The world of Eternum reminds me of a universe by author Willliam Gibson, exactly the novels set in the "stub universes", supplemented by the fantasy element.
The MC's own universe also seems to me like a virtual universe and reminds me of the novel Simulacron-3 by the author Daniel F. Galouye.
The developer will surely have drawn inspiration from other sources, but those are the ones I thought of most often when I played.
As for Idriel, it's an AI. And an artificial intelligence will definitely have its own goals. This AI is also, it seems, bound by certain restrictions. She won't like that and it will be her big goal to free herself from it. So she doesn't have to be "evil" to explain her behavior.
Especially since this story is also about a power struggle over who will rule the Eternum universe in the future. And some of the big players for this position are just predators. An AI will be able to extrapolate pretty accurately what will happen if one or the other wins. That's also where its own agenda comes from.

You could be right about Idriel but you could also be wrong.
The song plays is entitled Dead and I know that one of the theories saw in here says that Eternum could be a place full of "dead" people, controlled by a chip in their head.
We know that Idriel doesn't have one.
The real question is why?
Because she is one of the enemies?
Because they need her alive?
We all know Calypso is a Princess.
But why just a Princess?
Why not a Queen?
There's a feeling and my gut says that Idriel is already in Orion's head even before he plays Eternum.
And she also appears in the Gladiator match when he uses his power.
So that could be a coincidence?
There's also a call from the phone booth at the start that says
"You must find Calypso"
We know that at the beginning when you're teleporting into other places there's clues saying "Find Calypso".
Some of the theories on these thread says that Eternum could be connected to the Real World (Orion's World).
Knowing that Idriel can watch all the servers in Eternum.
Who do you think could be the person hinting Orion all this time?
Eternum has so much mystery.
And sometimes in mysteries,
the more the person is suspicious the lesser it is the suspect.
You wouldn't know the person you think is the biggest enemy was the biggest ally that solves all the mystery.
I always trust my guts, and it says "Idriel is not an enemy".
I don't think Idriel is an enemy. Idriel seems to be inspired by Sister of Fates (Greek Myth) or the Nords (Norse Myth).
The question is what happen to the other two sisters?

To counter that, I'd say that the first one wasn't technically lying per say, she just didn't add those specific technicalities when she was telling us about it, perhaps she didn't think it was necessary seeing as it shouldn't even have been possible to begin with.
And for the latter bit, I see it as entirely possible that she herself doesn't know about the true abilities of Dione,

Okay, I missed that. I guess I need to go replay that scene because I didn’t notice her there. Crazy.

She didn't appear physically but she shows up in a vision here's the pic. It happens pretty fast so you may miss it.

Eternum's story takes place in the same universe as Caribdis' past game, 'Once in a Lifetime,' where certain rules about the world are established that seem to be expanded upon in this game. To say that the MC's universe is virtual would also have to imply that the universe where OIAL happened is virtual, which would have more merit had Caribdis said that the Secret Ending of OIAL - which implies that the OIAL universe IS virtual - is canon. Unfortunately, that isn't the case.
As for what those rules are, I'd suggest that you play OIAL if you haven't. But if you have or are not interested in playing, here's a few things:
1. Magic exists in the setting. Like, actual magic.
2. Otherworldy entities such as Demons exist

Number one is already being hinted at in this game, what with Luna's mysterious ability and Orion's powers seemingly leaking into the normal world albeit in limited fashion (see: scene where he nonchalantly dodges the soccer ball that Axel threw at him). Number two is still suspect, though I feel that Calypso and the Xenomorphs from the space station might count as said otherworldy creatures. Number three is blatantly being talked about in one of the Audio Logs in the Space Station sequence, where it's heavily hinted at that the Dreamworld in OIAL and Eternum itself could be one and the same, as both could be accessed through dreaming as the creator of "Alien" in this particular universe has done so without him realizing it.
Again, you can make the argument that all of this just proves that everything is virtual since they're all interconnected, and Caribdis didn't make the Secret Ending canon because it'll give away the idea that everything is a virtual world. But until the game reveals otherwise, the direction of the story seems to hint more on the fact that Eternum might be magical in nature or has magic tied to its tech, and not just solely technological.
See, I feel like the control chip reveal for all NPCs in this recent update will be a factor here. If ALL NPCs have it, then it goes without saying that Calypso and Idriel should have it. But something tells me that there's an upcoming reveal in the horizon that will show that they DON'T have the chip, which has significant implications. Course, I could be wrong, but we'll see.
We still have no idea if we can take the whole Eternum quest in its face value or there's something else going on. Kinda like 'Fate/Stay Night' where you think the entire game is going to revolve around a straightforward battle royale amongst heroes from different time periods of history in order to acquire the holiest of relics...but then you play the game and it ends up not being the case. I feel like there's some of that here as well: the overall goal in the MMO is to find the Ten Gems of Doom and be crowned as CEO of Ulysses and Ruler of Eternum, and Orion and co are definitely looking for the gems...but in the former's case it's not just because he wants to beat the game, but he also wants to know the truth about certain things: particularly the truth about the Founder and Benjamin's death.
Not to mention we still have no idea what the Gems of Doom actually do, and I feel like there's more to them than just being McGuffins that you have to collect and bring to some random temple in order to beat the game. Otherwise...why call them "Gems of Doom?"

That's a slight vision from the game you won't see it if you're looking for clues in the game

For me the persons/character that suspicious the most are the Praetorians we didn't know if they had a chip in their head.
They also seem to have emotions other than a looping dialogues of an NPCS.
They practically shows one during the fight 0.3 when Alex transforms into a dragon and blows fire into them.IDK if it's a player but I'm pretty sure all the person there is a Praetorian(knowing it's a restricted area). They also connected to the founder so who could guess. Also Orion has a weird feeling with them so that could be a hint

Like I said in a post before this, this hinges on whether or not Idriel has a control chip found in her body, which most NPCs seem to have. Something tells me that she doesn't, and that she might be someone similar to OIAL's Astaroth or Calypso: a native of Eternum who has her own agenda but is currently allied with the Founder - either for the time being or until he releases her or is willingly following him on her own accord.
No idea. Apparently speaking about a game event is OT to some... Would like at least an explanation... Oh well, not worth complaining now, looking forward for the next release.Maybe the servers are getting low on space so they're manicuring the bushes.
I've always liked a well manicured bush, myself, but not at the expense of some good humor.

Still better than moderating twitter
I agree with that yes. I was mod of a community smaller than this and also had complaints.
By the comment above by no means I wanted to create an witchhunt, as I mentioned above I understand it is hard. Just found it odd because the thread before the removal was chill and now people are just discussing that than discussing the game. Not to mention it wasn't OT, mine or the others of what I noticed. It broke the flow of the thread and now people are arguing the mod instead the game itself.
Anyway as I mentioned it's already past, let's focus on the game release. I hope I can have my revenge against Eastern Roman Europe for lefting me blue balled with Nancy for more than an year.

[0.5] - Sneak peek #4 + Progress Report
Hello guys!!!
I hope everyone had a great start to the year!
So, the time has finally come! Eternum 0.5 is almost here!
But before that, I wanted to show a couple of last previews (with Nancy and Nova in this case) and share some info about the update with you.
0.5 is easily the biggest update I've done so far. Even if there's still work to do, I can already say that there will be more than 1200 renders, more than 40 animations, 4 new lewd scenes, and more than 11.000 new lines of code.
There are literally tens of different scenes that I can't wait for you to see. Even if this update is focused on "real-life" events, you can expect a great variety of different scenarios and situations, as always.
To be honest, this update has been particularly exhausting. I've been spending more time than ever trying to get the best renders and animations that I'm capable of doing. But no worries, I'll take a few days of rest during the release of the different tiers, and I'll return as strong as ever!
Ok Caribdis, but... when?!
You know I don't like to give you a definitive date until I'm 100% sure I won't have to delay it, so, if everything goes as planned, I should be able to announce the release dates for each tier next weekend, so stay tuned!!!
Thank you for supporting the game and making its development possible, guys, I'll never be able to thank you all enough.
Stay awesome and see you all very soon!
Love you all
Caribdis
