VN - Ren'Py - Eternum [v0.8.5 Public] [Caribdis]

0.8.0 Review
Still the best Novel game for me even after all these years I played since 0.1.0
The animation keep getting better and more common which is like mind blowing, worth the wait every single time.
The story get more and more in-depth with each update.
The characters development pacing doesn't feel rush and isn't slow at the cost of less NSFW scene.
Much love to all the creators who wrote, animate and voice acted in this project. You guys are the best.

Enough Glazing, Time to complain
-I am abit sad they are not focusing on Luna but can't really complain that much caz we get banger animation for other heroine
-The cliff hanger are always spot on and too good that it makes the wait even harder. Yes I am complaining because it's too good

Edit: I see many people giving this low rating and for those who read those review, This is a game with the slow and steady pacing where you get to see many character developments for every single characters[ not just LIs ].

Don't expect pump and done story for this game. I started playing to fap but stayed since 0.1.0 for the story of every single characters.

I just love this game. The script, the visuals, the humor, firls, all just really GOOD. The only aspect that can be improved is sex, as for my taste, it would be cool to see bore butt stuff involved, if you know what i mean, But anyway great job, can reccomend for anyone who love this type of games!

Amazing game, everything is 10/10. The story? Truly captivating, the models and animations are peak. Relations between characters are plausible, and not forced at all. Music is very good, it's humor one of the best i've ever seen in these games. You can see the amount of work and love everyone involved in the development of the game has put. Just download the game and start playing, you will understand the quality of the game even on the menu screen.

Eternum: MY personal Masterpiece of Virtual Realities and Virtual Heartstrings...

There are few games that manage to blend humor, intrigue, romance, and jaw-dropping visuals quite like Eternum. Developed by Caribdis, a name that’s rapidly becoming synonymous with storytelling genius in the visual novel world, Eternum is a wild, captivating ride through a virtual MMORPG—and into the hearts of its characters.

Let’s start with the obvious: Eternum is drop-dead gorgeous. No, really—this game looks so good...its a feast for the Eyes (for HS 2 Standards). The character models? Chef’s kiss. B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L. The backgrounds? BAM..Immersive enough to make you question whether you're staring at your monitor or a portal to another dimension. This is the level of polish you expect from some AAA title, not an indie project. Awesome. (Yes, i am a Fanboy..)

The Plot Thickens (and So Does Your Curiosity)
The story follows you (MC)—a fresh college student navigating not just real-life drama but the treacherous (and sometimes hilarious) world of Eternum, a VR game where every server is a new adventure. You’re not just playing to level up; you’re uncovering secrets, battling dark forces, and, if you’re doing it right, making a few ladies swoon along the way.

What sets Eternum apart is how effortlessly it mixes humor with mystery. One moment, you’re laughing at a character’s razor-sharp wit, and the next, you’re clutching your chair during a heart-pounding confrontation. I’d compare it to The Matrix meets Ready Player One, but honestly, this game stands in a league of its own...

Characters You’ll Actually Care About (or..how i want to be with all the Ladies)
Speaking of swooning—oh boy, the characters (aka LI`s)! Each one feels like a real person, with quirks, dreams, and a hefty dose of charm. Whether it’s the fiery rebel who takes no nonsense (Dalia) or the nerdy best friend who lights up every scene (Annie), you’ll quickly find yourself emotionally invested in their arcs. And let's be real—choosing who to romance might be the hardest decision you'll make all year...i can tell you that.

Laughs, Thrills, and the Occasional “Did That Just Happen?”
Caribdis’s writing is pitch-perfect. Period. The humor sometimes lands so well it almost feels like the dialogue was plucked straight out of a buddy comedy. But don’t let the laughs fool you—the game knows exactly when to crank up the tension. I won’t spoil anything, but let’s just say there were moments I nearly dropped my drink in shock.

Room for Improvement? Sure, But Only if You’re Picky
No game is perfect, and Eternum is still in development. Some parts may feel a tad rushed or leave you longing for more depth, but given how much content is already here, those are minor gripes. If anything, the wait for the next update feels like being told dessert is coming after a three-course meal—it’s worth it, but it’s torture...lol

Verdict: A Must-Play Masterpiece
Whether you're a veteran visual novel player or someone looking to dip their toes into the genre, Eternum is a no-brainer. It’s smart, sexy, funny, and thrilling—a cocktail that’s hard to resist. And let’s face it: who doesn’t want to escape into a virtual world where you can save the day, crack a few jokes, and maybe, just maybe, find love along the way...

Welcome to Eternum.....

This game will probably go down as one of the best adult games ever.

The story, Top Notch.
The audio, Amazing.
The graphics, One of the Best in the Business.

And every time Eternum updates, it does not disappoint. This is the only game that makes me want more every time I finish the newest update.

Where to start... The game is weak, it has no interesting things. From the beginning we look like someone who wouldn't touch a woman and that's what happens. Terrible characters, terrible animations, renders that need improvement, sex scenes? Boring and monotonous. Nothing in this game is engaging, I hope there are as few games like this as possible.
Characters 1/5
Renders 2/5
Animations (Please make them better) 1/5
Terrible plot 0/5
Overall rating 1/5

I'll keep this short as there are many reviews saying the same thing. This is an example of a creator doing everything right.

Story: Top notch. Excellent world building with believable characters. It's also legitimately funny, dramatic, and poignant.

Audio: Again, excellent. Great, memorable music choices and perfectly timed sound effects both during adult scenes and during the normal course of the story.

Adult content: Before the last two updates I would have put it in the top ten, but after careful consideration I would have to say this is the number one game on F95 when it comes to the adult content. Great, sexy dialogue (especially the use of different fonts, sometimes moving fonts, to elaborate on just how MUCH they're enjoying themselves), numerous lengthy animations, and perfect, realistic progression that isn't same-y. Some characters you sleep with relatively quickly while others take several scenes of building up, but it's always believable.

I said this would be short, but I can't say enough good things about this title. Carbidis continues to outdo himself with each update.

Funny and engrossing story with great world building, beautiful music, and sex scenes that'll knock your socks of? What more do you want from a visual novel?

I'll let my five star rating speak for itself, and remember it when you read the rest of the review.

The biggest thing I can say about this game, and actually Caribdis other game, once in a lifetime, as that it is almost too full of memes and meta humor. That's just what kind of games they are, there's a lot of fucking around, doing spoofs, quipping and referencing. If that's not your thing, it may get frustrating. I can tolerate it, but it does get grating at times. Because of this, stakes can often be left behind, and you come to expect that even when dramatic cliffhangers happen at the end of an update, comedy will be present early in the next update to break the tension. Not to say this is a bad thing, it's just a very predictable style. The story is a unique take on ideas that have already been explored, but the writing is good enough to make it fresh. The girls feel a little similar to Caribdis previous game, two sisters + mom + a bunch of outside girls that all become best friends on a quest to fit the MC's dick into themselves as deeply as possible, but they also just feel like upgrades over the girls from the previous game, better models, more unique personalities, and more connected to the MC on a personal level. The animations are great, the variety and frequency of sex scenes are great, the romance is great, everything is just great and dandy in this game.

But one thing will knock it down a star in the next update (joke), and that is if in the sex scenes, Caribdis keeps using that fuckass sound effect whenever a position is changed, it happens in every single sex scene and it has made less and less sense every time. You'll be plowing a girl on a stone floor doggy style, then the scene will change to prone, but the fucking chair falling over sound effect will still play and it's taking me out every time cause I know its gonna happen. Please stop with it, I beg you

A brilliant game with a gripping, fantastic story. The sexy characters are exceptionally well done and full of life.
It feels like a playable, living anime... with intense and great lewd scenes.

There should be many more games of this special quality.

@Caribdis: Great work! I wish you all the best!

One of the best if not the best game out here. Caribdis already proved himself with his first game Once in a Lifetime which is an amazing game.

10/10 story
10/10 characters
10/10 animations

10/10 Game

Fantastic story and really hot girls!
One of the very few gems of ero-games that actually have a really interesting world and story behind the sexy girls.
Oh and the Eternum world concept is already good baseline for a fun and interesting storytelling. Worth reading every word of this game.
10/10 game in all aspects from me.!

Very nice game. Graphics and audio are great, lots of beautiful girls in different styles, multiple locations, nice pace, good storyline, humor that actually made me smile and laugh, and a sidekick that got your back

I just can't find words. Absolutely mindblowing.
Story, animation, characters... I can't say any bad about this.
There are everything that need to be there. Humor, action, drama, mixed bag of emotions. Balanced perfectly. Craving for more and more!

Caribdis...You need to be in the entertainment industry.
Movie, TV Series, Videogames... anything. Period.

One of the best Harem VN (easily in top 5 VN you can play) and certainly the best honey select VN.
Simply its a Masterpiece the visuals are the best honey select you can find in any VN, the soundtrack is amazing and the story is also great moreover the universe of the story is impressive and the world is realy beautiful.
The dialogues where very good and the relation and dialogues between MC and the Lis was extremely enjoyable with great dialogues and great humor, i had many good laughs while playing the VN.
The MC is very good and quite capable the Lis are all extremely beautiful and interesting and with their own unique personalities furthermore in my opinion they are among the best LIs you can find in any Harem VN.
Finally i extremely enjoyed this masterpiece and i highly recommend it and of course I have bookmarked it and i can't wait for the next update.
11/10

Simply Excellent, few games on the site that always keep you waiting for something great, I hope to advance the time to be able to play it already finished, a truly magnificent masterpiece.

Peak artistic writing, superb visuals!
Caribdis reminds me a lot like some great manga-artist, where writing and art just tell a different and more immersive story - in the AVN entertainment story telling medium, Cari is and will (hopefully for as long as he can) remain a GOAT candidate for everyone - for me he just is!

Eternum by Caribdis is an engrossing visual novel, merging fantasy, romance, and action seamlessly. Its artwork is stunning, from the character and background design to incredible attention to detail. Rich in story, full of unexpected twists, and charged with emotional depth from the very beginning, it easily draws players into the story. The characters are fleshed out, each with unique personalities and backgrounds that make you truly care about their fates. Your choices do matter in this game and will affect the outcome. There is replay value, given this aspect of it. With its entertaining narrative, memorable characters, and stunning visuals, Eternum is a title that any visual novel enthusiast should have on their radar.
THIS GAME ITS NOT JUST A GAME IT'S MASTERPIECE RECOMMENDING TO ALL!!!

Eternum is a visual novel that stands out due to its immersive storytelling, engaging characters, and interactive gameplay. Set in a rich, detailed world, the game mixes elements of fantasy, sci-fi, and romance, offering players a diverse experience.

Rating: 8.5/10

Storyline: The plot is well-crafted, with a strong narrative that keeps players invested. Its twists and turns add layers of intrigue, and the character development is deep, making the choices matter.

Gameplay: The interactive elements of the game, including decision-making, are enjoyable. However, some players may find the pace slow at times. The choices you make influence the progression, which is a positive for replayability.

Visuals and Art: The artwork is stunning, featuring well-designed characters and backgrounds. The animations, while sometimes limited, still capture the mood effectively.

Audio: The soundtrack enhances the experience, adding to the emotional weight of scenes, though voice acting could be expanded in future updates.

Goodness: Eternum excels in delivering a strong narrative, a visually appealing world, and rewarding gameplay. Though it could improve in certain areas, such as animation fluidity and pacing, it remains a top-notch visual novel for fans of
the genre.

This game is truly outstanding, offering a fantastic blend of engaging scenes and a compelling story. The balance between the narrative and humour is impeccable, keeping the experience both entertaining and emotionally engaging throughout. The writing manages to bring moments of levity without undermining the serious or heartfelt elements of the story.

Even if very specific, I'd like to tell you my relation with this AVN.

Last year, I bought a Quest 2. Euro/American Truck Simulator, Skyrim, VaM. It was awesome.
But somehow, this game, while drunk and of VR, brought me the best "fantasy" experience.
At some point, I was IRL drunk and arrived the... prom night? How fitting.
The timing (in my own life), the lenght of the whole scene... It felt "me" but in someone else's skin. Nova then Penelope? (BTW, add Y'ALL in your games the walkthrough please) felt a dream come true.
Not a loser anymore. I won it all. And felt at peace with miself.
Sexuality is not something that should be harnessed or ashamed, but understood. We live with it, we don't escape it.

I still am a looser, but I'm REALLLY working on it. Buying a cheap house soon.
And YES, I DO think this game helped me moving on in my life.
