Eternum seems to be the best game on the site according to the weighted rating. What do you fellows think might be the reasons behind it? (It's been a long while since I last played the game.)

To me it's because the storytelling is higher quality than just about all of the other adult games I've seen. The visuals are also top notch with the animations in particular some of the best I've seen from any adult game (better than Being a DIK IMO). The characters are likeable and well written, the story is original and interesting enough that I would find it enjoyable even if there were no sex scenes at all, the sex scenes are top notch, the music is good, and there really aren't any glaring weaknesses.

I was blown away by the jump in quality from his previous game to Eternum. I actually ended up playing this one before his previous game and found myself wishing I had played them in the opposite order. If he makes any kind of leap in quality after this one when he moves on to his next one all bets are off.

Those are exactly my feelings, having like you played Eternum before Once in a Lifetime.

Maybe the reason why Calypso still has not ascended to full LI status yet is that Cari knows he is going to kill her off for the story? I can't ever see a LI dying, but Calypso? Maybe...

Honestly at that point I've got no clue what Cari's got cooking over there, even if a lot of the theories I had turned out to be true but the reveal and how they came out to be a thing totally surprised me... On another note, Calypso is (as far as I remember, I haven't played in a while) the only girl with the same set of variables as the main LI's, so maybe the decision could be because Calypso doesn't belong on 'normal' Earth?

I'm hoping she survives whatever happens in the story, but it wouldn't surprise me if she had hot elven princess-ly duties to attend to by the end of the game and staying with Orion and the others turns out to be far from a viable option for her and that's why she's visually and narratively separated from the others.

Assume Caribdis won't be cruel enough to give her a page and still murder her with a stroke of a key. I wouldn't be that confident.

Having no page gives the vibe that she's a lot more expendable compared to the others tho. At least with a page dev is giving the impression that her chances of survival is basically the same as the rest (which means she will at least reach the final chapter before all bets are off).

I don't think whatever Cari is scaremongering over is going to be a fatal consequence. I imagine it'll be something dramatic relating to a choice we made before - possibly the thing with the Founder, possibly not - that either is really fucked up in the game or is emotionally harmful outside it. But it's two updates away so it's hard to project accurately where we're gonna be by then. Two updates ago I wouldn't have called Orion getting shot or winding up in the elf kingdom as an upcoming cliffhanger.

I think the only reason Calypso is not on the LI list and heart system is because she is necessary for the plot. Like you can't afford a route drop with her before as Orion and her connection was the reason he teleported to her at start of 0.8, she saved him using portals at end of 0.8 at the expense of her powers because he is now someone dear to her. I assume with next update there will be more romantic progression with her and she gets into the list as doubt there will be much "lose path" options after all these confessions maybe until the ending
