Eternum

Caribdis, everything is amazing, but you're a villain! How could you finish 0.2 at the most interesting moment?! Now I won't be able to sleep waiting for 0.3! :)

I was glad to meet a fellow countryman in the game - Nikolay, I'm also from Yekaterinburg :)

Loving this game! Cannot wait for the next update. Everything you are putting into this game is amazing from music, people, environments, dialogue, puzzles, and and character development! Excited for the next update!

I have already finished 0.2 and I can only say that it was totally incredible, it was totally worth the wait for the continuation of this masterpiece, great job, you are the best. 

I look forward to the next update, although it is not much I will be supporting your work.

I need help I don't know how to play this game in Linux, using Chromebook BTW. I have Linux installed but don't know the commands.

Really upset that the box didnt contain a crossbow shooting a crossbow that shoots crossbows. But all jokes aside this has got to be the best VN I've played so far, the characters, story and designs are just simply amazing. Keep up the great work.

Well, im here now. i bit the bullet and downloaded the game even tho i said i wouldnt till the game was done. so much for willpower lol. my only regret in not waiting is i dont get the finished product, but considering that (once again) you made a game that made me sit down and finish it from beginning to end in one sitting its not really even a consideration. Caribdis, you have fucking outdone yourself. the character design, the animations, the story, all of it. i cant even english right now to put it into words. yes, im legitimately speechless. Im not ure if you can remember the review i put on your other game around 5 months ago, but for this game its all that and more. you delivered just as u promised, and i have high expectations for where this goes. like i said before, if i was in a position to do so, id personally fund you and your projects cuz the amount of potential i see here is just crazy. Sure, VNs are a niche thing, but niche or not u have talent. the story hit all the right points and the comedy is off the hook, and annie is best girl (so far) altho nova is a close second. ive never wished for a cryogenic sleep capsule more than now cuz id set it for when the final update drops and i can wake up to play it lol. That being said, fuck you for the horror sequences and that nightmare sequence as well, thanks to u i now need new pants and bedsheets XD

 Im sure u can feel the weight of expectations on u from everyone here, but remember that to each and every one of us, ur health is more important than the progress of the game. idk who u are as a person, how old u are etc but i got a lot of respect for u for being able to pull this off. Please, take care of urself and dont get overworked. if u need a break, take it and post an update here for us fans. no one will blame u for taking time to kick back cuz we all know that when u do come back itll be with more goodies and plot points lol. take it easy and be well my dude. Merry christmas and a happy new year :)

How many updates will there be in the future? And how long do you expect to work on the project until it's finished?

I'm liking the game so far and I hope you can bring more to the audience. Your previous (Once in a lifetime) is my favorite visual novel, so I hope you can bring something even better in Eternum. Remember to take breaks and take your time :)

Really this version is even better than 0.1. I actually do love the story to this game and that is why I have continued playing it. Can't wait for the next update and keep up the good work!

really enjoying the game keep up the good work

Just finished [0.2]. The dialog is amazing as always, a hilarious and genuinely interesting story, but the improved animations are next level. It's nice to see the improvements in detail to almost every aspect with this update. Definitely my most looked forward to game, and an easy recommend to anyone reading this that is yet to play.

Keep up the good work, looking forward to the next update and beyond!

I tried this game yesterday and i finished it, i love this game and i conno't wait to the next update! :D

Bro I am addicted to this game 😭. When are you going to release 0.3 (specific month).

BTW Really nice game. Keep up the good work 😇

Once again, every game, every update from you is pure perfection. The story is just so involving and immersing, the world is so rich, and your comedy-writing skills are just absolutely incredible. Honestly, never stop making these games, because you are truly the best of the best when it comes to visual novels.

So, I'm not very far into the game at all right now. Maybe 10~ minutes in. And I gotta say, Micaela of the Boreal Valley? I'm not kidding when I say I nearly pissed myself laughing. That entire scene was just pure, unadulterated perfection. If this is how you're making your games, please by all means, do not stop. Your writing and comedic timing is absolute mastery, and this is coming from someone who lives and breathes VNs. Keep up your fantastic work, and I would love to see where this game goes in the future. 10/10.

Hey Caribdis I've been waiting for 0.2 and have been checking itch every sing day for you to update and I'm so excited to finally play v 0.2 I haven't played it yet but I don't have to to know its amazing. keep up the amazing work your a legend. Ill comment again when I'm done v 0.2. <3

Simply amazing! I almost shat some bricks at Fink's but, a solid 10/10 the plot and the game.

Damn 0.2 did not disappoint at all. This is becoming an addiction like Game of Thrones was when it was good. I am so excited to see the next episode but then I am so pissed when it is over and I have to wait lol.  Keep up the amazing work.

Amazing game. I forgot I was horny.  I want more holy fuck

4 words for V0.2:
OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD.
This is amazing!
-The Ending.
-The STORY
-The personality on these characters.
Its all so fucking amazing I can't even put it into words.
I am praying for you to get more supporters and maybe even some help,
I am learning to code and I HOPE I can be as good as you are in the creativity department.
The jokes are spot on.
The refences.
I WISH I could afford to support your work. Unfortunately I am simply not making enough money to sustain myself and support you at the same time.
I hope I can get  a better job in the future and support whatever shenanigans you pull of next.

Love, One of your dear fans.

I don't know what to say other than.. You've done it again.

This was a really solid update. Wasn't too short, (was actually pleasently surprised at how much content you managed to make in such a short time, great job!) Great humor that makes me laugh out loud on multiple occasions, fantastic graphics, (especially the animations this time around, they were even better, and were really fluid), the story was also just as gripping, and that cliffhanger at the end! Only makes me want to come back for more! As other people have pointed out there wasn't many new "sex scenes" in this update, but tbh, even if this is an adult game, it doesn't rely on sex scenes as a drive for the story. (They're a great bonus though)

Only thing I have left to say is, I can't wait for more! ^^

Alright. I'm a tough critic. VERY few games, much less adult VNs, can escape a playthrough without criticism. And version .2 of Eternum is almost an exception to that rule. And the only thing I could find to criticize here is so minor; when you click 'return' on a girl's profile it brings you back to the game, rather than the screen that lists all the girls (which I previously referred to as the 'paths screen' but that no longer feels accurate). That's it. That's my only criticism.

Graphics: Great. The lighting is well done, the characters (even the ones who aren't my type) are beautiful, and everyone is so expressive and lively it almost tricks your brain into thinking this isn't a VN.

Story: 0.1 set the foundation, then 0.2 delivers the hook. It's engaging, there's some fantastic character development, and everyone (who matters, at least; certain characters are pretty one-dimensional, like Axel and his mom, but that's perfectly fine) feels like a real character rather than some one-dimensional trope. Eternum has a lot of characters already, and it can't be easy juggling that many without dropping something. Bravo.

Intimate scenes: I have to commend you for forcing me to use this term, rather than 'sex scenes'. Eternum isn't about a bunch of sexy character models boning. It's about the characters and the world around them, and those characters happen to be attractive and occasionally engage in intimate situations. There has only been one full-on sex scene so far, but there is no shortage of intimate moments, and this is exactly how I like my VNs. Boning for the sake of boning has its place, but I'll take realistic relationship development over that any day. The scenes with Luna and Penelope (you know the ones) were some of the most endearing moments I've experienced in a while, and Alex's is probably the quickest I've ever gone from 'she's pretty' to 'if anyone hurts her I will kill them'.

Comedy: I have the same sense of humor as you do, and the comedic scenes are hilarious. I could watch a TV show exclusively about Chang and Nova being Chang and Nova.

And of course, I'd be remiss not to specifically call out my favorite characters, like I did with OiaL. Yes, I say characters, because unlike OiaL there are several. Alex, Nova, Annie, and Luna are awesome and beautiful and if anyone hurts them I will invent a way to bring myself into this game and murder them. 

Owkay :) okay.. K..
After scraping a couple of bucks together and pay for the game....and after playing the 2nd part, the only thing i can do is:.... Say: Great game ^^ It makes me laugh out loud. The story interests me and i enjoy it... a lot (even creeped me out a bit here and there). The connection you have with the other people in the game, is really well written...and (as i have grown accustomed too in these kinds of games) the sex isn't the main (selling) point in these AVN's.. it's the story arround it.. So keep it up, and i await patiently the release of 0.3 :) 
Enjoy the hollidays ^^ 

I just finished playing it. And man, you really did it again. Infact, you did even better than before (not saying the  is bad, I fckn love that game so much!). il start to support you from now on :) keep up the good work man u are legend 10/10 game 

I loved 0.2 but 0.3 made me drop my jaw. Easily one of the most talented game creators ive seen. I look forward to hearing further developments from you in the future

Okay, haven't even finished Chapter 2 and I can already say as amazing as your first game was, your writing skills have drastically improved. holy fuck.

The balance of emotional tension from Alexandra to by far the funniest scene with Nova over the phone... Just...
Fuck the porn, This game deserves merit on it's own and you've barely started.
I'm so excited to see what you're able to come up with, not just for this game but all other future projects, consider me a fan!

The modelshoot  had me constantly  thinking of this gag from wrestl talk 

I am curious. Do you have all the story planned out or do you write it inbetween each update?

yoooo how you are so good at making this, telling this is just "talent" would be insult, because at first sight the effort and hard work you put in making game is stunning, and this update is just amazing, i already said it in my comment a month ago, but renders are beautiful, soundtrack perfect fitting, story just too good and perfect humor, man how are you doing this

I finished this update with 5-6 hours left and realize that I haven't given you a comment yet. Great update so far Caribdis, I enjoyed it as well. Keep going with your work!
