All penetration sex scenes and two of them involve defloration and we are finally in the plot of Princess's real birthplace! This update is like an early Christmas gift for me, thank you Caribdis for your mastery:love:!

The Stanley Parable sequence is quite frankly, the worst chunk of content Caribdis has ever produced across both his games. On its own, it's not offensive (although a dated reference), but where it occurs in the story has the effect of completely tanking the pacing, removing the characters from their forward momentum towards their goal... And most importantly, it is purposeless.

There is context to consider here. The new world "arc" has already been split by occuring between two updates. We already got derailed by the 8 months of development. To have it then interrupted again for a one-note joke that lasts from 30 to 45 minutes, has no relevance to the new world plot (and can barely be considered an obstacle), and has such a different vibe from what happens before and after it, that it feels like a complete break. It is a thoroughly annoying sequence. The idea of Orion confronting his fears of what might happen to the girls in the future if he fuck's up is a good one. However, I think that this was both a poor execution of that idea, and I know it was a wholly inappropriate place for it to be put in the grand scheme of the story.

I mean, there's that. Not sure if it's entirely purposeless tho since it serves to speed up Orion's decision to declare his love for the girls instead of dilly-dallying on the issue (which is likely what made him manifest the Stanley Parable-esque nightmare to begin with).

The "lesser-major" pace killer is the opening scene. Two characters we have never met before, and will probably never meet again, having a full on conversation about political inclinations and accusations of laziness that completely outstays its welcome as we ponder the answer to "what happened to Orion?"

I feel like this is a meta reiteration of a point Cari made on Discord about Eternum and Ulysses being so ingrained in the setting that the removal of both (which was part of a discussion regarding the possibility of the third game being set in a future where Ulysses and Eternum cease to be) is hard to fathom, so a future without them could have potential fucked up consequences to the world and might set up an ending where Orion and co KEEP Eternum running to prevent that (tho I'm not sure how you can reconcile that with the fact that the VRMMO is an uncontrollable mess that's already falling apart as is).

That, and it serves as extra worldbuilding fluff for those who want it (same with the Raul meeting during Annie's date).

Or maybe him unable to teleport Calypso at the end is a hint that NPCs can't be taken back to his world?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what it is. If I remember correctly, when Orion was practicing traveling between his world and Eternum, he mentioned that he couldn't travel between servers. Only from a server he thinks about, then back to his world and vice versa. Which, in all honesty, doesn't make much sense to me. How did he travel from server to server with Alex during her scene, without going back to his world?

AYO! I need to go in hiding until the public version drops but first, if you're celebrating, have a Merry Christmas. If you're not, happy holidays.

Now I must go, my people need me.

Damn every time I see the ending credits I yell Fuck you caradbis throughout my house. this was a godly update. Annie has shot up in my rankings and definitely see a Luna X Annie threesome in the future. The Chibi Eternum was so cute during the recap and I would totally buy keychains of it since it just screams merch. Alex H scenes always have the most spice being the wildest and Dalia was the grand finale shit made my Mac explode. we also finally got our first threesome and totally was not expecting the two for it. I didn't like how they brushed off his death and nobody really cared he almost died. the Stanley parable Segment was trippy and a total nightmare but probably Paradise for NTR lovers. Annie villain monologue was hilarious and hype as hell, I been waiting on that moment since the previews lol. Can't wait for 0.9 and Calypso Lore. Best Alex is Horny Alex

My guess would be that Calypso's truly alive just that her homeworld or dimension is unique, could be that its separated from all the other servers ie the worlds of eternum or its somehow hidden, it'll explain how Calypso's imprisoned and retains her will and memories, its possible that her homeworld is enemies with the founder since he took her from them.

What i'm more curious about is world hopping or dimension hopping was apparently an ability those who were descended from Anima, Calypso's ancestor and her nemesis (forgot his name) so, is Orion somehow related to Calypso or the nemesis?
