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

[Dylan741]

No, as a True Ending.





That's actually one of my pet peeves with OIAL. I mean, I don't mind happy endings. But happy endings need to be earned, IMO. And one that doesn't have that much of a cost on the protagonist's end is basically "meh" to me (and yes, losing Asmodeus was hardly a cost since we barely even knew the guy).

Which is why the ending for 0.7 gives me hope that Cari won't pull his punches this time around and make the group actually earn their ending...and by earn I mean that there will be actual costs to their path to victory, ones that will actually sting this time around.

Gh!
That sound harsh to me, but I can understand your logic behind it and I must say that it work imho, though I admit i would like something less heartbreaking.
But yeah, I agree on the fact that, this time, the choices must mean something.
I may have explained myself badly, I didn't want a fairy tale ending, but the hope they could finish together in a more meaningful way, even though I admit it's difficult to get all the girls ( Caly included), without a very high and painful price to pay would sound bad as you said.
It can't be a gold pave to victory this time true, or else everything we've seen so far would be wasted, and I don't think Cari has this in his mind planned for us.
I'm honest I would like an ending that will see all the gang together ( I can dream, nothing to lose on it), but I will accept whatever the outcome will be, the game so far is more than I could have ever hoped, so let's confide in Cari ability to give us a great ending.

Like choosing four of the girls to die for the other four to survive?

But the theorycrafted ending I've shared does have all of them together, Caly included...

...after everyone in Orion's group dies of old age and reunite in Eternum, that is.

Like choosing four of the girls to die for the other four to survive?

I mean, with the ending I've theorycrafted, it will only require the willing sacrifice of one particular elf.

Yeah, it's more than reasonable, in the end having a first good end irl then finishing all together with Caly too.
Sad but it work.

Ill have to reply in order to link posts don't mind me guys

Let's be real, none of the girls will die

You really want to be that cruel to poor Annie to lose her pointed ear friend?

 

[Dorfnutter]

I mean, it would make their reunion after the end all the more emotional.

People also didn't consider the possibility of Orion getting shot as a canon event, and yet here we are.

 

[Dunner]

After some busy few months I finally finished the current version. Granted I did play from the beginning, again, because obviously I would.

And boy that ending. It was pretty obvious that MC's sheer fkn hubris (this is the only meme from the new ST shows that's good) would get him into trouble and would you look at that, it did.

On the other hand the ending does make for a good meme only us OLD PEOPLE will understand:

That is a bit different, for one we know he will survive somehow. But one of the girls actually dying and really staying dead? I mean that would be the Lauren incident times 100.

I mean, we're gonna have solo endings, so...

Who had won muricans elections?
Are Js finally jeeted into oblivion?
Did Cardano crossed 1$ mark?
I have so many questions

Kamala won in 2024 but there was a lot of protests during her presidency so she´s not running for reelection. The Dems candidate is Jon Stewart and the Reps have Elon Musk.
I have no idea what Js and Cardano are.

 

[Leinad_Sevla]

Point being was that she may not be best girl to you, but she is best girl to those who have certain kinks that you are obviously not into.

What´s the kink that she fills?

 

[Opa Wants]

Female Domination.

 

[PervyParadox]

What´s the kink that she fills?

"High and mighty embarrassed blushing"

Someone said it earlier, but I'll put it in my own words:

Caly, by virtue of her birth and position, is expected to be haughty, demanding, and a step above those who serve her.

The problem is, it is clear that this is not her true nature.

Every time she tries to enforce her superior status, it is a clear performance - and in all the quiet moments where she is not thinking about her status as a princess and heir to the historical elven mage woman, she is actually quite insecure and even, *gasp* sweet.

This contrast is why she easily joins the other girls in my "everyone is equal best girl" group. It's also why I think Caribdis is the best storyteller in all AVNs, he doesn't just give you a personality for a character, and leave it at that, there's always something more going on, hidden, that the viewer, and the main character, have to unravel.

 

[quorkboy]

I'm speculating that it was a clone Orion we saw in the alleyway, and there are several of him each with a distinct personality living different lives. The death of this one will bring the others together to solve a grand conspiracy.

That or Caribdis is going to announce this was the end. Orion is dead. The girls are sad. Calypso goes nuclear in Eternum at the same moment as Annie.

does it have harem?? i mean it does have harem tag

Yes, the "canon" path of Eternum leads into a full harem with all the LIs (at least as far as we know).
