This is the first game I downloaded on itch.io. I quite literally created an account just to say how great this visual novel actually is. I was genuinely enthralled by world and characters that you created. I've never been this much of a fan of any AVN, but this is legitimately the pinnacle of the genre. I'll patiently wait the release of 0.8!
If you need translators It will be my privilege to help you localize in spanish ! I'm in love with your work. Played eternum 0.6, loved it, 0.7 came out, blew my mind, and 2 days ago I downloaded OIALT and I fell in love with that game also!!! How do you do it! ? Anyways, if you ever think about translating any of them or maybe both of them in spanish I would gladly do it. I joined the discord recently and I'm gonna become a patreon soon. Also, do you offer any tutoring regarding the creation of these games? I'm asking because I love to write, I know how to code but the creative part is what fucks me up (character design, modeling, scenery, etc) Has anyone came up to you asking for help or guidance in the creation of these types of games? I know you must be oh so busy but I would gladly pay for some help/directions on how to proceed. (Honestly, I'm just looking to "port" some of my writings in this type of format, I love it!)
There are some renpy tutorials only, luckily it's pretty easy to understand! If you have any particular questions, feel free to reach out to me on Discord!
yo cari! amazing game, thoroughly enjoyed it on multiple playthroughs. i was just wondering if you make the game all by yourself? if so that's very impressive, keep up the great work!
So I have now finished 0.7 and I have a question about the ending (SPOILER) because Orion dies and my question is does he really die, is this the first ending of the game due to some choices or so should it be?
I noticed there are scenes you take out with newer versions are you going to release a version with them back in the game? I miss the whole japan vacation and scenes.
What are you on about? This isn't "Once in a Lifetime," there are no Japan vacation and scenes in this game (though that may change should we visit the Meiyo server in the future).
the same blind gamer that played once in a life time before. i couldn't even get to the start game option because the main menu is totally not labeled with text. i keep hearing clunk clunk but the clipboard doesn't show anything. please man label your images with text options so we blind gamers can play. you are totally excluding us by doing this. once in a life time was playable except the map and the fights and the movie selection screen in the hotel. i love the previous game but this one i couldn't even access the start game option. keep images but add text options to them so i can play. thanks.
I'm on version 0.7 on Android, and after following all the instructions, my game has no audio past the intro animation, and it keeps crashing after about 1:30s of it running after I click "Start Game". Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix that?
So far I've played the Nadia one, the Genesis one, the DIK one, and the Knightly one.
Each of those have had varying degrees of click,click,click,click,watch.
This game however, I have read in its entirety. The writing is very entertaining, and often laugh-out-loud funny, which is very rare. Also, and I'm sure many will agree with me, it's great that the MC isn't a dufus or a jackass, which is great. Very well done and I will seek out ways to support.
Hello Cari, maybe this isn't the right place to ask this but, I read that you use Honey Select 2 for the characters and some scenes? how exactly do you export them to use in renpy ? I'm kinda lost in that regard, thank you !!!!
I apologize for the late response. As I don't have neither PC or Mac, I have no other option than wait for a better device. I thank all of you who went and provided possible solutions to the issues I was facing and some other people. I appreciate y'all, may Eternum be Eternal
the game is downloaded in a .zip archive. You have to unpack that and the game should be named something like "eternum" or "eternum-0.x". I don't think it's located in a subfolderm more likely to be extracted as.exe directly. Also make sure that if you download a translation you download the base game aswell
My review of the game: So far, Eternum is a perfect game, even without its NSFW components (i.e. if it just faded to black), it would arguably still be a Solid A, with the Ready Player One influences, characterization and the mystery going on.
The NSFW scenes though are what raise the game to an entire other level. It's easy to see how skilled Caribdis is, the first notable scene with Annie has the song "Run Boy Run" play which sensually accompanies the outer teasing. There is also the Nova riding scene where the two can barely contain their desire for each other. But most notably I believe is the Alex first sex scene, with the powerful line "never in a million years" that show she has broken her own principles in order to lust or love our main character. The triple whammy scenes that follow in a roll really seals the deal and makes the scene ground breaking to me, for a free to play game.
Other notable scenes include the Egyptian which adds diversity and exotic feeling, and the Spanish influenced music playing while you are massaging Luna. I look forward to the full game of Eternum...
I need help guyss :( I'm starting to love this game but unfortunately, everytime I download it I can't open the file. What should I do? Hiow to download it??
make sure you have permissions to access the file - it might be downloaded in a protected place (right click setting and property for the folder, make sure you have full admin permissions)
Once in lifetime I'm going to pass that game because I'm too focusing from another game and evermore waiting for update and also my bully is my lover waiting from final update from the game
It nearly has everything we missing by all the normal games for PC and consoles.
The Story is absolutely stunning and thrilling, the Plot-Twists are unexpectedly and the whole package is absolutely awesome.
I even doesn't care about, that you only have to choose an answer and doesn't really interact with the girls ... because this game is the absolutely best one, I've played in the last few months.
Really big probs to the dev for creating this masterpiece
Eternum has been my favorite AVN to play. I've played through it through 4 times. This time I am playing it with my wife and noticing without voices how empty it feels.
For Caribdis I know I have seen you said you aren't thinking of having this game voice acted. But what if it was just some fans going together to do it volunteering. We would need more women volunteers for obvious reasons but this is just my thoughts would it be possible to do and would you allow it.
I would volunteer for Orion I feel my voice is good enough been complimented on it a few times been told I can do radio. Would anyone else want to volunteer?
Just something I want to get off my chest and if this works out maybe doing voices for other great AVNs such as Luckys Paradox, Shale Hill Secrets Once In a Lifetime among others.
Hello! Haven't played yet - wanted to ask two questions first. Will this game have multiple, distinct endings, or practically just the same ending with minor flair changes? And is this 100% harem, or will there be a meaningful difference if you decide to just pursue 1 or 2 romance options?
I'm just big on games where the choices feel like they have some impact. Would happily support the dev if that's the case, but if it's not then I'll have to pass on playing at all. Just a matter of personal taste.
How do you do this part on Android????Copy the archive.rpa file to the documents/Ixalon/com.caribdis.eternum/game directory (create if does not exist).
Caribdis you need to sort whatever you need to sort to get your games on Steam, i have an embarrassingly big collection of AVN's and yours are up in the top 3 creators along with DrPinkCake (Being a Dik) and Inceton games (Summer with Mia)
It's not just about the money you could make It's also the fact so many steam users who want quality adult visual novels get suckered in by trash. At least with your games they get their money's worth.
You can't sell a game on Steam that uses renders made from Honey Select 2. That's like trying to sell a game that uses renders made from a modded Skyrim or Fallout 4. Steam's not gonna let that happen.
Cari has gone on record on his Discord that he doesn't like redoing/remaking stuff, so don't expect that kind of thing from him. Furthermore, he's already mentioned that he's planning to make the next game after Eternum with Honey Select 2 again, so he seems to be pretty much committed in not having his works ever grace Steam anytime soon.
Cómo me encantaría que estuviese al español, sé algo de inglés, pero "saber algo" no es suficiente para traducir cada diálogo del juego, algunas palabras ni siquiera sé qué significan:(
I just wish this game was complete as I would happily pay top dollar for it. The graphics, the game play, the humour. Sorry it's a blast. I look forward to the finished product on Steam. Any ideas of an ETA?
No. Software versions are not floating point numbers but several integers separated by a dot. After 0.9 comes 0.10, then 0.11 and so on. The dev estimates that the final update will land on something between 0.12 and 0.14
According to itch, the game has been originally published on 2021-09-16, about 2.5 years ago.

Hi Caribdis! May I request the game logo with transparent BG?
And also any other "promo" images.
I want to make some nice-looking animated steam grids for Steam Deck.
There you go :D
Thank you!
But, that's game icon, and I actually wanted the glowing "Eternum" word, that's what I meant by logo.
Sorry for not being specific.
This is the first game I downloaded on itch.io. I quite literally created an account just to say how great this visual novel actually is. I was genuinely enthralled by world and characters that you created. I've never been this much of a fan of any AVN, but this is legitimately the pinnacle of the genre.

You're seriously talented, Cari, keep it up <3
BRU I THINK YOU SHOULD RELAX, YOUR SO OBSESSED WITH THIS GAME!
I'll try my best!
Thank you so much!!

Thank you for 2 amazing games !
Love from Uruguay.
I would like to offer my help too, If you need a person to translate 0.8 on Russian!!!
Thank you so much!
There are some renpy tutorials only, luckily it's pretty easy to understand! If you have any particular questions, feel free to reach out to me on Discord!
Best of luck!
How does progress saving work across different versions of the game?
as Caribdis said, it will be an automatic with a new version installed.
yo cari! amazing game, thoroughly enjoyed it on multiple playthroughs. i was just wondering if you make the game all by yourself? if so that's very impressive, keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!
I mostly do, although I have some great people helping me!
How long does it take for an update to get translated ?
If you're asking about French, it should be ready soon
So I have now finished 0.7 and I have a question about the ending (SPOILER) because Orion dies and my question is does he really die, is this the first ending of the game due to some choices or so should it be?
The game will continue in 0.8, no worries
What better way to learn about how save people who have become NPCs, than to save Orion from being an NPC? 🤔
We have the same question, my heart can't relax after the cliffhanger of the mc being shot, and I also can't wait for thr next update😩.
Sure, I might do so for sure
I noticed there are scenes you take out with newer versions are you going to release a version with them back in the game? I miss the whole japan vacation and scenes.
What are you on about? This isn't "Once in a Lifetime," there are no Japan vacation and scenes in this game (though that may change should we visit the Meiyo server in the future).
Wait youre right lol but i feel like some scenes were removed or changed maybe, maybe im just confusing the 2 games completel
Yeah you seem to be mixing Oialt and Eternum up! No scenes were removed
the same blind gamer that played once in a life time before. i couldn't even get to the start game option because the main menu is totally not labeled with text. i keep hearing clunk clunk but the clipboard doesn't show anything. please man label your images with text options so we blind gamers can play. you are totally excluding us by doing this. once in a life time was playable except the map and the fights and the movie selection screen in the hotel. i love the previous game but this one i couldn't even access the start game option. keep images but add text options to them so i can play. thanks.
Unfortunately there are more maps and buttons on screen this time during the game too, sorry about it. I'll check it out
thank you for responding and hearing me out. i love your games. keep up the good work
also i am willing to playtest it if you like and give you feedback about the accessibility

Hello Cari, maybe this isn't the right place to ask this but, I read that you use Honey Select 2 for the characters and some scenes? how exactly do you export them to use in renpy ? I'm kinda lost in that regard, thank you !!!!
You need to render images with StudioNeo and them write the code with them in renpy
We should actually be able to play the 10 question guessing game with Luna without getting cut off.
I would like to ask for help. I have commented before as "Zi-End"
I have been told to install the standalone app which was done by other people. May I know where to get them?
which standalone app? the itch launcher or the game itself? itch: https://itch.io/app (only for PC and Mac)
Eternum is available via the links on the game's page, i recommend MEGA since it's the fastest option :)
I apologize for the late response. As I don't have neither PC or Mac, I have no other option than wait for a better device. I thank all of you who went and provided possible solutions to the issues I was facing and some other people. I appreciate y'all, may Eternum be Eternal
Guys, please help me, I'm downloading the game, but I can't find the exe file in the folders. How do I launch the game?
Did you download the right version? Can I see a screenshot of what you've downloaded?
Hey Tanxui, I got your name from somebody on Reddit, I really need help on retrieving a savegame. Could you maybe contact met? @RVDB_89 on telegram
I see my reputation precedes me xD. I don't have an anonymous Telegram account, so I'd prefer if you contact me via Discord: tanxui4261
EDIT: And please just DM me and don't add me as a friend right away, I can't do that with everyone.
O can't, because we dont have shared servers. And I indeed had been waiting for friend request accept. Could you add me? RvdB89
Thanks mate
the game is downloaded in a .zip archive. You have to unpack that and the game should be named something like "eternum" or "eternum-0.x".

When next up i wish i can travel time
give caribdis some time, he takes a long time for his updates yes but for the wait you get really good story and overall quality
Why after i downloaded game it's closing after two seconds on Android?
Try this
This game is a masterpiece.
indeed it is, the last time i've been eagerly waiting for a update was Arcane season 2.
Do you have a discord channel by any chance?, I want to receive news about updates :)
If you scroll up a bit, you can see a rather large clickable Discord banner.
it says the link is expired.
Go to the Discord settings > Family Center > Input your birthday, then try again.
Bro the story goes fucking crazy!!! So good but unfortunately my dumbass didn't have enough to buy the juice at the end
big facts
I need help guyss :( I'm starting to love this game but unfortunately, everytime I download it I can't open the file. What should I do? Hiow to download it??
Here you go
That's quite a lot! But I'll try anyways. thankyouuu:))
bro i can't open the said file after downloading it. Is there another way :((?
Sadly, I tried to follow the instructions a couple of times but it really doesn't work😞
Can you tell me which step exactly failed for you and how?
make sure you have permissions to access the file - it might be downloaded in a protected place (right click setting and property for the folder, make sure you have full admin permissions)
This truly great so far i hope there still some stuff like this outhere
Want some recommendations?
Once in lifetime I'm going to pass that game because I'm too focusing from another game and evermore waiting for update and also my bully is my lover waiting from final update from the game
Once in a Lifetime is finished, no waiting. And if you want to know who "former President Stabb" is in Eternum, well, ya gotta give it a look.
THE BEST SIDE CHARACTER
Thx for the info man
Besides this and once in a lifetime i highly suggest shale hill secrets. :)
I'm totally hooked by this "masterpiece of art" 😍
It nearly has everything we missing by all the normal games for PC and consoles.
The Story is absolutely stunning and thrilling, the Plot-Twists are unexpectedly and the whole package is absolutely awesome.
I even doesn't care about, that you only have to choose an answer and doesn't really interact with the girls ... because this game is the absolutely best one, I've played in the last few months.
Really big probs to the dev for creating this masterpiece
Thank you so much!!
No, thanks to you for this awesome masterpiece 😍
I've never a Visual Novel like this 😳
The story, the characters, your style of storytelling.
Dude, I literally cried at few of this scenes with Annie and Alex.
They were so damn touchy and relatable, it's unbelievable what kind of talent you have.
I'm looking forward for the next update...
I'm hooked up with your work, especially because I want to know what's happening with our character, after this cliffhanger.
Hello!
Eternum has been my favorite AVN to play. I've played through it through 4 times. This time I am playing it with my wife and noticing without voices how empty it feels.

Just something I want to get off my chest and if this works out maybe doing voices for other great AVNs such as Luckys Paradox, Shale Hill Secrets Once In a Lifetime among others.
I'll keep it in mind in case we ever decide to give the voice over a go!
Thank you so much!
Not a problem. Love this game so much can't wait for the 0.8 update. Was shocked at the ending for 0.7 cant wait to see where it goes from here!
I would buy a displate of Luna.
Why is it every time I try to download it it fails and says forbidden
Try downloading wit another browser
Me too, I've tried brave, edge, and chrome. Still might try on other browsers, but could it be network problems?
Could you upload a version of the game with only the Latest update because having to download the entire game all over is a bit annoying
I have played this masterpiece numerous times, and I will ALWAYS choose Chang my bro over Annie in the beginning, ALWAYS.
Bros before hoes. Every time.
Hello! Haven't played yet - wanted to ask two questions first. Will this game have multiple, distinct endings, or practically just the same ending with minor flair changes? And is this 100% harem, or will there be a meaningful difference if you decide to just pursue 1 or 2 romance options?
I'm just big on games where the choices feel like they have some impact. Would happily support the dev if that's the case, but if it's not then I'll have to pass on playing at all. Just a matter of personal taste.
There will be different endings, yes!
And there might be some solo endings too, apart from the harem one
Why isn't the android link not working
Try downloading with another browser
How do you do this part on Android????Copy the archive.rpa file to the documents/Ixalon/com.caribdis.eternum/game directory (create if does not exist).
Here you go
thank so much I took a break from this game for a lil while and I got confused on how to install once a update come out and thanks again.
Caribdis you need to sort whatever you need to sort to get your games on Steam, i have an embarrassingly big collection of AVN's and yours are up in the top 3 creators along with DrPinkCake (Being a Dik) and Inceton games (Summer with Mia)
It's not just about the money you could make It's also the fact so many steam users who want quality adult visual novels get suckered in by trash. At least with your games they get their money's worth.
You can't sell a game on Steam that uses renders made from Honey Select 2. That's like trying to sell a game that uses renders made from a modded Skyrim or Fallout 4. Steam's not gonna let that happen.
Thats what i meant by sort out the licensing thing, even if he needs to swap to use something else, just redo the games, keep the story as is.
Cari has gone on record on his Discord that he doesn't like redoing/remaking stuff, so don't expect that kind of thing from him. Furthermore, he's already mentioned that he's planning to make the next game after Eternum with Honey Select 2 again, so he seems to be pretty much committed in not having his works ever grace Steam anytime soon.
居然有中文翻译？！
感谢作者！
HOW DID LUNA GUESS MY PERSON WAS HER DAD??!!!?!?!!?!?
She's really smart
Yeah fam she is too smart and Caribdis made her that way lol
Cómo me encantaría que estuviese al español, sé algo de inglés, pero "saber algo" no es suficiente para traducir cada diálogo del juego, algunas palabras ni siquiera sé qué significan:(

You won't see it on Steam even in complete state. HS2 games can't be published on Steam due to licensing.
how long has the game been in development? And Does update 0.7 means game completed for 70%?
No. Software versions are not floating point numbers but several integers separated by a dot. After 0.9 comes 0.10, then 0.11 and so on. The dev estimates that the final update will land on something between 0.12 and 0.14
According to itch, the game has been originally published on 2021-09-16, about 2.5 years ago.
hey dude uhhh the game is in devolpent for some years now i think 2-3?? not sure
and about the 0.7=70% not sure ethier but we hoping not
some people think it will be 0.7 then 0.8 then 0.9 and then 1.0 final version
some people think its 0.7 0.8 0.9 0.10 0.11 0.12
and so on and so on until the game will be over
biggest issue with that game is that i'm so invested in the story, i'm scared of getting a H-scene if i'm still not 'motivated' XD
Finally someone who speaks my mind. When you want to know what happens next, but you don't have enough horny to enjoy potential lewd scenes.
