This isn't a joke. It's literally impossible for me to do a girl ranking list in both Caribdis' games. I can answer questions like "who's the hottest", "who has the most fun banter", "who has the most interesting personallity". But if you ask me to rank them, mind literally goes blank. I can't answer.

This doesn't happen in other games. Don't know what kind of sorcery is this.

It's a Caribdis game, either goes harem route or alone route or dead route.

Eternum - A very interesting game that I am going to withhold a rating for now.

I will post my thoughts here and they are only my thoughts.

This game is a soft game that I personally think is geared more towards women in my opinion. It is NOT a bad game in any way shape or form if you love it then I am happy for you.

Its a long heavily story driven game with very long story beats between any type of adult scenes. It starts off very very very slow before the MC gets a chance to do anything.

The Art style is....different but weird some things look great some things not so much. It's a weird style. It is not unattractive but...well judge it for yourself.

The Story keeps me from rating this game as I like a good bit of this story and it's very interesting at points. The relationships are complex and some have a great depth that is ready to be explored.

So I am having trouble figuring out a proper rating, Story is good, Art is weird, takes forever to get to any hardcore choices.

I can't rate it low as it would be totally unfair, I experienced 0 bugs, everything seems to be working as intended by the devs.

So it leaves me conflicted I neither love or hate this game. So I am basically 50/50 on this game, I won't rate it 2.5 because I feel it is better than that but I think a 3 maybe to high.

For those looking for this type of game with a great slow build up, and if you love this art style than I can't disagree with anyone giving this a 4 or 5 I get it.

I'm just not the intended audience for this game at the moment. I will check back as updates are released to see if any update help formalize my opinion.

It reminds me of A Wife an Mother another slow burn game that is tremendously popular but is not for me either.

Please don't think I am crapping on your favorite game, I am sincerely trying to avoid that, I mean no offense these are just my thoughts.

The fact that you state quite often, quite clearly, that it is your opinion will probably save you from some heat. It's a refreshing break from those who come in stating their opinions as fact. For some reason, they rarely get a good reception.
That said, I don't think your gender stereotypes hold water. A lot of men enjoy Eternum and other story-centered games.

If you can miss a redhead with an eye patch in a room full of others, you aren't very observant. ;)

Penny is a queen bee, so would overshadow almost everyone if she so chose, but Nova gets noticed and isn't a tremendous wallflower.

Not just a redhead in an eyepatch....
A nerdy, quirky redhead who's also polychromatic (with a super power in one of those eyes), and embraces her non-conformity with a passion! :love:

Not sure what you mean with "underrated", according to what I read in discord, Luna seems to be the most beloved and popular characters in the Eternum fandom despite having less content than others xd

Appreciate it I tried to give a respectful critique and an honest opinion. Like I said I am still following this game and I will return for future updates. Unlike AWAM, I managed to finish this game and enjoyed quite a bit of it. I hate it when people rate a game negatively just because it's not what they want so I refuse to do that.

Firstly I completely disagree with your take that this is geared more towards women. I dont have stats but I would be willing to bet money that a vast majority of people who have submitted a rating and visit these forums are men.

Judging by the dev's previous game, the number of sex scenes increase as the game progresses but the game is not going to shift away from focusing on the story - I think the lewd scenes will always be secondary to the plot. The sex scenes are going to mostly be vanilla/harem focused scenes so beyond threesomes and group sex (1 male multiple females) you are not going to get anything more hardcore. There is not going to be any free use, hardcore bdsm (there will likely be mild bdsm), forced sex etc. So if the game is not for you, save yourself the trouble and play something else. There are several games you can play that might be more suited towards your tastes.

The art here is done using Illusion's Honey Select 2 - and as far as HS2 is concerned this looks incredible. If the visuals are not for you then you should stick to games rendered using Daz or hand drawn art because if you dislike the visuals of this game, you are going to dislike basically every other game that uses honey select. Your comment on the art does not apply to this game but is a blanket statement for every single honey select game.

If you are looking for something more hardcore but without the honey select artstyle I would recommend Desert Stalker (daz, mostly a male power fantasy) and Good Girl Gone Bad (hand drawn, FMC game that focuses a lot on corruption).

If you like corruption themed sex heavy games I think the best one is Pale Carnations however that is like Eternum in that it uses Honey Select so if you dont like how eternum looks you will probably not like how this looks either. Another good one is Hero Party must fall but since you seem to care about the art style I did not recommend it uses pixel art as opposed to the usual renders you see in other games.

For me as well, I love playing the part of the Nova's Church fundamentalist ( but it's only for fun, and I don't mean anything seriously all of that is just to play), but I love all the girls equally and it's literally impossible to choose one single girl over the others as you said, it's inconceivable.
They are all Fantastic!:love::love::love::love:

It's Caribdis's magic, he's one of the best simple as that.:giggle::giggle:

I think so far I have somewhat of a ranking:

1st: Luna
2nd: Alex
3rd: Nancy
4th: Annie
5th: Nova (sorry ;) )
6th: Penny
7th: Dalia

But it is very close and it might change during the next update, especially if Alex gets more time to shine. :whistle:

How could you!?!?
:ROFLMAO:

But jokes aside,
I try to make up a list, and I just can't do it.
Somehow I can't seem to be able to put one over another. I find them all equally sweet and interesting.

Even if I can agree to you putting Luna in first position, then I think "but what about Annie? Alex? And Nova, sweet Nova? Dalia & Penny?? And DAMN hot & wild Nancy??" then fall into this tailspin of indecision..

So, I guess I'll have a tough time when the moment will come to pick just 1 out of the bunch at end-game.
*Cries*

:ROFLMAO:
