Love this game so much! I cant wait for 0.8v - Maybe some foot fetish stuff (With a chance to skip for those that may not want it?) and painted toe nails
This is a generic comment (although I love this game)... I am new to VNs overall. When a new version of a game comes and I re-download do I lose my save progress? How do I save my progress?
I usually download the new version and install it in a diffrent folder. Then I copy the "save" folder from the old version and paste it into the new folder. Then you can delete the old game and play the new version with your old save files.
Is there any way to import save files from mobile to pc. I want to play game on my pc but cannot play again till 0.6. (it took me days to reach to 0.6 and can't do it again).
btw can you make the download for android easier like you don't have to do anything just download install and play cuz I have android 13 and I can't move the files of eternum to the game and I can't play hope this gets noticed
Maybe, I think saves you made with the newest game version actually won't work on PC. But you can test it; extract the saves as shown in the guide, transfer them to your PC and put them into the "saves" folder there.
Que jogo incrível, se fizer uma versão sem conteúdo adulto e jogar na steam ficaria entre os tops (muitas pessoas tem preconceito com jogos com temas sexuais).
Sabem me dizer se ele.possui mais de 1 final, meio que morri em uma parte e não prece ter retorno.
hi Caribdis ,this is one of the best visual games I've ever played.
In the process of playing, i saw a lot of foreshadowing, and that's really wonderful and imaginative designs.I guess it will have a very dramatic ending.Of course, the girls in it are so fascinating.Looking forward to your updates.
hello caribdis, first off i wanna say that its an amazing game especially the story and gameplay and designs and all the usual things in your games, just wanna ask if theres anywhere i can see progress reports, and also im just wondering if once in a lifetime will ever get continued it was such a good game but i feel it was too short in my own humble opinion, at the end of the day im of course just a guy finding porn games to fap to, but i genuinly like the stories in your games and would like to see them get continued.
Once in a Lifetime is complete, after Eternum I will work on a new game!
And you can check the % progress on Subscribestar, Patreon, or Discord for free, more detailed progress reports on the first two platforms for supporters!
My last name must be Mason because I'm stuck with the (v0.8 dev progress) numbers in my head. Thanks to Subscribestar aka my Reznov for that quick update.
"The numbers, Mason! What do they mean?"
It means Caribdis is already cooking up v0.8 at a pace that may just destroy the AVN world (whenallattentionisbacktoitagain).
Started tweaking when I saw that 38% today. We finna play that peak again soon YESSIR!!! ৻( •̀ ᗜ •́ ৻)
Never have i been so satisfied with a character receiving their just deserts what you dis with Benjamin was peak entertainment Mindless attack dogs however are n nothing compared to their masters I need the rich asshole who dared to threaten the adorable ones TO SUFFER .
I couldnt ask in discord so I will ask here. I was playing the game and realized that actions that would grant me a heart with the characters are not giving me a heart and so some event are locked out for me. I tried restarting again but the problem is still there. Any ideas on what to do?
First of all, just in case, you should know that the hearts in the overview screen don't correspond 1:1 to the number of affection points you have. Now, if you're struggling I have both a written guide and a walkthrough mod here if you need them.
Hi man! I can't even fathom to explain how much I love your work. I would like to donate to you, although I'm not a fan of the subscribtion model. I've seen that on the god tier I'm able to ask for a scene. How much would it cost for a single time donation for a scene?
Hello I really love the game and just wanted to thank you again! Also I wanted to ask when the final chapter gonna release. It been three years now since the game got released.
Not working on it yet, I'm 100% focused on Eternum, but after I'm done with it, yes! There will be a new game with new girls and a new and exciting story 🤩
I wanted to ask you that...when full version of eternum will release?...or you are loving to tease by releasing small small updates one after another.... because if its your plan...let me tell you...your plan is working more than you think... I'm very impatient person....I completed you both games within a week or less...and both of them were just... mind-blowing...
If you would be in front of me... I'll hug you so tightly that...😄😄 Honestly...I even don't have words how I will show my happiness to you...
I also wanted to ask, when Eternum 0.8 will release?...
And in the end, I want to say that...I love you bro...and your game..., by the way...are you a girl or a boy?😁😁...no offense, but just to know...
Easily the best free avn out there and personally my favorite story in a avn ever. I made account just to thank caribdis for this work of art and fascinating story (also the hot af sexy scenes ofc) So yea ty caribdis! both of your games are top tier in the avn genre and the fact they are free shows what a good person you genuinely are.
If you're into avn you should check out Corrupted Kingdoms. came for the porn and stayed for the interesting story. it is a pretty different art style though
(sorry to plug someone's game on another person's game that's kinda scummy)
I know that Discord has to know your birthday before it lets you on an 18+ server. That's what the problem is in most cases. If that's not it, my expertise on Discord is limited and there's not much info to go off of, so I don't think I can help you further.
sounds like you just wanna be right and not submit to the facts because you're angry over a VN having better quality than most, at least caribdis puts their heart into this for us fans. stay mad.
His questions weren't offensive, go easy on your angry responses folks.
You're right, everything is already rendered in advance, nothing is rendered at runtime.
The playtime of this AVN is already very impressive, for a slow player like me it's ~30 hours already.
There are a lot of different renders. Every frame is a new render, there's little reuse and there are no shortcuts. That makes the bulk of the size, we're close to 10.000 of them I think.
There are hundreds of animations, which are, on average, longer than in your typical AVN. And a lot of them have a moving camera, which drives up their size too.
The game also goes heavy on music & SFX, we might have passed the thousand mark on them already.
So yeah, it's a lot. Media compression is already being used, though you can always push it a bit more in exchange for worse quality, like they do in the Android version.
Not normal, it's a weird bug that affects certain Android devices since 0.7. The Android developer is trying to isolate it I believe. I'm sure Tanxui knows more.
I've taken a lot of initiative when it comes to this bug. However, Ixalon made the build, he is in the best position to find a fix. Everything I'd do would require twice the effort compared to him.
Let's compile what we know so far:
The bug has been reported mostly on Android, but also on Mac devices.
It affects some devices, but not all of them. No pattern has emerged yet when it comes to which devices are affected.
It always manifests like this: The game has zero audio, except on the 18+ screen at the beginning. All frames that are animations are completely black instead. Though dialogue still plays as normal.
Additionally, some people report occasional crashes while being affected by this bug. We have only one crash report, it complains about failure to allocate graphics resources, possibly because the game ran out of memory?
Android users reported that the game worked fine when it was single-apk, only the multi-file versions have the problem.
One Android user even said that for him this applies to all Android RenPy games: As soon as they switch from single-apk to multi-file, the game doesn't work properly anymore.
Theory 1: The game needs more memory than some devices are able to provide. Maybe we can optimize memory usage?
Theory 2: Some devices are unable to handle certain manners of compression. Maybe we can use other manners of compression instead?
Love Ripples, but the number of sentences ending in "at" and the liberal use of "anyways" disconnects my old ass too often. That's on me, not the game, as that is how characters that age speak now, but it still rankles.
Once in a Lifetime is a finished game that, while in some ways a product of the tools available at the time, is better than almost all similar games existing now, much less then.
I went a few chapters into My Bully, but the dialogue is hard. The story seems great, but the translation hurts my head.
Downloaded Dreamlink based on this post. It isn't just like this, so far, it looks like an homage to this. Nothing wrong with that. Shows potential so far, and other than Lucy having blue eyes in one scene, the only complaint I have is that I have a very large snowshoe Siamese cat, big enough to put his front paws on the kitchen counter while his rear paws are on the floor. Being that large, he has the head-down mountain lion walk instead of the meshed left-right head-up shuffle of the other cats, and has a pronounced snout, meaning he's a bit cross-eyed when focusing close in. The girls in Dreamlink seem the same, as if their eye-focus setting was placed right in front of them during illustration, not back where the MC's POV is.
You're very sensitive to improper language I see. I rarely notice things like that. About the cross-eyed thing, why don't you tell the dev directly in his comment section or on his Discord server? I'm sure he'd appreciate your feedback.
Because I don't know enough about the tools used to know whether my perception is correct, same as I never tell an artist "you should do [my fantasy]." In all of these games, the thing is to roll with the author's vision. I don't ever want to be that asshole who complains about free games not catering to my kinks (this one mostly doesn't, it's just so good, it is the LotR of AVNs, and having the Hobbit already finished is also way cool). I answered here because that was the question posed.
If you are bilingual in My Bully native and English, I'd be happy to help, but I don't think this is the thread for that.
There's a difference between friendly & constructive criticism and selfish complaining. What you wrote definitely belonged in the former category and every dev is free to disregard your opinion if you're not the target audience. If you're not sure, then just word it accordingly. I didn't notice the cross-eyed thing, but I'm not known for being very observant.
I'm a dev too (in some sense) and I would have appreciated it if you gave me that kind of feedback. That's double checking I'd gladly do.
I don't know what you wanted to say with the last paragraph.
And btw the best free AVN game out there along with OIALT, from plots to characters and dialogues, it's all so intrigued for players to dive into the adventure 😄

Love this game so much! I cant wait for 0.8v - Maybe some foot fetish stuff (With a chance to skip for those that may not want it?) and painted toe nails
Absolute Banger Game, i am litteraly planning on giving a little via Patreaon even tho i am a poor student, but you simply earned it on this one. <3
Thank you for your support!!
This is the true "Come for the porn, stay for the plot" game.
非常同意你说的
This is a generic comment (although I love this game)... I am new to VNs overall. When a new version of a game comes and I re-download do I lose my save progress? How do I save my progress?
I usually download the new version and install it in a diffrent folder. Then I copy the "save" folder from the old version and paste it into the new folder. Then you can delete the old game and play the new version with your old save files.
Thank you so much!
I love this game. All of it.
But please fix the mouth of the girl in the... ending scene of the 3rd last gallery entry.
I don't know how to use a spoiler here, so I hope this was okay.
Bro... just no.If you want an asian girl, play Eternum
When will be the release of 0.8 ?
You can find more detailed information on his patreon.
But if you look at the old releases, he will most likely release the 0.8 update in fall. Probably in september or october. (my speculations)
Is there any way to import save files from mobile to pc. I want to play game on my pc but cannot play again till 0.6. (it took me days to reach to 0.6 and can't do it again).
Only recently found and love it. 9ne of my top 5. Can't eait.
Hands down the best adult game I've ever played, insane that you publish such a great game for free. Keep up the good work!
Will try! Thank you!
God tier game can't wait for 0.8
btw can you make the download for android easier like you don't have to do anything just download install and play cuz I have android 13 and I can't move the files of eternum to the game and I can't play hope this gets noticed
It's no longer possible. With the latest update the game's size outgrew the APK format.
Here's a guide for installing on Android, if that helps.
is there any way to import saves from mobile to pc??????
Maybe, I think saves you made with the newest game version actually won't work on PC. But you can test it; extract the saves as shown in the guide, transfer them to your PC and put them into the "saves" folder there.
i agree good game can't wait for 0.8
How do I download this? I did it through mega and nothing works.
Try Mediafire
Says I don't have enough space.
Then... make some space in your device's storage/hard drive?
Sorry if I sound dumb, I have never downloaded games this way. Once I have the file installed, what do I do after?
Extract the contents of the zip file, open the folder, and run Eternum.exe
Que jogo incrível, se fizer uma versão sem conteúdo adulto e jogar na steam ficaria entre os tops (muitas pessoas tem preconceito com jogos com temas sexuais).
Sabem me dizer se ele.possui mais de 1 final, meio que morri em uma parte e não prece ter retorno.
Just finished 0.7 and i have to say wow one of the best VN i've played so
excited for 0.8. Thanks for all your hard work caribdis.
Thank you for playing!
hi Caribdis ,this is one of the best visual games I've ever played.

hello caribdis, first off i wanna say that its an amazing game especially the story and gameplay and designs and all the usual things in your games, just wanna ask if theres anywhere i can see progress reports, and also im just wondering if once in a lifetime will ever get continued it was such a good game but i feel it was too short in my own humble opinion, at the end of the day im of course just a guy finding porn games to fap to, but i genuinly like the stories in your games and would like to see them get continued.
to add onto this was wondering if transfering safe files will be possible between updates, this is the first update i got the game so i dont know
Once in a Lifetime is complete, after Eternum I will work on a new game!
And you can check the % progress on Subscribestar, Patreon, or Discord for free, more detailed progress reports on the first two platforms for supporters!

建模很好，剧情也很不错，加油
My. God.
THE FKN CLIFFHANGER, I JUST CAN'T!
I LOVED IT.

Thank you!
My last name must be Mason because I'm stuck with the (v0.8 dev progress) numbers in my head. Thanks to Subscribestar aka my Reznov for that quick update.
"The numbers, Mason! What do they mean?"

Thank you so much you amazing creature!
Keep in mind those scenes/suggestions/requests are not granted, if you have any doubts you can reach out to me on Discord!
Hello I really love the game and just wanted to thank you again! Also I wanted to ask when the final chapter gonna release. It been three years now since the game got released.
According to my calculations there will be around 5 or 6 more updates
After that, I'll start a new game :D
Is the upcoming 0.8 update counted among those 5-6 remaining updates?
Will there be any sequal of Eternum? Or Once in a Lifetime?... please tell us....
Or are you working on a new game?
Not working on it yet, I'm 100% focused on Eternum, but after I'm done with it, yes! There will be a new game with new girls and a new and exciting story 🤩
I wanted to ask you that...when full version of eternum will release?...or you are loving to tease by releasing small small updates one after another.... because if its your plan...let me tell you...your plan is working more than you think...

Thanks for such amazing games....
When is 8.0 coming out?
how to download eternum again on phone is just a zip idk how to download
Here's an installation guide
Easily the best free avn out there and personally my favorite story in a avn ever. I made account just to thank caribdis for this work of art and fascinating story (also the hot af sexy scenes ofc) So yea ty caribdis! both of your games are top tier in the avn genre and the fact they are free shows what a good person you genuinely are.
If you're into avn you should check out Corrupted Kingdoms. came for the porn and stayed for the interesting story. it is a pretty different art style though
(sorry to plug someone's game on another person's game that's kinda scummy)
How to get to that game...send a link...
https://thearcadean.itch.io/corrupted-kingdoms here's the link for both of you if you're interested
ill check it out ty for the info yolo
Thank you so much!
So yeah i made a new acc for discord and when I finally get to enter the chat disappears and well I guess it kicks me out, how to fix this?
You should read the last question in the server's FAQ.
Umm i can't even access the server let alone read the rules and stuff
If you can't get into the server at all: Go to the Family Center in the Discord settings, input your birthday, then try again.
There's now bday settings tho in family center
I know that Discord has to know your birthday before it lets you on an 18+ server. That's what the problem is in most cases. If that's not it, my expertise on Discord is limited and there's not much info to go off of, so I don't think I can help you further.
When can the next update be expected?
Public release in october i guess, just check the developement log and the intervals of releases
Public release in october is very optimistic.
A more realistic guess would be public release around Xmas
how do you make a VN 7 GB
high quality models and animations
no they arnt. these are just gifs and images, theres no 3d rendering
sounds like you just wanna be right and not submit to the facts because you're angry over a VN having better quality than most, at least caribdis puts their heart into this for us fans. stay mad.
this is maybe the saddest comment ive ever seen
ironically, I found this out after I posted this comment. Yeah, you are right. Now I'm having the same questions as you
This game uses video files, not gifs. Also those images number by the thousands, so compression alone would only reduce file size to a point.
His questions weren't offensive, go easy on your angry responses folks.
You're right, everything is already rendered in advance, nothing is rendered at runtime.
So yeah, it's a lot. Media compression is already being used, though you can always push it a bit more in exchange for worse quality, like they do in the Android version.
Discord link doesn't work
I fr wanna join in
discord link is expired, please anyone kind enough send me a new invite
https://discord.gg/caribdisgames try this bro
I finally got in, but thanks anyways bro
you're welcome bro:)
Go to the Family Center in the Discord settings, input your birthday, then try again.
God tanxui had replied yeahhhhhhhhh
When's the next update? <3 I hate cliffhangers!
i guess public release in october
Okay sweet! I was trying to look for it myself but I guess I missed where it said that, thank you so much!
I hope there's a Korean version of mobile Android
if there's a hospital in next update, add mgs V reference puh-LEASE
Need help! When going in the scene the animation turn black screen but i can still see the dialog. Is it normal?
Not normal, it's a weird bug that affects certain Android devices since 0.7. The Android developer is trying to isolate it I believe. I'm sure Tanxui knows more.
If you can try playing on another system like PC.
I've taken a lot of initiative when it comes to this bug. However, Ixalon made the build, he is in the best position to find a fix. Everything I'd do would require twice the effort compared to him.
Let's compile what we know so far:
I might as well start to collect some statistics. jakoma123, please provide the following information about your device:
Maybe this can confirm or rule out some theories. The bug will be there for a while, so I suggest you play on another device in the meantime.
Are the school uniforms used in this game the school uniforms in my hero academia?
May anyone tell me, other games that are like this? they frickin nailed it to the board
Ripples by Jesturr
It's a must try!
Ripples is great, but I wouldn't say it's similar. Here are a few other games you could check out:
Yes...Dreamlink is certainly very much like this 😆🤣
Love Ripples, but the number of sentences ending in "at" and the liberal use of "anyways" disconnects my old ass too often. That's on me, not the game, as that is how characters that age speak now, but it still rankles.

I have quite a problem while installing OIALT, it always fails at the middle of downloading
Use a different download provider (Mediafire works best for me) or try downloading with a different browser.
Exciting for the new update to come!
And btw the best free AVN game out there along with OIALT, from plots to characters and dialogues, it's all so intrigued for players to dive into the adventure 😄
