You must imagine as in many other works of this kind as could be .hack anime series or the shit of Sword Art Online or the good story of Yggdrasyl in Overlord anime... The ppl who enter into a VR that it is so immersive, their bodies enter in a state near coma or some kind of shit like that, in some cases it is prohibit for security reasons to logoff without the means the game have... The ppl in those stories end in best cases as did in Overlord, in an Isekai, but if doesn't their case they became trap in the game.

I mean, Astral Projection is a thing. The theory that I subscribe to at the moment is that the neural implant is basically a magitech solution that is able to induce Astral Projection in a reliable and consistent fashion (no more meditating for hours or hypnosis or shrooms needed). If said theory is true, then that would explain a couple of things: why you're still able to come back to your body after dying in Eternum if the latter is revealed to be real (in most fiction with the concept, if your Astral Body dies you basically just wake up), why the Astral Body could possibly exist in Eternum even when the body is deceased ("excommunication" might be a form of magic that de-links your Astral Body from your real body, the process ultimately killing the latter while trapping the former), why Eternum could be accessed by some via dreams as implied by the Space Station audio logs (because it either resides in the Astral Plane or IS the Astral Plane/Dreamlands), why Ulysses are using neural links on NPCs with dead people's faces (because they're Astral Bodies whose real bodies have perished/"excommunicated" and may give the truth away to the other players once realization kicks in), and why it all feels so damn real (because your entire brain and nervous system is utilized in the process, allowing you to feel the entire experience and remember it vividly, unlike in most stories where the Astral Body just floats around or isn't even able to feel anything other than watch).
The theory of course, would imply that if you fuck a person in Eternum, you're basically fucking someone's brains out...literally.

The only "real" contact MC has had is with Annie. I haven't played the current release, but it looks like there's something maybe beyond the thighjob from early in the game. I don't think it's full intercourse yet, but don't know.

That's not even vaguely close to how human anatomy works. Lactation can be caused without pregnancy, sure, but it requires either hormone treatment or incredibly focused stimulation of the nipples and mammaries, ideally both in combination. Thinking milky thoughts won't do shit.

0.4 Review
Just finished 0.4. Cari never pulls any punches, he throws straight up uppercuts, and this one was no different. This update also seemed a lot more lore heavy than the others. Here is a full review of the update.
Heist
Chang actually did something correctly for once, who would have thought? Cari actually managed to design a pretty decent heist plot as well. And hey, we got to have NOVA as our wife, that alone is worth +100 points for that event. Wish there was a lewd scene with wifey NOVA though. Please Cari, please continue the narrative in a future lewd scene with her.
Dalia's Competition
Probably the most memorable part of this update for me. I really like Dalia as an LI, all she needed was a vulnerable moment to bind her to the MC, and the fight did just that. Her opening up to the MC in The Cove is alone worth this update, the BJ was just the cherry on top. I literally shed a tear on the scene where you tell Chang the password.
Date with Annie
Cari absolutely outdid himself in the Xenomorph event. The lewd scene, the voice notes, the chilling atmosphere (was done better in the Red Herring though), and Chop-Chop coming in clutch with the Pendant of Destiny, just amazing. It's been so long since I have played a mystery game with voice notes, I really wish that section was longer.
Fancy Dinner
Really lore heavy section, and since Fan Theories seem quite popular for the time being, I'll collect my thoughts and write a fan theory later. Alex looked gorgeous in that dress (I swear, I am fucking weak to black dresses), and so did Calypso. Also, Finally we have a lewd scene with Alex. That was probably the second hottest BJ in the entire game. Man, Cari put some extra effort into animating that boob shake. Alex has a really tough exterior, and it would take some time for her to truly open up to the MC, but I'll take whatever the scraps I can get.
Music Critique
Cari's choice of music is always spectacular, every event gets a very fitting BGM, every minor event has a fitting SFX, and the lewd events has a song that perfectly encapsulates the character. "Run Boy Run" from the last update has finally grown to me, I still don't thing it's the most fitting song for that moment, but at least at does not feel out of place to me anymore. All of the songs this update though, absolutely perfect. Especially "If I Had A Tail" for the Alex BJ scene. I could not think of a better song for Alex. Phenomenal.

As always, here are the most wallpaper worthy images of this update.
I will follow up with the current ranking of the girls and a fan theory tonight. Thank you for reading my TED talk!

If you can die, why not carry other physical acts as well? Another similar question is: can you get pregnant in Eternum? Can you get NPCs pregnant?

Yes, you must have bought Annie the pendant from Chop Chop in ch1, that prevents you from dying from the explosion
Awesome update, awesome game.
Some minor nitpics/questions though, I don't know if I missed something or...
In the alien invasion segment, what's the deal with the box full of clothes and the cold? Why are we shown the MC getting a long coat? So that he looks cooler? Is there a significance I missed, because otherwise it seems completely random and unnecessary.
Also, if we help Commander Hassler and plant the bomb in the generator room, where does the last bomb come from in the last scene? We are shown and told Orion was given only one. Inconsistency?
I would like the community's thoughts, as I find discussing these details fun.

If I'm not wrong Stabby Mike is the former President of the country in which Orion is living.

Well, all body input and output beyond the absolute necessities to keep the body going (heartbeat, breathing) has to be turned off (or rather rerouted to/from the implant). Could still play into some of the theories, but it would also be like this if its just a 'regular' neural implant and virtual world.
Controlling the input&output could also lead to some interesting options, like fully experiencing a female (multi- or layered) orgasm as a male - or not being limited by endurance and sperm production rate. Or improving your skills by directly looping the feelings and sensations of your partner back to yourself etc...^^

I would think that pregnancy would certainly be possible for the players. However, since you don't spend 9 months (or even one day) in a server, it wouldn't make any difference. You become pregnant in the server; you come out of it and you're not. There are no permanent physical changes to players - Benjamin notwithstanding. Pregnancy is certainly a permanent physical change, so no.
As for the NPCs, I just can't seem to care about them. Whatever the lore turns out to be, I'll accept it.

Sandman had this story about someone getting pregnant in a Dream, and She ended up Pregnant in real life too. I mean that Dream pregnancy carried out into the real word.
Who know, How much of actual Supernatural elements Eternum will have. Luna already have a Supernatural power.
I want to know why it's tail when flipping the coin. There is no clue to support that choice. (I don't consider the smile as a solid clue, it could be mocking.

Are you talking about another game? I haven't played this release yet, but haven't met a 'Sandman' so far.

Who know, How much of actual Supernatural elements Eternum will have. Luna already have a Supernatural power.
At any rate, it is always possible to have exceptions to the known Eternum rules. Benjamin is certainly proof of that. But I maintain my stance on pregnancy in a server. Don't see it continuing into real life without some extraordinary circumstance happening. Don't know why Caribdis would want it to happen either. If one or more of the LIs are to get pregnant, real life would certainly work just fine for that.
