Been a few versions since I've checked in, and I'm happy to see that Caribdis still knocks it out of the park with Eternum. I really don't have a lot to say, objectively, that I haven't already said in my previous reviews. So we'll just dive right into subjective accounts and nitpicking minor things, lol.
Nitpicks: -Luna's grandma looks like a 30 year old cosplaying as a 60 year old. This is probably an engine limitation more than anything else though. -There were a few times when the backdrop on a scene didn't quite fit with what was going on. Not immersion-breaking, but somewhat noticeable. The one that stands out is when driving with Luna and her dad; you're hours away from a city in Washington, and you're passing by what looks like a boardwalk. I've lived in WA, and you're not gonna be driving by a paved sidewalk with a railing and light poles that far out of any city. Hey, I did say I was nitpicking. lol -Every time the MC says 'perfect' I cringe. But I can't really criticize this because it's very true to human speech patters to have words you overuse.
And that's it. Wow. Scathing criticism, surely. Anyway, I've had a miserable fucking year and decided to check in because OiaL and Eternum have proven to make me smile, and Eternum continues to deliver there. I love all the characters and the humor, and the story keeps me interested enough to want more. Right now. More specifically, I'm very happy you've started giving Dalia hairstyles that show us her face more. The whole athletics competition 'scene' was fantastic; seeing her vulnerable side made her much more relatable. Every scene about Empress Nancy is amazing. It's always nice seeing a 'MILF' character sidestep the 'lonely and desperate' trope, and doing it by leaning into the 'desperate' part really hard, comedically, and from a different angle is refreshing. Annie is adorable and silly and sweet, but she might be the only character I think is starting to feel flat. Originally she was introduced as this Eternum badass, but every time we've seen her there since she's done very little but be afraid. She's kind of the Worf, I guess? Even during the heist, where she accomplished something of importance, all we really see is her popping up going 'I did it'. Without that badass side to balance her out, she ends up coming off as little more than 'the girl next door'. Luna, Alex, Nova and Chang continue to be simply awesome. I still want that TV show featuring Nova and Chang. And we can have one featuring Luna and her family, too.
Eternum is actually my first VN experience, I'm still finishing it but it is already a solid 10/10. Looking forward to the update, *looks at you shyly* more seggs?, and I promise I'll donate as soon I have the chance to.
I've been playing your game since once in a lifetime and it was so great, I played it a lot I dont get bored when reading it over and over, the scenes were intense hope to see more of it. Thank you for all the effort you put in your game hoping that Eternum has a lot more to offer than once in a life time because the story wasn't enough It felt like I need more of it 😆😆. longer stories more scenes cause this game was way to cool to awasome to beautiful and exciting. I would love to see more of Eternum Sir Caribdis will be waiting. But dont rush things we understand. Thank you.
Hola! Este juego es buenísimo. Al principio tengo que admitir que vine con unas intenciones. Pero la historia del juego es demasiado buena. Tanto que no me importaría que si todas las escenas +18 se fueran! Le doy felicitaciones al creador por este juegazo. Estaría bueno poder cambiar el idioma a español, pero aún así lo seguiría traduciendo mil veces por poder seguir jugando a este juego.
DAMN! Just completed chapter 5 i take back my words earlier as much as i love my pig princess the storyline aint even CLOSE to this one ESPECIALLY the ending scene of chapter 5 where the player character have the flashback and started piecing it all together! I don't know if yall believe me but it literally shiver me timbers it gave me chills not because I'm scared but because of the HYPE! im SUPER hype for 0.6 and I'm not even gonna lie if this game ever become a pay game i will download it because i know its worth the money, if you released the full version without requiring money i will definitely still donate to your patreon.
Best visual novel I've ever play 10/10 would recommend!
Wow this story straight up has me hooked. This is by far the best story I have read out of any visual novel so far.
You have done a extraordinary job and I really look forward to reading to it's completion and then doing it all over again from start to finish. Keep up the awesome work!
Is there a prefrence for you for someone that wants to subscribe? Patreon or that subscribestar thing? Sorry not really familiar with what the companies percentages are from our subscriptions
DUDE!, chang is the stud, chang is the man, chang is the mc, chang has gave me all the lols, i feel myself (the actual mc) and all the other girls like side characters and chang is taking all the spotlights eachtime and the dev is fooling us into believing we're the actual protagonists but no, everything will turn out to be all about chang in the end, but srsly chang is my fav character in the game
Amazing just hands down amazing one of THE BEST visual novel I've ever play and it aint even complete yet! And i don't care what the other say the story is just super good its not a dull story yes there arent many sex scenes but theres much more character development AND the sex scenes actually feels special when they come, this game and my pig princess are 2 of my most favorites visual novel adult games for sure! And both of them are also close in version my pig princess v0.6 just got released recently of course my pig princess gonna be updating more frequently because the story aint that long yet(its still good) if i have to rate just purely on storyline im going with eternum but if im rating it as an visual novel adult games then I'd say both are equal(im kinda more biased with pig princess since thats the first visual novel game I've ever play and it updates fast) STILL they're both equal in my opinion
PS: also i believe that Chang is the actual main character and we with our harem are just side characters
I have an idea for a big reference to caribdis' past game, if you add the name of once in a lifetime's main character to the name bar at the beginning of the game, you get to play as him.
How many sex scenes are there? I've only menaged to get one and just wondering if that's all? Not complaining either. Just don't know if I've made mistakes or not
ohhhh no fckinh sht, why just 2, the character design that i saw on the top so pretty good, but if there just 2 sex scene.. i have no point to playing this game :(
well, right now, at this time, i really horny xD and i spend 3 hours for find nice lewd(sex)game with nice char design with pretty face (not like western old women face😂)
Look at Once in a Lifetime as a template. The early scenes are sexual encounters without intercourse such as foreplay, oral, etc. but once the sex starts, there's a plethora of it.
I'm guessing Eternum will be the same. There will be lots of sex, but we're just not there quite yet. Have patience. It's building up to the good stuff :)
You may have already been told that you made a masterpiece. But on my own behalf, I want to thank you for such an excellent game. I am in ecstasy, how did you manage to combine all the components (sex, horror, comedy, games, detective and much more). I would gladly donate money to you, if not the situation in our country of Russia. You are a great developer, good luck and waiting for the new version.
well as we can see caribdis games are just masterpieces the best of the best
but i gotta ask for all the community or caribdis itself, is there any game you would recomend to spend time while we wait for an update of this masterpiece?
The best SLG game of all time! I have some questions about Nova. Does the tattoo on Nova's left arm mean the Minerva Nightingale? Why can't I see Nova's tattoo in the later version?
Although I'm not good at English,I still try my best to express that this is the best game I can think of. The latest update was so awesome that I cant wait to know more about this tale. And I eagerly want to see the girls in 0.6 now, especially the plot about lovely Nova, in various senses:)
no problem! u deserve all the support for making such an awesome game! If I could id give u 1,000,000 a month to make more of these games and to hire a whole team to rush update everyday lmao. im addicted to this game
I'm interested in creating my own visual novel, would you mind if I ask you some questions about the process? I can give you my email or some other way of communicating.
How long intill next update? Amazing game! Me and my gf absolutely LOVED Once in a life time. Stabby Mike for the win! Almost died when I saw him in the start of Eternum! Love your work!
no one knows the exact date. but today in the developer's discord there was news where it was indicated that the new update was 81% ready. We hope that an update will be released soon.
After finding out this was your second game, I went back and played your other game and while both are great. I can see this one is much more polished. They both have very engaging stories, and the sex scenes are nice too.
Literally made an account just to comment: This is easily the best VN I've played, and I'm not even done with it. It's the perfect balance of Horny and Self-Aware Pop Culture References (Micaella of the Boreal Valley had me DYING), awesome job, Caribdis!!
Hey, umm I was trying to play it on pc again after playing it on android for a while and trying to load my save files that i copied from my android seem to give me an error TvT. I faced same issue while trasferring the saves from my pc to phone but then it was randomly fixed when i used a slightly older save or somehting....But right now I can't seem to make my save file work on my phone pc at all :<.
BTW, I love ur games. Once in a lifetime was so much fun to play <3.
Holy shit. I never leave comments, but this vn is outstanding. If I'd rank the previous game as good, there isn't a word for how much better this one is. Someone should be paying you a huge salary for your talent.

Thank you Celares! Glad you're still enjoying it
What kinks are in the game and how easy is it to avoid any?
There are no mandatory scenes
I hope you can enhanced the graphics of once in a lifetime matching it with eternum. It's so good too, ☺️
Eternum is actually my first VN experience, I'm still finishing it but it is already a solid 10/10. Looking forward to the update, *looks at you shyly* more seggs?, and I promise I'll donate as soon I have the chance to.
Thanks!
More soon!
You didnt play Leap of Faith my guy
Hey if you don't mind can you please lemme know the folder where the music files of the game are located
audio/music, but it's hidden by default

Thank you very much :D
i really like this game and i hope in the next update we see luna again
They all appear :)
0.5 was so good! Is there any way to know when 0.6 is coming out, or how much progress you guys made?
Yes, you can check my Patreon, Subscribestar, or Discord. There's a public post with a progress bar. Currently at 81%!
I have an idea for a big reference to caribdis' past game, if you add the name of once in a lifetime's main character to the name bar at the beginning of the game, you get to play as him.
This game is lit 🔥🔥🔥
i have a question will there be any solo endings or only the harem you still have a path on ending?
There will probably be solo endings, but the harem one will be the longest one
thank you for answering
How many sex scenes are there? I've only menaged to get one and just wondering if that's all? Not complaining either. Just don't know if I've made mistakes or not
I'm not counting thigh/blow Jobs
2 1/2 cause u almost have one.
the one in the roman bath?
ohhhh no fckinh sht, why just 2, the character design that i saw on the top so pretty good, but if there just 2 sex scene.. i have no point to playing this game :(
I mean there is blowjob and thighjob as well.
erotic massage and few more lewd scenes.
The characters are hot, really hot. But yes, there's a lot of normal gameplay, like A LOT, and very little sexy time. I still enjoyed it though
well, right now, at this time, i really horny xD and i spend 3 hours for find nice lewd(sex)game with nice char design with pretty face (not like western old women face😂)
Look at Once in a Lifetime as a template. The early scenes are sexual encounters without intercourse such as foreplay, oral, etc. but once the sex starts, there's a plethora of it.
I'm guessing Eternum will be the same. There will be lots of sex, but we're just not there quite yet. Have patience. It's building up to the good stuff :)
For the current version there's a total of 3
Chang scene soon?
Please

Just wanted to say great game, love the story so far it's amazing! Very high quality work, I look forward to 0.6!
Thanks!
I don't know how to run this game, I've downloaded the folder and I can't figure it out at all...
Open the folder, click on Eternum.exe and you're in the game
well as we can see caribdis games are just masterpieces the best of the best
but i gotta ask for all the community or caribdis itself, is there any game you would recomend to spend time while we wait for an update of this masterpiece?
Tell me why you can only send photos in the channel on the discord why you can't write?
Texting permissions were limited to patrons after a series of incidents with bot raids and other trolls, sorry about it
I love this man, any updates on the next version
The best SLG game of all time! I have some questions about Nova. Does the tattoo on Nova's left arm mean the Minerva Nightingale? Why can't I see Nova's tattoo in the later version?
I did not expect the ending... omg, that WAS INCREDIBLE!!
(Do we have a release date for the next update or is it still quite a bit off?)
New update is currently at 81%!
Although I'm not good at English,I still try my best to express that this is the best game I can think of. The latest update was so awesome that I cant wait to know more about this tale. And I eagerly want to see the girls in 0.6 now, especially the plot about lovely Nova, in various senses:)
Thank you very much!
The Discord link isn't working for me, does anybody have a working invite link?

Привет, скажи мне, когда он разговаривает с основателем, сколько вопросов должно возникнуть, пожалуйста, скажи мне
What's the name of the song that's playing when Mr. Garrington is interrogation me? I recognize it and its amazing, though I don't know the name.
I'm interested in creating my own visual novel, would you mind if I ask you some questions about the process? I can give you my email or some other way of communicating.
Feel free to DM me on Discord
How long intill next update? Amazing game! Me and my gf absolutely LOVED Once in a life time. Stabby Mike for the win! Almost died when I saw him in the start of Eternum! Love your work!

Hey, umm I was trying to play it on pc again after playing it on android for a while and trying to load my save files that i copied from my android seem to give me an error TvT. I faced same issue while trasferring the saves from my pc to phone but then it was randomly fixed when i used a slightly older save or somehting....But right now I can't seem to make my save file work on my phone pc at all :<.
BTW, I love ur games. Once in a lifetime was so much fun to play <3.
this was the error page....also i'm on win 11, idk why it shows win 10 there...
Ugh, transfering saves is always tricky, you might have to start again, I'm sorry :(
Dawww sed :<. Thenks for replying though :3
Discord link not working?
Holy shit. I never leave comments, but this vn is outstanding. If I'd rank the previous game as good, there isn't a word for how much better this one is. Someone should be paying you a huge salary for your talent.
