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

Why are the redenrs in this so godly tier good? great plot, GREAT humor, interesting set up for the plot, if you wanna read a good novel this has you covered, if you wanna wank to the legit best reders in this site, this has you covered, all around best game on here hands down

This game... I don't have the word to describe this beautiful game It has a beautiful soundtrack and the characters feel so alive like you can relate to them and I didn't laugh this much in a game before on this site. I enjoyed the latest update (0.5). If you want an engaging story, funny moments then this game is for you. I urge you to play it.

Easily 5/5 and in my top 3 games of this site so far

Probably the best VN and the best dev that has graced this site. The writing is fantastic and actually not cringe with the humor, the characters are all great and distinct, and the models some of the highest quality I've seen, only barely losing to the ones in Ripples. Worth waiting for every update and can't wait to see where the story goes next! LUNA BEST GIRL fite me

This Game! Now for this game I simply have no words to describe how perfect it is. I've played lots of game on this site from Being a Dik to shitty games. And Caribdis really pushed it to the perfection.
Story: It's mysterious and it tempts you to continue till the end. in addition to the real world, Eternum also has its unique World and Secrets. The creation of Eternum, the details in every corner of both World are spectacular. Also, all of the Lis have unique personality and Problems around them.
Graphics: Well, compared to Once in a lifetime, it has improved a lot.
The attention to the details in face and eyes, different facial expressions.
Also, the animations have gone to a whole another level+ we got sound effects on sex scenes.
Music: Hmm, this one in my opinion is mostly a matter of taste BUT when we have a scary or jump-scare scene the music is Legit! The combination of both music and the art Cari created Make you shit yourself. Also, other songs are also relaxing, and they just fit in the mood.
Characters: Welp, another best thing about the game. All of the characters and I mean from Lis to side girls and even NPCs and the most important one Chang are fucking great. you'll love them equally and simply can't choose between them. Each Li has different personality and intimate scenes with them exactly fit with their personality+ The great music.
MC: welp, I like his personality to say, He is rather good looking. and he isn't an 18 Years old horny boy with a Baseball bat. also, he is quite polite. and has a special ability in Eternum that makes him kind of badass.
Overall: Caribdis really is doing a fantastic job and this game is breaking every wall of failure. Each update takes about 1.5 or 2 hours for me (I'm a fast reader.) and Caribdis updates about every 4-5 months. So, this game is worth its high rating, and it deserve to be the #1 game in this site.

The story is excellent, the girls are great, and I'm not sure what else there is to say. There really are no "buts" here, aside from the fact that the game is not yet finished, and every update leaves you hungrier for more. Easily the best adult game I've played.

Storyline, the comedy, character developement (You can't help liking every girl, ) is so so Good. My favourite HS2 renders looks very good . One of the games that I highly anticipate before each new update. My rating 101 out of 100.

Simply one of the best games I've played, the visual, the humor, the design, characters and the plot are so good. While playing it you would get more hook up with the plot and start caring less about the sex scene.

This made me appreciate games like this that focuses more on the plot than most games that just throws and fits sex scenes everywhere without caring so little about the plot or just have the most generic story.

It has the longest dialog but most rewarding i've played.

Great story. Didn't expect to be laughing out loud and getting scared in this type of game, but it was hella good time. Very nice graphics and aesthetics, variety of diffrent body types on girls and overall pleasing visual experience. Sounds and music fitting to what's going on on the screen so no picking on that either.
Would reccomend to everyone 5/5

Excellent game by all means. Awesome humor, girls, style, music, game design and idea. Enjoyed playing 'Once in a Lifetime' a lot, but this is even better. Both can easily go into you top favorite list

Review based on 0.4:

REALLY good game. After playing Once in a Lifetime, I took my time before i played Eternum. And somehow Caribdis managed to make a game which is even better than OIAL.

Story is great. So far, really enjoyable and the setting with the Real World and Eternum itself basically gives endless possibilities without getting unrealistic.

Great cast of Characters, very unique, both in personality and Looks. I also think that the number of Main Girls is perfect, 7 is not so small that it gets boring, but not too much that some girls dont get attention. (In OIAL it was the same number of girls, Eternum adds Side Girls, but other than that, it is the same when it comes to LIs)

Renders are great, everything just looks so good. Compared to others games on this site you sometimes forget that you are playing an Adult game.

Updates are big, but take some time in between. Which is fine by me, I played 0.4 in one go and played a few evenings in a row for 2-3 hours each, which means, there is a lot of content and Updates seem to be big. 100% worth the wait.

The only thing I can find which botheres me a bit (and this is pure personal opinion and nitpicking): The Alien-Attack did not really fit. Yes, this game has Horror Elements, but the Alien Attack really seemed out of place when it comes to when it happened. Personally, I hope that this will have something which fits into "the big picture" (I dont know, some form of malfunction on the Eternum-Servers or something like this). But if not, no big deal!


5/5 Stars, well deserved, easily one of the best, if not THE best game here.

Just finished 0.4 & got tbh i was already a big fan of 'Once in a lifetime' but this is straight up FIRE.1 fault of his previous work was too much comedy such that it kind of diluted everything else so i couldnt take it seriously .But in this the dev actually managed to blend them both

I like how many of stuffs that i enjoyed was incorporated into the game like the entire premise resembling SAO ,horror story from PT ,hell even comedy scene of that Jojo Girl with Dark Souls Boss UI was so hillarious that i actually had to put down my lap & ROFL & trust me i havent laughed like that since a long time

Honestly i couldnt find a fault even if i tried the story is engaging & thrilling ,the cute & lovable LI were quite memorable not to mention a likeable MC .
Sex Animations are gorgeous & am glad to see that the Dev still hasnt lost touch in the sound effects dept also a plethora of music to back it up.
Overall definitely worth your time

Hilarious plot and dialog! Beautiful girls! I love Caribdis' memes, comedy style, and artworks in 'Once in a lifetime'. And Eternum definitely surpasses its previous work. I think Caribdis expanded the form of visual novels and gives me a unique story-focused, interactive audiovisual experience that none of comics, novels, videos, SLG/RPG games, or even other VNs can achieve. And the elements of science fiction, fantasy, horror, comedy, superpowers, love stories, school themes, adult content, BGM, and even heist are so well balanced. I don't know why Caribdis can manage so many vital parts so well.
The development of adult content is right at a perfect pace, not too fast nor too slow. Main girls have different backstories and distinctive characteristics, all so lovable. There are also side girls to perform actual sex and erotic kinks, so porn lovers won't find it boring at the beginning. The harem theme seems so reasonable and easy to accept due to the plot and girls' characteristics, so weird.
What makes me feel this game so unique is its story and audiovisual effect. It's just like watching a fantastic TV series. I don't want to spoil anything related to the story in the review because even a little spoiler can ruin the surprises for new players. It's V0.4 now (2023.1), I can't wait for what's next.
What a joyful ride. Big thank you for this masterpiece, @Caribdis !

Best VN I've ever played and number 2 is Once in a Lifetime, also by Caribdis. They put in amazing work on their projects and I highly reccomend. The worlds are fleshed out, the characters are all written amazingly, there's a great balance between humor and sexiness, and the scenes are amazing. Check out both Eternum and Once in a Lifetime.

Very good story, original, serious and funny, all at the same time. I laughed a lot. The animations are of high quality. Game totally recommended for its quality, as for the amount of content it has despite being version 0.4

One of the best VN's I have ever played, the graphics, the animation, the fucking STORY is simply phenomenal. There's plenty of +18 moments(that are hot as fuck might I add) but man that's just really a side reason to why you should play this. If you love games with amazing story-lines this is the one for you!

the best game I've ever played. The plot, character developement is on another level. I even cry a bit playing this game. not gonna lie but eternum made me understand annd feel so much about life, about people around us. the depth of the game touched my heart. this will always be, my favourite game of all time

First review here, but the game is so great I have to come back to give it a 5 star.
The animations are stunning, the characters are interesting. I even read the plot for once, rarely ever do that.
Can't wait for the next update!

Can't believe I haven't already rated this. The animations, characters, story, EVERYTHING is just fantastic about this game. It's well worth a play at this point, the hype is deserved, it's one of the few games where I check in on the progress every few days.

As well, Caribdis is one of the few developers I trust to deliver quality content, consistently, and on time. I've been supporting them on Patreon since Once in a Lifetime and I highly recommend supporting them if you can because they're one of the few devs that truly deserve it.

Excellent game, amazing story, great graphics.
GOAT Visual Novel imo.
Alexandra and Nancy are the best imo. Only flaw is dearth of material.
Maybe increase the lvl of protag and make him a bit overpowered.

This game is amazing!

I really don't know what to say here. Because it's a real game that tells a real story. It's not just the typical boring excuse to not watch but play porn. In fact, there are some kinky scenes in here, but that's clearly not the focus of the game.

And for me, that's perfect. I really like these games that are actual playable games. On the technical side, I guess they scrape every bit out of the Renpy engine that's possible:

• The pictures are super crisp and in modern screen resolutions. (I guess 2k?! Maybe bigger.)
• The game has this kind of music and sound that you don't wanna deactivate before you click on "Start new game" (like I usually do).
• There are animations and cut sequences. And they are placed carefully.
• I'm not sure if RenPy, which is basically a python framework, can use shaders or if they tricked it in with video/gifs but these tiny effects here and there look good.
• The main menu is designed, the text boxes are designed, even the fonts are handpicked. It really looks stylish.

If the team behind this game wants more on the technical side, they probably need to use a full game engine like Godot or Unreal Engine.

From the subjective view:

• The girls' boobs are too big for my taste. Having 5 girls all with bombshell pounders is neither sexy nor realistic.
• Most, if not all, renders have interesting angles. It's never boring to look at them.
• The story is clearly inspired by novels like "Survival Quest" or books like "Ready Player One". And I like it! No world (server) feels like an asset pack.
• The same counts for clothing, weapons, etc. All look unique and made especially for this game.
• The plot... well it's exciting and fun to read. I really wanna know what will happen next, what's in that box, who's this, is she coming back... Like it should be with each game, but never is. So that's a big plus here.
• And finally, as mentioned before: this is an adult game. Not to confuse with a porn game. If you're here to fap, you'll probably have a hard time.
