This is the first experience of " Came here for the porn, stayed for the story" moment for me. Writing is so good! The humor is unmatched! The naughty scenes are just as good too. Dont want to bring myself to finish the game XD
it's the opposite for me. I came for the story and stayed for the story. However as of the last update for me it changed into came for the story and stayed for the porn. The Nova and Penny lewd scenes were so good. Better than the Alex one imo

This game is wonderful, it's one of my top 10. I like the characters, the story, the humor and the music.

It's theory time! :cool:

About the Syndicate

First of all, lets hear Mr. Mos who is a member of Ulysses' board of directors.

View attachment 3567101 View attachment 3567102 View attachment 3567104

Well... According to Mr. Mos, they are nothing but a small anarchist group. What if they are not? :unsure:

Contrary to popular opinion I think the Syndicate is some kind of a secret service like C.I.A. and K.G.B., it's neither a small anarchist group nor a guerrilla-type militia force. I don't think they are a very crowded organization, though. Probably a tiny team of a few hundred people. Are they working under someone's orders or are they independent? It is uncertain at this point. But I think one thing is certain that their main objective is gathering informations all around the Eternum for helping Orion.

Also they must know the true nature of Eternum and must be aware of The Founder's real plans. Otherwise why would they want to help Orion? This would be quite counterintuitive. But how did they know about these? Who told them? There're so many questions that need to be answered.

Another question. Are they NPCs or real players? I think they are NPCs, namely rogue NPCs like Thanatos. They are not controlled by Ulysses, and they are conscious of their own existence. This explains that little messenger girl in EP4. Because we already know people under 18 years old can not play Eternum.

Even if they are not an independent organization, they must have a leader. In order to do their job successfully, secret services need to work in coordination and this is only possible with a good leadership. I certainly think we met the leader in EP2. She told us she is just a member of the Syndicate, but I really didn't buy that. I know it's not often that the leaders of the secret services work in the field. Though, Eternum is not the real world. Besides we are talking about NPCs, not real players. They don't have to follow real-life rules.

There is an another mysterious woman in EP7, too. She wears the same outfit with the leader. Could they be the same person? I doesn't seem so. Because she doesn't wear that "Star of David" necklace, and doesn't have those green tattoos on her face. Also their facial structures look quite different. There should be some dissimilarities that distinguish the leader from ordinary members.

There is no doubt that the Syndicate is one of the game's greatest mysteries, and they're going to be super important.

Another reason to look forward to future episodes, eh? :p
a few hundred members is not tiny... :D

that little girl might not be a member of the syndicate. she could simply be a controlled NPC that was taken over with the cube device.

the two mysterious women look like the same person but at a different age :D though it's not possible, unless there is a device to change your appearance... or a potion... :D the existence of the polyjuice potions makes appearance analysis kind of useless at this point. if they are organized, it would be easy for the syndicate to get potions.

we just need more information.

If you're postulating easy access to polyjuice potions, why not take the extra step to access to doppelmorphers? Maybe the syndicate has only 1 member... :p

Game frames her as a member tho, given that she's the image that pops up when Nan talks about the group during the 0.5 meetup...

Well if he wanted people holding their breath for the 0.8 he got it right... Damn, what an ending I'm still in shock, though I felt something ominuos was bound to happen, but really I didn't think I would have hit the bullsye...
And that image is... LOL I dig it....:HideThePain::HideThePain:

Well, it is part of the plan...

The good news though is that there (hopefully) won't be any worse cliffhanger waiting for us in 0.8...

However...

So yeah, next update could be a breather of sorts in terms of cliffhangers, though it's still probably going to be bad...but hopefully not as bad as this one and what awaits us in 0.9 or 0.10. :HideThePain:

I could be wrong but I think that from now on thing will escalate pretty heavily, regardless of how many things Cari can pack for every update, it was hinted before but now the game will become deadly serious.
It will keep the light touches and the irony for sure ( that's his style), but from now on the message is clear, you mess it you'll pay the consequences, and I really like rhis approach.
Tha games was always more deep than appeared at first glance, but now it's starting to taking the directions Cari always intended ( I think at least). :) :)

honestly, the cliffhanger loses a lot of its power when on luna's path, as she has a vision of the future being either a potential threesome or normal daily life depending on annie's path. without it, the possibilities could be wider.

It already lost a lot of its power given the kind of story this game is telling. Like, it's been hammered since 0.2 that the dead don't stay dead in this setting, so why should Orion?

After the cliffhanger I kind of lowkey wish for Orion to stay dead and have to live in Eternum like Thanthos or what his name is. But I know that would probably ruin the game for alot of players. Maybe even me down the road since I do prefer the real world over the Eternum worlds.
