Eternum
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Welcome!
I'm Caribdis and I'm creating Eternum, a choice-based visual novel made in Ren'py with tons of romance, mystery, humor, and much more!

Plot
You’re moving with your best friend to the city of Kredon, home to some of the best schools and universities in the country, to continue your studies. However, in Kredon, there’s only one thing everyone talks about: ETERNUM—the virtual, hyper-reality MMORPG game released a few years ago that revolutionized the world of technology.
With a neural implant that recreates the five senses, it becomes impossible to distinguish between the game and the real world.
Thousands of servers form the network of Eternum: from colorful, magic-filled fantasy worlds to foggy sci-fi cities, no world is beyond reach.
Nevertheless, looking beyond the surface, there's a darker side to this pretty facade: black markets, torture, rape, illegal content trafficking, unlawful assemblies, data theft… Eternum follows the rules of no man.
For some reason, governments turn a blind eye to this; there’s no regulation and no control. Some say it’s because the game is highly addictive, some say it’s because the market moves millions of dollars daily, some say those in power have been bribed, and others say… there’s something else going on.
And you? What’s your role in this story?
Well... That’s up to you now.

I'm gonna be honest, I downloaded this game originally because of the porn aspect. But as I played I was left shocked by how good the story is. Its a damn near a perfect game. I've replayed it so many times. Another thing is that unlike OiaLT where theres really only 2 main girls Eternum has great character developments for all the girls. Not to mention that the soundtrack is crazy good (and on that note you should totally bring back Come on Heartbreaker instrumental, which was last used in version 2.0! Its so fucking good!) In short I just wanted to say I love your game and cant wait for future updates!
You took the words right out of my mouth. I came here for the porn and got fucking backstabbed and jumpscared by an absolutely phenomenal story. I cannot wait for 0.8!
Dude I just finished 0.7 and its fucking amazing. Cant wait for 0.8 man keep it up with the fantastic story
Just finished the game as well. i think this is easily one of the best visual novel or adult game here. The other ones just felt like shit after i played this masterpiece
Yeah, most visual novels I played were just sex sex sex and didn't really have a good story. But this it just balances both adult scenes and the story.
You should also try Companion of Darkness too.
I agree with this thread.
I cannot get "Blah Blah Blah" out of my head. God, I love Penelope. <3
hey cari can u make an aspen irl?
Hello! I'm loving the game so far, it's absolutely amazing! I was just wondering if the game eventually "opens up" so to speak? I'm only just past the first week and so far my MC's schedule is always pre-determined, so I was wondering if that changes to a more open schedule similar to that of other Ren.py visual novel games?
On a different note, I don't think I've ever laughed harder when playing a game then when Micaela is first introduced and during the first yoga session with Nancy.
Yes it is determined, the important things is the choice in this game really matter. If you skip a part, you can really skip a Whole event in this game💀 so choose carefully. But thare Will be some event that you need to roaming a place to Continuing the story. You need to point and click in some event. Iike the horor server, the magic server, and the space ship server.
Remember , your choice is really important.
I played version 0.6 and the game is amazing 🥰, when will we get the French translation of version 0.7? can't wait 🤩
Why am I so invested in the plot, it's too good that's why
How do I add the archive rpa
1.Install apk.
2.Grant storage permissions on first run!
3.Close the game.
4.Copy the archive.rpa file to the documents/Ixalon/com.caribdis.eternum/game (create if does not exist).
Now you can play
Can someone give an estimate on how long before we get 0.8? 6months? 8 months?
however long it takes. It's painful but it's worth it. If taking longer means the game is amazing idc
If everything goes as planned. Before the end of the year.
Possibly October, at least I hope
Why I can't open the file of the game when i download it , i use an android and when i downloaded the apk and when i touch my screen to open it it says "you can't open the file" if anyone knows the problem please tell me
Use zarchiver and extract the zip file and install the apk and read the text first
Follow the included instructions that came with the app!🧐
You need to drag the game files to the folder address that the game requires.
Plans after Eternum?
I loved Once in a Lifetime and have loved this game so far. I only realised today /yesterday at 3am playing how long I've been following it's development... since I had saves from well back in 2022 on Eternum!! I played Once in a Lifetime before that too so fairly long term fan now jeez!
You make the games so well that it kind of ruins the horny game scene genre for me because once I finish the update I try playing other games and they're so boring in comparison and feel so emotionless compared. And ik i'm not the only person addicted to your games to the point where we feel empty after haha. The only other games I have actually enjoyed are the being a Dik games and Desert stalker but with respect to the developers, I mean they don't match the same vibes. The horror is on point, I sometimes feel myself having to check my room for some kind of monster, even0 as a grown a$$ adult since I usually play the game updates in the dark during early hours. Also the sad scenes make it really hard to enjoy the horny scenes sometimes haha which just shows the level of writing and emotional connection you create, I'm referring to one specifically as of 0.7 but in general the writing is just so good. The flirty scenes are well written and you could imagine them kind of things actually happening as opposed to it all being forced. I haven't spotted one text error either the game is pristine. The humour is so well done, especially when it links into those previously mentioned horror moments, enough to make you laugh but also having the uneasy feeling of suspense going on in the background. But the normal humour and horny related humour is funny too: "no more daydreaming about women for today" -> "ah, good morning Na-" *MC dies* (That bathrobe is a menace)
Ik some people want the art style looking more realistic (well I only actually saw one post ever about that), but the visuals are beautiful, especially the lighting, never change the art style it is absolutely stunning. Once in a lifetime looked amazing but going to this game I remember my jaw being wide open seeing some of the visuals, I forget I'm not playing some AAA title or watching a show with how immersive it is. The sound is done perfectly too.
Pretty sure I made a post on 0.5's or 0.6's release about how I had a temporary post-playing sadness period bc the games you make are that good and I feel it again dammit!
Anyway this went on too long I was actually just going to ask about any future plans you had after Eternum but got carried away. I'd love to see if there is some kind of link between the overall story of the 2 games and any future ones, or maybe even a direct sequel to Eternum (Please consider this!!!) or once in a lifetime in the future, or some kind of DLC. Like maybe Once in a lifetime could actually be a part of the Eternum story now due to the... recent developments in Eternum's storyline and what we know about it now... Trying to say stuff without spoilers haha but I'm sure you can work out what I mean. But that's if you actually have some kind of Marvel cinematic universe type vision for these game and don't just consider them separate. If you wanted I think it could open up so many wacky cool ideas in the future but honestly Idk how the story will end (but I know the next game will be just as cool and wacky) I do think I remember seeing the comedic reoccurring character from once in a lifetime in eternum for a scene but it was that long ago I'm not sure ( I forgot his name, but I remember you did a similar thing in eternum for a bit with that character who's name I forgot. Edit: just got to the scene - chop chop lmao.
I think I asked when you finished Once in a Lifetime if there was anyway you could carry it on because I was addicted to it and I think I did the same for 0.5 or 0.6's release and I'm gonna do it again because I reallyyyy wish the same for this one - you just get so attached to the characters and the whole Eternum story. It is so cool and it feels like the story is so rich that I will randomly think of one thing that I forgot I played through months ago with it feeling like a different game just due to the sheer amount of amazing content. And that's the main thing I love about this game, you just have stuff from every genre. Western, cyberpunk kind of elements, Ready player 1 elements, the medieval elements too. Like it's so ambitious and the game is trying to be so many different things and it works so well. I really hope you do this with your next game too it's so cool, the harry potter parody was hilarious too. Edit: The mystery is also so good but it's so interlaced with the horror and shock moments that I consider it all the same. Love the writing so much. even the transitions are so amazing, i always go back and try and see the hidden details in them, like how there is the glitched idriel popup screen whenever stuff gets all weird.
Whatever you decide to make in the future, we will all love it! As devastating as it would be never to see the characters from this game again (but it'd have to be involving Orion if you did bc he's protective of his girls yk haha), it wouldn't compare to the loss of having you never make another game after. So keep up the good work. Much love, Kp
p.s please give us an idriel nsfw scene and wenlin !!!
p.s.s if you haven't already you reallllyyy need to check out the YouTube comment's on the official music video of the song you used for that one scene with the orange car lmao. Best fans and community ->
Charibdis, you did an awesome job as always!!!
Btw, have you ever read the comments from the "BlahBlahBlah" song on YouTube? (The official "Camille de la Cruz" one)
Somehow a lot of people found this masterpiece, because of a photoshoot on an italien sportscar. It is super funny!
Wait people found the game because of the song as opposed to finding the song from the game??Where was this?
That is so cool and funny. I looked it up and the comments are all about this game haha. Shows carbidis' influence
u guys have no idea how much i love aspen
Aspen! :D
It's a great game.A very good game, too good!It's a great game. It's great. Update it quickly.A very good game, great, quickly update!
An excellent visual novel! The best thing I've seen. Please reassure me, will it be available for IOS? I'm really looking forward to it...
Hello Caribdis!
Thanks for Eternum and Once in a Lifetime (sadly without sound but its okay) both really great games with nice story hot girls ofc and details...
Only thing I hate is the long wait cuz im a person which cant wait even for my 2 day amazon shit lol but for a game like that its okay
- Only problem is that sound bug since 0.7 but im sure ur fixing it soon or with 0.8!
Cya
Also u little monkey for that cliffhanger thats hitting my brainnerv damn
11/10
First off, Caribdis, you are EVIL for that 0.7 cliffhanger!
Second, theorycrafting guys! I'm just spitballing here, but, to me, Chop Chop is something far more than he is. Every time he's popped up, I can't help but wonder what his real agenda is. I know he looks like a minor character, but I dunno why, something tells me he's far more important than he appears. He seems to have something pretty important every time you run into him. Any thoughts about this? I...honestly don't have much of an idea. If I had to guess, I'd say he probably has some relevance when it comes to Eternum being, um.....without spoiling anything for those who haven't gotten there yet....not 'just a video game'. Wouldn't be surprised that he knows something is special about MC and is trying to guide him in the right direction to get all the gems, but how that'd all be true, I have zero idea. Assuming that what the MC was told about Eternum was true. What do you think?
I had played once in a lifetime, so yes, I believe you are right in thinking Chop Chop is going to be more than he seems
I have a theory that Once in a lifetime could be one of the planes / planets / dimensions or whatever in Eternum. I hope so anyway that'd be such a cool revelation
Nope. Once in a Lifetime shares the same setting as Eternum, with the latter taking place more than a decade after the events of OIAL. The info about it is posted on the FAQ page on Cari's Discord, with the timeline based on what Judie said about Eternum launching a year from then and Orion's monologue where he said that it's been more than a decade since release.
Also, Orion's monologue at the beginning mentioned "Former President Stabb (Michael Stabb was Stabby Mike's real name as revealed in the OIAL Harem end)," so yeah it's been a while ever since.
I just want everyone to know I picture Chop-Chop with the voice of Leo Wong from Futurama
And I picture him with voice of caboose from red vs blue!!
Bro, really? You're leaving us on a cliffhanger like that?
Some how I got Luna greyed out in V7.
Need a walkthrough?
If u don't have enough affection points from previous versions then a few decisions u make in 0.7 may result in Luna being greyed out
By far best storyline and beautiful scenes!
i love aspen
This game is a masterpiece! I just finished it twice, i love how was the story written, Luna and her dad is my favourite characters! I hope on 0.8 Mr Hernandez will have more screentime. Awesome game. 10/10
I hope Eternum's creators see this, and I just wanted to say the following:
I'm not sure if this is a team effort or a single dev, but omg you (you guys) crushed it with this game. I started playing during 0.6, and I'm now playing through 0.7, and the way that you weave characters and narratives together is amazing. This game is unlike any other porn-driven game i've ever played. It focuses on just the right things all while still being hot and fun. I love your characters and how human they feel. Luna and her dad crack me up every time and it's so cool that you managed to capture the essence of fun relationships like them, and Dalia and Orion. Thank you for making this amazing experience free to play, and good luck in future developement.
- A satisfied fan and supporter
(P.S - I hope someday we can learn more about Eva from the blurred realities scene, she's... intriguing.)
I recently lost my phone, and with that my save game file for the end of 6. Is there a way to install the game, and start at the beginning of 7, and not the first chapter?
Thanks a lot!
if you dont find a way to start at the beginning of 7, I would recommend changing your preferences in gameplay under the skip options to skip unseen scenes/text , I was thinking about this scenario the other day where if I somehow lost my save what i would do. Yea you still have to fast forward through so much , I think it's better than clicking through.
How would you guys describe the theme/genre of the story? I'm currently on my first playthrough and I'm loving it. I was just curious if there were other games out there that delve into the same themes of shang ri la frontier and solo leveling. I wanted to find more experiences that deal with simulation breaking and "chosen one" vibes.
Also this game is awesome, its just a shame when I tell people about this awesome visual novel I have been playing I don't wanna name drop because they'd think im a filthy horn dog lol. Great job Caribdis I loved once in a liftetime and didn't think anything could top that, it shows how creative and passionate your team is. Too late to discover the earth, too early to explore the stars, but born just in time to play this master piece of a "video game". this is definitely realer than real.
Truthfully there's no game like Eternum. The level of production and quality is shocking. Even in pay-to-play porn games, the plot and characters are never this good. I enjoyed Desert Stalker and Knightly Passions, but both either lack the quality of design or quality of intimate scenes, Eternum nails both, all while keeping an amazing narrative like you said. Genuinely hyped for the future of the game, and more of my thoughts are available right above your comment.
"Realer than real"... I think means more than meets the eye. We will see!
i love eva
Oh yeah keep edging us Cari nnnngh~ My ochinchin's bout to go bakuhatsu 😩😩😩
Any progress update for 0.8?
2% so far
Where can I follow this progress?
you may join the discord server to keep updated

This was my first visual novel I've ever played. I... I'm in utter shock at how good it is. I love it. I've not felt something tug on my heartstrings as much as Eternum has. I am sat on the edge of my seat wanting a time machine so I can go into the future and see the finished game.
A very solid and well deserved 10/10. I will wait with bated breath for the next update.
It's not gonna end in 3 chapters. Latest estimate by dev is that it'll go for 12-14 chapters total.

That is music to my ears. Thank you so much for informing me!
Thank you for sharing that information! This is awesome!
Same here. This is the first visual novel I have ever played, and I am glad it was this. Eternum is amazing. And I cannot wait for 0.8.
Are you kidding me? I can't wait for 0.8. Caribdis you evil genius, I love you! That is one of the best games I've ever played. Not even limited to this genre.
Agreed. I hope Orion ends up alright in 0.8 I am rooting for my BOY!
Amazing update, if there was a GOTY for this kind of games this should definetly be at the top
It is a goty for avn and eternum has won a few im pretty sure a few but ik they have won atleast 1
Where can i find that kind of information,i want to see the previous goty winner to try it by myself
Maybe from reddit?
how i restart The game
The game is amazing! Definitely 10/10, waiting for 0.8!
is it safe to install
Of course
NOOOOOOOOO! I just finish the game it is amazing!!! I can't wait for the next update!!!! thank you so much for making this!!! I cam e to this game after playing Ripples and that was an amazing game too. Now I'll check out "Once in a Lifetime." again, thank you so much for this game.
I'm getting some kind of error, where some replays on the Gallery somehow gets locked.
Then I have to revisit this scene, by getting back on some save and skipping 'till get the scene again. Anyone had this issue?
Same!, but I'm glad I have the habit of saving before a sex scene. lol
What's the latest version? And how to know what version I'm playing on?
Well, I replayed this MAGNIFICENT game from the start til the end of 0.7 to refresh my memory... What a pleasure I had!
I wonder, would my assumption about the story continuation after the point at the end of 0.7 be legit... Cause I don't want it to be and I want the author to turn it the other way... But we will see! THANK YOU FOR YOUR AMAZING WORK, MAN! Or woman! Whatever you are, thx!
