Just finished playing the 0.7 build. And Caribdis, I've to thank you for your amazing work.
I can say this is the best game I've played this year (lewdgame or not).

Your game is truly different, not only it's beyond beautiful and the soundtrack is always on point, but most importantly the respect you put in those characters you created is so delicate. I never felt an once of cringe through the game (and I can feel super awkward around porn related subject if not done perfectly right).

The world of Eternum really feels alive, and I've lost track of time more than once while playing. I'm pretty new to this field of game, and as I said in a previous post, I feel playing this game is a weird curse because you know no other game (of this type) will be as well balanced/as good as this one. So you enjoy every moment even more and everything this universe has to offer you.

Can't wait for the next chapter, and till then I'll try my best to convince my wife to play your incredible game because I know she'll love it as much as I did (again, because you value your characters so much and girls in your game are way more than puppet toy played around by the MC). It wont be easy because she's not such a horny girl as me, and the story becomes really captivating from chapter 0.3 onwards, but it's really worth the try.

I'm creating my patreon later today in order to support your work because Eternum is really the first +18 game I don't feel ashamed playing and I even talked about it to people I'm really shy about intimate stuff, it's how safe I feel around your game.

Congrats & thanks again mate, working in a creative field myself I can only imagine how hard is to work on something so many people are waiting and I can only see myself drowning under so much discussions/feedbacks around my work.
Hats off.

As always, I'm not a native english speaker, please be kind if my sentences are not perfect. I'm doing my best.

You made a great point, and expressed a lot of what I think and how I feel about this game.

If you want to have something to quench your thirst while waiting, you could try Caribdis' previous game, Once in a Lifetime. It's not as polished, and the beginning is indeed a little cringey, but it has a lot of the same elements and treatment of characters and humor. I think you'll probably like it.

Hi again Finuee,
I think so too, but I'm not in a hurry yet. 0.8 is just around the corner I can wait a ~month, no issue.
Eternum is still too fresh in my mind not to mix the two games, I'll wait around the release of the 0.9 to do so I think.

In addition of the "respect for the characters" and the "non cringey" stuff, I really liked the art direction of the game, many people told me to try other 3D games of this type but the chara-design and renders are to plasticky/trashy from my taste. I've only played 2D before Eternum because it give more room for the art direction to shine.

Also is OiaL a incest-focus game? Because it's something really taboo from where I'm from I really struggle to surrender to a game if it's an important part of the narrative.

Have a pleasant day.

I also prefer 2D games, but they're in the vast minority.

As for incest in OiaL, the MC is not a blood relative of the two main LIs, who are sisters, but has been living with their family for a while. He's not a step-brother, but is a very close family friend. So there's no direct incest when it comes to the MC and them. It's similar to Eternum with Dalia and Penny, only closer. There's a patch that makes them brother and sisters, but I don't recommend using it, as it makes the suspension of disbelieve hard to mantain.

The game is a harem game, like this one, so if you don't lose any paths the MC eventually he gets to be with all his LIs and there is one scene with a threesome between the MC and the two sisters.

Hi I'm playing the game again and I wanted to know if it's normal that you can only use the slot machine once in the casino, in my memories you could use it more times and play with the saves to get more money. :unsure:

It's normal, it's not that we know how much credits we need in the future. I always earn some.

Yeah...I remember save scumming getting very lucky at the slot machine and push the money to...1200 or so, I think.

Haven't played that part in a while, so I'm not sure if that was changed at any point. :unsure:

There was a max I believe. But it used to take maybe 5 or 8 wins to reach it.

Yes, that's right, I launched it once, got the 3 BARs and then nothing...



I already feel like my money's being stolen on this game, but if I don't earn much in a place where I should be earning more.... I'll never get good equipment.

If I remember correctly, you eather lose too much and it forces you out, or you win the jackpot and you can't play more.
It might be tweaked now though, not sure.

Ideally (or at least if you've been following the walkthrough) you should be entering the slots with about 1453 eternals. Now the actual slot machine "cap" before Orion stops playing is around 1900 eternals. However you can push that to 2033 eternals (the highest you can get) by reaching 1893 eternals (the trick being that you need to savescum the jackpot 3 times then aim for a 3-bar win) before hitting the final jackpot win (otherwise you only get 2013 eternals if you go for jackpot-only wins).
