Depends on how you view multiverse theory - just because there's multiple doesn't necessarily mean that every possibility exists. We could still be the first to play the finished version

Hi everyone, I’m new to AVNs and usually prefer to read ones that are fully completed. With that in mind, could anyone estimate how long it might take for Eternum to be finished?

You are clearly very new in the wonderful world of adult VN's....
Most games on this site are in development for years, several were started in, like 2017, and are still not complete.
Keep in mind that these are all indie projects with very small teams (or even single persons) working on them.
Regarding Eternum, there is a reason it is one of the highest rated games here. Just start playing, there is quite a bit of content already. Or better, start playing Once In A Lifetime first, it is made by the same author and completed.

I don't know...I realize more and more that I don't try to get all the paths in branching games anymore. Some of the most extreme examples would be BaDIK or ORS and for the former I still haven't played all the branches of the last update and for the latter I settled with one path and didn't do any other.
Maybe if the game is done and you really want to enjoy it to the last with a considerable time investment. But branching also means the player has to go through a lot of the same content multiple times, which either lets it grow old very fast or leads to skipping large parts of the game, which hampers the immersion in my opinion.
Add to that some unskipple BS like the some of the mini-games in BaDIK and it gets really annoying.
So the way Cari does it with Eternum by focusing in one main "canon" branch has some downsides, but I wouldn't fully agree that branching out makes very game better at least not with tons of caveats around it.
On the other hand I have to admit that the choices in Eternum are arguably the weakest part of the game, because a lot of them are either insignificant or the right one is very obvious which also makes them kinda pointless.

Yep that's the problem or balance for VN's to have the right mix of meaingfull choices and atleast immersive choices(flavor)
i find that to games that branch become after many updates a chore and the mono path VN's have the problem of hit and miss much more,
what i found in most VN's as a problem is if there are to many love intrests
i updated the game on android and loaded a save but when i go to the gallery it crashes and if i look at the gallery of individual girls all of them looks locked is there a way to transfer the gallery as well ? i still have all the old files
Late to the party. Suddenly noticed something and wanted to see if there are other references or not.
Please forgive my lack of context in case things are explained clearly later on.

I don't understand how we have here 0.8.5 here but there's nothing mentioned about this update on patreon or any other platforms, like dev log's ot progress report. 0.8 update became public only few days ago and like, even if you wanna pay for patreon and download it from there or buy it on itch there's no way. The latest version mentioned there is 0.8???

That is the implication, yes (and would explain why certain assets from various IP (like the Exit Portals being Nia's Chakrams from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Annie's swords back in Ion being the floating swords that androids used in Nier Automata) could be found in Eternum).

0.8.5 IS the Public Release version of 0.8. It's numbered that way because that's how Cari numbers the versions that come out for certain tiers and all.
So basically...
0.8.0 -> Demon Lord tier version
0.8.1 -> God tier version (contains fixes for bugs and issues reported by Demon Lords)
0.8.2 -> Eternumite tier version (contains fixes for bugs and issues reported by Gods)
0.8.3 -> Master tier version (contains fixes for bugs and issues reported by Eternumites)
0.8.4 -> Supporter tier version (contains fixes for bugs and issues reported by Masters)
0.8.5 -> Public Release version (contains fixes for bugs and issues reported by Supporters; Is considered the final release for that version)

Agreed. Eternum feels like Dev maxed out all stats other than "choices". Don't get me wrong the game is still a 10/10 and vastly superior to other games but it does feel like a Honey select slice of life anime/show more than a video game. That being said everything else is top tier.
The only thing I miss is more groping and build up to sex scenes. Most of the time is just story then suddenly fucking and continue of story.
For example heart problems is a good build up. Maybe a little much but its sets the mood

Make sense, at first he was going for 18-20+ updates but since each one is 1k+ renders, the quantity of total updates lowered
