Eternum

Dude! I am not one to post on here but this game bro...it has to be the best visual novel I have ever played and I have played a shit ton of them. The humor is fucking spot on, the characters are amazing, and the story has me hooked. I am so supporting this on Patreon, this game must see the light of day on steam!

holy crap I absolutely love this.

Awesome game with out of this world animation and plots, I really love this game can't wait  for the next part.😊😁

You've done it again bro, you've made an incredible world and story full of loveable characters, cant wait to watch this game grow <3

Big fan of v0.1, looking forward to your future additions!

Have there been any reported issues with the mac download file? I'm finding that when I run through the story after some time the display goes down while the content is still running.

No way to skip the idiotic quiz that I can see, one that even has incorrect answers. I'm outta here. Annoying.

I'm just wondering what song was during the Eva scene?

also great game, may or may not have made me fail NNN

Fantastic game so far as always, the visuals and artwork are astonishing, the writing is brilliant, the humour is hilarious, and the music is sublime!
Speaking of, is there a soundtrack list anywhere?

Great game Caribdis, I like everything about it. Just wondering when the next part of eternum will be coming out?

MAN, THIS GAME IS THE BEST! Good vibes, good sense of humour, amazing plots and hot babes ;) 1000/10!!!!

I'm not gonna lie, this is just a fun Visual novel. The sex stuff is a bonus.

This is much more then a porn game, very well made, stunning cgi, only one bug that I found on android version 10, after u enter on the hearts and click on a girl status or on side girls u can't go back, u have to close the game and open it again (Huawei p30 lite) 

The characters are so well made, the humor u used in this game and the other one is very good, story is wow, and the art is just amazing =)

Hey Caribdis, love your games so far. Just finished OiaL and now discovering this one and I'm already hooked. The setting is awesome, the jokes and easter eggs are incredible and the pacing is even better compared to OiaL.

One specific part I'm really enjoying is that you're using more music and sound effects than in your previous game, which really helps with the general ambiance and the pacing of the game.

If I just had one thing to add, it would be to use even more background music in general. It would fill up the few times when I go through longer dialogues with just some background soud effect and which feel a little empty (like at one point during the train part or right after punching Axel and there's just the rain noise). And I believe it could help you put in more dramatic effects when the music stops (either it can simply stop, switch to another kind of vibe or transition to some of the effects you've been using here).

If you want some inspiration, you could check out Innocent Witches from Sadcrab, or Hero's Harem Guild from Komisari. It's been a while but if I remember right they did a great job in that aspect.

Anyway, just my two cents, hopefully it helps. Keep up the great work !

Hi Caribdis, can i ask you a question, what app did you use to make the 3D images and animation?

 Also good work at Eternum v.0.1, im looking forward for the next update!

Hi! Very well made game and the story is very interesting. May I ask when will you release the next version? I'm really excited to play more and unravel the story.

Just a compliment on your work. First of all, good job on "Once in a lifetime", I have no idea how I got addicted to your game(I played that game for like 20  hours, so I made sure to get all the endings, easter eggs here in Eternum are delightful it gives some enigma and I love that). I guess the plot made the difference compared to other games of this genre: the style and details, just astonishing.

 I guess you inspired some concepts from SAO, but that is fine (the special 100% compatible MC and blades, AWP even xd, I mean it's really good, not boring and quite addicting ), so far I like it, keep up the good work.

I have a question/idea I guess! Maybe I havent gotten far enough but I think it would be really cool to that one ending of OIAL in this game at some point! I just love those subtle easter eggs haha, besides that this is awesome!

I must say, after playing OiaL my expectations for this game were set incredibly high and i wasnt sure wether you would be able to properly follow up on them, but it didnt even take the first 10 minutes to get me hooked already and i must say the first release was an extremely enjoyable experience. I cant wait for future releases and to see where the story goes!

I had high hopes after reading the comments on here, but I must say, I wasn't expecting that! I have never genuinely laughed while playing a VN until i played this.

I have also never seen a VN with transitions and cinematics quite like this. Truly,  Well done. I cannot wait to see where the story goes from here.

This is an absolute masterpiece and I am not even exaggerating. 

Aside from the very obviously gorgeous and quite exotic female characters in this game, you really get encapsulated into the story plot. Not only are the visuals amazing, but you just had to top it off with the mind-blowing transitions.

Although you don't get a say in much of the game, I find that not too big of a problem, considering how well the story just makes me completely forget about my own decisions and instead just enjoy the game itself.

And to top it off, there is a great handful of humor and funny moments in here, making you get a good laugh out of it now and then. 

Overall, would definitely recommend any VN fans to give this game a try. It could be considered a crime not to and you shall be executed by Thanatos.

Hey Carib! As a huge fan and massive enjoyer of Once in a Lifetime (I've played through all routes and even shuffled up the endgame love interests quite a few times), I can't even begin to explain how thrilled and happy I am for Eternum. I was a bit anxious going into it as I thought you wouldn't be able to recreate the magic of OiaL (it pretty much set the bar for what I look for in adult games hehe), but you've managed to not only keep that amazing quality, but expand and improve.

I don't know what god takes over your mind when you're making these, but I thank them for creating a masterpiece and following it up with another. You are doing a fucking phenomenal job here, buddy.

I can't wait to play more and get more attached to this new ensemble. Keep up the great work and make sure to take care of yourself!

When is 2.0 coming out because i was a bit dissapointed that I didnt have any sex.

bro this is awesome I love it in every angle also can't wait for more hahah 

ayo loved your game bro so when's the next update gonna come?

Off to an amazing start again!  Since you mentioned this was in HS2 i was wondering if you downloaded the BetterRepack from ScrewthisNoise or did you download the vanilla HS2 and just added the mods as necessary?

This is why i love the game so much <33

Any approximation for 0.2 release?

I can really tell you upped your game with this one, and I probably as much as the next person really enjoyed the results. Very pleased! Can't wait for updates to roll out as soon as possible. I'd say we're getting into masterpiece territory rn.

Is there some kind of Dev award we could nominate Caribdis for? This cat deserves some kind of recognition. The writing is off the hook, the comedic timing is flawless and Caribdis actually responds to EVERY SINGLE comment. No one else garners anywhere near the praise on itch.io OVERALL. I don't understand what they're doing down here in the cum dumpster of the internet, but I sure am glad they are.

Made an account just to say this game is awesome so far! Best I've played since Being a DIK. Was hella sad when I realized you just started on it not too long ago hahaha. Had to go give your other game a run through, which was also very good. Keep up the good work, man.

Hey. The game looks really good but I'm curious if there is (or ever will be) NTR in the game. It's very much a deal breaker if it is and want to know before I start if possible. Thank you for reading this :)

這個遊戲簡直太棒了，它很完美。請問一下多久才有0.2。我已經迫不及待了

This game is totally amazing, I love the Character designs and stories for everyone, It got me so immersed in it and I will definetly check out OinLt.

And do you have any idea of when we could be expecting the 2.0 for Eternum?

If anyone needs a description of the game: a porn version of Ready Player One, easiest way to describe it. Obviously, the story has its own internal logic and it's got the Caribdis tropes of 'multiple magical items to chase' and 'comedic best buddy' (my personal favourite part of both games), so if you didn't like Once in a Lifetime you won't like this.

The game is *filled* with cliches, but most of them are pretty forgivable and seem to be more for simplifying the story so even the simplest of players will understand what's going on. As with OiaL the sound cues are fun and the music matches, the models fit the characters and look great, the backgrounds are diverse, the characters are written competently and the comedy is *far* above many others in the AVN genre.

Any suggestions I have would probably be to try and launch off these cliches a bit and find your own stride. OiaL was a great experience but every 'twist' was very predictable and the plot overall was (if I'm gonna put it bluntly) trite, so if you can funnel into that it'll go from a great AVN to a great game period. Good luck in this and future endeavours!

Se que es una pregunta un tanto tonta pero en cuanto crees que el juego este completo? Y obviamente cuántas versiones tendrá por ejemplo 0.1 0.2 0.3 etc jaja

I hope it's not a bitch of me to say I didn't expect to *actually* enjoy playing? (The fact that it's the first release and I still would consider it more than a prototype or a demo? Insane.)... but I really had a great time!

The humor is so genuinely funny. Sad Chang on the first bus scene killed me. (He's genuinely an interesting character alongside the main female interests, which is rare for a... comic relief in a porn game. Please give him the girl, I love him and the bromance.)
Also, the general ambience is really cool! Everything feels lively, the story doesn't seem to exist in a vacuum, if that makes sense. The music and sfx aren't cheesy either, it's genuinely pleasing. 

I haven't seen your other game, which seems popular, so I guess I've been the one missing out here! Thank you and fantastic work! 

Okay! First things first, I'd like to exclaim how amazing the new GUI and environment of Eternum feels. Really, when I think of Once in a Lifetime, the theme and atmosphere center around the coziness of Britain addled in with sparkling architecture design, beautiful ladies and a wonderful story line. Eternum takes those points and upgrades them to the max. The town of Kredon has this classical anime styled setting, but the immersive decor, real-life memorabilia and the creation of the characters hits with with... greater oomph.

Small points that had me smiling like a dolt:

- reference to President Stabby Mike!

- the My Hero Academia-like uniforms.

- the goddamn glorious Dark Souls cameo! Like, seriously, I LOVED your style even more when I saw that.

- the fact that the Ion Server looks like a badass reverb of Blade Runner/Ghost In the Shell.

One thing I especially enjoyed was the comedy between different events, like when that Eternum quiz was about to begin and Mr. Hernandez was going all out, but then some dude told him he just crapped his pants and needed the loo. That was so funny, I nearly fell off my bed with laughter.

And as for the character design in this game, how is it possible that you have me falling for the "side-chicks" (I liked what you did there) better than the actual MAIN HEROINES????!!!!! Don't take this the wrong way, but I seriously love you, man. You're awesome.

I know anime has me addicted like a poor bastard on meth, but these games you make are more valuable to me than all the bloody gems in the ground, mate. As I've said before, I didn't expect much when I made the decision to play these mature visual novels. However, you have changed my perception on life stupendously.

The fact that I'm ranting (quite positively, I might add) about ver. 0.1 instead of the entire GAME as a whole goes to show just how amazing your skills are. I'm looking forward to the future updates, really I am.

In fact, I can't even keep this gem of a game a secret, I need to tell PEOPLE! Just you wait, I'm posting another chapter of my fanfiction soon and the author's note will have your name and game on it.

The public craves constructive, gripping, sexy stories like this one, and here is a creator giving us just that. We need to spread the word.

But all my creepy elation aside, one character I found really attracted to was the Eternum Lady (forgive me, in my excitement I forgot her name). Her resemblance to the Androids from Nier: Automata made me swoon, not gonna lie. As for that Praetorian that shot Axel's lap-dog to Hell (quite literally), will there be repeating scene's of her kind going forward?

Take care and have a swell day/night Caribdis. Thanks for another amazing game.

can't wait for more. 0.1 is already awesome! keep it up!

hey there first of all the game was fucking awesome, played through it in one sitting. but i had a question if I were to update to eternum 0.2 when it comes out will I lose my saves and progress?

just finished once in a life time and man the dev just keeps improving 

Eternum is an improvement in every single area. Not saying that once in a life time was bad, it was really really good, but the animations in that game doesn’t even come close to beating the ones in eternum 

even tho 0.1 is short it has mad potential

Loving the girls so far btw <3

10/10 recommend to everyone
