VN - Ren'Py - Eternum [v0.8.0] [Caribdis]

A brilliant game with a gripping, fantastic story. The sexy characters are exceptionally well done and full of life.
It feels like a playable, living anime... with intense and great lewd scenes.

There should be many more games of this special quality.

@Caribdis: Great work! I wish you all the best!

One of the best if not the best game out here. Caribdis already proved himself with his first game Once in a Lifetime which is an amazing game.

10/10 Game

Fantastic story and really hot girls!
One of the very few gems of ero-games that actually have a really interesting world and story behind the sexy girls.
Oh and the Eternum world concept is already good baseline for a fun and interesting storytelling. Worth reading every word of this game.
10/10 game in all aspects from me.!

Very nice game. Graphics and audio are great, lots of beautiful girls in different styles, multiple locations, nice pace, good storyline, humor that actually made me smile and laugh, and a sidekick that got your back

I just can't find words. Absolutely mindblowing.
Story, animation, characters... I can't say any bad about this.
There are everything that need to be there. Humor, action, drama, mixed bag of emotions. Balanced perfectly. Craving for more and more!

Caribdis...You need to be in the entertainment industry.
Movie, TV Series, Videogames... anything. Period.

One of the best Harem VN (easily in top 5 VN you can play) and certainly the best honey select VN.
Simply its a Masterpiece the visuals are the best honey select you can find in any VN, the soundtrack is amazing and the story is also great moreover the universe of the story is impressive and the world is realy beautiful.
The dialogues where very good and the relation and dialogues between MC and the Lis was extremely enjoyable with great dialogues and great humor, i had many good laughs while playing the VN.
The MC is very good and quite capable the Lis are all extremely beautiful and interesting and with their own unique personalities furthermore in my opinion they are among the best LIs you can find in any Harem VN.
Finally i extremely enjoyed this masterpiece and i highly recommend it and of course I have bookmarked it and i can't wait for the next update.
11/10

Simply Excellent, few games on the site that always keep you waiting for something great, I hope to advance the time to be able to play it already finished, a truly magnificent masterpiece.

Peak artistic writing, superb visuals!
Caribdis reminds me a lot like some great manga-artist, where writing and art just tell a different and more immersive story - in the AVN entertainment story telling medium, Cari is and will (hopefully for as long as he can) remain a GOAT candidate for everyone - for me he just is!

Eternum by Caribdis is an engrossing visual novel, merging fantasy, romance, and action seamlessly. Its artwork is stunning, from the character and background design to incredible attention to detail. Rich in story, full of unexpected twists, and charged with emotional depth from the very beginning, it easily draws players into the story. The characters are fleshed out, each with unique personalities and backgrounds that make you truly care about their fates. Your choices do matter in this game and will affect the outcome. There is replay value, given this aspect of it. With its entertaining narrative, memorable characters, and stunning visuals, Eternum is a title that any visual novel enthusiast should have on their radar.
THIS GAME ITS NOT JUST A GAME IT'S MASTERPIECE RECOMMENDING TO ALL!!!

Eternum is a visual novel that stands out due to its immersive storytelling, engaging characters, and interactive gameplay. Set in a rich, detailed world, the game mixes elements of fantasy, sci-fi, and romance, offering players a diverse experience.

Rating: 8.5/10

Storyline: The plot is well-crafted, with a strong narrative that keeps players invested. Its twists and turns add layers of intrigue, and the character development is deep, making the choices matter.

Gameplay: The interactive elements of the game, including decision-making, are enjoyable. However, some players may find the pace slow at times. The choices you make influence the progression, which is a positive for replayability.

Visuals and Art: The artwork is stunning, featuring well-designed characters and backgrounds. The animations, while sometimes limited, still capture the mood effectively.

Audio: The soundtrack enhances the experience, adding to the emotional weight of scenes, though voice acting could be expanded in future updates.

Goodness: Eternum excels in delivering a strong narrative, a visually appealing world, and rewarding gameplay. Though it could improve in certain areas, such as animation fluidity and pacing, it remains a top-notch visual novel for fans of
the genre.

This game is truly outstanding, offering a fantastic blend of engaging scenes and a compelling story. The balance between the narrative and humour is impeccable, keeping the experience both entertaining and emotionally engaging throughout. The writing manages to bring moments of levity without undermining the serious or heartfelt elements of the story.

Even if very specific, I'd like to tell you my relation with this AVN.

Last year, I bought a Quest 2. Euro/American Truck Simulator, Skyrim, VaM. It was awesome.
But somehow, this game, while drunk and of VR, brought me the best "fantasy" experience.
At some point, I was IRL drunk and arrived the... prom night? How fitting.
The timing (in my own life), the lenght of the whole scene... It felt "me" but in someone else's skin. Nova then Penelope? (BTW, add Y'ALL in your games the walkthrough please) felt a dream come true.
Not a loser anymore. I won it all. And felt at peace with miself.
Sexuality is not something that should be harnessed or ashamed, but understood. We live with it, we don't escape it.

I still am a looser, but I'm REALLLY working on it. Buying a cheap house soon.
And YES, I DO think this game helped me moving on in my life.

One of the games that sets a standard on F95, and proves that if you take your time, you can make something really interesting!

Story, Animation, Pacing and more, it's done really well.

If you need a game to dig your teeth into, this is one of them.

Review as of 7.5 update.

Characters 5/5

It has Nancy and Calypso as udder perfection, no arguement needed, best women. Now that the truth is out of the way, all characters are written in a way thats believable and you can emotiionally invest yourself in them. All the love interests have a distinct personality and their own agency. Very solid character writing. MC even has a male friend which is nice. Orion, the MC has a personality of his own while allowing you to self insert.

Story 5/5

A very fun sci-fi story to read. Action, romance, mystery, horror etc. The game has it all. Comedy, subjective to each person, can be hit or miss and can over stay its welcome in a couple spots. For my tastes is was mostly hit. Dialogue flows naturally and organically so it sounds like real conversations. One downside is again, the comedy can drown out some of the serious moments.

Renders 6/5

8th world wonder on how much Cardi and the modders got out of Honey Select 2. The gold standard in renders. You can tell a lot of pain staking time when into the renders. You wont leave disappointed in render quality.

Asses 10/5

As an ass and leg man. Knocked it out of the park. Nancys ass... OMG. Dalias ass.. OMG. Penny's ass.OMG

Animations 6/5

Top tier in the AVN world. Nancys scene... mama knows how to ride in the way only a sexy mature lady knows how to ride. Jesting aside, all animations are hot asf except Novas. Ok Novas is hotasf too with her energetic ass. The camera work is excellent, angles are awesome. Just needs a car chase and Tom Cruise esque running in a future update and we got ourselves a blockbuster.

Horsecock/10

I dont like it, makes me feel insecure. Its not outrageously forearm big, like 2 hands big. Orion be packing some heat down there. Personal taste.

UI 5/5

Simple and it works. Has a gallery to see all of Nancys greatenss and the wonderful genes passed down to see some more of her 2nd hand greatness. And Nova if your into that. Each love interest has their own character sheet with a few little quick facts. Nice little touch, would be nice to know what Calypso's favorite movie is though. #SIDEgirlsNEEDlove2.

Music

I mute everything, PTSD from random moaning inserted into the music instead of sound in other games. No idea if its good or not in Eternum. Not going to risk it to find out.

Sex 4/5

I know, I know, hyped all that shit up only to give this a 4/5. Later half of the P into V scenes have a similar vibe story wise if that makes sense. Will probably get spiced up the closer to end game we get.

Patreon -10000/10

Robbing us of the forbidden fruit.

I 100% recommend this game to anyone and if you're able, subscribe to the subscribstar and support the Devs fantastic work.

I think this one has about the same issues as some of the other popular AVN has.
From a porn game perspective, there is clearly not enough content (2-3 scenes per girl so far). Not a big problem - if the plot, character, setting, etc, are good enough, then the scenes are just a bonus right?
But if you look at this game from a non-porn game perspective, it gets a bit rough because porn-logic is used everywhere.
All girls are somehow top-model level of beauty. The 39 years old looks younger than most 25 years old in real life.
They are all single, somehow, despite being pretty open to relationship and generally fairly horny (some of them especially), apparently having waited so long for the MC to give them a good dicking. They all get talked into naughty things fairly easily.
Girls are walking stereotype for the most part. Alex and Nova are a bit interesting but others I have seen a thousand times already.
MC can casually be 7-timing the group of girls, some of them who are constantly talking to each other, but no one minds apparently. Some of them actually fantasize about the whole polyamorous and sharing thing.
Only girls are allowed to become proper allies, because...huh...I guess because wasting time on character that will not be fucked is a waste of time?
Men are either antagonists or comedic relief. Proper care is taken to make sure they are not seen as potential rival.
MC is chosen one, everything goes his way, be it in the main plot or in the girl's hearts. His cock makes porn stars ashamed of their size. When he goes fuck a prostitute, the prostitute says "No need to pay, it was just that good!". When he goes on a date with girls, he randomly find world-class treasures. He is generally rewarded for making poor decisions, which can be confusing if you play without a guide.
I could go on, there is a lot of stupid things to talk about I think, but I think I made my point. None of the above would be a big issue if I saw it as a porn game, but as I said in the beginning, it's hard for me to see it as one.

I guess I'm being pretty harsh in all fairness.

This is as good as AVNs get. The story is very engaging. While the concept is basically a carbon copy of Ready Player One, I don't think that's bad or stale as that idea is quite open-ended, and it allows you to explore many different fantasy worlds and includes many fun pop culture references.

The execution is top notch. Jokes are actually funny. The graphics are incredible and some animations actually made my jaw drop.

And of course the lewd scenes are HOT. This game also manages to make every LI loveable and worth pursuing. So yes for me this is GOAT of AVNs and there's not even really any close competition. Eternum is just miles ahead

This game is the best. period. There's a reason this dev has 2 games in the top 5 of all time. The storytelling, character and world building are phenomenal. Very immersive. Every update leaves you on the edge of your seat! This is my #1 recommendation for any game on this site by far.

This is one of the best games out there: with a compelling story, likeable characters and attractive women. It is a very high quality game and the creator has poured a lot of creativity in it. It is top notch: give it a try!

Sex is perfectly combined with storyline,thus making it unique in all of my collections.

Besides,love all the characters.They are smart,have their own personalities and don't have disgusting plastic face looks.

Many VN games don't really interesting to me but this one is the most awesome game and the greatest, first VN game I play. Story is fun,feel lovely and chill, thrilling... good writing from developer. Character kinda cute, 3D character is not my type but still. The game still in develop so I'll wait for more next story hehe
Absolutely fabulous, 5⭐for this game!!
