Third time is a charm, not necessarily for Axel, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to let Axel make for our amusement. But who knows, if it happens often enough, he'll eventually get a kick out of having the Nutcracker Suite played for him.
I just hope he come to his sences before Alex f**k up her leg on this idiot. Her leg(s) is to precious. They should be healthy, for swimming... I think...

Isn't it a bit weird that acquiring all 10 gems of doom gives you the CEO position, which is painted as making you the most powerful person on earth, even though being a CEO is in fact only valuable if the shareholders tolerate you as the CEO? I mean, if the shareholders dislikes whoever "wins" they can just kick him out and appoint a more competent person as new CEO. It would make much more sense if instead of becoming CEO, you get a majority of the shares (perhaps because the founder has 51% and he gives it all to you). That would be a prize that makes sense and actually matters.

I suppose it might be implicit that you also become the majority shareholder as well as CEO, but that should then be explicit because acquiring the shares is the truly valuable part of the reward. As of now it appears to be an oversight by Caribdis.

I have always taken it to mean you get ownership as well as the CEO position. But I agree that it appears to be an oversight by Caribdis.

Dorfnutter Clearly I missed the connection. Not a face I had an interest in remembering, so no surprise I didn't spot him.
I dont think it is just Benjamin and Thanatos. The NPC who that Linus raped with his chip controlling device at the party is implied to be a dead person asking for Orion's help - he had once of those dream sequences at a morgue where she was one of the NPCs asking for his help. There are other hidden details as well. My favorite is a tiny scene showing the Founder interacting with Orion as a child if you decide to pick Orion instead of Penny in Hogwarts. The implications of that scene are huge.

And I am sure there are several other hidden scenes that I have missed. It is all really interesting and I cant wait to see where the story goes from here.

Well congrats Caribdis , you became quite the legend in this site. I swear I just saw a couple of games that are copies of Eternum.
Now I wouldn't find inspirations unusual here if it weren't the blatant copying of the girls looks and personalities, and the copying of the plot, in one of the games MC even has creepy nightmares like Eternum's MC has sometimes, it's kinda obvious the "inspiration"
Last time I saw someone copying a game like that it was a copy of City of Broken Dreamers by PhillyGames (yes, guy behind Depraved Awakening, which is also a masterpiece, figuring in the front page of Latest Uploads, if you filter it by rating, 5 years after being launched)
So, I forgot my point in writing all that...
If you are new to Caribdis Universe, you should play Once in a Lifetime, if you don't know PhillyGames you should play Depraved awakening and City of Broken Dreamers, both are amazing as well

Now go wait for 0.6 and sign up for Nova's Church or something

The only reason I think Calypso is not a LI is because her sex scenes and presence are gonna be so few and so late in the game that give her the state of LI is strange, but she is part of the group and one of the girls since chapter 4 and we are talking about a game with another 8-10 chapters ahead. She is like Anakin in Star Wars and the council, she is a love interest and a part of the group, just not a LI.
In this wallpaper post: that has the 7 girls + calypso, the dev states the following: "All the girls in our harem in a single image? ..." so it appears she will be a part of the harem. But that is the extent of what I know since I dont think the dev has said anything more about his plans with her on patreon and I am not active in his discord server. I also agree that she is not going to be as important as the 7 other girls simply because of the fact that she is restricted to remain within eternum so she is not going to have the same amount of screen time as them (unless there is a massive plot twist that changes that).

I am really hoping for some romance progression with her next update though. A couple of wallpapers of her just dropped on patreon today and they are my favorite wallpapers so far.

I said this before in this thread, but I'm positive that there will be a choice involving how you treat Axel that will end up having a massive impact on the outcome of Alex's path. My theory is that Axel will rebel against his dad and risk his life helping Alex in some way, and he'll only do this depending on one of your actions.

Nah... Dudes too much of a kiss ass to his dad and is weak as hell. Push comes to shove he will only care about himself.

Good thing he will become an uncle sooner rather than later though ;)

I don't normally share patron-exclusive content myself, but I'm going to make an exception here since I like it so much and just want to share it with the world... I hope Caribdis has no hard feelings.

Yesterday's monthly wallpaper for the Master tier:

I'm still keeping my guard up around her but damn, now I actually kinda hope that my suspicions about her (namely that's she's going to go rogue at some point) prove wrong. Probably my favourite wallpaper so far.

Original format was PNG but it was too large to attach so I changed it to jpg.

He's a kiss ass and is weak as hell, but he clearly care about at least two persons other than himself :

I mean would that be enough for him to have a redemption arc where he helps Orion and his haremettes ? I don't know, but that would be a possible angle to work with.

It would need serious explanation if the eternum servers are in fact real worlds. Or just the good ol' "it's magic" :4Head:

It did not feel that way to me when he was trying to talk to William about Benjamin. I personally dont care if there is a redemption arc for Axel or not but I dont agree with your assessment of him. I do agree that he is a bit of a joke.

If there was a redemption arc, I see him joining the syndicate or something. They seem like they are fighting against Ulysses and I think Axel going missing in the latest update is about him investigating Benjamin's death independently. And if there is a redemption arc, I dont see him being as prominent as Tom (I think that was his name) was in once in a lifetime. I just see him getting some minor screen time, helping in a small way and then disappearing for good.

Different realms have different laws. Magic is posible in the realms were reality accept the concept of magic, that's why in some servers you can and in others can't do magic, even if its a pasive effect. Right now we only knew 1 exception to this rule, Calypso, creating portals without limitations. That's why she is a weapon, because she changes the rules of reality. And probably Orion is just like her.
I have the theory that Eternum is not the only way to travel between realms, is the way to travel without connecting our reality to the others, protecting not only the lives of the "players" but also protecting our realm. From what? Maybe Idriel, maybe the gems of doom, maybe something worse.

While most people saying Eternum are similar with RPO which i didnt watched, personally i think Eternum are similar with S.A.O ( Sword Art Online ) not just because SAO was release long before RPO but the concept of Eternum looks similar with SAO Alicization arc.
