Cali keeps adding plot points but does not resolve any of them.

We have 5 episodes and the game's not over. They're going to be resolved eventually.

As my example earlier, we spent all this time learning that NPCs are dead humans, we tracked down Wyatt's family and discovered that he is alive in Eternum. Excellent setup. I have been waiting for the next encounter with Thanatos to see where this would lead. He finally shows up at the end of the last episode, Orion attempts to explain the situation to him, and Thanatos shrugs, says "Who cares?" and does whatever he wants anyway. 2 years for this and nothing.

Wyatt has been characterized as someone who will stop at nothing to collect those gems so talk-no-jutsu isn't gonna work with him. Also I feel like the resolution of Wyatt's plot thread isn't connected to his remaining family in the real but rather in finding out WHY he is so obsessed in getting the gems (which at this point is still a mystery).

This "line up all your plot points and knock them down at the end" works for a 2-hour movie with three Acts, but it tends to drag on when it is stretched over 13 updates in six years. A steady flow of questions and answers would better suit this medium, but that is just me.

Current storytelling is warranted considering that the finished game is going to eventually play like a "2-hour movie with three acts" instead of being released like OIAL where Cari just made things up on the fly as he went (resulting in a story that feels like it'll be fun if viewed in an episodic manner, but feels somewhat repetitive when viewed as a full arc).

But it is broken.
Cari wanted to make scenes with them. It is teased numerous times. People would love to have scenes between them.
Patreon's shitty policy broke it.
And it could literally be fixed with some little dialogue tweaks and two name changes. It's not ideal, but it would be the only good solution.

Anyway, I'm just ranting. Pretty sure Cari won't listen to me anyway and that's just too bad.

Just getting tired of people shrugging it off because "it is what it is" like it's normal. Come on people, be a little more rebellious than that. Get a little angry about shitty policies ruining creative freedom at least, sheesh.

Eh.. you just want a scene where they fuck... making them unrelated would straight up make the story worse... And in a porn game whose main hook is the fact it has actual characters rather then fuck toys it wouldn't make sense... I know I probably would've forgotten about Eternum long time ago if that were the case... Not every option needs to happen...

Why? You are aware that not everyone on Earth has an incest kink, right? (I'm personally not especially against it, but I don't get people who insist it needs to be built into every story & VN.)

Indeed. Since Orion can have sex scenes with each of Nancy, Penny and Dalia individually (and his scenes with them will feel almost like incest), I'm not too worried that he can't have a sex scene with them all at once. If that depresses him too much, later in the game he'll probably be able to have an orgy with all of Annie, Alex, Nova and Luna simultaneously (and that orgy could also include any one of Nancy, Penny and Dalia as well).

I'm not sure Nancy will have scenes with her daughters due to Patreon’s ToS, right ? But honestly, whether Orion has scenes with several of them or individually doesn’t bother me much. I highly doubt he could do it with all of them at once ! x)

the story is so good and fun to watch :D somehow i really think Annie is Thanatos, that would be wild

Wait, whaaaaat ? :LOL: The twist could be fun, but it wouldn’t make any sense plot-wise. Plus, I don’t really see anything that would suggest that’s going to happen.

In this case it makes sense why people are asking for it because the dev himself wanted to add a foursome scene with nancy, penny and dalia. It has been hinted towards in earlier updates (yoga scene, penny/nancy sharing underwear, complimenting dalia's ass when penny shares that photo etc). Additionally there's a message in the spoilers/early access channel on the developer's discord that the dev made when the earlier versions were out saying he wanted to add the scene - if you are a patron you can find his message there. So its not just shoehorning a kink for the sake of it like people here are making it seem.

It was after this update (or was it the previous one?) that he said that he unfortunately cannot add it because of patreon's rules. Which I can understand... it is his livelihood and it would be dumb to risk his main source of income just to add one scene in a porn game.

Rooh, don't argue about this matter of incest in the game. The game is already quite satisfying with what it offers, even without incest or an I-patch.

We all know that with Patreon's ToS, there won't be this kind of content in the end, it was pretty predictable. It's a bit of a shame for some scenarios we might have imagined, but it's not really a big deal.

Everyone is free to enjoy whatever they want, but don't turn it into a topic of bickering between you that goes in circles and monopolizes the discussions, thanks.

Calypso will be Orion's first official Wife, due to "circumstances"
Click to expand...
Maybe, but then you gotta think of as to why Caribdis hasn't given her a character sheet yet in the relationship status area. PURELY based off that, I don't think Calypso will be part of the actual harem. Tho I could be wrong, and I def want to be.

I do remember that Calypso had her character sheet with stats and this first replayable scene at one point in the game. It’s unclear why Caribdis removed it since then, but this suggests he wants to keep at least some mystery around her. After all, many theories are already circulating about her true nature, abilities, and role in the plot.

I wouldn't be so definitive about the fact that she will never be part of it, especially since recently the relationship between Orion and Calypso seems to be slowly developing and growing stronger. The cliffhanger in the last update suggests that the next one will likely focus a lot on Calypso and her relationship with Orion.

I suppose that she and Orion will likely have a special connection, particularly when we consider all the symbolic elements in the game, like the references to mythological themes in the world of Eternum. For now, I believe Caribdis is primarily building suspense around this character, both regarding her future relationship with Orion and the secrets or mysteries about her that will unfold later.
