VN Ren'Py Eternum [v0.8.0] [Caribdis]

[Iemitsu]

Finally got around to playing 0.2, absolutely the highest quality RenPy game i've played so far. Can't wait for 0.3.

My only nitpick is that the game has a hard slant towards the MC with how fast he gets involved with numerous important things, like two of the ten gems and even getting one, seeing the number one player, the Benjamin investigation, the woman showing up only for him with the mystery, 2 of the three legendary weapons close to him. All that together is a bit much and makes the story seem really fast at times, though I prefer it to the opposite extreme where nothing ever happens. Still, I feel it could have been stretched out more, especially with how gripping his dreams with the butterfly lady are to me. If it was just the woman asking for help and Calypso so far for example, I would still be interested and it would feel less like the MC gets handed too much.

This is pretty much the only critique I have for the game so far. However at the same time I can see why some of this was done.

The one other minor gripe I have is the music since I dont personally like anything with vocals. I would have preferred to have an option to just have ambient sounds and turn off vocals as ambient sounds make the game feel a bit more atmospheric for me but maybe thats just me who feels this way.

Everything else about this game I really like. The humor is 10/10. The pacing with the girls feels perfect to me. The setting is great and gives a lot of room for creativity. The girls are all really likeable (which is rare for me) and the story is interesting so far.

I think the music was a nice touch. The ELWIN song, at the cafe where the MC won his nervegear, has been a welcome earworm the past few days. It definitely depends of the scene when choosing what kind of music fits, but I think the dev did a great job with the game's playlist.

I do agree with you about the humor and the girls (Nova!). I loved OIAL, but I already see this game easily surpassing it.

Loving this game but my only issue is when I help Dalia with the twins and my only problem is Jerry, Xet and maybe Con died and we don't take any of there thing??? WHY??

Good atmospheric music recommendations: Gustav Mahler! (see my profile pic) Best symphony composer in the history of mankind.

Jokes aside, I am surprised by the vocal during Annie's scene too. That being said I think the music suited that scene well despite not being my exact cup of tea of music.

And now we wait once more...

Mhmmm...is it right that there still is (at least) 1 LI to meet ?
I reached end of v0.2 and I'm missing 1 girl (not talking about Eva) as there is one interrogation point left in the gallery.

Very likely and it might be Calypso herself.

Good point, I hadn't thought about her (it?). But would a virtual entity (and "weapon" at that) fit as a LI in the formal sense of it?

Why not? It's an interesting concept, can you have feelings for an AI?

People saying Chang's girl is ugly, what? She is not ugly, MC sees her as this raid boss with a wrinkly mean face on a bad lighting. Thats not how she looks, thats a joke. She is just, well, built like a fucking tank. But, she is definetely not ugly.

C'mon guys, just look at her face. I think she is cute. Put her face on a normal body and we have a cute girl. But put her face on the body of Chris Bumstead and of course she is gonna be unattractive and some guy who can't tell the difference between "unattractive" and "ugly" will call her ugly.

Don't be that guy.

Works for me. And by the way there seems to be more behind Eternum's AIs. By the way we can presume that in this game the harem ending will be the canon ending.

Semantics. The result is the same, meaning you don't want to fuck her.

 

[matschbirne]

just finished with the last update and I'm still excited.
a really good game with humor, interesting worlddesign (at least the worlds that have been shown so far), a little drama and likeable characters.

has it already been mentioned how many worlds are planned?

Хороший слоган, Николай, согласен полностью!

Anyway, should I've meddled into Nancy life in order not to chop her route off?

 

[Zwe1]

Was the "Twinkle twinkle little star" in once in a lifetime as well?

If a character is greyed out does that mean you missed out on a choice to continue their path?

Asking this because I picked all the right choices Im pretty sure for each characters path and I'm able to see them in the relationships tab. The only one I can not is Luna, did I miss out or has her relationship path not been developed yet?

 

[Ghos[t]]

you missed out somewhere, most probably didn't buy her an animal.
