I was thinking less of groundhog day and more of Empedocles' theory of time being cyclical. I think it was Empedocles, though I could be mistaking him for some other philosopher. I'm any case, if it's the whole of time being cyclical, they're wouldn't be reason for a deja vu. But that theory is not a hill I'm willing to die on, just a thought that is probably wrong. If it was indeed Idriel (and I don't doubt you for one moment), then that makes the comment extremely unreliable.

The closest thing I remember about the syndicate referencing events that are to come is the girl who hands Orion the letter saying it must be opened not now but later for things to go right.

The letter in question containing a chant from esoterica to break mind control. Sort of lends credibility to the thought that Idriel and her supporters trying to seed certain variables at certain times so things go just right.

I am curious on the nature of the voice speaking in Orion's head telling him something to the effect of "you have to remember, don't believe his lies" when offered The Amulet of Blair

Personally I find that amusing considering that she seems surprised Orion really went off rails with that alley incident back in 0.7, despite goading him prior to that to defy fate.

Probably more a case of her thinking "No not like that!"

She still needs him healthy.

Ripples is similar in some minor ways but think more "Back to the Future" vibes. I was pleasantly surprised when I finally tried it after I played Eternum. I was also looking for something worthy after Eternum.

It's incredible how Ripples' author reaches outstanding levels in rendering and animations using the old and relatively unsofisticated HS1 tool.

Can't wait for the new update! (post nut clarity). The story is really good, Great job Caribdis, loved that he focused on character development over wanking. Reminds me of Touch to Unlock.

Note that he's referring to the duplicator from the Collector whodunit event, and not the Amulet of Blair that the Founder offers.

Oh, that one. I hope we can do something with that duplicator thing.
Yeah, I have the Amulet in my playthrough.

I finally managed to complete the most recent Update (my time is extremely limited and I want to have a bit of time when doing a playsession, so it took a while to find this time) and IMO while the Update was still great, for me it felt like 0.8 was weaker than previous Updates. Probably a very unpopular opinion, but I felt that certain aspects felt a bit rushed and some part of the story was cut short to get to the lewd scenes faster.

Those are great, but I would have been fine with not having the Alex-Scene in 0.8 and therefore more outside of the lewd scenes. The other 3 scenes were at least "firsts", so they were more special, I feel like the Alex-scene could have also been pushed back an Update, it felt a bit forced and does not really do her justice after her awesome scene at the end of 0.6.

I am also a bit annoyed by MC - start of the Update he realizes that he needs to be more careful and then proceeds to go into Eternum with his real body. I can get behind it happening by accident or when they were short on time, but not when they visited the Andromeda-Server. It feels kinda off that he does it so casually after saying that he wants to be more careful and less reckless.

Overall a great Update, but IMO a bit weaker than the previous ones.

I agree with all these points. It was probably one of the weaker updates. Not to say it was bad. I wasn't a fan of the whole "doomed timeline illusion". Time could have been better spent on other things.

There was large improvements on the technical fronts though.

Elf world should be fun. I'm always up for more Calypso.(y)

Oh no...

The voices told Orion not to. Why don't more people listen to the voices in their head.:unsure:

I actually liked it, but I also really like The Stanley Parable, which is the inspiration for this part of the Update. So for me it was really funny, but I can understand why it might be tedious for some.

Oh, I am really looking forward to this! Not really because of Calypso, but mainly because I want to learn more about that world, since it does not seem to be linked to Eternum.

The founder’s artifice was a difficult choice for me. On the one hand.. the guy was clearly evil and up to no good. And on the other hand, I’d rather pick any other option than what the voice is telling me.

But it was an even update! Alex always has story arcs/scenes in those! Traditions must be upheld!

Jokes aside, I agree with your points. It was a great technical update, but it indeed felt a bit rushed story-wise
