Neither. It means having sex with Lorelai won't negatively impact your relationship with the rest of Chang's Nine (Alex, Annie, Calypso, Dalia, Luna, Nancy, Nova, and Penelope).

It's likely a typo. It should be "Won't affect other girls relationships"

During the sauna scene, there's a fine line that goes from left to right during the handjob sequence and one of the sex sequence, anybody else noticed it? Think its some visual bug, doesn't occur during the other animations.

I think that's a glass door. That's what I assumed while playing.

Edit: Or something else like that that is affecting the camera

So, basically a pane of glass or something in the sauna that is causing an effecting on the camera at certain angles, or it's just a weird light effect in the sauna.

Ok I'm replaying the game because the latest update hit my heart like a truck and I need to feel alive again. But anyways, just from the very first scenes:

1. I wonder what makes Kredon in particular special and why Ulysses decided to headquarter here. Plus the rain, the weird rain has to lead up to something. My guess is that the ouroborous doors that we saw in the latest update in Hyril'ar probably lead to Earth, and they probably specifically lead to somewhere in Kredon. Maybe the Founder is trying to open them or something and it's making the weather sad? Or something like that, don't know. But particularly in the latest update, there's been greater emphasis on how there is in fact magic in our world of Earth, with our powers and with Luna's powers. I feel like it's going to be a plot beat that recontextualizes our world into being just as exciting and dangerous as any other world in Eternum.
2. We left Kredon just over a decade ago, supposedly because our dad had to relocate to the UK for work. Surely totally unrelatedly, Ulysses was also created just over a decade ago, and Eternum was "created" with it. But I bet the latter prompted the former somehow, either by our dad being in on whatever secret of why we're different, or maybe Idriel hacked his employer or something and submitted the relocation. I guess it'd be in order to hide us/protect us until we're ready to face the challenge. Our acceptance into the exchange program, along with randomly two other slots so we could just bring Chang and Annie along, which we said we would never have come if Annie couldn't come with us, could also probably be explained in a similar way. That Idriel or whoever is making things happen to place us where we need to be.
3. I completely forgot about the phone call after getting off the train. We need to find Calypso and use her to open the doors of Acheron. Wonder what doors those could be... I'm sure it's nothing. Though. I really don't like that the Acheron is the river which serves as the entrance to the underworld in Greek mythology. And that in this latest update we were talking to Luna about how if she died we'd be a complete wreck, but Luna would instead find some necromancy shit to do since the world is so fantastical already. And then this update ended with the fear of one of the girls dying permanently in Eternum. Which would make them into an NPC. And this group that called us seems associated with wanting to free the NPCs. Maybe opening these "doors of Acheron" would somehow free the NPCs from their Eternum-bound afterlife? And if one of the girls did die, then they could be necromancied back that way? Maybe Calypso could bring them to Hyril'ar through a portal and then they could come through the ouroborous doors to get back to Earth and be resurrected?

Yeah, this is a good game. I suspect that next update we're probably going to be able to get all the girls back safe initially, but then of course we'll still have work to do in Eternum, and will have to go back in to accomplish it. And then maybe during that work, maybe after we get our fifth gem of doom from the Japan server, there's some confrontation, maybe with Thanatos, and one of the girls die in-game, and thus in real life too. Maybe at that point we would be so angry that we go full demon mode and end up killing Thanatos, getting the rest of the gems of doom from him, but still having lost one of the girls, which is not a good trade, cliffhanger. Then in the update after that we connect back with Calypso, figure out those doors, and resurrect whoever died. Then in the update after that, I guess we try to take down the big bad Founder who is probably also an Immortal or something.

But then that only gets us to 0.12, and 0.13 is planned. I guess 0.13 could be an "epilogue"/wrap-up update, but I feel like I'm still missing something. Or everything. I could be missing everything. I guess I'm leaving out whatever resolution there would be with the Syndicate and with Idriel, but that seems like it could be folded into one of the speculated updates I laid out. Dunno. I love this game, though.

EDIT: Oh shit, and I just realized Idriel's parable of the man knocking on the door and it not opening from this latest update is probably related to the ouroborous doors too.

1.Changing the weather against nature is a kind of magic. Luna's powers are not magic, they are something like a talent, a gift perhaps.

2. Here you have lost a little understanding, Eternum is simply a combination of the astral field with some servers who become accessible with the astral projection.
The astral field is the void, the gates that connect the worlds together.
There is no If in the movement of time time can be both back and forth. Whether I did this or something else would happen just doesn't matter.


3.The Gates of Acheron yes, if you have a coin it would be even better.
Luna, based on her gift, is the only one who could survive if there is a sudden disengagement from the astral projection.

Edit....
An explanation is the path of time that moves continuously on the same schedule, everyone does the same continuously until someone makes a different decision and the development changes.
As I said before there is no difference in whether I would do this or that, time may go back again, but for that to happen there will have to be someone who will have to make a different decision in order to make another timeline.
You can always change the timeline but to do this you have to have access to the World without Time.
Only with such access do you have the power to change timeline.
And the game takes you for a while in such a world.

Man the animated font during the sex scenes absolutely murders the performance when clicking through the dialogue. I wish you could turn it off. Can't see an option. Couldn't find any post about it when I searched, not sure what the right term is.

Oh, and if we did start taking the girls with us into Eternum through our teleportation power (as I've speculated before will happen because it's now in a way safer than entering Eternum via the implant, since we would act as the exit portal), then it could be that in this moment when one of the girls die, their real body would just die, and they wouldn't turn into an NPC. If that is the case, then maybe instead the girl would get fatally injured, and we would have to quickly get them back to the real world, put their visor on (maybe not their Eternum suit because it's stated at the start that it's technically not necessary but might result in bugs), and then I guess.. kill them in Eternum as a last ditch effort to preserve their life by turning them into an NPC.

And if I had to put money on the girl that would die, it would unfortunately probably be Annie. I think given our history together, it would probably be the punchiest option narratively-speaking, and it would be kind of a cruel twist that the girl who was so addicted to Eternum ends up being the one trapped in it. I'm not sure, though. And it would likely have to come after whatever scene with Luna and Annie that Luna saw so that even Luna would be unsure what will happen. That could tie in nicely with our conversation with Luna where she said she would do necromancy to resurrect us if we died. That after having a threesome together (and everything leading up to it), Annie and Luna grow closer, and then when Annie is fatally wounded, we're freaking out and emotionally a wreck as we said we would be if Luna were to die, but then Luna is the one who comes up and tells us there's a way to save her and refocuses our emotions, and we put Annie into Eternum via the implant and kill her there to make her an NPC, planning to save her eventually, essentially accomplishing necromancy.

But separately from all that, I do really think one of the girls will become an NPC. It would provide a clear emotional hook for us to really want to and need to free the Eternum NPCs. We care already, but it's not our main focus. With one of the girls as an NPC, it becomes the foremost emotional and narrative priority.

 

[e6mill]

it could be that in this moment when one of the girls die, their real body would just die

Um, we don't know that - because it's never happened. Nor has it been explained in-game why some people die for real and Jerry gets reborn again and again. Blaming the permadeaths on the Praetorians is an ASSUMPTION...

 

[ThisOrdinaryIdiot]

Just want to say Holy Shit. This set a high bar for adult games, too high. Only thing that would top this is an open-world/VR version with real implants. I suddenly regret playing this too soon, I can't enjoy other games anymore.

Except for maybe Pale Carnations... genuinely both good games where decisions have weight albeit Eternum being more linear than the former.


Update 01/07/2026 - Skip for potentioal spoiler for 9.0 >

Got a little bit of time to cool down and agree on one particular point of issue during the sex scenes. I get why going for round 2 on later scenes has you going buck wild since the romance route is well on its way but not having a choice to pull out or even prefer protection dampens the experience a little for our immersion loving brothers/sisters.

You make good points and I have a lot to add.

A common opinion (including here) is that Annie is just the childhood friend: shy and cute, but that's all, it's something they've seen before. Some even considered her useless. Boring, right?
NOPE.
The very point of her character is to make it look like that's all she is, while being that and much more. People would appreciate her (and Caribdis' writing) a lot more if they read thoroughly and between the lines, something that Eternum is well worthy of.

Much of Annie's contributions are overlooked, but not because they're insignificant.
Both in-game and IRL, nobody notices when Annie gives Orion another $880, because Orion barely even makes note of it; she's just doing exactly as you'd expect, it's her character.

The initial $1500 from Annie is much more significant than she tries to play it off as; dumbass Orion has just moved to another continent WITHOUT ANY SPENDING MONEY, yet Annie already knows what he needs and is prepared to back him up, before Orion even realising he needed help in the first place.

Spoiler: And without Annie's money, you can't

I've never seen anyone mention how essential Annie is in so many ways, for example in getting Penny to join the harem.
It's Annie that sparks Penny's interest in Eternum (by her excited retelling of the Ion adventure with Orion).
Then after Penny witnesses Annie's confidence in and appreciation of Orion, she's comfortable enough to invite him to her first photoshoot.
Annie's (thus far unrequited) love for Orion is what leads to Penny cucking her LOL, poor girl...

Functionally, Annie is different to the other LIs in that she has the additional responsibility to help you understand what is happening or to advance the plot. (e.g. the game introduction, first Eternum experience in Ion, Andromeda chibi recap...)
This isn't the most exciting, yet it's the most important to have a coherent story.
Just like when you tell a joke; the laughs follow the punchline, but a punchline is nothing without the setup.

Honestly I haven't done a good enough job of showing her accolades and contributions to the group here, but a simple half-assed appreciation post of mine can't do her, and Caribdis, justice so I think I'll keep her real achievements to myself until v0.9 goes public.

I actually like Annie for a very simple reason, she's the normal from a bunch of wacks(including Chang the Goat and Orion the Pussay Slayer gets extra debuff when entering a real fight). Her presence makes me appreciate the different chemistry and keeps things down to earth.

So the wooden door with the symbols of the ouroboros is surely the famous doors of Acheron.
