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

[Takkatakka]

But don't take me wrong, the game is still great. I just think that Caridbis shouldn't make it look too easy for the 'serious' parts and not to only focus on the comedy.

The thing is the first part just wasn't meant as a serious scene. The theme not withstanding the music and tone make it very clear that it was meant as a "let our characters shine" moment that is meant to be fun and give each of them some nice action without actual suspense. Suspense comes more toward the very end of the episode.

are we gonna get to dom calypso? it kinda pisses me of how aragont she is and how she looks down on humans and aslo treating mc like her servant boy

After Cari sees this, he's going to write a pegging scene just for you*, and you will not be able to progress in the VN unless you take it and say "thank you Mistress Calypso" when she's done.

* It will be an unskippable animation, at least 10 minutes long, with Japanese porn star sound effects, where you'll be crying for more.

But that's the point. They don't shine. You don't shine if as a grown up man you beat a 6 yo children. You shine when you overcome adversities. If any challenge in the story ends up to be just comic value the story is unbalanced.

I both agree and kind of disagree, there is a mortality issue. We know that Jerry was level 39(?) and ended up dying in one hit, and that they are being hunted down by Thanatos who has Hyas. While Yes, the girls are not over powered level wise, It just bothers me that they are rarely struggling when it comes to mortality, besides the andromeda section of the story that depending on select choices, we can die (someone said Annie can as well but Idk if that is true). I think add some high risk scenarios where there is no absolute victory route and are forced to run away (and maybe some character resets(deaths) based on choices) would be good for the pacing.

Well, we can kill Nova in this episode if we not careful, .
But the Premise of the game was always an Isekai power fantasy. I think it's good, that the girls are capable by their own, and not just there to be a simple Fucktoy, while Orion Save the day all the time, because he the chosen one and everyone else useless without him.

Does the story have anything related with greek mythology? I know Calypso, thanatos and Orion are from Greek mythology and that calypso in Greek mythology lived on the island of ogygia and in the game we find her in a server called ogygia but other than that is there anything else related to Greek mythology?

 

[Old Grumpy Wolf]

it kinda pisses me of how aragont she is

She's like that because she's a spoiled brat. She needs a good spanking.

Nova's gun's name is Didone, if i don't recall bad. Not sure if thanatos sword is another greek name. Anyway there is a bit of everything. Calypso's backstory is saxon or britannic mithology i think. And Caridbis admitted some the Witcher inspiration. Calypso is much of Lara Dorren.

What can I say? we kids in Asian countries tend to keep the pace slowly when it comes to sex I guess

Well, if you and your friend are actual kids, then that's just fine. If not, then I feel for you bro.

 

[yolo322]

Damn this game is so well made. The music, scenes and artwork are all top notch. Huge props to the developer.

 

[AhoyLaddies]

I doubt it, she know every weak spots & can match MC intense sex skill immediately.Also, in update 0.4, she fired up and giving MC the most experienced blowjob when her father is nearby which mean she does this with alot of guys before to piss her father.

The excuse of "only the tip"because she know she won't stop because MC have the biggest cock unlike the guys she fuck before.She also won't stop saying this is just a one time things which mean the guys she fuck before don't have any attachment with her.Mutually she want to fuck & have sex with those boys because she want to keep rebelling.

Say what you want, Alex isn't a virgin & very experienced in sex.But hey, atleast we are her special guy after all those grind & adventure.

Interesting take, I can see where you are coming from.

The whole virgin debate is a bit silly, I think. For an adult visual novel, nothing would soften someones erection more than watching two people fumble around awkwardly in what is supposed to be a game with pornographic content. I dont want to discount it, but I also think its a bit hasty to make an assumption like that.

As for the whole slut argument, I think you would need to replay the game because I find it hard to take that perspective away from Alex's storyline as you get to know her more throughout the game.
If anything, that is the assumption you would have if you had not known anything about Alex at all. This is, perhaps word for word, what her father said to her during the house scene where she and the MC are working on school project. Which was pretty fucked up.

Below are several screenshots of dialogue with Alex that I think provide evidence for the above points.

Hyas - son of the Titan Atlas
Dione - is identified as the mother of the Roman goddess of love,

Orion literally say "He once was" when the pedo say that it's not a real kid. It show that he know NPC's are former human like Thanatos.

Yeah, he says that, but it doesn't mean he knows it to be the case. In one of the scenes after, he speculates freely about what it all means.

Also are you saying that we can't be sure that Eternum is not a game ? When Calypso nearly say what Orion said during his bleeding case ? Or when Axel explain that it's physically impossible for Eternum to be a game, or at least currently impossible ? And just William who said that Orion understood that some NPC were former humans and that the true nature of Eternum is not what the population think it is ?

No, I'm saying we can't be 100 percent sure all NPC are sentient beings. We can heavily suspect it for various reasons, but it hasn't been confirmed at that point.

Is hyas the sword of thanatos? I'm not very good with remembering names

We as the Players pretty much can be 100% sure that all NPCs were human at one point , and we must save them

Hiya! Does anyone know the song that plays during Annie's scene in this update? Been looking for it but can't quite find the title. Thanks!

 

[sabadongelov]

What the fuck is wrong with you? Have you ever heard of the Turing Test?

There is no reason for an average player to suspect that the NPCs are actual sentient beings. And if you do suspect that to be the case, killing or assualting an NPC would be just as bad as doing it to another human in the real world (maybe worse to kill someone in the real world, have a fuzzy memory about NPCs being respawned after being killed ingame, but still bad).

And even if it's "just code", it's an unforgivable slippery slope inevitably leads to children getting horrifically abused.

A slippery slope is a logical fallacy. Allowing people to fantasise about immoral actions (like most games on this site) won't automatically lead to people acting those fantasies out in real life. Also, regardless of how much you might want to control peoples thoughts and emotions, you can't, which means it's a fools errand anyway.
