game is just too good not to invest time and brain power into. I said it on my last post after just finishing 0.6's new content but Caribdis, keep it up, you're easily the best VN/ero writer/game maker out there at the moment, take your time with your updates to keep things getting better as they have been, just don't make us wait too long (I'll give you a year, maximum).

Thank you so much!

It'll be sooner than a year no worries 😌

Can I download this game on iphone?

i don't think so

(1 edit)

When nova talks about the wheelchair guy from outlast i remembered when i first played it and i almost shited myself i used to watch my older brother play 1 and i played the sequel when i grew up a little but it was still terrifies me i just wanted to thank you for reminding me of the good ol days and for makingthis masterpiece  called eternum I can't wait for 0.7 but it will take a hot minute and I wont rush you take your time to make it as good as possible keep up the good work and much love

0.6 Not launching!

Created an account just to say that it's the best porn game i've ever seen! Incredible story line, character development, and character designs!!! Can't wait for the next update!

Thank you!

Is there only one ending in this game ?.

It continues in 0.7. I've been following since 0.2 and it's by far the best story out there.

Hi! I recently had to get a new pc and have reinstall the game, would i have to restart the whole game or would it still be saved? 

If you have the save file you'll continue, but if not then you might as well do a recap.

Honestly this game is one of the greatest things I've ever found. Everything is perfect, from the music to the plot to the sex scenes. As good as the scenes are, they pale in comparison to the story of this game. If someone asked me about this game, I'd say it was a mystery game with hints of sex, because that's how good it is. To be honest, up to this point my favorite girls have been Nova and Luna (really hoping for some more content with her in the next update!!), but 0.6 (or as I like to call it, the pussy eating update) really bumped up Alex in the rankings, even before the home run scene at the end. Anyways, keep up the phenomenal work, and please don't take too long to release 0.7 (but not at the risk of anything less than what you want it to be at)

Also when will we be able to buy Chang's Nine shirts?

Thank you so much!!

I'm in the Heist part, and only now i noticed i lost the path with Dalia. I don't know how, but can anyone can give me some advice on how to "regain" it? 

ps. Sorry for my bad English

Hi, once a path is lost you cannot regain it after, if you have a save that was made before you lost the path you can load it and try to find the choice that made you lose the path

Question: How does Axel know where the MC is when he is at the bus stop? Was he following Chang to find him or was it luck?

Or he came across him coincidentally

Why does Malwarebytes say there is malicious code in this game?

Greetings from Russia! Author, as always you are on top! Thank you so much for this masterpiece! When 0.6 came out, I was waiting for another translation of the game into Russian and did not regret it. This is worth the wait. Also thanks for the twins from the atomic heart game. I am delighted) And in general, all the secrets are very cool. I really like it when you move with the trends, it's cool!)

(sorry, I'm writing through a translator, I hope everything is clear)

Thank you!

If Chang doesn't join Eternum I'm going to ugly cry

What the hell? The music in Dalia's new scene was synced perfectly to the scene, and it was free scroll. Best coincidence ever.

Fucking excited for 0.7.

Nice Darth Vader quote shit went hard asf

I have been waiting for another update! Unfortunately I did save the game 2 frames before the end, but for now only thing I can do is go back to zero hour. No save game load. Could you help me?


Game says "an exception has occurred"

While running game code file reply blabla line 479

Couldn't find a place to stop rolling back. Perhaps the script changed in an incompatible way?


Would love to hear what I did wrong, and how to continue this awesome  series..


Much appreciation from the Netherlands

You can try the (last) auto save(s). Go to 'A' on the load screen. Than you have at least not start from the beginning.

As usual I need to come here and congratulate you Caribdis. You are one Beautiful, Brilliant Genius!
Another patch, another piece of art. Your writing and animation quality keep getting better and better. When I think I have seen peak, there you are to break it even further!
Like always, the narrative is top notch, humour is second to none and the animations... the animations are just PEAK! No spoilers but the animations at the end of the chapter were just the better I have ever seen! Caribdis, you are THE GOAT

Thank you!!

Man I wish I would've discovered this VN way into the future when the full version would already be finished. I found Eternum at the tail end of v4 when v5 was about to be released.

I was lucky with Once in a Lifetime and that was a masterpiece and also what got me into VNs. 

But this.. Eternum.. Is far from a masterpiece. It's ABSOLUTE PERFECTION! Every version is better than the last. My emotions are never in one place, it's like a rollercoaster, but a fun one. Even if it takes years more to complete, I'll always be checking back, waiting for the next version to be released.

Thank you so much :D

I just continued playing chapter 5. But I notice something odd Dalia talks about giving a bj to MC, but in my play through of chapter 4 this didn't happen (because I didn't want anything in return in chapter 3).

So I think there is a missing check for this event in the dialog (daliablowjob).

I'll check it out, thanks

Thank you also for this great VN.

Maybe a other sentence in chapter 5 that should not be used when the blowjob didn't happen: "For several reasons...":

    if daliapath:
        mct "Hmm, Akira could have access to a private server just like Dalia, it's very possible. Although, I prefer Dalia's."
        mct "For several reasons..."

At least it feels to me that MC is referring to the bj again?

I LOVE THIS UPDATE!!! KILL ALL THE MEN! TORTURE THEM! ALL WOMYN ARE QUEEN!

Or something like that? I mean, I love strong women. I've been looking forward to Nancy pushing Orion down and riding him for ages. So, why are these strong women suddenly so weak?

You've been writing a great story with strong and loveable women that are as dear to me as a set of renders can be. Why are they devolving into violent sociopaths with the mind of a twitter freak?

What is "Badass"? Is it slaughtering a bunch of incompetents without resistance? If a person is measured by the caliber of their opponents, what does it say about a character if they need to face off against noobs, and still would have died three times over if their opponents hadn't refused to take the shot? How about strong girls facing strong enemies and struggling to overcome them? You could do it for Chang's heist. A competent opponent who was three steps ahead, but the team won by being four steps ahead and utilizing all their strengths. Why not for the ladies?

Then there'a the matter of gratuitous violence and torture. Frankly, I found that obscene display of cruelty extremely disturbing and out of character for this cast of ladies that I adore. Making the opponents into misogynists to justify this sociopathic rampage isn't really helping either. How deranged do you have to be to enjoy torture? There is nothing that can excuse torture, no matter which words you put in the enemies mouth to justify it. I just can't see the cast as the loveable women they originally were after this.

Another issue is consistency. Nancy was a strong woman struggling to support her family, relatable and admirable. Then, she starts facing off against cardboard-thin foils ranting about women in leadership positions, which is just lazy. But I can tolerate a bit of sloppy writing, eyeroll and continue. What broke the camel's back was how this strong woman, who takes what she wants and does everything for her family, sees Gertrude falsely accusing Orion of transphobia - and immediately throws him under the bus to appease her. That's not strength and leadership, it's cowardice. She's not just not defending him, but outright betraying her loved one and siding with the bully out of fear that she might be the next victim. That also made the following interlude with Cicero so much more farcical. Where is the strong and caring Nancy that I loved so much? 

The spread of weakness is further observed when we see how no female character is held accountable for their actions, whether it's Maat, Regina, or the cast of heroines. Rape, sexual assault, torture, murder, invasion of privacy, sexism - all is permissible for the ladies, while men are fated to die a horrible death at the drop af a B-word. However, a strong character is one that faces the consequences of their actions, amd that acts with the consequences in mind. This bigotry of low expectations is more demeaning to the female cast than any of those cardboard misogynists could ever be.

But it's not just demeaning to not hold the women to basic standards of human decency - it actively creates hate. It's a common method of punishment to give one person unjust leniency, and see them isolated and punished by their peers. For authors, the more undue favoritism they show a character, the more they will estrange them from the reader. As paradox as it might seem, you need to be merciless to the characters you love.

Now, this will probably be downvoted to hell and back, because this story started as one of the best, and there will be many who don't want to acknowledge the flaws that are leading to its decline. Others might just not care about writing as long as the animations stay awesome as they are. Ironically, that manner of thought is going to accelerate the decline even further.

But I'm not writing this for the fans. I'm writing this for Caribdis, who started writing a wonderful story, and is hopefully wants to keep doing that. I hope this gets through whatever is clouding your mind right now. I love this story, and want it to be as great as it started, all the way to the end. Make your ladies strong again, make them human again, and make your story fun again. 

(1 edit) (+1)(-1)

Ah, a fellow novel writer. Just to simplify your critique
(SPOILERS FOR 0.6):

You didn't like...
1. that Nancy threatened to torture someone.
2. that the girls are trampling all over weaker opponents which is a sign of bad character
3. ...and while doing so, they almost get killed
4. that men in the story are held to much higher moral standards than women
5. that Nancy conceded to Gertrude when she accused Orion of transphobia

Now, here's what I think:

1. This scene was intended to be funny since it's indeed so out of character for her. I get that when she's your favorite character it leaves a bad taste in your mouth, questioning her morals... This might not be the only time she does this. Selective cruelty might be part of her personality now which would not make her the strong character you hoped she would be, sorry about that. But know that noone claims that what she's done is ok, she also knows that herself.

2. I mean... Eternum is a game and they want something. If they're not getting it the simple way then they'll make use of their strengh to get it. What were the girls supposed to do? Not get the gem out of pity? They could've surrendered at any time.

3. Their performance certainly was theatrical to be entertaining. This wasn't inteded to be serious.

4. Noone thinks that what Regina, Maat or Calypso (at the tavern) did was morally ok. What do you think should've happened?

5. Gertrude is an idiot. I'm not even sure what she accused Orion of exactly, she just spewed out words. Nancy somehow ended the confrontation by leaning into it and Orion obviously didn't mind at all. A good reputation with Gertrude isn't worth much, there's no point in clinging to it.

To summarize: You feel that the game sacrificed some signs of strong personality/morals in favor of funny/entertaining moments. You were prbly vibing with Nancy and then the bubble popped. Unfortunately, most players are not as invested in the girls' characters as you are and consider this a good balance between serious and humorous. The game expects you to lean into the ridiculousness a bit more, sorry if that's not what you wanted the game to be.

I'd be happy to have a civilized discussion with you about this!

(-2)

0. I did not write this for you, and my opinion is not up for debate unless you are Caribdis. I will merely point out what you got wrong.

0. b) Your numbers don't line up. That's not conductive to proper debate. So, replying to both sets...

1. No, I am referring to the several accounts of actual torture of actual human beings that occurs during the war scene. Luna is literally demeaning and torturing a fellow human, inflicting pain for fun. But yes, Nancy's threat of torture is another point of contention. And if she knows it's wrong, and still stoops to doing it, then what does that make her but a hypocrite too weak to meet her own standards? 

2. I am appalled at the way they trample over weaker characters, but moreso at the pleasure they take in inflicting pain and humiliation. I didn't say they should not get the Gem. I am criticizing the manner of combat. That was not efficient combat in pursuit of a goal. It was showing off, in a cruel and inhumane way that was not necessary to obtaim the Gem of Doom, seeing how Orion just appears in the enemy base anyway. Do you need to torture and humiliate humans for a military distraction? No. In fact, it would be far more effective and less dangerous to bind the enemy forces in a defensive battle.

3. a) I am not criticizing that they almost got killed, but that they acted in a way that should have resulted in death, and that Caribdis chose to bend reality and make their enemies completely incompetent so they would not have to face the consequences of failure, rather than let them overcome a real challenge through struggle and competence. 

3. b) There is nothing theatrical or funny about torturing a human being. Do you consider war crimes comedy?

4. a) You are reversing my argument to detract from the fact that safe for a few exceptions, women are not held to moral standards at all, and how that makes their characters unsympathetic and weak. That is not civil debate. The bizarre joy Caribdis finds in killing, torturing, and humiliating male characters is a seperate issue that is quite honestly not as important as the fact that he's making the female characters less likeable by letting them get away with all the misdeeds and crimes they commit.

4. b) If no one thinks what they did is okay, why is Caribdis so reluctant to hold them accountable? Benjamin got killed, for real, after attempting to rape a girl. Maat has been habitually raping people, and no praetorian showed up to kill or even just ban her. Why the double standard?  So many men were intentionay portrayed as sleazebags as a pretext for inflicting inhumane levels of pain and humiliation on them before they even commit any misdeeds. But when you have a female sleazebag luring you to the locker and taking non-consensual dick pics, nothing happens. Why the double standard? It shows barely contained hatred for men, but moreso a deep contempt for women. After all, the only ones you would exempt from responsibility are the ones you do not deem capable of bearing it. It's clear nobody gives a damn about the demonization and abuse of men, but I'd expect people to have an issue with blatant misogynistic coddling of women.

5. a) I am not just mad that she conceded, but that she betrayed Orion out of weakness. She was not just abstaining or mediating, but actively talking bad about him. And if Gertrude is an idiot who is not worth clinging to, why would Nancy go so far as to turn on her own loved ones just to stay in her good graces? You say that it's okay because Orion didn't mind, but that's just another issue. He just got betrayed by a person he loved and trusted since he was a kid, and he's not hurt by it? He sees her cave in and turn on him out of weakness, but then goes along with her "strong woman" spiel and calls her his queen? If a loved one turns on you, it hurts. The whole interaction doesn't check out unless you are so deeply contemptuous towards women that you don't expect any sort of integrity or loyalty from them. Which simply can not be true for a strong mother figure that you love. 

Your summary is also false. This is not a matter of morals versus comedy, it's about Caribdis turning lovable characters into insane sociopaths, turning desirable women with good human motivations and a strong, kind personality into two-dimensional monsters that have no empathy for their fellow humans if it allows them to satisfy their vanity. He's defiling the characters he poured so much effort into building, and it pains me to see him do it.

Ok, since you don't want to argue I'll swiftly wrap this up.

Unfortunately, Caribdis will most likely not engage with you; reading, thinking and writing all this takes a long time. If you want to be heard I'd recommend you to keep it short or include a tl;dr.

Here's what I assume is your main point: "On the battlefield, Luna is unnecessarily cruel, which makes her less likeable." I just replayed the scene and I found it genuinely funny. Yeah it's somewhat cruel if you think about it but you're taking this more seriously than intended.

I'm having trouble seeing all this from your perspective, it all seems overdramatized to me. Sorry about that.

Funny how you say that after you posted a straw man summary that blatantly twists my words, isn't it?

Misrepresenting your point was never my intention and I've been transparent enough to summarize how I've interpreted your arguments. I don't care about being right, I'm just curious. But since this discussion is becoming toxic, I'm backing out of it. The stage is all yours.
