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

[Craysser]

actually, she doesn't look into MC's mind there. she chose to trust him instead. that was a big moment for them.

hmm i read it as her reading the mind first time and letting him go. then when he asked second time she decides to trust him. i could be wrong and maybe she did not read the mind first time either but i know there is two instances Orion asks for mind reading to gain trust and i personally felt like first time she did it.

Actually, she married the boss of the company where MC works. so it's implied she got a higher position with nepotism, which she should have despised a whole lot if she was the real Alex.

Yeah did not think of the nepotism angle but i definitely like your POV, it makes for better narrative.

the stanley parable part happens before the threesome. they fall asleep on the beach.
you can say that the nightmares actually contributes to the threesome happening as they both get confirmation about what MC is to them and how they feel, as well as how they feel about the other girls.

guess i misplaced the two in my timeline

no, it's Nancy that threw a spear first. Nova uses Dione as a handgun afterwards.

this i would have to go back and double check but i already deleted the game. I think we see nancy hold a spear as we look at them so unless she already pulled out next one (which is fairly easy and plausible) i'd think holding a spear would indicate not taking a shot. But i think you are right because narratively now that i think about it would make no sense for Nova to randomly picks a harpoon gun form and then switch to handgun and yes i do remember the handgun thing now that you reminded me

you forgot the huge romantic scene with Alex, with a massive drop of a tiny details there
mutual love confessions and a pregnancy scare xD

i forgot a lot as i was trying to keep it short but i kept adding stuff as i have hard time choosing what is not important. i did state that orion goes and confess love to everyone (or i hope i did) while typing about the threesome and nancy stuff so confessing to alex, annie and dalia should have been implied but yes admitedly i forgot to mention it and i also completely forgot about pregnancy scare to be honest. And to be fair if there is any girl at this point of time aka 0.8 it would be Alex because that night they shared was crazy

not really, he boasted that he oneshotted the strongest of them.

ok correct he did boast to others but he does have inner monologue about how it isnt as simple as it looks. The damage he took is not trivial and he was surpised with how quickly jackal reacted and manage to counter attack him. (remember, Orion is quick enough to block thanatos yet jackal landed the hit on him). the rest i think is semantics, i either mostly agree with things you pointed out or changes you made are trivial enough that i dont think needs to be addressed.

Ahhh ! I get it now... Calypso is bottom shelf for you personally then. Argument / discussion over if that's all it is

Tho think the Caly fans are going to come hunting for you after saying she is not top shelf lol.

i dont think calypso is bottom shelf, she is really good stuff but not the top shelf kind. Obviously we are talking in metaphor but what we really are talking here is whether Calypso is main girl, will be part of harem, will get her own picture next to other 7 with her own bio and option to see if you are still on her path like its the case with other 7 aka actually main girls.
to go back to metaphor i would not say Calypso is bottom shelf or cheap stuff, id say she is the secret menu item. Its special stuff that only special guests can order but in reality she is not even on the menu.

but as long as she is close to MC they can leave anytime. that's the point. they don't need any exit portal as long as MC is there. that's a huge advantage for infiltration missions.

i mean yes that part is obvious but it comes with its own problems. Samir already has the plan and we must follow it if we want ishari's help and its not like Orion and Dalia can just casually go around server telling people "oh wait btw we came here with our real bodies so we prefer to stick together so that we can just exit and run away if we get in the trouble".

So I decided to replay 0.8 from the very beginning. Apparently, even if you choose Alex's bagels instead of Dalia's brownies, the game still flags daliabrownieyes as true. Game breaking? No. Immersion breaking? Yes.

yeah those bugs happen sometimes. in 0.7 i had nova mention maat during her scene and how she wish it was her that orion pins to the floor yet i never fuck maat (only time i do is on the playthrough where i make orion fucks everything, if i am doing solo playthroughts or experiment with just few main girls i never bother interacting with "others") at least when they do happen it only affect one or two lines of dialogue and not completely change the scene so its just as you said, not game breaking but does break immersion

are we done with spoiler tags now ?
MC tells her to read his thoughts. she thinks about it and the situation, and then she decides not to. He offers again after she steps back, and she replies she doesn't need to as she trusts him.

this i would have to go back and double check but i already deleted the game. I think we see nancy hold a spear as we look at them so unless she already pulled out next one (which is fairly easy and plausible) i'd think holding a spear would indicate not taking a shot. But i think you are right because narratively now that i think about it would make no sense for Nova to randomly picks a harpoon gun form and then switch to handgun and yes i do remember the handgun thing now that you reminded me

Nancy holds 2 or 3 spears when the camera shifts to her. and it makes it obvious it's her because we see the kill and then the very next image is Nancy holding spears

it would be Alex because that night they shared was crazy

that scene is still a candidate for best sex scene in the game. it was the first where the new level of animation was evident

i mean yes that part is obvious but it comes with its own problems. Samir already has the plan and we must follow it if we want ishari's help and its not like Orion and Dalia can just casually go around server telling people "oh wait btw we came here with our real bodies so we prefer to stick together so that we can just exit and run away if we get in the trouble".

they don't need to reveal anything. they can just insist the team stay together, as it's a basic strategy. and splitting with strangers that you can't completely trust is very risky.
the Ishari need the Empire more than the Empire needs them, so Samir would accept the change. and he is not stubborn as we learn about what kind of coward he really is at the end. he would defer to MC and Dalia if they insisted.

oops
i'd say i dont feel like going back to edit every quote unless forced but i think we should stick to it if we can XD

yeah but that is just hindsight. we dont know that until we already finish the update and that is now how reading/writing should work

 

[Steuan]

Can't forget Alex and Calypso too

Dalia and Jerry knows why we partner with the Ishari and Samir, and Jerry mentions it in the market. it's just MC that is oblivious to it all the player can make an educated guess early on.
but yeah, it's not really important. it's just coping with an impossibly stupid decision

yeah and it is admitedly very stupid. as i mentioned before. first rule of DND adventuring party. NEVER SPLIT THE PARTY XD
i dont think people understand what i am saying

NEVER.SPLIT.THE.PARTY

 

[thatsme1]

Great game, easily the best animation and models of any avn I've played, interesting story as well. I'm very excited about the new patch.

 

[Danny2465]

Great update, Caribdis never misses, looking forward to more.

 

[RonaldGrand6969]

Just finished the Update, and I'll say it again... Petition to make Calypso a Main Girl...?

 

[jock1a]

screenshot proves that my definition of side girl is different from cari's definition. But nowhere in that screenshot do you have a confirmation that calypso is main girl. If anything, i can use that screenshot to prove that calypso is not even side girl but just a plot device thus further downgrade her posibilities of being main girl


This train of thought i like. Calypso being tied to main plot giving off main girl energy is the strongest angle i've read so far and i like it
i dont have a good retort to this at the moment but ill remember it and fight back if possible after 0.9

Calypso being tied to main pole giving off main girl energy

 

[Radish Cruton]

If the writer is DrPinkCake, yeah it's possible, but I doubt Cari would write Calypso off, judging from her popularity. But hey, I don't mind being shocked if the twist is pulled well.

She’s the least popular of the 7 LIs + her, based on a Reddit poll where people ranked all 8.

 

[Paitryn]

I see the dev played a lot of the stanley parable before this update. with the Evangalion original ending slapped in...

I love this game, but making me remember that ending....

 

[KanyeT]

I finished the update last night, great work by Carib as always.

[Remnant-1]

Dang, was hoping for more ancient Egyptian-themed sweaty escapades with Maat but seeing her goofy ass again was good too. Hope that temple actually materializes in a future update lol.

Reddit is uncultured swine detached from reality.

 

[Netao_Da_Caxixola]

Man I don't know if it's just me, but I can feel that training arc in Calypso's hometown coming on. So that Orion can better understand his powers.
