VN - Ren'Py - Eternum [v0.7.5 Public] [Caribdis]

v0.3
Story's decent, the mystery of the horror shit is actually quite interesting—but I really don't like the character design. MC has a douchebag hairstyle that immediately made me reset my save so I wouldn't have to use my own name.

Most of the girls are excessively THICC, which I'm not a fan of, it looks more like fat than anything else. Especially when you see any of the girls nude, it looks bizarre, with a super-thin waist but fat af hips and thighs. For me, the only really attractive girls are the Goth/emo (Luna), and maybe the tattoo girl (Alexandra).

Half the girls also have really weird baby-faces, the worst of which are Annie and the two siblings (Penelope and Dalia).

None of the main scenes so far even have penetration, they're all one-offs with side characters. And of those that have penetration, none have creampies. Pretty hard blue-balling tbh.

Without a doubt a gem in the making and one to keep an eye on.

Character models look great, the underlying story premise of the game is interesting / engaging enough, the intimacy on show so far is pretty solid and of course, I have to give Caribdis a nod for what I feel are good little nuggets of humour throughout.

It's rare that I find myself laughing during games like this, but Eternum got me a few times and I genuinely appreciate that, references were a nice and unexpected touch.

Based on what I've played so far, I have very, VERY high hopes for this game and having gone back and now played Caribdis' previous work, after trying this one out, I have faith that Caribdis will knock Eternum out of the park.

Excited to see the end-product of this one. Cheers for providing me with an opportunity to check out your work.

Great game! If it's anything like Caribdis' previous game, it's gonna be great. Good scenes, great characters, and hopefully a satisfying ending.

Actually, I already prefer the characters in this game to the previous one. The art is noticeably better as well.

I just wanted to say one thing, don't let the pressure get to you just focus and what you're doing right and your analysis of the previous updates. It's a really great experience so far and the amount of content with each update is more than sufficient in my opinion, don't drop the ball keep your head down you're on to a big one!

one of the best games I have played, the story is awesome, and the visuals are great as well. The world of eternum developer created here is addictive and makes you want more of it.
Really looking forward to the future updates

After playing through all the latest update, I can confirm that I am quite addicted to this game. The dev has created something quite bewitching..

I rarely play male orientated games but after seeing so many people with Eternum fan sigs, my curiosity got the better of me.

The dev has skillfully created a virtual novel where the characters are very unique and very likeable. The main character is actually likeable too and not the usual "bitches be there to be fucked" stereotype portrayed in so many other games on here. Okay, he can be a bit that way, if you choose, because there are options on how you wish your character to act when talking to the girls and usually, acting the creep will lose you popularity. For the most part, the MC is actually quite a polite, sensible and respectful guy.

The girls all have their own personalities and interests which makes them feel more than just rendered walking cleavages. I love Alex because she takes no shit and is quite a strong character plus she hates her rich family.
Nova is my second favorite and is totally cute! her dry, twisted humor is just so damn good, plus she gives goth vibes!

The dev has done an amazing job on the renders and sounds, it really does help to immerse the player into this virtual story. Talking of story, the plotline is very enjoyable and really opens up once the online MMO stuff comes into play.

I found myself getting quite sucked into the game and actually felt disappointed when the end of the content came. It was a pleasant surprise and makes me really look forward to the next update.

Eternum is without doubt, one of the top games on here. I recommend it.

A solid game with great writing. Beautiful renders and likeable characters. Although the plot feels commonly used, the execution of it in this game is outstanding.

As far as antagonists go, I don't think we've seen the real ones yet but the school bully writing seems a bit underwhelming compared to the rest of the game in terms of depth. MC seems a bit mary sue but that may or may not be a plus in harem games.

Loved the tech lore in this as well as the horror elements. A couple of scenes makes you feel cool af despite the lighthearted writing style.

I think the girls each have their own things going on but seems like they all fall into the categorization of 'kind personality with backstory'. Would like to see some morally grey characters to balance things out as of right now the characters are entirely just or entirely corrupt.

4/5 definitely a must try

Let me tell you about this game.

The animations are first class. The world building ist something new for me and I really enjoy it.
But the best part of the game ist by far Cheng, almost every scene with him makes me laugh.
I hope to see him more.
Anyways it is a great game with great characters.
I recommend

Top game on this site, love the animation, the story is what kept me playin this game all night.
Lack of sex scenes might be off putting for some but the game makes up for it in terms of character and story development which is greatly appreciated.
The animations are top class also the dev has put a ton of effort in making the game fun to play.
Cheers.

This game is straight up hilarious, I broke out laughing playing this! Chang is great, the girls are really cute and endearing, and I'm enjoying the story as a sucker for isekai anime's.

Thanks Caribdis!

This is easily one of the, if not the best game on this platform. From the models to the story to the characters and the jokes, it's brilliant. The MC is a smart character and the other LIs also have their own unique characteristics which is not present in every game.

My fucking god. In playing this game I was again reminded to never judge a game by it's version number. I've had so much fun playing and I haven't even reached the end of 0.3 yet.

• The visuals are fantastic, some of the games that use illusion engines have been good but this one takes the cake.
• The way the scenes are set by the music is so immersive, it takes a skilled hand to evoke feelings in the way this game has.
• To top it all of the dialogue feels so real(porn bs aside) in turn making the characters and world feel real.
• And by far the best part, the hilarity of the comedy made me not just slightly exhale through my nose but actually laugh out loud.

Overall this game is the gold standard and it's no surprise that it's the first game to appear when searching with the " Weighted Rating" filter.

Amazing story and animations. Not a big fan of horror aspects but it was well implemented into the story and genuinely added to it. And this is at v0.3 too, I can't wait to see what unfolds in later updates.

Alright so this game has everything perfect Story,Writing,Characters,Humour,Art Style
I just love this game
This is my way of supporting the developer with a good review
Keep doing the good work dev.
Peace...

Such a good game, I cannot believe how much work this would have taken to implement. Not only is the game's story wonderful, it also has some cool animations developed into it. I love all the characters and everything they have done so far. I personally like how they focused more on the character development more rather than sex scenes.

Reviewed as of version 0.3
I try to keep the five-star reviews down so that it counts, when a game gets one. This game though, this game absolutely deserves it.
I waited until we are now three updates in, just to be sure, even though the dev's first game was already good enough to know that this wasn't just a fluke of quality at the beginning.

It's a great SF story, it has a whole array of hot ladies, it has humour, it has lots of diverse settings.
It's a game I would gladly play without any sex scenes, because the story and writing are just good enough for that.
Not to say that the porn isn't good as well. MC eating out Nancy in the Roman baths in this latest episode was sweet as fuck.

I guess you do have to like anime, to appreciate some of the characters and tropes here, but it definitely is fun even if you don't.

I can't really think of anything negative to say about the game.
The updates are large and satisfying, the game looks good, the girls look great. Animations are sparse but fine.
Really, this is just a joy to play. I can imagine someone liking it not that much, if they aren't into honey select models, anime, Fantasy and/or SF, but even then the quality of it all should make it clear that this is a well-crafted, well-made game.

Absolutely love the feel of this VN. Great story writing with a range of diverse and appealing characters. Definitely one of the best stories out there which grips you, beautifully balanced by appealing girls who you want the main character to get to know more. Can't wait to see the story progress further.

Genuinely super impressed.

I didn't have the highest of hopes when starting the game. Expected a pretty generic harem game with a fantasy touch. It isn't.

Good renders, well-done animation, surprisingly intriguing plot-line on a well-paced slow burn, good world-building, likeable characters, but most of all some of the best writing I have seen in an adult game.

Genuinely made me smile and/or laugh at multiple parts. One reveal with the character Nova made me think "that is actually super badass" and made me forget I was playing an adult game and not a AAA JRPG or reading/watching a popular manga/anime.

In one scene, when the game tried to be creepy/scary (easily skippable/fast-forwardable for those of us out there who don't like frights), it was genuinely well-done and I was very impressed with the game quality. The mechanic used in that scene could easily be translated into a chapter of a new Resident Evil or Silent Hill game and be viewed as one of the iconic scenes of said game.

The core girls in the harem are all very likeable and I actually look forward to all of their stories, unlike most games where at least one girl ends up being fast-forward bait. Even the "best friend" character brings genuine laughs and is a likeable guy that you end up rooting for to be happy. A later joke with him had me genuinely laughing, and I'm really looking forward to the payoff.

One other note--I've gone long on this review as I'm genuinely super impressed--the overall game concept (the Eternum game) is honestly genius. It allows for a genuinely interesting real world plot-line, but also gives the developer(s) the opportunity to use any setting/genre they're interested in. Already, we've seen classical Greek/Roman, noir, fantasy, magic schools, cyberpunk, etc. Super creative idea that allows for more creativity in the future.

Will very much be looking forward to future updates and chapters of the game (the v0.3 tag means that the game currently has three full chapters, which are surprisingly long, wrap up their mini-stories well, and ends on a satisfying cliffhanger). The game dev's vision is one I'm genuinely interested in following, although I certainly wouldn't complain if we got more Penelope Instagram/modeling/photo-shoot scenes!

Very interesting writing, really looking forward for the complete version. Despite being an adult game, the story telling is intriguing and the author is able to use it to enrich each character's traits and personalities.
During the play through, this is much like reading a web novel, but with a lot more illustration.

Great work!

Great Designs ,high quality writing . there is not too much sex scene but thats better ,that means game is not rushing ,relantionships becomes much better like this quality wont decrease it will increase instead .nothing can beat well written relationships and sex scenes.
