VN Ren'Py Eternum [v0.9.4] [Caribdis]

[kanenas49]

If the founder was inspired by mythology and hidden history, then Orion is a guardian.
Guardians are born as ordinary humans, and their powers gradually activate.
The first activation usually comes from something very shocking or a death.
The shocking event can come close to a heart-stopping moment, which is why it is directly connected to death; essentially, the first activation comes with death.
The second activation also comes from something close to death or death itself.
Powers are usually activated through death, but the guardian learns them through nightmares, which operate even in real time. The guardian's punishment is that they cannot die until they complete their mission.
Guardians are among the most powerful beings in the universe, with powers on the brink of gods.
They are not superheroes, but they possess incredible powers, one of which is the alteration of the movement of time. Guardians are immortal, but they feel the pain of death and the reawakening of the body each time.
What is worse than death? Not being able to die.

Yeah, I'd have to choose just one as well........but, I don't know. Annie seems like she'd be worth it. *VBS*

The weirdest thing about this game is that even though I date almost all but one of the LIs, the cheat menu still shows me that I'm not on my route to the harem. This can be manually turned on through the cheat menu, but it's still weird. That's why I think you shouldn't worry too much about dating more than one person in this game.

what kind of bug fixes in 9.4? since i dont want really download all over again since the game is pretty big.

There is no real need to download this update, considering that the story does not continue in this update. Personally, I would wait for the 0.10 update. The story will continue there and you will also download the bug fixes from version 0.9.4 at the same time.

Another thought crossed my mind while reading some comments from people saying that Penny lacks character development and has an “empty” personality. A few weeks ago, Caribdis also dropped a rather ominous line along the lines of “don’t get too attached to the girls.” Keeping that in mind—and considering that time in Eternum is clearly not linear—it made me wonder whether Penny’s apparent lack of depth is not a flaw, but a setup.

What if Penny is not underwritten, but unfinished?

If time does not flow normally, it is possible that Penny becomes trapped inside Eternum at some point, forced to exist and evolve within the system itself. Over time, that experience could shape her into something far more distant, restrained, and architect-like. In that sense, Penny growing into Idriel would not be a contradiction, but a consequence: the same person, altered by time, isolation, and responsibility.


This would also recontextualize her “emptiness.” Rather than lacking personality, Penny may be in an early state—before loss, before sacrifice, before being burdened with knowledge and control. The warning not to get attached would then make sense, not as shock value, but as narrative foreshadowing. Penny is not meant to stay Penny forever.


If this is the case, Idriel would not be an external creator watching from above, but a future version of someone we already know—someone shaped by Eternum itself. And crucially, this would mean her story is not one of permanence, but of waiting. Penny does not become Idriel to remain lost forever; she becomes Idriel to endure long enough to be found. In that reading, Orion’s role is not just to break chains, but to close the loop—to reach across fractured time and finally save her, returning her not only to freedom, but to herself.

An interesting theory, but why do you think Penny isn't a deep character? Not everyone has to have childhood trauma like Luna to be deep. Besides, in the scene from Orion's childhood, when she helps Nancy get a job, Penny's character undergoes a very profound transformation. Her entire storyline and everything she says in episode 0.9 is also deep (at least for a woman in a harem). Besides, there are many scenes where we can read Penny's thoughts, and she also participates in many storylines - this adds to her depth. And she trolls Nova perfectly, which in itself is quite profound.

Agree. Penny is smart, hot af, humble, independent, a nice person, openly kinky, and has her sh*t under control. She's probably the most rounded of them all, besides Nancy. She'd only be boring if one thinks drama is the only interesting thing in a partner.

Oh no no no that is not my opinion I dunno if I mentioned but I took that from a lot of comments I saw a few weeks ago picturing her as a ¨bland¨ character, I personnaly love her personnality nad her dialogs/expressions

This game has the effect of every character being my favourite, based on who's on the screen at that particular time

 

[pwner1213]

in the walkthrough it seems like there's a way to play the board game at the cabin in .9 but I don't have this scene in my playthrough? what do I need to do to get that?

Need to be on the harem path I believe, so every girls path.

thanks, I just checked the gallery and I'm missing half the scenes. Guess I gotta restart and follow the guide to get everything

besides the unnatural perving of Dalia to get in her route, I'd say all of the other routes simply require showing interest and not being an ass to the girls...

It seems to me that Orion's relationship with Dalia is deeper than with other girls at the beginning (except maybe Annie, but Orion is afraid of her reaction). This is most evident in the scenes involving the gag reflex - both in the kitchen and later on the beach (where Dalia clearly plays with Orion by saying “stop groping me”). Considering that they grew up together, I think this theory makes some sense.

It's easy to get all the girls without a guide. If you find you're missing stuff, an easy built in fall back is the fact that most interactions with each girl there is at least 1 response that triggers a hearbeat sound which signals a relationship bump. If you didn't get a heartbeat, just click back and pick a different response. You don't need the best response every time. You mainly need to avoid the relationship ending decisions and those are usually pretty obvious. It's not always entirely consistent though. Sometimes you are rewarded for pushing boundaries while other times you are punished for it. There's not really a sure fire way to tell which is which aside from the heartbeat sound/back button.

I would say the main exception would be the new hot tub scene. There is a scene you won't want to miss that requires making sure Dahlia wins that game which is not necessarily obvious. The game is kind of already geared towards making that likely but not guaranteed, and in fact you still have to make sure she doesn't completely dominate the game or you still miss that scene.

idk bout yalls patreons but on mine Caribdis is the only one with a animated thumbnail pic on the left side of screen with everyone your subed too. makes him so easy to scroll and find. Was that always his intent? the world may never know.

Naaah, it's quite simple actually — you just have to lose the server naming contest, and that's it. No matter how you play the other choices, only this one can ruin your score enough for Orion to fuck up Dalia. Try it yourself, choose any combination, but lose the server naming contest - there will always be a sex scene.

I completely agree. Let's not forget that Penny is older than the others. And it shows. Well done, Cari! Penny clearly shows her three years' advantage over the others. Which Nova doesn't. For me, Penny is a great character.

Nope that's not true. I have never won the server naming competition but I still had a game where I was far enough ahead to automatically win the game without the final coin flip and also had a game where Dahlia was far enough ahead to win without the coin flip. In both cases you miss the sauna scene. You're unlikely to hit either of those scenarios by accident though. You have to try pretty hard to either dominate the game yourself or help Dahlia do so for that to happen. Dahlia needs to win but she needs to not be so far ahead to be able to do so without MC throwing the coin flip in her favor.

Ok, show me the moves then. If Orion lost naming comp, that means Dalia got 200 points for free. No matter what happens next, Orion won't create 500 points gap in next rounds.

You must not only avoid being so far ahead that SHE can't possibly catch up, but also avoid being so far BEHIND that you can't possibly. It took me a a couple tries. Save when the game starts and you'll get there.

 

[FuckMe1234567890]

I don't think you are replying to person you are trying to reply bro, I don't have problems with getting scene, in fact, I found always working method. I am waiting for other guy to prove me wrong.
