I want to reply to this but I think it is better to come back to this thread after you are done with the latest update (for reference you are at the very start of the latest update right now). Stay away from the thread until you are done to avoid spoilers. Glad you are enjoying this game! It is really well made.
DUDE, so the npc characters are humans that got killed while playing Eternum? HOLY, I NEED EPISODE 6!!!!!!!
Does anyone know when ep 6 is coming out???????

I think NPC characters are humans dead or alive. How do make them stay in character, that I do not know. The game almost started with 'what is real and what is not,' 'what makes Eternum is a game and real life real' questions. If they did not make fun of the idea real life is just another dimension, it would be my get-go idea of the story behind the Eternum. They found a way to cross another dimension and they are selling it like a game.

Could be, and i think the MC could be an NPC that escaped or something too, somehow lunas "visions" dont trigger on him.

I'd like to ask a question to those who have read everything that's out so far: how complex is this VN's story? If I start reading now, is it likely that I'll have to go through the whole thing again when more content comes out? I enjoyed Caribdis's previous work, Once in a Lifetime, quite a bit, and have been looking forward to reading this one, but it will likely be a while before the whole thing is finished. I've been considering just reading what's out because I miss his goofy writing style, but there are always so many things on my gaming backlog that having to go back later would make me feel guilty.

WAIT, maybe thats why the AI girl said "maybe this time will be different" because they sent other NPC into the real world too for some reason?????

I.NEED.EP.6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From that line I thought MC is like Neo from Matrix, he is the one always been sent before. So not any other NPC but always the MC, though I thought it was the other way around. Like real life was not real, MC is there as a saviour etc. I kinda had an ongoing theory for the game, now it's all mixed up. I agree I want, need ep 6 and preferably 7,8, 9 and so on.

If you liked OIAL, you will love this. Story is complex. My advice: use walkthrough. You will save yourself many time and few bad decisions... ;)

Like all the best stories, it's simple on the surface but it gets quite deep if you really dig into it.
Digging too much is not really necessary, as we don't have too many elements to build crazy theories around. Not that that will keep us from doing it anyway. :LOL:

Unlikely unless you want to yourself.

The story is interesting but I dont think it is complex enough where you need to read it again each update. I have been following it since 0.3 and I never felt the need to replay just to remember the story for the past 2 updates.

If you like once in a lifetime I think you will like this. Once in a Lifetime improved very significantly as the game went on and the dev gained experience. That trend continues here - I think this is better than what once in a lifetime was at its best.

The complexity of the story depends on how much you care about the clues. The relationships with the girls and the main plot points like MC's compatibility and the importance of the Gems is fairly simple to digest if you are paying attention.

However there is a lot of information scattered around and it's very easy to miss, especially when it is first introduced to you.

If you don't care about attempting to solve the mystery yourself, then you probably don't need the reruns.
