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

So far (v0.7) a fantastic AVN by Caribdis, here are some of my impressions:

1. Story: Quite engaging (I love Isekai). Once I started I couldn't stop playing it, it feels like every scene is important. The writing is great I might say even "Perfect" I mean there are no unnecesary texts just what's needed and many people might think this is easy to do... but fuck! It's not. Also I love its humor just as much as I loved it in OIAL (Once In A Lifetime, Caribdis previous job)

2.Characters: Every girl and her backgound is interesting however there was something that could be better here (IMO) because I felt that some characters where a bit too much cliche, also, the situation.. two sisters and a single mother reminded a lot of OIAL which is a problem coz in my humble opinion Judie, Lauren and Carla were more memorable than Penny, Dalia and Nancy, I would've loved to see something different. Annie felt a bit left out at times. So I'd say for me the most interesting girls are Alex and Nova.

3. Music/Sounds: Great music and sounds.

4. Renders: In the early episodes they're good, but, towards the end they're great.

5. Animations: EXCELLENT animations. Lewd scenes were awsome. Just an observation, MC's cock is too huge man, Caribdis needs to reduce it a lil bit, there were times during blowjobs where girls faces looked a bit creepy xD.

Overall the game is fking great, so far I'd say it's a 9.5/10. It's great to see how Caribdis is improving.

Amazing Storytelling!
Even without the erotic aspects, I just want to keep reading and keep watching how the story progresses.
It has deeply emotional scenes and sometimes I feel like I want to be a part in the story just like when you read a good book.

Addionationally very smooth animations and graphics, very good music and atmosphere.

If I could, I would give 6/5 stars

What are we judging here? If it's porn you're looking for, it's not great, the scenes are decent, characters are generics, but the story and gameplay are way too much, it's very unbalanced.

Then if it's for the story, it's very based on every lame tropes, pervert mc, harem, set in a mmo vr. So basically Ready Player One but worse.

So it's not a really great porn game neither great story. It's a mix of both. I think there are better stories out there and better porn games on that website. I don't get the hype other than to have found a new young audience by checking some memes and anime tropes.

Seriously the best game right now on f95. Models and animations are top notch, but what brings this a step above all others is the writing, Jesus, the writers of this vn could easily write a serie or a book and I would pay for it no problem.

Overall: 9.5/10
Best VN I've played so far.
Highly recommend if fantasy/sci-fi enjoyer
A lot dialogue/content
Hscenes not many, but top TOP quality
Not finished - Potential for this game is limitless
Story - 9/10
Good points:
Women characters actually have a character. They all have their own thing going on, they all play an important role to the plot. Very good design in female MC.
Set in real life and fantasy world (VR - think of SAO). Real life portion was good, nothing over the top. Gets much more crazy in
Fantasy world is the much better part imo, aspect similar to servers in games all having themes. Eternum brings you to all sides of the fantasy world each having their own themes, it is phenomenal.
Originality - n/n
Similar to an isekai - not really original, but the fantasy part having every possible variety is unique.
Don't care about this criteria
Renders 9/10
Beautiful game - from characters, scenes, lightning, and shaders. This game looks amazing.
Sound - 8/10
Music + BGM - sets the tone well, so many different themes. The audio will always match the occasion.
VN no voice acting (wish it had it but not expected)
Playability 9/10
Good points:
No lag
Animations were only there for the H scenes, typical VN gif like scenes. But H scenes were the best in all VNs so far. (There isn't many and they're sparse, however the quality. Perfection)
A lot of dialogue - gives life to characters
Bad points:
Choices don't really matter
Not finished

After hesitating to play eternum because it doesn't involve a certain tag like this devs earlier game which i love, i'm in awe of this masterpiece.

The world building and story telling is very very good. I like the pacing it feels like a ride in a roller coaster in a good way, you got the calm parts and suddenly are captivated in a scene full of action.
The visuals are stunning not only the characters but also the level of detail for the backgrounds and surroundings.

What really got me hooked are the characters, not only do the models look stunning but i'm emotionally invested in them. I love to see their reactions and want to know how they develop and what happens to them.

Ah yes, and then there are lewd animations some of the smoothest you can have in this genre.... with music.... and they are amazing.

This VN hast it all, the complete package - a must play in my opinion.

Don't usually write reviews but this game is just too good. The game has very good humor, graphics, sex scenes. Story can be better but still good. Game play is something that can be improved on. A+ to the devs keep up the good work.

BEST.AVN.EVER*
Everything about this game is amazing. Props to the dev for an excellent game. I agree with all the good reviews here. The story, the graphics, the gameplay. I really like that some decision you took several moons ago shows up later in the game.
What are you waiting for?? Just download the damn game already! Thank me later...
(*) Thus far LOL

What can I say about this game that hasn’t already been said: excellent visuals, great characters and an interesting and compelling plot. There is a reason this is considered one of the best games on this site. If you haven’t played it, do yourself a favour and check it out.

If I had one criticism it would probably be the length of time between releases. I know work this good takes time but it seems a tad excessive for the amount of content in an update, though to be honest this is a minor criticism the game is more than good enough to wait for.

Incredible game even without all the sex scenes. It feels like a sci-fi movie with a genuinely interesting and coherent plot and storylines, and every relationship in this game feels plausible. No annoying big tity girls with glasses like every other game does thank god.

The animations are much more lively than other AVNs I've played. Also the BGMs really make the game a lot more enjoyable.

Also enjoy the fact that there's a minimal amount of chores to do (like the free roams / sandbox) in this game unlike in many other visual novels.

Definitely one of the highest quality VN's out there right now. It definitely deserves it's rating. Nothing about it is over the top fantastic, instead it is the combination of all the aspects of the VN being consistently above average that make this game stand out. It just feels premium and professionally executed.

If I had any criticism it would be that sometimes it plays things a little safe. Not necessarily a bad thing. It definitely feels like a comfort-pick. It's well executed and everyone likes it, but nothing about it blows the mind. However, it isn't finished yet, so we will see if this criticism still stands at the end.

0.7.5

Amazing game, one of the best I've played

Positives:
+ Story - I like this story more than his previous game; I think it's great, really interesting and main thing about Eternum is that dev can think of any random server and make it a reality and it just means a neverending creativity (wild west, pirates, cyberpunk etc),
+ writing - great and interesting, full of humour, you can see that dev is a funny guy just by playing this game, he knew how to make a funny situations and he showed it in his previous game and it just got to another level, even simple things like facial expressions can create a funny scene
+ girls - I love them all, such an amazing group, all beautiful, all smart, if I had to pick a favourite, I think it would be Annie, I think she's the cutest and her relationship with MC looks most natural, I would pick her for a single path
+ music - finally it's worth playing this game with loud music and headphones on, the music is great, really completes scenes, it's not common that I listen to some songs on YT while working later on, but I did with few songs from this game (like silverware); huge upgrade comparing to first game
+ MC - I really like him, I like his look, I like what he has to say, we can see that he's not perfect, he makes mistakes and he's not afraid to claim it, another upgrade comparing to first game
+ amount of content - if you read every single word, you have a nice, long game to play, I'm satisfied with the content for my favourite girls and - even if another updates will take long time which is normal - I don't think we will be even close to some games having a once per year update; I can wait few months for an update and I think it's fair
+ sex scenes - great, I prefer slighty longer scenes, I think they would be better if dev looped some animations and added more text, but even now scenes are hot and great; easily one of the strongest thing about this game, especially with...
+ animations - dev uses a lot of them in sex scenes and outside of them, clearly it takes ages to render all this but it's absolutely worth it - animations are top and even if whole graphic style is a little cartoonish (not real world like), animations just take it all to the next level

Negatives:
- I don't really like Nancy's model, I think she looks younger than she should be, I know they're talking constantly about how young she looks, but come on, add some wrinkles to her face
- ending of 0.7.5

honestly the best AVN out there, played it a few times and will continue to replay the whole game whenever a new update drops.

PROS:
great visuals
great story
great LIs
great music (seriously, never realized how much good music can add to the experience before this game)
great humor
consistent updates

CONS:
none, go play it if you havent already

By far the best game I've ever played. Perfect combination of story, characters, artwork, worldbuilding, writing, humor, music, and animation. I really really love seeing girls in various cool/cute outfits, so this game works so much better for me than many of the more realistic/modern day games out there. It's only gotten better with each update, and I really think the developer is making a model for what a good game looks like.

This is honestly the game that got me into developing my own visual novel. It has a remarkably engaging story for an adult visual novel and if Caribdis suddenly decided to make it SFW I'd honestly keep reading.

I believe 4 star is a fair assessment. The visual is great. Not coincidence that this game is among the most popular game. But I dare say that the story is not the best. The beginning is good. It keeps you excited. But later it feels like you are moving all over the place and it start to get bland. I think this is what you need to know to decide if you want to try this game. If you are fine with going whichever way things flow, then you will like this game.

Eternum is an unforgettable experience and in my opinion the perfect AVN.

The story will have you hooked instantly. The world of the virtual game Eternum is fascinating and contains various unique storylines which keep the story dynamic and the virtual world ties well with the real life so every storyline feels revelant. While sometimes the story might get very intense and dark, the brilliant humouric events help lighten the mood and will get a chuckle out of you.

Characters are top notch. All of them have more going for them than just their personality traits which makes following their daily life so much more rewarding. Also the character models look incredible with very realistic facial expression that truly elevated the experience (The cute nods the girls did always made me smile).

Music and sound effects are difficult to pull off well in a VN but here they helped build the atmosphere very well and fitted the scenes very well.

And finally the sex scenes were truly work of art. Looked incredible and sound effects just made them even better.

Overall an incredible AVN with an incredible story and some of the cutest women you will find.

First VN I've played that i feel has good writing. Story is amazing, music is adequate for every situation, good amount of content. I truly hope the dev keeps working on it as it has very high potential. Good job!

When I saw the graphics of the game I wasn't very convinced but since it had good reviews I decided to try it and... I loved it, the humor is great, I laughed a lot and the story and the characters are very good, looking forward to seeing it completed, very good job!

I came for the boobs and stayed for the plot. This has got to be one of the most intriguing stories I've seen in any game (let alone an NSFW game) in years, the level of detail that must have gone into this is crazy. Everything from the references to the story line or even just the unique character traits I was fully immersed in this game from start to finish, but the premise of the story itself is what has captivated me.

Now don't get me wrong, the lewd scenes are great, the detail is amazing, to the point where you can even see goosebumps on the skin and ridges in the leather seats and much more tiny detail that wasn't exactly necessary but just make it so much more tidy and realistic. I can't imagine how many hours went into animating this whole project.

But the story line is on another level, I've seen games and films use the premise of virtual reality before but I've never seen them pull off such a unique twist and I've got to say it's such a breath of fresh air, I won't go to into what I like about the story because of spoilers and stuff but man if you haven't checked this game out I would certainly recommend it.

Bravo to Caribdis and his team, I cannot wait to see where this game goes.
