This is some high tier tin foil hat shit and I approve. My other running theory is that Thanatos and a lot of the other NPCs we see in the game are just people who died while still in the game or were forcefully disconnected and they got cyberpunk soulkillered into this "alternate dimension" you cannot convince me its just a game at this point
Hi Caribdis, i am a big fan of your work, and i would support this game in the future, im sure you've already heard how mesmerizing the characters that you made, especially Nancy, she is in my mind ever since the last 4.0 update and this update did not disappoint, Nancy's new animations were "Phenomenal" beauty in it's peak, in fact, none of your updates disappoint, take your time to rest well and continue whenever you want to, i, and we will wait for this update because we are too attached to the story now, keep the great work Mister Caribdis.
After finishing 0.5, WOW- well written story, characters feel alive and genuinely unique, amazing use of humor and witty references, there's not enough words to describe the amount of PEAK this is.
if anyone's got recommendations to VN like this please comment :)
You’re awesome for this thank you <3 I got “Once in a Lifetime” downloaded and itching to experience it, as of now I’m def gunna check out all of those.
Oh, you definitely should, they're all wonderful! I also have some other recommendations but I don't know if you're looking exclusively for HoneySelect based games, or if Koikatsu based ones are good too
this isn't a review for Caribdis - you already know your shit is good.
for anyone who is searching around itch.io or other platforms because you like your smut with a solid story, good humor, interesting characters - this is exactly what you're looking for.
the first section can be a little overwhelming but if you allow yourself to be pulled in, you're in for a wild ride. Once in a Lifetime is great, but this game takes it's to the next level.
Absolutely love the game, but was a bit disappointed with 0.5. just felt like instead of the story advancing and the NSFW scenes happening along the way, the plot was nothing more than a vehicle so you can tick off the girls that you hadn't had scenes with yet. Which left a lot of loose ends -
(SPOILER(S) ALERT:
Like the yearbook was just an excuse to get the protagonist alone with Penny - the two of you trespass into this chick's room and then... just stop caring about the reason they did it in the first place?, or the elevator scene - you've just knocked someone out with a bat and left him tied up in the office... but you stop to get it on)
The cliffhanger is great, but the story didn't really move much until that last scene. And I'm not even sure the detours really developed the characters of the ladies or the relationships with them that much. (Don't get me wrong, I love the sexy stuff but it can be sexy AND develop the story/characters/relationships. It just feels like that was missing from 0.5)
I have to disagree, the pacing wasn't as frenetic as other updates, but I do think it developed a lot several characters. In any case, everyone has their own opinion, of course. Thanks for playing anyway :)
Well I don't fully agree. Sure on the main story I'd love to have more but we still finally met the Foundator and learn some really important things on Thanatos. And lets not forget the "bleeding" effect that the MC is experiencing, that is probably waaaay more that it looks like.
With the girls on another hand we had a really interesting bonding moment with Luna and her familly, it was clearly the main event of this update. The scenes with Nova were pretty cool too, with the manga for example. Sure most of them were NSFW but it still felt like we developt something new with her. She kinda made a new bond with Penny too, it was sweet. I do agree that the scene with Penny and the yearbook was.... wrong tho. I mean, the NSFW scene was hot but the "Oh, that thing that hurt me for 3 years and that really mattered to me a few minutes ago ? Nah forget it." disturbed me. It felt... off. And I agree that the scene with the guy we knocked off felt a bit rush but the explanation was convincing enough, I think? The NSFW that followed felt right to me cause everything has been built for a while now to end to this, our relationship with Nancy was already well developped at this point.
At least, that's my feeling after playing this update, not going in the Eternum and doing real life things with them felt really refreshing.
Every update just blows me away! I do not see many people mention it, but I love the references you make. Especially Pochita in Nova's room. The detail you put in away scene blows me away!
I really want to make my own visual novel inspired by Eternum's animation style. It would be helpful to know where to get pre-made characters assets and what software did you use for the animation?
The update to 0.5 from 0.4 shows three links...all of which I can't use. I get "An error occured during installation. This title is hosted on an incompatible third-party website". Am I missing something or should I download the game separately since the previous updates usually just involved me pressing update for updating within Itch.io Launcher.
I've just finished 0.5 and this game is going better than ever. This game is truely a masterpiece and I wish I had a time machine to go directly to the final release, the wait is killing me.
I was quite happy about the story with Luna. If there was any way to endear her to me even more, you knew it. The hands on time with her was actually a little surprising. I was expecting more build up. I liked it, though, so please don't take that as a criticism.
The only thing I noticed was that the aphrodisiac was the wrong color and didn't have the slight glow like it did in Once in a Lifetime.
Wow! This is my second playthrough for 0.5, and the game is just as great the second time. :) I'm loving the storyline so far and can't wait for 0.6 and beyond. Keep up the great work!
I have to put another comment in this.. I cant believe how good this is! Like. Seriously. I mean, yes porn bla bla, I played a lot of these games now. Liked many because the story / plot were actually good.
But. Holy. Focking. Cow. I.. whoever reads this. Damn. Play it. Like, for real. So many good cuts and cliffhangers. I had to choose, heads or tails. Like .. I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS HAS ANY MEANING OR WHAT SO EVER BUT AFTER CHOOSING ONE THE SCREEN TURNED BLACK AND WENT ON LIKE NOTHING HAPPEND. IM.. AHHHHH
Oh and the Easter Eggs / mentioned of other games / allusions .. I can't .. like for real, I can't! How the hell am I supposed to play this game, making choices while thinking I could have gone so, many, more, different, maybe, even, better ways?! I could replay it but this is not my thing for these games.. because you know the things already and yeah
But for real. I said it before. This is great. And I can understand a reason to release it for free, but when I would know, this game is that great, easy 20€/$. Safe.
Pumped to get into 0.5 today. Only found the game recently and it jumped up to near the top of my all time list for adult game. Great work! Finished 0.4 and was eager for 0.5 to drop in just a couple days but then found your last game and got myself sidetracked going back to that xD
This game perfectly combines music, stories and pictures. There is no doubt that this is a perfect game
The song What Is Loving Anymore amazes me
I find I like luna more because of the song
I know I have never been lucky to meet your mother, but if she is a part of you, I know she is also a great person. I admit those puzzles are very convincing Especially when they try to catch and use our deepest fear, it may be disturbing. But if you pay close attention It's easy to end their guessing game, and it's not far from the truth, although their camouflage is very eye-catching You are not a monster, Luna.
i dont know how to fix this first i can't open because some issue " convert.dll is missing " then i spend several time to learn about how to fix and now this is an error
I just had to make an account to say that this is the best VN i have ever played. I dont know how you do it Caribdis, but you keep making the game even better evey single update. Before this i played OIALT and I was seriously impressed, But this game, I cant even express how good it is. xD Keep up the amazing work, and i cant wait for 0.6!!! :)
When you redownload the game for the newest patch how does one go about keeping their previous save? thank you and sorry if a stupid question new to these downloads but loving it best game in its genre by far.
Your a legend brother, like actually. Cant think of another game/visual novel that is on the same level as this. Will be trying out its predecessor after for sure.
I love you CARIBDIS !!! I really do not know HOW YOU NAIL EVERY UPDATE! Your storytelling *chefs kiss* isaa soo good. I literally abandon every piece of TV show, movie, manga I know just to enjoy your WORK!
o.m.g. im surprised by all the reviews. after reading them i was excited to try this game and the other one; once in a lifetime....i get these are visual novels, but harrrrd emphasis on novel. like 30-100 clicks in between each decision. sooo long and boring.
a shame because the animation and visuals are really really good. use this style on an rpg like Third Crisis or even something simple like Raven;s Quest and this might be epic.
Bro pls help me with the game , after the latest update i can't play the game .after few minutes it take me to home screen, is there any solution for it :(
Excuse me? I just played the game. Not far, just started Eternum Eternum. BUT HOLY DUCK. THE EASTER EGGS?! DAMN! IM IN LOVE. THE CREEPY THINGS OR.. like "Maybe you do it this time" LIKE HAOWUAHI?! DAMN. I'm in love with this! Just while typing I can see a screenshot with 2Bs Swords. Fock. How can be this so good already?
Yow the animation WAS HIGH TIER, NOT WAS BUT REALLY HIGH TIER, THE STORY O MY FCKNG GOD MEN REALLY IT'S GOOOOOOODDDDD LIKE GOOOOOOOOODDDDDD LIKE GOOD FUCKING FOOD!!
WELP I DON'T MONEY TO SUPPORT THIS GAME THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT FOR FREE !!GOD BLESS YOU!!
the new version is super good thx for the hardworking, I would play every single game you've made.
erm dear game dev i wanted to ask is there anyway to interact with the character regina? i got curious because Regina said follow Penelope or her to locker room because I thought it might unlock a scene?
Hello, me and my friend have a problem. We downloaded this game from another site with Russian translation. I had version 0.3, I downloaded version 0.5. And I met the problem that when I try to open my save, a problem comes up that suggests copying the web problem code. What to do?
Man the update is just awesome caribdis man you are so creative and clearly passionate about your work .The story is excellent I would rate the update's story 10/10.I played once in a lifetime and it was just brilliant and after I finished once in a lifetime I instantly went to your profile to see if you have any other games and I found eternum and man it was great.Every character is very interesting and the story's suspend and creativity is something I can't even find in big triple A games and I hope you make more content and games and that cliffhanger just left me empty now another 2 or 3 months but i know the next update's story will be excellent.This game gets a 10/10 from me.
Spoiler
Caribdis man thank you arigato for making us have you know the thing with Nancy I wanted to do it with her since the beginning cuz I am a man of culture I like milfs ok.

PART OF ME SAYING THANATOS IS CHANG ?
wait.. Wait.. WAIT.
waaaaaiiiiiit

I know righ
This is some high tier tin foil hat shit and I approve.

Would love to play 0.5, but i keep getting this message:
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
While running game code:
File "renpy/common/00start.rpy", line 283, in script
python:
ScriptError: could not find label 'start'.
Can you help?

Thank you!
'Fresh women' is pretty similar, but its alot shorter and the crazy background plot doesn't kick in too much at the beginning.
Would recommend
A pretty good one is Caribdis' older title "Once in a Lifetime".
There's also "Ripples", which is pretty interesting since it dabbles in time travel, paradoxes and greek tragedy.
And also My Bully is My Lover, which has a beautiful story and wonderful characters. I swear I almost cried on prologue chapter 4.
You’re awesome for this thank you <3 I got “Once in a Lifetime” downloaded and itching to experience it, as of now I’m def gunna check out all of those.
Oh, you definitely should, they're all wonderful! I also have some other recommendations but I don't know if you're looking exclusively for HoneySelect based games, or if Koikatsu based ones are good too

It needs to be downloaded from browser, not the itch app

Thank you very much <3

Does the game have NTR , in the furure ?
No
when's the full game expected to come out because once in a lifetime was awesome
Let me tell you, I LOVED One in a Lifetime. Really. But compared to Eternum ? It was nothing. Just a draft to train before making this masterpiece.
It's still take years. It'll be a huge game with lots of content
Thank you so much!
When you redownload the game for the newest patch how does one go about keeping their previous save? thank you and sorry if a stupid question new to these downloads but loving it best game in its genre by far.
On PC you'll be able to continue your old saves :D

Download it again!
