I hope this is just a bad taste joke by Caribdis, because if in fact some girl dies after everything that has been lived with them, it would be the worst fuck up ever in a game, I just pray because actually this is a joke, seriously.... if that happens, this will go from being my favorite game to the one I hate the most.

The main 7 are likely going to be fine no matter what kind of near-death situation Cari subjects them to...provided that you haven't greyed them out, anyway.
Can't say the same for Calypso tho, considering that while Cari said she's "part of the harem...but different," she still doesn't have a dedicated LI page. And that kinda bothers me since it's possible that there might be a terrible reason why she doesn't have one even at this point in the main story.

But imagine the emotional impact... I would really like if there was a dramatic ending, honestly.

As someone who found their GF dead on the sofa I don't need to imagine. This is a porn channel, no corpses here pls. At least not without clear warning and appropriate tags TYVM. Maybe write your own pain & suffering story?

Considering killing off a love interest out of absolutely fucking nowhere like an RKO is wildly regarded as one of the worst decisions another highly regarded developer of adult games ever made, I don't think it'd be a good idea to ever recreate the feeling.

Please don't take offense, Cari will do whatever he pleases, and I'm pretty sure he won't do that.
I'm really sorry. I was half-joking, and didn't mean to trigger you. I'm sorry if I did.
I am already. I would like to know how you would feel a fair warning should be, if you'd care to answer. I don't want to make people uncomfortable, but I also don't want to give spoilers. But this is not the place to talk about that. May I DM you about it? Please don't feel forced to say yes, I'll understand if you'd rather not.

I just wanted to lightly touch this; some drama is absolutely fine. But, as you know, tragedy and drama are not the same thing. This game is a strange mixed bag at times. It isn't sunshine and bunnies all the time, but in my opinion, it would feel out of character to end on a tragic note. (Unless it is just one of many possible outcomes/endings and then, totally, I can see it. You didn't have your girls back? Here are the consequences.) For any lesser reasons, it would probably feel cheap and unwarranted.

I understand. This is not the right game for this kind of dramatic endings, you are both right. I take it back.I just wanted to lightly touch this; some drama is absolutely fine.

No need to apologize (to me, anyway). I was just thinking out loud. It can get me into trouble sometimes too!
If they die, I think we can be pretty sure that they will miraculously come back from the deas.

I'm not saying there shouldn't be a dramatic ending, that would be fine, for whoever likes it, of course, not for me. But at least if you plan to do that, there is also a happy ending with the harem, we have enough misfortunes in real life, so that it happens in our favorite games too. It would be great if it has 2 or even 3 different endings if.

I hope you're right man, but I don't know, I wouldn't be so sure, after all Caribdis would make the decision, not us, his patreon maybe, but... us. I definitely don't think so.
Either that, or a solution like in Muv Luv Alternative: Several of the characters we have come to know and love actually, really die, and it's incredibly sad and just as irreversible as in real life. Accordingly, it hits extremely hard. However, there is some extra trick that makes it totally bearable for the readers. (I hope saying that much doesn't spoil Muv Luv for anyone, as it is one of the few visual novels that are actually better and longer than Eternum and are real top literature comparable to the top classical novels. It's just not an adult visual novel like Eternum, though adult enough to have found a place on this site.) The world of Eternum is fantastic enough that something like this should be possible. I have an idea how I would implement it. And of course it would make for a great cliffhanger.

He's actually not talking about getting LIs killed there, more the opposite...
I think the 0.10 update might be related to something happening to Calypso. She’s the most powerful and she has the blood of Queen Anima. I don’t think she’ll die, but something bad might happen to her.
As for the LIs dying, I don’t think that will happen. Some people might want something dramatic to raise the stakes, but I’m pretty sure almost 90% of the audience wouldn’t like it if something happened to the LIs. This is one of those few games where everyone likes every LI. It’s not a game where people dislike certain characters or LIs. All the girls are written really well, and anything happening to any of them wouldn’t sit well with the audience. At the end of the day, this is a porn game with a really good story.
