I wasn't completely sold until the first visit to Alex's house, then I was like yep, I understand the hype

Just different aspects of the story hooked you faster. I got more into the story of the MC trying to obtain the Eternum chip, then getting into Eternum. The train ride, chatting with Chang, going to school, all that stuff was just intro and did not really catch my attention as I was trying to see past that surface. I guess I am more of an entree kind of guy rather than an appetizer type of guy.

I saw Annie in the first scene and knew I had to continue. I had heard Eternum was a GOAT AVN, so I was already interested in seeing it through, but Annie is what hooked me straight away.

Yeah, Annie has the cuteness overload factor.

I'm a sucker for the girl next door/childhood friend trope, so I fell in love at once. Then I met Luna and fell again.
I clearly have a problem with my balance, I keep falling in this game.

Yeah, I have the same issue. I am not into tattoos but I like Alex's personality and Luna is a bit of a girl next door Wednesday Adams vibe. Nova is just too nutty and cute not to like.

That too. I make a mean plate of enchiladas and some darn good breakfast tacos myself.

Is the music restoration mod recommended? I'm playing through Eternum for the first time since .5 and tempted to see what the new music is like.

Each of us has our own tastes and you can't argue with that. It's another matter when you try one game and you don't like it, you share your opinion about what you don't like and leave here.no matter how many of my fellow Eternum fan, loved Cari first game, I don't like it, and I dropped it.
But when you say that you played the same game a couple of times and you don't like it and then you dictate your dissatisfaction to everyone, like why is it higher in the rating? It's just a little envy and nothing more...
there were such people and not only in Eternum, they exist in some topics. As say, let's move on!

I'm on the same boat as you, I didn't feel the update was lacking story-wise at all.
...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.

I knew of the Stanley Parable, but have never played it, and still enjoyed that part immensely. We each have our own tastes I guessThe 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.

If you play version 0.8.5 it will add nothing,the music mod is required for 0.8.6+

He had to take a lot of songs out of the game due to legal reasons. That is the main (only?) change with 0.8.6.
So if you have 0.8.5. it is basically recommended to play that version and keep it, since that has all the music still in it. It is not "new" music in the sense that there is more of it, it is just a substitute for what was there before.
Then again: Never hearing the original music might be a good idea, that way you don't know, what you're missing in future versions.
It's impressive how Penny and Nancy look different, but when doing certain facial expressions (like the scowling face) you can tell they're mother-daughter. Just like how similarities between family members work in real life.
Dalia also got the same ASSets as her mother. Its how I personally tell they are related as well, same vertical smile and everything.
