Don't be afraid - the story progresses beautifully, love is shared IRL with three wonderful women, some old things resolve, some new thing are introduced, and there's no Gertrude. The worst thing that happens is that you encounter...
Nope
Aw man, it's been a minute but great to have you back lad. Congrats on the surgery too!!
Jokes aside, here in Portugal there's also Nova University of Lisbon... but that's because Nova literally means new in portuguese lol.
I'd argue that not every hot girl that exists in the game is likely to have a sex scene though. Nor do they need to.
It means "won't go" in Spanish. The Chevy Nova didn't sell well in Mexico...
I feel like the term you're looking for is "higher plane of existence" or "spiritual plane" more so than "afterlife." Lore already states that dreamers get a glimpse of Eternum every once in a while (see: Andromeda tapes and William's lore dump), so "afterlife" is not necessarily accurate.
Considering all of the stuff teased for 0.8 (i.e. 2nd hop on the New World, December Ski Trip, Dalia's Birthday) I find it unlikely that Orion is going to stay dead for long. My money's still on a stay in Limbo where Idriel has stated that time doesn't exist, which would allow him to go through a character development phase without having to worry about how much time has passed since Eternum's time seems to flow just as normal as it is in the real world (whereas Limbo is implied to be a realm detached from both). Then from there he could either get picked up by Caly or he revives through sheer libidoImean willpower.
I mean, we're talking about a realm where the living dead exist (and are either chained or walking around), where astral projections and dreamers (and druggies (see: OIAL event where MC got high and unwittingly found himself in a pocket plane in Eternum)) come and go, and where the experience is more real than real life (which is sometimes used to describe a dream). I'd argue that "higher plane of existence" is indeed more accurate.
Lore states that we literally go there as astral projections though, which by most accounts (i.e. occult texts), is akin or linked to spirit travel or travel through the astral plane. And the astral plane is a higher plane of existence compared to the material plane (which is likely where the "real world" is situated), although in some stories there are things in the higher planes that find themselves in the lower (even OIAL explores this via Astaroth).
The characters go there as astral projections. That's not the same as saying they are going to the astral plane. The occult believe you can use astral projection to travel this plane of existence.
Then explain how can the dead manifest themselves in said places when in the "real world" they couldn't*?
