VN Ren'Py Eternum [v0.8.6 Public] [Caribdis]

[Takkatakka]

I have similar thought, but I think he works for the Founder instead. I believe the Founder knows where the gem is whenever someone holds the gem on their hands, and he sent Thanatos where and who to attack. Also, that's how he can access the hidden server Ogygia, similar like the Praetorians. It's the same reason why Thanatos never attacks the bank guy who hides his gem in his suite nor the Cowboy guy in this episode who also hides away his gem. That's why he soon appears when the Wagner guy takes out his gem to show off. However, it takes time for him to learn the information and travel there, so if the gem holder immediately leaves the area, he's unable to track the said person.

Why would the founder do that? Honestly with the founder giving the MC the amulet and Idriel trying to help the MC as well it looks more like the Founder is actually trying to steer the MC. Which makes sense if the actual conflict in the background is William with the help of Thanatos is trying to take full control away from the Founder who in turn tries to use the MC to prevent William from succeeding.

The basic problem right now is that we have to few information to do much more than just speculate.

BTW:

What are we supposed to make out of this questions now in light of the ending of 0.6? At the time it only seemed he took her as an example because she was with the MC at the party, but now...

This could be foreshadowing as well.

You can make your own unofficial Mac build by downloading the latest PC version (0.6) and the previous build for Mac (0.5). Unzip both files. Copy the "game" folder from the PC build and paste it into the Mac build by right clicking on the application -> selecting "show package contents" -> "Contents" -> "Resources" -> "autorun" -> then pasting the copied "game" folder and selecting "merge" when prompted. Once everything is copied over. Open the Mac build and make sure everything works.

I do this all the time since Mac builds don't get a lot of love on most forums. Hope this helps!!

Also feel free to sub to Caribdis' Patreon to get an official Mac build (he definitely deserves it) or keep a lookout for the public release (August 22nd) which he'll post the build for free.

Is it possible to do this by adding the PC build to the already installed mac application or do I need to download a fresh 0.5?

Damnit Caribdis!! Just played through for the first time, and I'm so angry. You've ruined all other games for me. This is the pinnacle. I guess I'll just replay Once in a Lifetime on repeat till the next update. You're such a good storyteller...you asshole!

 

[heavenly pete]

whilst you guys are theorizing about the cliffhangers and the meaning of everything, I only just realized after 6 updates that if you swap around the X and L in Alex it makes Axel

 

[ShadowLordV1]

Honestly?
I think this may be a time loop and Idriel is trying to break it.
I replayed the whole game in anticipation of the update and some things stuck out.
The Mc won a contest for the best designed *Video Game* at 14.
He has 100% Compatibility
He if you choose, says that he would sacrifice himself for his friends.
I think in the future his team dies somehow, and he is restarting a time loop/created a simulation where he tests himself over a large amount of tries to find a way to save his team.
Or the opposite, if we go by the canonical name, Orion then what if Orion is hunting the other members? And Idriel is finding a way to combat a future version of Orion by creating an Orion who goes against the Status Quo?
Idriel could be the Princess that Calypso talks about in the update. Or hell even is Calypso herself from the future.
We know from all the hints this isn't "The first time"
And Idriel saying "If you tossed a coin 100 times and it landed on heads 99times what would you choose" and you choose tails she says "You finally are beginning to understand"
Brealing the chains may mean finally breaking from the simulation but I think it means finally breaking from the loop.

So the new theory is that Caridbis favorite game is Planescape: Torment?

 

[eromaster]

Haven't even finished half of v0.6, but another bangin' update so far! Really appreciate all the effort put into this.

That woman didn't win a medal, chang didn't w--.. (hahahahaha i love this game)

...PS:T wasn't about a time loop. It was more of a "reincarnation loop" than a "time loop," really.

I don't think it will be a time loop, that would kinda break the "real world". And I don't think there is anything in the game so far indicating a time loop, is there?

 

[Dorfnutter]

Me neither. Assuming there is indeed a loop that's taking place, reincarnation loop seems to be more fitting to the whole ghosts, chained souls, out-of-body experiences, and the walking dead theming that's prevalent in the VN so far, but that's just my opinion on the matter.

 

[TheSeedy1]

I'm doing another playthrough to make more save points - too many hysterical moments in here. Caribdis's humor is just on point for me. Favorite moment in the new episode is when...

have to agree. best game out there

It is. Note that you don’t need to “merge” the folders. Just replace the old one entirely. That way an old wt mod will be removed, if you use one.

Remember the moment with Alex and the stars? That dimension is exactly like our dimension, but is just used for selling houses to rich people? Nonsense. I think that if the loop is not broken, the realm, dimension or whatever you want to call the world is doomed, and all the people in there. Yes, you can visit doomed realms, but they are empty, only NPCs and nothing more, just like the realm where you find Calypso, an endless and dead realm.
Orion is not the first, and maybe not the last, but I don't feel like is a time loop, is worse, every failure is another realm that perish and more souls condemned to suffer eternally.

But my problem is Luna and her powers. We don't know exactly how they work, she can see the future or just what happened in another realms? If she can see the future she can't change it, if she can see another realms, she can. And why Orion is inmune to that? He doesn't have a future? Is he unique, the first Orion in all the realms? To many questions, to little answers.

 

[Dontforgetthejoker]

Is there an update only file or do I have to download everything

 

[Dorfnutter]

But my problem is Luna and her powers. We don't know exactly how they work, she can see the future or just what happened in another realms? If she can see the future she can't change it, if she can see another realms, she can. And why Orion is inmune to that? He doesn't have a future? Is he unique, the first Orion in all the realms? To many questions, to little answers.

We know at least that Luna's powers operate via touch, and that her family has a history with the supernatural (specifically with regards to spirits and/or the soul). We also know that Luna can see things that will happen to that person later on, so it doesn't necessarily mean she could see a person's end (though it could be part of the list of things she sees).

My personal theory is that her powers are likely soul-related, in that she could see the fates of souls, but not Orion's because either there is something horribly wrong with his, or my crackpot theory is legit and that the soul residing within Orion is not his in the first place and that his vessel/mortal body is technically "empty" (basically meaning she can't read someone fate if their body and soul don't technically match). And the reason why her powers don't work in Eternum is because she and other players are essentially Astral Projections, and thus are just "copies" of the soul instead of the real deal.

Of course, there's the matter of "excommunication" and how that works if the one the Praetorians are excommunicating is just a "copy" of the soul. Could be that "excommunication" sends a killswitch to the nerve implant, which in turn bounces a player's true soul back into Eternum for collaring/transformation into an NPC. Anyway, this is me just spitballing theories, could be that Luna's powers operate differently and that excommunication has a different process from what I've said. We'll have to wait until a later update to see that thing settled (maybe in the next one given that it should be Luna's turn in the LI roulette).

 

[ramvivat]

You are probably using a 0.5 save modded

well, that's great, super! (spoiler: no!)
mod 0.6a downloaded and installed. did not help.
And now what i can do? play from the beginning?

 

[ggxox]

Just finished the 0.6 patch and oh man how do you keep making it better, the renders are just amazing and the story is really picking up now, that cliffhanger was crazy.
I just want to add - I like the balance of sex scenes done within the real world and Eternum's world but I'm hoping to see crazier scenes that can only be possible inside Eternum if you know what I mean, and I think that was really foreshadowed by the example of:
