hey cardibis . It was a nice game. But I have a question . Can you unlock all the scenes with all the characters in 0.7.5 ? Or we have to sacrifice some of them?
You can be with just one girl, but it's not unreasonable to say that you'll miss half the game, since each girl's path has elaborate side stories. At it's core, this is still a harem game. Most people have their favorites but still find all girls to be very likeable.
EDIT: And yeah, the main story shouldn't be affected by which girl's paths you are on, they will cooperate with you regardless. But each girl's side story also has a bit of main story in it!
ive been playing this game for 3 days now and not even halfway, the story is so good cant believe this is free. i would pay if i had the money though. <3
Is this mostly a porn game? I see it's extremely highly rated. Just also seems sexually intense and wondering how much more there is to it if you can elaborate a bit! I usually play "clean" VNs but I'm down for a good story if there's explicit content too.
No, this is mostly an epic story with unique and extremely well written characters that each have their own quirks, desires, insecurities, and goals. You form meaningful relationships with them, and there are only 3 instances of "side girls".
You'll find yourself adoring the characters quickly, and by the end you'll be chomping at the bit for the next update just to see the story unfold.
Admittedly it is charged with sexuality but it has never felt (to me, at least) like that is the MAIN focus.
I recall Tuco (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly) saying when it is time to shoot, shoot, don't talk. And Indiana Jones using the pistol (and Han shooting first). And playing Doom, and making all the demons shoot each other. I was SO hoping this would happen, and it did.
I *NEED* 0.8, life is meaningless to me right now 😭
You're SOO good creating stories, i mean, even if you ignore spicy content Eternum would still be AWESOME. (not that I want to do that, I would never ignore such a great narrative 🥀)
after all , ill paid for this game later (soon as soon i do) for i can see my moon in 0.8 0.9 i love her so must, i'll paid i promise ( soon 2-3 day after commend) : ) ty for good game.
this game certainly got me thinking all day when im not playing
spoiler! :
like, how tf is bro dead and its waaay far from the ending (it was actually concerning me how he was getting too much self confidence though, i even tought of playing i all again and givin bro some debuffs but... nah.).
and just as the question of the actual lore says, how do ulyssys (or however you rite that shit) control the npcs and the "servers" ? its certainly amazing thats just it.
thats it, my life doesnt make sense anymore untill 0.8 (give me more of luna pls 🥺)
Sorry dude, but the pillow fort scene is the most life-affirming scene in AVN history. Some big-budget mainstream movie is going to steal that, as soon as one of their peons find it. Alex's life is dark, but the way all of the main characters interact is overwhelmingly positive.
I didn't say there are no feel-good moments in the game. Far from it. All I said was those moments still don't take away the fact that 0.7's ending was an absolute downer moment and I would recommend waiting until 0.8 for it to (possibly) be resolved.
this may seem like an out-of-the-ordinary comment considering the game, but the music in this game is fantastic for the ambiance! When the game started and said the sound and music did lots for the experience I thought "I planned on keeping on anyway but ok" not thinking about it much. I thought maybe the song during the intro would be peak, but no! The soundtrack compiled for this game is so amazing and it bolsters the feel and story more than the pornography and I think that's beautiful. Amazing job creator
That means you lost her path, so no more special content with her. Either accept it or load an older save and try to make things right. If you opt for the latter, I have a guide specialized for troubleshooting here, at the 3rd download option.
Theory time (spoilers ahead for Once In A Lifetime and Eternum)
(Sorry it's a long read)
What if the true ending of once in a lifetime is the one where you go back through the sewers instead of confronting astaroth because it shows you in a cell and you get visited by Astaroth who talks about wanting your help to find calypso and if so you may be able to get your mind back, we know that the two games are connected not just by this but also a few references like president stabb (stabby mike) being mentioned near the beginning.
That's the solid theory so far but that's not too concrete and doesn't really mean anything other than Astaroth wants to find calypso. However what if The Founder is Astaroth because yes Astaroth has different hair colour and style but it's not difficult to imagine that he can alter his appearance and acts differently, this could also explain why he has the ability to grant the item that allows players to keep items no matter what.
Some might think that last one is a stretch but I believe that it could be true based on what we know so far about Eternum however this is all just speculation and could be proved completely false by the next update(s) of eternum or by Caribdis themselves excited to know you guy's thoughts on my theory.
TLDR: Astaroth wants calypso and might be the founder based on evidence so far and we may meet the player from Once In A Lifetime based on what we know.
Orion namedropped Stabby Mike as "Ex-President Stabb" during his intro monologue, making the harem ending canon (as every other ending has Mike dead or brainwashed by Astaroth). Also Cari confirmed it in an earlier comment:
Just know Stabby Mike doesn't die due to the bullet because he has the cross to protect him he fainted because he saw his own blood so your not 100% correct on that bit but yes the brainwashed part is true and I didn't know about the previous comment by Cari my mistake. However I feel like the harem ending being the true ending doesn't mean 100% we won't see the main character in eternum at a point because we don't know how many years Eternum is after Once In A Lifetime as far as I'm aware.
Likely explanation as to why is that importing model data from HS1 (the software OIAL uses for renders) to HS2 (the software Eternum uses for renders) can't be done, so Cari will have to recreate everyone from scratch in HS2 (which is likely a tedious process exacerbated by the fact that he has to significantly age them up because of the second point stated below, so he likely decided to just not bother).
Second, someone on Cari's Discord created a timeline based on the information provided in the game, stating that Eternum takes place 12-14 years after OIAL. Cari himself approved of this timeline and changed some things in the script to reflect it (such as changing the time Ulysses showed up from "a few years ago" to "more than a decade").
I made an account just to say that your game is awesome! The end of the last chapter was a little wild but otherwise the visuals and story are fantastic. You're doing amazing work!
The game has many problems for Android. Please solve the problems in the next update because I love the game and I want to play it without errors and I want the game in apk
What problems? I'm curious because my problem with android are the sfx on motor madness and rushed break. The majority of it are missing so I felt empty after I encountered those two issues. (By far I think that it was the only issue I found/encountered just now).
After finishing Once In A Lifetime i figured that Eternum was worrh giving a shot since that game was so good., and I must say that this game has surpassed all expectations. The plot really got me hooked in. This is the best AVN game I've played to date and I can only imagine how much better it will get. That cliffhanger really left me at the edge of my seat. Atleast I know that I will definitely come back to play this game when it updates since it was so memorable and the girls have really grown on me.
Question for patreons out there, do they public release a new version once it's 100%? or does it take few weeks or months before they public release it? I just can't wait to continue the story and I'm too broke to buy patreon T_T
I usually end up replaying that every Eternum update, just to reprep myself for the new content. It just puts me in the right mindset, rather than JUST playing the new stuff when it comes out.
My heart has taken away by Annie, Nancy, Penelope, Dalia, Luna, Alex, Nova, Eva, Calypso and Idriel, and can no longer feel happy and sad in my life （until 0.8）
Actually holy shit. Came (hehe) for the lewd and NSFW content like anyone else, and was taken in by a compelling narrative and lovely characters.
I seriously cannot sing the praises of this higher and am HEARTBROKEN it ended as soon as it did. Seriously, Caribdis, this has been so fucking incredible and inspiring and I am eagerly awaiting the conclusion of Eternum.

The link for downloading the Chinese translation is no longer working
Caribdis trying to contact you to make sure something is okay with you. Not sure what the best way to do that would be.
hey cardibis . It was a nice game. But I have a question . Can you unlock all the scenes with all the characters in 0.7.5 ? Or we have to sacrifice some of them?
You can unlock all scenes on a single run.
brother how did you do it. After 3 hours into the game 4 characters are now locked. Can you please help me 🙏
Use the walkthrough. It's optimized for a full harem run so you can unlock all scenes by just following it.
yes I am following the walkthrough provided by the dev. and till now everything is workingnbutter smooth. Thanks yall for the help 🙏😃
The game can be unforgiving at times, yes. If want to play by walkthrough, I'd recommend you a novel walkthrough mod I made a while back.
Thanks a lot buddy. I will surely go through your walkthrough 👍

Siuuuu
Hi! We already published the 0.3 version of Spanish translation: https://daknosolar.itch.io/eternum-spanish-translation
We hope you like it. :)
Bro, can i just fuck with one girl and complete the the game? I mean can i collect the gems with the help of other girls without fucking them?
Yes, just purposely lose their paths
You can be with just one girl, but it's not unreasonable to say that you'll miss half the game, since each girl's path has elaborate side stories. At it's core, this is still a harem game. Most people have their favorites but still find all girls to be very likeable.

ive been playing this game for 3 days now and not even halfway, the story is so good cant believe this is free. i would pay if i had the money though. <3
Well, you can pay for the game. That's another thing that you just skipped that part :)
太爱作者了！！！我认为这是世界上最好玩的游戏，作者加油(ง •̀_•́)ง！！
Why does my mouse keep disappearing when I start the game?
you don't its part of the story
Yes, this always happens, there's nothing you can do. Please delete your original comment, we don't want to spoil the newbies.
ready deleted thanks for the response
Bro, I just want to find a porn game, but when I play this game I just want to skip all the hot scenes and focus entirely on the plot. You're amazing!
Is this mostly a porn game? I see it's extremely highly rated. Just also seems sexually intense and wondering how much more there is to it if you can elaborate a bit! I usually play "clean" VNs but I'm down for a good story if there's explicit content too.

Thanks so much for the response! Going to download it and see if I like it :)
What softwares are used while making this game?
I know about these: a modded version of Honey Select 2, Ren'Py, and some image editing software.
The best game in the world . Please continue , we will support you wholeheartedly !
That is my favorite scene.
It's mine too :D, I remember me rewinding lots of times.
Am old. (potential spoilers)

I will! Thank you!
I just finished 0.7... OH. MY. GOD.
I *NEED* 0.8, life is meaningless to me right now 😭

Is this game particularly dark? I'm not looking for depression right now.
This is exactly the type of game to play to kickstart you out of depression my man. Go download it
I wouldn't say that given 0.7's ending tho. Maybe he/she/they should wait for 0.8 or something before giving it a go, lol.
Sorry dude, but the pillow fort scene is the most life-affirming scene in AVN history. Some big-budget mainstream movie is going to steal that, as soon as one of their peons find it. Alex's life is dark, but the way all of the main characters interact is overwhelmingly positive.

I'm glad that's appreciated! Thank you!
what does it mean if one of the girls turned grey in the gallery thing
That means you lost her path, so no more special content with her. Either accept it or load an older save and try to make things right. If you opt for the latter, I have a guide specialized for troubleshooting here, at the 3rd download option.
i eventually made a new save n i still don't know what i did to lose her path
Is ntr included in this game?
No

Already proven false.

https://itch.io/post/7639777
Fair enough
Just know Stabby Mike doesn't die due to the bullet because he has the cross to protect him he fainted because he saw his own blood so your not 100% correct on that bit but yes the brainwashed part is true and I didn't know about the previous comment by Cari my mistake. However I feel like the harem ending being the true ending doesn't mean 100% we won't see the main character in eternum at a point because we don't know how many years Eternum is after Once In A Lifetime as far as I'm aware.
Yeah a couple of things...
One, Cari already made a comment here ruling out cameos of the OIAL cast (though he didn't rule out references).
https://itch.io/post/6867450
Likely explanation as to why is that importing model data from HS1 (the software OIAL uses for renders) to HS2 (the software Eternum uses for renders) can't be done, so Cari will have to recreate everyone from scratch in HS2 (which is likely a tedious process exacerbated by the fact that he has to significantly age them up because of the second point stated below, so he likely decided to just not bother).
Second, someone on Cari's Discord created a timeline based on the information provided in the game, stating that Eternum takes place 12-14 years after OIAL. Cari himself approved of this timeline and changed some things in the script to reflect it (such as changing the time Ulysses showed up from "a few years ago" to "more than a decade").
If you really need to see Once in a Lifetime cameos, head of to Ripples and buy a phone.
Does Ripples have a lot of Once In A Lifetime cameos? I haven't checked it out yet but it's on my list
Hiiii Caribdis I just finished today I can't wait for 0.8 please make it faster....😭😭😭😭please please
Bro I'm only the one who got problems when I download it it's forbidden 😔 idk what to do..
try downloading it in different link, like mega, mediafire, etc. i had the same problem when i first downloaded it from google drive
Can u give me a link then? please
I think he's talking about the Android version. Use a different browser to download!
What browser?like internet I'm in android rn and that's my issue "forbidden" when I download it
don't rush them. it's a lot of work making a game and ensuring it continues to maintain the amazing quality of story and visuals that it has
PRIMO VICTORIA 10/10
if i install from the third party website, does it still update automatically or would i have to do it manuall
Right now, you always have to download new releases manually.
Alright, thanks
Best update ever I'm waiting 0.8 yessssssss
How to fix i can't download Eternum 0.7 Saying download error forbidden android
Try downloading with a different browser.
It's done lol That's why it doesn't work with blocked dowload on lol
Bro how mine is forbidden when I download it
Yooo is Orion gonna be okkkk?
Very nice game, thank you
I made an account just to say that your game is awesome! The end of the last chapter was a little wild but otherwise the visuals and story are fantastic. You're doing amazing work!
Thank you so much!
Does plagiarism exist for adult games?
The game has many problems for Android. Please solve the problems in the next update because I love the game and I want to play it without errors and I want the game in apk
What problems? I'm curious because my problem with android are the sfx on motor madness and rushed break. The majority of it are missing so I felt empty after I encountered those two issues. (By far I think that it was the only issue I found/encountered just now).
Yes, the same problems, the sound and special events are all missing, and I would like them to be fixed in Part 8 because I want to play correctly.
It is no longer possible to have the game as an APK, with the 0.7 update the size of the game surpassed the size restrictions of the APK format.
How can I do the files thing? I'm not so good with this things and I need to play the 0.7 so bad. If anyone can help me i would be very grateful 🙇♂️
Follow Tanxui's step by step guide or watch this video tutorial
Thank you very much mate, I appreciate ur help 🙇♂️
best vn i've ever played, keep up the goodwork caribdis
may our lord caribdis bless us with 0.8 soon
THE BEST GAME EVER! LOVE IT, KEEP IT UP!❤️❤️❤️

Happy to hear that! Thank you for playing!"
Is there a song list somewhere? I've heard some bangers so far and I can't find them anywhere.
You can find the recommended Youtube playlist here
If you use Spotify I maintain this playlist
I had the same question a few weeks ago, and somebody posted this list in plaintext.
Text file @ proton drive
pls add voices for the special scenes :)
Voice acting is a...contested subject.
1. Quality voice acting is very expensive and baloons the installation size
2. The number of voice actors willing to record NSFW content is limited.
3. It's generally unpopular with fans as they already have imagined voices for the character.
Question for patreons out there, do they public release a new version once it's 100%? or does it take few weeks or months before they public release it? I just can't wait to continue the story and I'm too broke to buy patreon T_T
yes it does take few weeks before public release unfortunately
Once an update is ready for release Early Access for patrons in tier order start. It usually last about a month before it's time for public release.
Last time Early Access started on March 20th and public release was on April 16th.
The pattern that updates have been following, there probably won't be another update before November-December
But it'll be worth it ;)
dang, I have to wait 3 months 😭 I guess I'm gonna play Once In A Lifetime again, I miss Lauren and Judie 🥰
Such good girls...
I usually end up replaying that every Eternum update, just to reprep myself for the new content. It just puts me in the right mindset, rather than JUST playing the new stuff when it comes out.
