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

[The_Man_With_No_Name]

I finally managed to complete the most recent Update (my time is extremely limited and I want to have a bit of time when doing a playsession, so it took a while to find this time) and IMO while the Update was still great, for me it felt like 0.8 was weaker than previous Updates. Probably a very unpopular opinion, but I felt that certain aspects felt a bit rushed and some part of the story was cut short to get to the lewd scenes faster.

Those are great, but I would have been fine with not having the Alex-Scene in 0.8 and therefore more outside of the lewd scenes. The other 3 scenes were at least "firsts", so they were more special, I feel like the Alex-scene could have also been pushed back an Update, it felt a bit forced and does not really do her justice after her awesome scene at the end of 0.6.

I am also a bit annoyed by MC - start of the Update he realizes that he needs to be more careful and then proceeds to go into Eternum with his real body. I can get behind it happening by accident or when they were short on time, but not when they visited the Andromeda-Server. It feels kinda off that he does it so casually after saying that he wants to be more careful and less reckless.

Overall a great Update, but IMO a bit weaker than the previous ones.

I agree with all these points. It was probably one of the weaker updates. Not to say it was bad. I wasn't a fan of the whole "doomed timeline illusion". Time could have been better spent on other things.

There was large improvements on the technical fronts though.

Elf world should be fun. I'm always up for more Calypso.

Oh no...

The voices told Orion not to. Why don't more people listen to the voices in their head.

I wasn't a fan of the whole "doomed timeline illusion".

I actually liked it, but I also really like The Stanley Parable, which is the inspiration for this part of the Update. So for me it was really funny, but I can understand why it might be tedious for some.

Oh, I am really looking forward to this! Not really because of Calypso, but mainly because I want to learn more about that world, since it does not seem to be linked to Eternum.

The founder’s artifice was a difficult choice for me. On the one hand.. the guy was clearly evil and up to no good. And on the other hand, I’d rather pick any other option than what the voice is telling me.

I loved the Stanley Paradox homage, too!

But it was an even update! Alex always has story arcs/scenes in those! Traditions must be upheld!



Jokes aside, I agree with your points. It was a great technical update, but it indeed felt a bit rushed story-wise

If anything happens, I´ll just start again. I could have done it earlier, but I already had to start again because I was locked out of Dalia´s path. I decided to stick with this decision, we´ll see where it leads.

Neither option looked good to me at the time.

You KILLED them?
You are probably better off just installing the WT mod, and then proceed to hold ctrl/tab/right click skip for the choices.
Not that time consuming to catch this game up to current using that method.

...Guess I'm one of the few who thought 0.8 was the best update since 0.5. Loved the New World arc feeling like a proper adventure, was giggling at the Stanley Parable section, almost went to heaven with all the Annie stuff that happened, and loved the action packed stuff that happened in the Valley of Kings and final section of the update (not to mention the "action" we got with Alex and Dalia).

The only critique I probably have is that the 0.7 cliffhanger was resolved a tad quicker in the beginning of the update than I hoped. But then again I should have expected it given that this is set in the same universe where a drug lord moonlighting as a tour guide conveniently offered quick body disposal to some guys who got a cult leader killed, no questions asked.

The endings are always good but the cliffhangers are always just drama bait.
It resolved about how I expected.

As someone mentioned the Stanley Parable part only works if you played it (which I didn't) otherwise its tedious and kind of annoying.

0.5 is probably one of the best updates, very well rounded. 0.6 probably has my favorite intro, especially if you play the last scene 0f 0.5 and transition into 0.6. Makes the Jerry narration much better.

Well I haven't played it either but I have heard of it so there's that.

True enough. I'd never even heard of it till today. So any reference went over my head.

For 0.9 it will be a legendary update if Orion has the guts to try something with Calypso while in Hyril'ar since that's sacrilege, but maybe he should take more care since its his real body not his astral body...nah

Wait what are they referring to here?? what doomed timeline illusion?

The whole nightmare sequence of the office made from that goblin's magic in last update

 

[Zegion101]

I think 0.6 was my fav update. Although 0.5 and 0.8 got the best ending points for me

 

[flyingtop]

Really enjoyed this game can anyone recommend something similar. But not the ones with those wierd "realistic" 3d models something similar to this or agent17 or my real desire. Harem is optional would really love some normal romance stuff with a dark twist

So how far are we into the game?

The dev is working on the 0.9 update right? Can I assume this is the second to last update then or shouldn't I trust the version numbering like 90% of the time xD
