Eternum weaves a compelling tale with memorable characters and intriguing lore. The narrative kept me hooked, eager to uncover each twist and turn. A must-read for fans of [Genre - e.g., fantasy, sci-fi] novels.
i love it, thank you for upload and thank you the one who make this

Introduction
Caribdis has done it again. Eternum isn't just another adult visual novel; it's an experience—one that blends sci-fi, humor, mystery, and romance into a breathtaking story. If you enjoyed Once in a Lifetime, then Eternum will blow your mind. With an immersive narrative, stunning visuals, and characters you’ll actually care about, this game easily ranks among the best AVNs ever created.

Story & World-Building
The game takes place in a future where Eternum, a hyper-advanced VR MMORPG, has become the world’s biggest obsession. You play as the MC, a newcomer to the game who soon discovers that Eternum holds secrets far beyond what anyone expected. As you navigate both the real and virtual worlds, you'll encounter conspiracies, powerful organizations, and mind-blowing twists that keep you hooked.

The writing is exceptional. Caribdis manages to seamlessly switch between comedy, suspense, and heartfelt moments, making the story feel alive and engaging.

Characters & Romance
Let’s be real—the girls are top-tier. Each LI has a distinct personality, detailed backstory, and believable character growth. Whether you like the sassy and confident Luna, the soft-spoken and mysterious Nova, or the playful yet intelligent Alex, there’s someone for every taste.

Unlike many AVNs where romance feels forced, Eternum takes its time, making relationships feel natural and rewarding. The chemistry between the MC and the girls is incredible, thanks to well-written dialogue and excellent pacing.

Visuals & Sound
The artwork is simply stunning. Caribdis has perfected the semi-realistic style, making every character and scene visually striking. Facial expressions are detailed, animations are smooth, and the different Eternum worlds are diverse and well-crafted.

The soundtrack and sound effects are also top-notch, adding to the immersion. From suspenseful music during tense moments to relaxing tunes in casual conversations, everything fits perfectly.

Gameplay & Choices
This isn’t just a kinetic novel—you actually make meaningful choices that impact the story and relationships. The mix of action, mystery, and humor ensures there’s never a dull moment.

Final Verdict
Caribdis has cemented their place as one of the best AVN creators with Eternum. It’s a 10/10 experience—engaging story, breathtaking visuals, lovable characters, and the perfect balance of humor and drama. Whether you're here for the plot, the waifus, or both, this game delivers on every level.

Eternum is a well-written novel with a lot of hours of content. It's biggest advantage is that the setting makes it so that the adventures of the main character occur in all sorts of different worlds. There is a horror level, vampires and werewolves, pirates, wild west, etc. Despite the large amount of content the game isn't boring at all. You are fed bits and pieces from the overarching plot slowly, usually at the end of a chapter and it's always a great reveal.

Now onto the porn itself, which is well animated, but there are quite few sex scenes since the game's pace is slow. One criticism I have is that the MC's cock is just comically large.

All in all a great game and one of the best adult visual novels currently released.

Best quality porn game out there, hands down. Caribdis delivers yet another banger after Once in a Lifetime, improving upon their techniques and creating an immersive, entertaining and overall incredibly polished experience.

This game is almost too good to pe a pornographic game. The game as great graphics, the characters have also a personality growth. The game has a story and lore which is comparable to movies. And it is also funny

Overall: 3/5

Aside from the excellent renders and animations, the story of Eternum left me with much to be desired after the recent updates of EP 5-8. What started as an engaging action-thriller unique in its contexts as an Adult VN devolved into generic harem game with no risk or consequence. Though it may be trivial, the narrative structure flows much more linear than branching like you would expect from a VN. Too much in fact that there is no risk nor consequences of your actions. I feel as if the anonymity of giving player choice is just a pretense of being able to call itself a VN. Although giving a player too much choice can break the immersion of the game, this one ruins it by not giving enough meaning to each choice.

What mostly is a downside for me is the MC. After the recent updates, he seemingly fell into a pit of being generic and too perfect. There are no flaws in his character, and this being the case makes him boring and uninteresting no matter how you spin it. Additionally, the dialogue (especially in the H-Scenes), too has devolved into generic and cringeworthy exchanges reminiscent of modern fan fiction, with phrases like "Hey babe" and "Don't worry babe" becoming all too common.

Therefore, I have to call Eternum average because it lacks the depth and engagement that made it initially compelling.

Without a doubt the best game of its kind, each update surpasses the last. And Caribdis has such great musical taste! I still can't believe they created an original song (Good Friends) so amazing for Annie's scene.

So much work. I'm speechless. Don´t need to say more. Excellent! The different scenarios, the girls (liked even the plump ishari girl, for a change). Thank you for the full emotions. Of course, something of what would become possible in 20 years, or so.

I've played a lot of h-games, hundreds and hundreds (hey man, don't judge) but this is without a doubt the best of them all. Storytelling, humor, visual quality and sexual content are all top notch. Even the soundtrack and work is a good level above even the best peers.

I wont spoil anything or talk in depth but I urge anyone to give this game a spin because it is truly an amazing piece of work amongst so many others. I hope the quality with future updates wont take a hit and all power to anyone involved making it, Eternum is absolutely fantastic. And if you love it as much as I do, consider supporting the creator. Not many creators truly deserve the scratch but this one certainly does.

A highly acclaimed game, but sadly, it suffers from the same shortcomings as many other AVNs—it tries to tell too much while staying within its limiting format. The dialogue, in my opinion, is a bit too juvenile. Some jokes are really good, but the overall plot lacks significance.

The MC morphs and changes too much from scene to scene. He doesn’t have a well-defined character because the author constantly adjusts his behavior to fit different scenarios. The love interests are also far too one-dimensional—most don’t act like real people.

The plot has aged like milk. The VR, MMORPG, Isekai, and Fantasy genres, which spawned from SAO's success, have been done to absurdity in Japanese anime. The problem is that the plots are predictable, offering nothing truly innovative, and this game follows the genre playbook so closely that I couldn’t help but get bored by the premise.

It’s still good, just not the storytelling juggernaut I was promised.

this is one of the best visual novels that I recommend to everyone.
I read it completely twice.. I'm crying again ...
I like this story. I dive into it completely. there is a good variety of music. interesting and memorable characters. there is also humor. from the first minutes it was interesting to read. and now going through it for the second time I notice a lot of things that I did not notice before.
I am looking forward to the continuation of the story..

This is crazy good stuff.
Usually, I am not much into VNs, but I cannot stop being amazed by this great and fun story mixed with hot and varied lewds. It really is a dream come true! Thanks to the contributors!

This VN has a lot going for it. The models are terrific, the scenes are top notch, and the story is pretty interesting. But the thing that I think makes this one of my favorite VN's is the banter. The back and forth between characters that is silly and fun makes for a good time read. I often find myself just fast clicking through other VN's to get to something interesting, but with Eternum I read every line of dialog.

Not many times can I say that a game has had me constantly waiting for updates or has me up late finishing the story not even for the scenes but just to savor every moment of each update that come ever so slowly but are made with such care and dedication that it bewilders the mind.

When I first began Eternum I was beginning in the 0.3 version of the game and ever since I got those banger scenes and story I was hooked. Every update added more and more P E A K. The comedy in the game is great, the romance makes my heart burn, the story makes me feel like the thinker pondering the meaning of humanity only to be brought back to the sight of some of the finest women ever designed like D A M N. We got everything blondes, red heads, brunettes, Chang, and even latinas and so much more like Caribidis DOES.NOT.MISS. Such a rich story beautiful animation and by far some of the best cliffhangers I have had from a game like this.

If Once in a lifetime was the appetizer in the Caribdis library then this is the main course. And even when an update is read once twice even 3 times over or more I still come back to this cause as I said before they DO.NOT.MISS. So I wait patiently for the next installment knowing it will in fact be PEAK.

(Btw Penelope's motor madness is the best scene by far hope to get another one with them cause DAMN)

Love this game.
The characters, the humour, the scenes. Can't wait for the next update.
The pacing is also good.

I still get anxious when picking which girl I want to give points to at some decisions though.

Probably one of the best adult games out there. There's an intriguing story, full of references, humor, action, romance and drama. Excellent choices in music, well rendered models, likeable characters, and absolutely banging sex scenes. 100% support this dev and give this game a go

The name of this game comes up all over the site and in a lot of sigs, so I finally decided to give it a try

I can't see where the positivity comes from, the game is just ruined by loooooong boring fantasy world bs. It's hardly an adult game. it's closer to kids TV.

The only few redeeming scenes like being in bed with Alice(?) are ruined by comically large penis thigh fuckign her from a weird angle that in the end just makes it look like she is trans rather than a sex scene

The graphics are dated, I dont know the name of the style but it does not appeal to me, however with good enough writing a game with these graphics can still get your imagination going. This one does not.

The renders are so-so. A lot of overly busy scenes and womens bodies that change proportions every other image

The writing doesnt have many errors but it's not good. The situations that lead to nudity etc are close enough to being convincing but are not well thought out. In the end the dialogue is unnatural

As usual the easter eggs and comedic charm of Caribdis 's games are on point. I found myself laughing so much, rooting for the characters at points where I found myself even talking out loud encouraging the character for the next outcome or plot point.

It is an amazing roller coaster ride. The plot's with Caribdis's games tends to veer a bit, but overall they are great, Eternum is no exception.

I haven't completed the most recent version yet, i'm partway through the Halloween Party, and it has been a blast. I'm excited to see where things turn up, and if there's more to Idriel and Calypso.

The scoring and music selections are top notch! I found new artists I really liked, and some old favorites!

My first review guys!
I just wanted to say what a good game this is. The MC growth, his doubts and motivation to finally accept his love for the girls is very captivating. The romance is really well written and the world building is phenomenal. The sex scenes are really well animated and the game is not a fuckfest, all the lewd scenes have some kind of purpose inside the story (which is my favorite setup). Keep up the good work, Caribdis.
