I define popularity as to how many people know about the title outside of places where they have a dedicated fanbase/following. BaDIK, for instance, is known even outside F95 and Itch.io due to its heavy presence on Steam and its large following on Patreon. Compare that to Eternum where, despite its ratings outshining BaDIK here and on Itch, isn't exactly known or played by many (at least, when you compare it to the likes of BaDIK or even StS).
Different strokes for different folks. I see people loathe Daz3D graphics but prefer the anime-esque renders of Honey Select 2 (which is what this VN uses). Other times it's the other way around. It's normal.
Compared to the dev's first game which had little to no sound in most scenes, Eternum's actually a massive improvement.
As opposed to the minigame and freeroam overdose that is BaDIK? People who like this game actually prefer their VN's to - you know - STAY mostly as VN's, and not try to reinvent the wheel every single damn update.
Personally I like it because It hearkens back to VN's like "Fate/Stay Night" and "Sōkō Akki Muramasa," where the story is less about trying to bang your way to kingdom come (which seems to be what the majority of Western AVN plots are centered on) and more about following an actual plot while the sex simply happens along the way. Granted, it doesn't completely do anything new, but I like how the dev just runs with it and writes a decent enough mystery/adventure story with interesting LI's and humorous moments (the latter two being the most praised elements). And a lot of people also feel the same, if the high ratings are any indication.
Yeah, I can see that. I don't like neither Daz, Illusion games, or anime style. Here's a thread about this topic: The Art Styles You Want to See in Adult Games? | F95zone
I see he is even using interstellar's soundtrack, wonder if it's legal or not though.
Yeah, it's not a bad thing to create a pure vn. Just quiz stuffs was not my thing.
To be honest, the story was the thing that bother me a lot. Not because it's story-based game, but it was too boring for me. And I love story-rich games.
Okay, can you name a single VN here with better sound effects? Also the soundtrack is like...probably the 2nd best behind BaD I would say.
To be fair...you probably won't stay here too long then...not exactly left with a lot of choice...
More of a legal grey area in that regard considering it's quite a short snippet and this game's technically distributed for free. There's also the fact that this isn't popular enough/has lesser visibility compared to the AVNs sold on Steam to warrant copyright holders to take a closer look. /shrugs
Baldur's Gate 3 is currently being hailed by a majority of gaming outlets and critics as this year's Game of the Year, yet you'll find people calling it boring as fuck despite its insane gameplay reactivity and branching paths. What is boring to you may not be boring to the folk who like it, and that's just normal. You don't have to force yourself, just as I don't force myself in playing games like BaDIK because I absolutely abhor the American Pie-esque plot and setting (and also how the dev seems to do stuff just for the coding challenge and not because he wants to do so in service to the story).
And as Alex and Dalia have pointed out, Charlotte's bras are doing miracles in keeping her saggy breasts from falling to the ground (and it's best if they remain unseen, at least one young lad if the choice is made found out about that the hard way and he'll have nightmares with them for some time).View attachment 3205843

For the sake of everyone's sanity in this thread...I sure hope so.

This gif will be among many posted here, ready to be used if her "things" are seen for whatever reason in the future:

So...not sure if this is even gonna work a second time around.
And very soon, that goddess is about to get some nookie (and the order of Saint Nova is going to be ecstatic when that happens).
You like that picture very much, huh?And very soon, that goddess is about to get some nookie (and the order of Saint Nova is going to be ecstatic when that happens).

I suspected it to be a cursed render, since I didn't remember that one either.That's actually good if you don't remember seeing it before because you'll need to be left out of Alex path (don't go to her appartment in 0.6) in order to make this scene happen.
I saw it for the first time while looking into the "images" folder of the game and saved it cause I think that's a pretty good render
I think you're confusing "sound effects" with OST, that's not the same and the AVN you mentionned has nearly no sound effects.
Be it rain sound, fire crakling, "door opening" or "horror" sound effects, Eternum is absolutly top notch on those, this is what makes the atmosphere of the game really gripping. In my opinion that make it the best AVN in terms of Sound effects on this site.
For the OST I think that's debatable, it's based more on people tastes but I think the musics are well chosen and fits the mood of the scene, especially for the emotional ones.
