VN - Ren'Py - Eternum [v0.8.4] [Caribdis]

This is one of the best games I have ever played and not just as an adult visual novel but any types of visual novel games I have played. It satisfies the thirst of anyone who loves anime, games, and power fantasy stuff. It has a charm that hooks me every time I play it, no matter what scene I’m in or what mood I’m feeling. It’s a pretty polished and well-thought game that clearly knows what it’s doing. And the graphics and characters are amazing. The characters have such charisma, like even the side dude Cheng is a blast to interact with. And the girls, man, those are some impressive character models you got there. I have two favorites, Dalia and Nancy, but Penny and Alex are also close contenders. That shows how awesome all of them are. Heck, even the girl whom the MC met at a brothel has an interesting personality. My favorite scene is the conversation between Axel and the MC under the rain before the MC visits Alex. And on top of all that, the music is just perfect. Chef’s kiss, nothing more to say. I have nothing but praise for this work and I’m really looking forward to the next update. Thank you and best of luck. Solid 5+ out of 5 stars.

This game is a true masterpiece, whoever made this, is a freaking genius. This whole work is just amazing, characters' personalities are extremely carefully designed. You can even feel what kind of person they are, simply from their phone text style. Story goes smoothly, almost has no logical mistake. The emotional development between characters are just so realistic, so perfect. I've played lots of games like this, and this is definitely one of the bests I ever played. The idea, the music, the art, the story... Incredible!

A really great game. 5 stars because the girls are beautiful, the story is intriguing, the plot is fun, the world is fun...

It's a harem story by design apparently, and the only thing you may find strange is that girls seem to have no interest in keeping clothes while they are close to the MC almost from the start. But in a porn game, is it really a flaw?

As of 0.6 it's very fun to play, and has many funny scenes. I expect this game to remain of that level of quality up to the end.

Animations -12/10 absolutely the best animated game I have ever played.
Story - 10/10 Half the time I find myself firing this game up just to continue the story.
Sound - 10/10 Never really cared much about sound, until @Caribdis showed me how much sound can improve your gameplay experience. Never played another game with such masterful execution in this regard.
Models - 15/10
All I really want to say is wow. Best VN i've ever played and I hope you'll keep making them for a long time. I just learned you did Once in a Lifetime, so now all this makes sense.

I play lots of AVN, some of them is good, some of them is mediocre, and some of them is truly one of the best... and one of the best is Eternum. Its interesting that the author/developer knows lot of references in the real world especially Anime, Mythology, Video Games, underrated Books like Eros & Thanatos which is kinda like easter egg in the game, I'm just amazed that there's a lot of real world input in the game which make the story better. The rendering department of those 3D and 2D animation is truly one of the best if not the best in the whole AVN's, Storywise yeah one of the greats also.. I like the comedy and lots of action pack in the story! Characters is amazing too, I'm more of Penelope fanboy but all of them is great! I highly recommend this to gamers that want a high quality AVN and if you're one of those horny dudes out there.. you need patience to play this game because this like more of story driven game and not "unlimited fuck to easy girls type of AVN".
Lastly I'm just amazed, hands down to the genius of Caribdis.

First of all I've been following Caribdis work ever since i finished "Once in a lifetime" the story is good there are a lot of funny moments and the character design most of them are memorable and lovable, Eternum on the other hand is in my opinion is the best i played so far, the SAO kind of genre makes it more interesting, the story is great, characters all lovable and i think what really makes Eternum great is the amount of effort was put into the game aesthetics, the cut scenes for me is top tier, the game is now in ver 0.6 and i am very satisfied with the H-scenes the action and story. I am looking forward to the next update.

Great work Caribdis

This is really the best VN game i've ever seen, i actually forgot why i downloaded it lol, and to get past 200 characters , there is my tier list of girls
1. Nova (She is ultra cute and helpful, in one word - best)
2. Luna (She is ultra cute and creepy but in a good way)
3. Annie (Sometimes she is super cute, but usually just cute)
4. Dalia (I messed up with her once and it took too long to understand how to fix it, but she is actually super cute)
5. Penny (She is just cute, and big booba is respectful)
6. Alex (She is rude And i dont like tatoos)
7. Nancy (Just cuz im not a MILF person)

So, I just had the most amazing experience diving into the world of Eternum, and let me tell you, it's a masterpiece that's etched itself into my heart. From the mind-blowing artwork to the captivating storyline, this visual novel takes you on a ride that's both exhilarating and heartwarming.

I have to start by gushing about the art in Eternum. Seriously, it's like you're stepping right into a dream world. The attention to detail is out of this world, and the characters? Oh boy, they practically breathe with life! The art alone would have been enough to get me hooked, but there's so much more to this gem.

Alright, let's talk about the story. I was honestly blown away by how invested I became in the characters' lives. The pacing is spot on – just when you think you've got it all figured out, bam! A twist comes along that leaves you hungry for more. The writing is so good that I found myself laughing at a fuckin screen. It's a rollercoaster of emotions, and I was totally onboard for it.

Ever felt like you've stepped into a story? That's exactly what Eternum does to you. It's not just about reading words on a screen; it's about being a part of a world that feels as real as your own. Making choices in the game feels like making them in your own life – they matter. And when you care about the characters, those choices take on a whole new level of importance.

I can't ignore the elephant in the room – the mature parts. Eternum handles them with elegance. The scenes, they're woven into the narrative in a way that makes sense. And the animations? They're like a cherry on top, adding that extra oomph to moments that are already electric.

I always believed that caribdis was a top notch developer and he outclassed ANY OTHER vn with this one. I specially made an account just to give this game a 5 star. I can not wait for it to be completed.

This is, in my opinion, the best game on this site. Caribdis just doesn't know how to mess up.
From music choices to personality of every character, there's not a part that isn't enjoyable, the scenes are hot as fuck too.
It's not a coincidence that the last time a game from this site made me write a review was also a game from Caribdis, which is not something that happens often and I've played pretty much everything that's popular (and some not so popular) on this site.
Also, I discovered 2 of my top 10 favorite songs this decade from this game, which is insane considering it should be just a porn game.. But is not, It's an actual, genuinely great game that leaves you with this weird feeling when it ends, the same a very good book does.

Truly, the only two bad things about it as of now are:
1.- I can't get enough of it, so I'm left with this feeling I mentioned until the next patch.
2.- It has made me pampered and now I find it kinda hard to enjoy less fleshed out games.

If anyone knows of other games that have this quality (Specially in the character writting department) do please DM me about them, I'll be very grateful.

God damn. I absolutely LOVE Caribdis. They are so amazing at creating the best stories. I swear the plot of Eternum is so good and, personally, I think it rivals some of the triple A games out on the market in terms of story telling. Genuinely such and amazing game and creator. The ability to make something not only have the sexiest H-scenes in any H-game I've played, but also the ability to make it intense as hell is seriously insane. I'm so, so glad I've been able to play through this game since its inception. It's turning out to be even better than Once In A Lifetime. I can't wait for the next update and to see what your future holds Caribdis.

Cheers thanks for reading this long ass review lmao.

Great game!
Love the story and different elements taken from other media.
Like the horror game part and alien story.
Art style is great with interesting characters and some nice variety.
Can't wait for the next update.

Nothing short of amazing.
This game is probably one of those that really makes the Western Visual Novel niche shine bright.
It has an amazing cast of characters, the story is very entertaining and the developer, himself, is really friendly.
I highly recommend the game to anyone who wants to enlarge their VN catalogue with amazing games.

Excellent game with a nice variety of characters, personalities and situations that make it interesting.

Renders and sex scene wise, this is some of the best 3DCG content out there. The animated scenes are hot, and the build up to them is really solid most of the time. Choices can matter, and you really have to pause sometimes before you make a decision.

This game is def. worth playing to get off and for some of the plotlines. Just go in knowing alot of things dont make sense and ideas are all over the place.

This is definitely one of those games that I look forward to every day, wishing Caribdis all the best so that continue to create more content for everyone to enjoy.

Really Really good. The characters, interactions and attention to detail in the animations and expressions really sets this game out from the rest.

The story at it's core is nothing new, but it does it really really well, with beautiful renders to make the world feel real.

+ bonus for it being funny and scary at times

I love this VN. I love the story, I love the game-within-a-game aspect--I would play a game like this without the prospect of h-scenes--I love the characters, I love the smoothness of the animations when offered, I love the musical selections, I even tolerate the MC.. mostly because while he is the central character and he has plot armor, he isn't a full blown Gary Stu laying waste to the servers of Eternum or the town of Kredon while staking a claim to their women!

Okay, maybe he's collecting a small harem with his mighty rod.. but that's OK! It's not 50 going on 500 with an MC who only proffers time upon who he deigns worthy. Seven is FINE!

So is this VN female-heavy? Of course! The MC is male, and games with male leads they need to be female-heavy on the supporting roles to target a wide audience. BUT! This collection of characters is a TEAM! They wouldn't do any of what they do without each other and everyone is an important part of it!

I usually give up on VNs that find ways to turn me off, have awful gameplay elements or gameplay elements too tedious to accept. After all.. just as the juice MUST be worth the squeeze, the lore must be worth the bore. I enjoyed Once in a Lifetime and played it to the end, but this... this is a masterpiece. Well done, Caribdis!

5/5, will play this to the very end

Caribdis always delivers top notch games. Eternum is some of the best writing out there, interesting plot and setting, character development is fleshed out and the story proceeds in a logical manner. Eternum updates about 2x a year, so do not expect monthly/quick updates. The updates are always huge releases, each chapter is a solid amount of new gameplay.

A really great game, both story and art wise. Not surprising the game takes some things from things like ready player one, but that does not really take anything from it.
you should be prepared for some"horror" segments, but they are not that bad

Great, intruiging story, that doesn't feel forced or grabbed out of thin air, loveable characters, with great models that only improve the further you go on.
Sexual content isn't overwhelming, but also not too rare, and it's easy to not miss it accidentally.
I personally love the different girls you interact with, they all seem to have a varied personality, with different interests and issues. The few lewd scenes don't break that feeling of believable characters, but only support it. And all the wait and connection you start to feel towards them, only makes it better in the end.
The MC isn't all dumb either, not a "me horny always" guy, but one you can actually express your care for the girls through.

All in all, i can only say: great game, i'm thankful that we got pretty early access to V0.6, and now that i've finished it, i feel like i finished a season of a show, or a book in a series, and i'm eagerly awaiting the next release.

I could be tortured daily at Guantanamo Bay without being fed, clothed and without the prospect of ever being released and I'd die a happy man having experienced this masterpiece. Confident Annie is GOAT. Also I love when the girls scare Orion shitless from behind, so dumb but so fucking funny

Don't mind me just dropping a 5 star rating for (in my opinion) the best VN in the site. You can tell Caribdis really put a lot of effort into this. When you play Eternum, you can feel the love and care that has been put into it. The plot is really good and honestly even without the explicit content, it is still a very good game by itself. I really love the pacing of the story. It can be a bit slow initially but the sex scenes makes it worthwhile. I always appreciate good animations and my word the animations are top-notch! Not to mention all the characters are really well made! Patiently waiting for the next update!
