Eternum

Alright, 0.2 was probably the coolest Christmas present I've gotten in the last few decades.  Thank you for that.  Loved the new events, I just wish they lasted about a thousand times longer because oh God I want more. 

Still believe that Thanatos guy is secretly Stabby Mike. :P

I... do actually prefer the previous relationship screens and gallery, though. >_>  Not important, I just thought they had more style/looked cooler in 0.1.

can you make less horror things please?

Absolute banger of an episode, Caribdis. I can't wait until 0.3 drops, this is probably my favorite and most anticipated game on this site.

(spoilers below for anyone who hasn't played 0.2)

Also, did Nova have Dione transform into the AWP sniper from CSGO at one point? That model looked familiar... ;)

Damn I didn't expect that cliffhanger, been enjoying the game so far. Can't wait for 0.3 and also goodluck on the development! 

... I love the new save naming system

Amazing game so far, just like Once in a lifetime. Great characters, humor and interesting story. I made an account here just so I could let you know how much I'm enjoying it.

Quick question, is there a way to pay for a handful of updates? Say 60 for the next 3 or so? Or do I have to be a patron.

Bro it just keeps getting better and better i already finished the newest update seriously idk how the process works or anything but have ever you guys ever considered making an anime out of Eternum that would be so sick it would be one of the very few that i could watch again and again thx for all the hard work you guys are killin it 

So I activated the text to speech by accident and I accidentally found a typo the 2nd time u first meet Dalia lol. "So with all these years that have passed, what *you have* been up to?..."  Just wanted to point something out just this once haha

Wow.  I like to check things out before I contribute.  This project deserves contribution.  Some gray matter and sense of humor have gone into this.  You deserve applause.

This definitely is more than the typical nonsensical, porn-VN, and one actually can relate to the protagonist and the other characters.  Way more than superficial bots in here!

Bravo!

Great game in development! I like the way of storytelling, the fact that all female characters are almost equally likeable and have depth. ( I almost wish the game'd be more interactive, to be 'really' playing Eternum, but - wrong genre ;-). Keep up the good work, I'm playing again for the less obvious choices (shovel / goat).

So..... I just finished 0.2 and............ wow......... I mean........ a gem of doom.............

I knew it was coming and I new you would find but not this early in the game.......all I have to say is if there is not an ending where you get all the gems of doom and become the founder then ima be mad!!! but even if there isn't Ill still love the game but Ill love you even more for making some of the best games on this platform. also I would like to thank you for being so interactive with your community because I noticed you always read the comments and reply to as many as you can even if its a simple "thank you" that's something many creators don't do, but you.......you are not just a creator or a person behind a screen........ you are a very kind person that takes the time to listen to others and respond to them even when you could be working on your game but instead you take the time for your community....

you are a legend in many ways that others don't see... all the little things you do and say go unrecognized by many people and I just wanted to tell you this to basically say that I recognize the little thing and I  appreciate all the things you do big and small. and thank you for being there for your community but not just being there but for engaging with them as well.

p.s. I didn't have  A profile pic before because I didn't know what to put but since I love you so much I put my profile pic as your so I hope you don't mind.

I also changed my bio to a link to your profile if you want to check it out.

I love both of your Games. OiaL and Eternum are perfect games. I love the Story, the Girls, the MC, everything. I always wanted to Support you, but I didn't have the money. Now I have it and can say that I am proudly supporting you from now on as an ETERNUMITE.

Right, I said this before and im gonna say it again, If it was possible this game is worthy to become a AAA title, I don't think I've had that much fun in a while, I don't even care about the sexual elements anymore the story and the quality of your work is unparalleled, Caribdis. I've even recommended it to my sister and she loved it (we're a bunch of perverts, don't judge) overall I'm looking forward to seeing more of Eternum :) 

I love seeing you evolution of story telling from Once In a Lifetime to Eternum, Nova, Alex, Annie, and Luna are by far some of my favorites but I am enjoying them all Mr Hernandez seems like a great father and can't wait for more of the pranks that could be pulled on MC. Great game you are one of the best Visual Novel story tellers and know how to immediately pull in anyone. Then there's the references to media I can see the Ready player one and SAO inspired you for the Eternum part of the game (unless I'm wrong). Just can't wait to see more

This game....... where to begin

The real world (in game) is great, lots of humour and relationship building. I don't have words, it's great.

THEN you have Eternum, every time you dive into one of the game worlds, you feel like you want to explore everything, see everything, and I couldn't help but have my mind running a mile a minute trying to think on every single thing anyone said. I LOVE THIS GAME

while I was playing I totally guessed who owned dione almost as soon as I met them

I can only hope this game lasts more than just 10 updates with how fast you released 0.2 after 0.1 because if that's how fast you work this game will be finished in less than 2 years and this is a game that so far, I never want to end because it is a work of art

Keep up the good work man, because this is a masterpiece

Played for the boobas stayed for the engaging storyline and hilarious humor...

EDIT: would you mind to share what programs you use to make your work? not that I'm trying to copy or anything, in fact I'm just a complete newbie on these stuff, but I would love to learn.

Okay... I promised myself not to geek out. I am not going to fanboy. I am not-

HOLY MOLY CARIBDIS! THIS WAS FREAKING AWESOME! MY MIND IS GOING WILD,  CAN'T EVEN TH-asfnvksngrfsldkvnksnajsadvknasldgba

Seriously! As if the hype for the new update wasn't immense, the first freaking scene in the cafeteria just had me belting out a laugh like a bloody madman.

Then there was the fancy-shmancy new update to the damn GUI and SAVE SYSTEM! Everything just felt so clean and shiny that I almost peed from happiness.

The plot was most glorious, however. A true testament to your unique and unorthodox style and ingenuity. I couldn't believe my eyes, it's like you leveled up your skill fifty times over since the final version of OIALT. The hell did you do, train in hyperbolic time chamber?! Freaking genius, mate. Fluffing SPECTACULAR!

Ooh, but I have to give you props. We already know how you've taken the genre of these erotic visual novels and made them into a bloody Picasso, but DAYUM, the H-scenes in Eternum are like nothing I've ever seen before. It feels wholesome, sexy, funny, cute, and the feeling of accomplishment you get when you've finally reached the correct choices just flood your head with dopamine, I tell 'ya.

Also, thank goodness there wasn't a crossbow in that bloody box.

I absolutely loved the murder mystery quest, the story line was so rich with imagination, it had me crying from laughter when the merchant (forgot his damn name again, stupid brain) showed up and tried shooting the cat. And that house search for the photograph of the kid's mother was sooo spooky. I covered my eyes like a wimp when the MC had to escape with continuous Polaroid flashes.

I have so much more to say just about this update alone, but I'm gonna cut it short. My final two-cents are thank you so much for being as radical as you are, please never change because you're already too much of a lovable guy. Thanks for still being so humble despite the fact that you KNOW you're a real badass. And finally, I read somewhere in the comments that you're going to continue Eternum over 10 updates? If that's true, then me literally crapping myself out of excitement wasn't for nothing.

Additionally, please take your time and don't overwork. Your content is something I take pleasure in waiting for, whether it takes a long or short period of time to be released.

Keep safe out there and thanks for always giving it your best, mate.

Ok so... i wasn´t able to play 0.2 till today cause of christmas and all... BUT GOD DAAAAAMN IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT, i truly didn´t expect this type of game to have such an amazingly written story that could get me so captivated in such a short period of time, you've done an astonishing job and far far more, I'm inmensly excited for 0.3!!!!! Don't rush it tho, great things take time to be made ;)

P.D. Keep that sense of humor right there, and the horror elements too, it just makes the game a million times more enjoyable. You're a genius, thank you for the christmas present for all of us :D

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.
