An amazing game from an incredible dev. I just finished Once in a Lifetime after catching up to the current version of this game. I have never loved a game so much that i honestly dont even know what to say in this review. Like if youre reading this right now and you havent caught up to the current update AND played all of Once in a Lifetime, please god do yourself the service of playing both of these game. 


Caribdis you have gained another supporter for life, thank you for making my nights better <3

(+1)

Thank you so much for your support!! 💗💗

How long until the next update

As of now the next version is at 38%

so it will be release before christmas again?

(+2)

It depends I think. CARIBDIS is working fast on it if no problem arises in the days to come and he stays in good health then I estimate it will be released in late September or mid October  but that's just my estimation no one knows what will happen 

lets hope he doesnt experience any illness or have any major hindrance
this game keeps making cliffhanger that make the community itchy for new content

I think Chang has a brain problem.

We don't speak poorly of Chang here.

I'm positive that this is the best visual novel I've ever played.  And so far, it may be one of my favorite pieces of fiction in this genre from any medium.

  The setting is well crafted and interesting, with lots of cool twists and turns with effective foreshadowing and lampshading as needed.  It's not too heavy on the exposition and keeps moving forward through character conversations and actions.  Too many developers rely on big blocks of uninteresting text to tell their stories, but Eternum's world comes to life through its colorful characters.  It leaves me craving more.  Top-notch writing.

I won't comment too much on the flavors of spice presented since that's more subjective, except to say that they are portrayed very well. The animations and visuals are excellent all around.  But the thing that makes them work so well is the context, the framing, the dialogue, and the tone. It's your typical harem game with college-age young adults we've seen a hundred times, but it's so wholesome and sincere that it just makes me feel nice while playing it.  The characters, even the non-sexualized ones, are really funny and endearing and a joy to spend time with.  I cheer every time the shopkeeper comes back into the story, and there are many other examples.

I also appreciate that there aren't complicated game mechanics like character stats or an inventory.  Even the money you earn seems to be more like a story gate than an actual number you need to worry about.  It's all about the story.  The branching paths, as far as I can tell, amount to little beyond locking the player out of content with specific characters if they pick the wrong choice.  However, I will admit to feeling a sense of satisfaction when I'm able to easily know what options to pick because I know the characters so well.  The choices are like a quiz to see if you've been paying attention, and if you get it right, that leads to better outcomes with the love interests.  Some folks may not like that, but it didn't hamper my enjoyment in any way.  Thankfully, there is a good amount of feedback in the writing to let the player know if they've made a good choice or not, making it obvious when you need to rollback and pick something different.

The only mild criticism I can manage is that some of the major plot events are glossed over and resolved more easily than I would like.  Each chapter ends with a cliffhanger that feels very important, with major implications for the story.  However, those cliffhangers get resolved almost instantly in the opening screens of the following chapter.  I'd love to see some of these major events, like what happened to the protagonist at the end of 0.7 to make larger waves in the narrative.

Overall, wonderful story.  It's the kind of thing I'll keep archived on my hard drive and come back to every once in a while for fun.  I cannot wait to see how this all plays out.  And btw, if Caribdis would like a beta reader on the script, I'll sign whatever NDA they want.  I'm an amateur self-published author writing similar types of stories, and I know the value of in-depth feedback.  

Keep up the amazing work, and thanks for making this.

Thank you so much for your review! <3

Absolutely hooked, doing a brilliant job on this one!

Hey devs, first of this game was great a friend recommended it to me a few months back and I got hook from the lore I hope it can get better. Secondly you're doing a great job so you should rest from time to time. And lastly I have this trouble on my Android phone since my version is Android 14 it keeps crashing and tossing me out I tried everything but nothing worked. So I hope this gets fixed still haven't played this new update. Overall though it's good. Thank you for the game!

I like the character of Matt. Hope she can have more scenes

Have you played the latest content (0.8) if not then you should catch up on it- she does make a small cameo (no sex scene though). But yeah I want more of Maat- her character is interesting

各位朋友,有没有人能够指导一下,怎样在游戏内更改字幕语言,我使用的安卓设备,下载列表里面的中文也下载了,但是不知道怎么操作,有朋友能够帮忙解答吗?

(1 edit)

下载中文安卓版是不需要进行任何设置的,直接显示中文,无论是菜单还是对白

如果非要问在哪设置,应该是在Preferences--Language--中文

Is anyone else having this issue with the character being locked after some time having them unlocked?

(+3)

It's not an issue actually. The character gets locked once you make a bad choice. You basically lose them for the rest of the story.

(+5)

I would highly recommend the passive walkthrough mod linked above.  Works great, easy to install, will just highlight green or red choices to keep you from borking a romance path.

It will be boring using a walkthrough mod my advice is just to concentrate on the choices when they pop up and if you get confused and don't know what to choose just press the back button and make another choice also keep your eyes on the heart icon it will blink red when you make a right choice and grey out when it's a wrong one always remember you're romancing the characters so you need to know their likes and dislikes so to not fall in any wrong choice and I hope my explanation is helpful for to you 😊

I agree, conventional walkthrough mods that show the correct decision right away take all the fun out of it. Passive walkthrough mods wait for you to make a decision first and then give feedback if necessary, that's an improvement already.

Playing the game blind and just keeping an eye on affection point gains works with simple [+1/+0] decisions, but creative devs will often implement more intricate decisions where this trick won't work. Eternum has these too.

Right now I'm working on "Causality" mods, which are the ultimate compromise: They are very similar to passive walkthrough mods, but they are also a lot smarter, which allows for more player agency. They still soothe your fomo, but immersion wise, it feels almost as if you weren't using any guidance at all. I already created such a mod for Once in a Lifetime, try it if all this sounds interesting to you! I'm always looking for feedback.

Haha you made the very obviously bad choices. 

Lemme guess..Dalia, you probably didn't follow her after the competition? Or blabbed about her secret Beach? Or were a creep during the sandstorm? Alex you likely blew it and didn't go to her apt when she was sick. Annie could be a few things, NO clue how you screwed up with Nancy. 

Personally all the correct choices are very obvious haha, and you can just rewind if you mess up, not keep playing past it. Just start a new game, and use the guide. Or reload an old save, should always have a lot with these kinds of games.

Describe this within 1 word?...


Astonishing...

Hey... haven't I seen you around before?

(+1)

Well it's just that I didn't have time to visit this one, so is NiiChan's creation, however, I would still love to edit this.. actually I have some of it... Check my Vimeo account scroll to the bottom, you might just see it there...

Yeah, I get that. I remember your edits, because you've told me about them before, lol. I was making a joke. 

(+1)

Yo! Been a while!, I miss editing this VN...

(2 edits)

Is there a way to continue with the same save in 0.9 when it releases? 

(1 edit)

Yes there is... All you have to do is replace the archive.rpa with the latest one in ixalon folder, after that your saves will be there but the game will continue to the latest version... Hope that helps...

Ty bruv

With archive.rpa, what is actually stored there?

All the games data I think it's what makes the game running without it you won't be able to play the game with just the APK

Correct. It contains all the game's data, so if you replace it with the latest one, it'll work just fine without skipping from the start all over again, that is such a hassle so I tried and yes, it did work...

 I kind of moved my save file out of place by accident, which folder should I put it back in?

Hello everyone, how to change subtitles to Chinese on Android?

(1 edit)

I'm like...idk, 8ish hours (I've lost track) into the game so far and just wanted to ask if there's ever some point where you're able to actually stop and choose what to do with your time, or if it's just one continuous story since that's how it's been so far.
Which isn't a bad thing I guess, though typically when you open a game like this you aren't expecting like one sex scene within 2 or 3 hours x-x
But at least the characters and story have been enjoyable so far anyway. I like a nice buildup...though it's hard to plan any time around this game.
Rip Kermi.
The scream I scrempt as I knew exactly what was about to happen lol

(+1)

it is a continuous story from what I have discovered. There is not really a save point, but you could technically stop at any time. If you want a stopping point, i'd reccommend stopping after doing something like a mission in eternum, or after maybe meeting with one of the girls

You can save at literally any time haha 😅 just open menu, save. Just loads back up exactly where you are.

I get that, it's just I'm used to most games like this giving you the option to pursue different stuff at your leisure or have some sort of home point that makes each part of the story feel separated, so it's a lil awkward I guess. Maybe it's just that it feels like it's progressing very slowly this way.

(+1)

One of the best visual novel ever made. I'm surprised how complex this games is. 

While waiting for the Next update, I recommend playing Wildcats by lopaphi

https://lopaphi.itch.io/wild-cats


I already finished playing both latest version and I still can't decide which one is the top one lol. Both of them have girls that makes you crazy and both have well written story 🔥

I agree but I gotta go with Eternum. The twists and turns of the story are just too good. Only problem is that I don't know who the best girl is - Nova or Alex :P

What do you mean best girl? They're all best girl. Each of us only have preferences so I gotta go for penny. Like..I love how bold she is, I knew in the first place, by dragging her BF along side to be dominated in front of camera even before I could see on my own eyes.

I agree with Y0RUT0, but if I'd have to choose, I'd go with Nova:

Annie is very cute and super pretty with an amazing figure, but she is a bit too small for me and there is somethign that pushes me away

Nanny is super hot and sexy and damn that body, but I am not really into women that are that much older than me

Penny is also super hot, sexy and has an amazing figure, but it is a but much imo

Dalia same as with Penny tbh

Luna is very pretty, super cute and has a very nice figure, but the vibe she gives off is just not for me

Alex is very hot and has an incredible figure, but her face is a bit too much of a hottie (best way for me to discribe it)

Nova is very cute, so super pretty and has an amazing figure on par with luna, alex and annie. But what pulls me towards her is her personallity, her face and hair and that everything is nicely proportioned to her height.

Wildcats is also a very good work, the plot is good, and the girls are very cute. I like it very much. 

M.B.I.M.L can rival 😏

this is the best novel ever played. pls dont stop updating!!!!

I won't!

(+6)

I downloaded this game for the horny, but little did I know the experience I'd have. I fell in love with the game. I've felt so much. From genuine fear in the spooky sections, to tears, to loud and proud laughter. I'm enthralled, to the point I'm here for the story and less for the spice. This entire game would be peak without the spice, but its there to sell it even more. And God DAMN IT!! MVP CHANG!!! ALL MY HOMIES LOVE CHANG!! If there is ever a sequel, Chang better be in it. All I care about. 

he probably will be, considering his equivalent character in charibdis' other project, being stabby mike from once in a lifetime is mentioned in this. he may even make an appearance, but its been some time since i played.

Cari has said that his next game will likely be set in a different universe. So we probably wont see Chang again after Eternum

when i try to download it says its hosted on a 3rd party, what is the third party? i need to know, pleas

brother you are amazing, thank you so much

You’re welcome and enjoy the game! My advice is to get through the first hour, past the café quiz, before judging the game. It may seem a little boring at first, but it picks up very quickly after that!

Is it possible to move my android save file too my windows PC? Because I've played the full game on my phone but the pc version feels so much better. I am not really willing to replay the whole game if i know how everything ends so would it be possible to just move my save file?

Try the skip function

(+2)

Eternum doesnt fall under "Story Rich"????

a goat sex of the game

(+1)(-1)

Is the ending when the protagonist arrives with Calypso's father?

In the end, it says that the story will continue in 0.9, is the game still being updated or not anymore?

(+1)

Caribdis puts alot of work into his games so the updates take awhile but it will be finished

(+1)

That's not her father but a mere servant. A guard as i say

(+1)

Yeah, that is the current ending, Orion and Calypso somehow teleported to Hyl-ar or Idk, I kind of forgot the name.


And yes the game will be updated, silly 😅, this game is peak, man. So there no way that Cari will abondon this.

This game is incredible.

(1 edit) (-8)

Greetings, Caribdis,my you be a lady or a gentleman. I propose that Calypso be elevated to a main character. Should this not be feasible?perhaps you might consider substituting her in place of Annie, whose presence is rather vexatious,her childish and clingy demeanor angered me, well if not then I accept. Again thank you

Why did she anger you

(-6)

Her childish and clingy demeanor

(+5)

I agree that Calypso should be promoted to the eighth heroine, but I don't think Annie should be replaced. I like Annie very much. I think Annie is cute and energetic. She is also a girl. Isn't it right for her to have some little thoughts like a girl? In the story, Annie always thinks about everyone. She always wants to do more when she is on a mission. It's just that most servers limit Annie's ability. When dating the protagonist in the restaurant, it was the waiter who ignored Annie and kept harassing the protagonist, so Annie got angry. Wouldn't you be angry when someone flirts with your partner in front of you? The most important thing is that Annie is the first one to know and has the best relationship with the protagonist, but after the protagonist met other people, Annie did not compete for them. She always gives silently and has a good relationship with everyone. I don't understand why such a cute and sensible girl would anger you.

(-10)

You're profile is HELLA ugly

(+5)

Stop the negativity my friend if you don't like a character that's on you the majority of the player's like Annie she is cute, lovable, loyal her energy and smile is contagious so what's their to hate so keep your opinion to yourself and stop spreading negativity and respect other people's opinions please 

(-8)

Kid why don't you handle you're own fucking business

(+4)

The irony.

Haters are losers

You old fuck why don't you go fuck yourself with your women-lacking moldy dick some where else? Like your smelly shithole basement of your parents' house?

but nothing can beat the moment Annie stairs down the waitress who is flirting with you on your first date..... it is LITERAL COMEDY GOLD! little Annie turned psycho killer in the blink of an eye.

so

good

i really liked the story, seemed well thought out. during the entire game i only saw one typo so it's made very well. i wish it had more diverse girls though, thats the main thing that bothered me. the ending also felt very abrupt in 0.8. i wasnt expecting it to end there. also was a bit creepier than expected. i hate horror and scary stuff. i appreciate how long the story is. very immersive.

(-9)

strange looking vaginas. do you or your artist not know what a woman looks like.

Man you suck

Man, shut the fuck up, this game is peak...

Fuck Annie! Here's a save file

https://www.mediafire.com/file/cavfe9eusi72cdm/Eternum.zip/file


Anyways can y'all recommend me some good AVN with heavily story based and specifically MALE MC (I don't wanna play as a girl who gets banged by 8 different dudes) oh and no fucking NTR

(-1)

i have downloaded the previous version 0.7 before downloading how do i update it? should i delete the previous version or keep it and download the new one?? (im preventing app crash and other stuff)

Recommended pc requirements? I just dont wanna blow my pc up with insane graphics. Playing anyways before info given.

(+1)

My brother. Don't bother. My A22 Helio android 12 could ran it smoothly. So I doubt you're PC can't

If a phone can (which in a lot of scenarios is worse than a PC unless the PC is potato, which mine isn’t) my PC probably can.

Well what pc is it?

RTX 3050 AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core 16GB of RAM (upgrading soon)

Ofc that could run it A22 Helio is considered one of the weakest and it could still run eternum so no argue that you're PC could run it

(1 edit) (+1)

Ahh every 2 minutes not so bad to play before the blackscreen and close own game even with this crisis on the game every 2 minutes I'm not losing my temper I guess it's not too bad you know how can I hate the game it's masterpiece I'm enjoying the game with the problem I got on my game i even almost finished the first part.. but I hope this will be fix soon love you caribdis❤️

what version in android guys I got 0.8m.zip if I start download? 

0.8 is correct 

Oky thx

how long is the play time?

(1 edit) (+3)

I can't tell you for certain, but I played this for hours at a time over several days. I don't think you'll get through it in under 20 hours. My only piece of advice, though, is get through the first half, after the quiz scene in the cafe, before making any judgements.

Why can't I comment on the Discord server?I



I played your 2 games, and i liked so much, waiting for the Eternum 2!!

(+4)

This is hands down the best visual novel i have ever read. I hope that there is no plan to cancel this one and i really hope there is much more story still to wright. This one really sucks you in. The story is amazing. There girls are Gorgeous. And have amazing personalities. The lewd parts are very well done but they dont take over the story. Which is very refreshing. I hate reading a VN and having a sex scene every 10 mins. The build up to the relationships with all the girls in this one is great. I love this VN and i highly recommend it!

I feel the exact same way as you. This game is just... perfect. Nothing will ever top Eternum.

(+1)

facts

(+1)(-9)

Nah it isn't the best. I mean it could've been the best if they kicked Annie's annoying ass off the fucking game and maybe replace it by some cute Japanese long haired with bangs and thick booty with jiggly titties

(+5)

Annie slander won't be tolerated! 😠

But seriously tho... How can you hate on Annie? She's just a shy and caring friend who happens to have a crush on you. She even gave you 1500$ ffs. If that doesn't show you that she's a keeper then what will? There's absolutely no reason to find Annie annoying 

(+1)(-6)

Well yeah that's the annoying part. She has a crush on the mc and too clingy. Motherfucking bitch

(-5)

yea she isnt my favorite mostly because of how childlike she looks and acts. i really liked Luna and Penny

(-4)

Ah glad to have someone with the right mind as me

Deleted 14 days ago

Annie is perfect. And she's the most attractive out of all the girls in my opinion. Its not all about a huge flabby ass and huge tits. 

(+2)

I'm just starting the game and loved the reference to stabby mike <3
