Is it just me?

every time it says "A while later" it sounds like the narrator from Sponge Bob Squarepants.

hahaha

Well, players who die in real life and people who died after the closure of the Gates of Acheron, yes (which I believe is the reason why the dead are currently trapped in Eternum in the first place, as my current theory is that Eternum is some sort of Astral Plane where dreamers wander and those who have passed from the realms of the living go through to reach their respective afterlives beyond the gates. As to WHY they are closed...well, jury's still out on that one but I have a hunch that it has something to do with the untold continuation of Caly's tale and the reason why Idriel is chained in Limbo).
Now I need to remember what the Gates of Acheron are.
So your theory is that a videogame actually became a highway to the afterlife? That´s pretty trippy.
Not saying you´re wrong, obviously, but a videogame turning out to be all this seems to surreal to me.

The person clearly wants more ass bouncing from Dalia. What we got wasn´t enough.

this was fun as a story until the 3 stooges talked so long in front of a weapon they wanted to get they where caught and Orion had to rush away from the nude women, like who does that.

Wut? Thought it's established from current evidence that Eternum isn't a videogame to begin with ((Andromeda Tapes revealing that the creators of Alien had an out-of-body experience that led them to Eternum - specifically the Andromeda "server" - where they then encountered Xenomorphs, the mysterious dude at the Ulysses party mocking Orion for thinking Eternum was a "videogame," Axel saying that Eternum isn't a "game" due to the tech required to run it being non-existent based on his investigation, William revealing that the Founder discovered Eternum and created the implant so that normies are able to project themselves there without having to rely on the typical methods to induce an out-of-body experience (dreaming, meditation, hallucinogenic substances, having a near-death experience) while also masking the entire process as if they're logging into a VRMMO, that entire thing about Immortals being able to jump in and out of Eternum even with their physical bodies hence Caly thinking that Orion was one)), but rather a sort of astral realm where dreamers wander and where the spirits of the dead could be seen, as per current definitions...

The idea also has ties to Greek Mythology, where it is believed that the dream world could be found in the underworld.

And given Cari's knack for referencing Greek Myths throughout the game (i.e. Orion's character mirroring elements of his mythological counterpart, the whole Greek Myth naming scheme throughout the game like Ulysses and Thanatos and Penelope), it wouldn't surprise me if this is him drawing inspiration from the matter.

Nobody's told us if there are literally gates or if it's allegory.
IIRC 0.1 the mysterious caller at the telephone booth described them as "gates," but was then changed at some point to just "doors" (along with the added mention of "breaking the chains," which heavily implies that the caller could be Idriel or one of the Syndicate). The idea kinda stuck tho, hence why I'm referring to them as "gates."

I got a crc mismatch while extracting and game is crashing on launch. I'll post full traceback if needed.
While running game code:
File "renpy/common/00start.rpy", line 288, in script
python:
ScriptError: could not find label 'start'.

That wasn't enough, we can never get enough of this game, or who can, stop joking, you're not funny, also in that scene the camera angle seemed a little far away, a little closer or POV view would have been better, and the climax when he fucks her doggy style, the MC blocks the view of Dalia's beautiful ass, the scene wasn't very well done in my opinion, in that part the MC's entire ass blocks the view hahah, come on man who wants to see that, I'm coming for Dalia's ass

Damn, how many times have you played this game to remember this much?
Can you explain what you mean by Andromeda Tapes and Alien? Are we talking about the movie franchise, is it something within Eternum? So the Founder found a way to make an implant that grants access to this Dream Realm? And then people play it and when they login, their information gets stored and when they die, they stay there as NPCs or in those boxes you mentioned? I wonder who those Immortals are and how they found out that they were that in the first place.
