Others - Goodbye Eternity [v0.10.3] [RNGeusEX]

Played through the 0.9.1 build on android and devoured it in one sitting, story has some nice twists and turns and is generally above the usual porn game backstory i've seen, the art, character design and animations are fantastic.
Only critique would be that the overworld map was rather hard to open and navigate on android as for some reason tapping the screen makes a cursor show up, which usually starts in the middle of the screen making you return home and in other times starts at roughly the last position i clicked.

Overall 5/5 and highly recommend to play

The intro of the game was good, but that was it. Everything is just false sense of options.
The Good Parts:
- High Quality illustrations

The Bad Parts:
-Seems like the writer doesn't know where the story should head
-The "choices" don't have impact, the story always ended up the same no matter what the player choose:

• the funniest part I have seen in this game is when MC and Akira were tied up in Sakuya's room, player was given two choices, "Untie Akira" or "Ignore Akira", but player only allowed to choose "Untie Akira", the game just keeps yelling at player if player choose the other option. Doesn't matter if you choose to friendzone Asami or not, she's gonna end up in MC 's little harem
• The game keeps telling player what to do, do this , do that, not this , not that. Player doesn't have control in everything in this game.
• Why bother making a world map to waste player's time if every single event is just gonna be forced onto player, it's just making the player click few more times for some events that's going to happen nonetheless. The trainings serve no purpose at all. Remove the world map and the training from the game, and the story is going to play just the same.

I was looking for a game with anime-like art and came across this as a recomendation. Super beautiful animation and renders. One of the best adult games out right now. Great flowing story with believable characters and unique art style.

Decent premise with good art. But the crashing is extremely irritating. I'm not sure how other people are not experiencing this issue (maybe it's only when you skip text?) but it makes it borderline unplayable. Hopefully the dev fixes it in the next update.

I am not sure about all the negative reviews. I played through the v0.9.1 version and had no crashes. Going into the Gallery viewer was a little buggy, but reoping from the main menu fixed that.

It is a relative linear story, sort of Isekai of reliving your life and 'improving' it. Yes, some choices do not particulary give much difference in the plot (e.g. Femdom), but there are some variations left and right. With v0.9.1 the plot does not yet end and there is still quite some mystery, I am very interested how this will continue.

There are many intriguing and well rounded characters, ranging from Tsundere to Yandere and ofcourse the mandatary lovable mother ;-) hell we even got a Macho and an Ugly Bastard. The story is well paced and there is little to no grind (money has not really played a role). All the 2DCG is very well done and gives some spicy scenes, I particulary loved the Noriko scenes.
Personally, I would not mind some more teasing , NTR or Netorase, just to spice things up.

Definitely on my follow list and if updates come frequently, you have another Patreon. Thanks for this great game!

You know the saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." ?

Well I think the dev does not. :/

Changing engine for a buggier and heavier one on the OS is an interesting move that's for sure...

Quick review: Good visuals and animations, OK story, poor gameplay.

Ah and quick side tangent, this is a linear novel, not a visual novel. Choices don't really matter.

Gameplay 7/10: The game has some bugs, but nothing that affects the gameplay too much.


Art 9/10: The images speak for themselves. Beautiful milf. Beautiful art.


Animation 8/10: Animations that maintain quality from beginning to end.


Characters 9/10: Each character is unique and has good development.


Story 7/10: The game is still very incomplete, but if the developer knows how to continue the story well, it will be great.


Is it worth playing? For sure.

The game is currently (v0.9) buggy as hell, with at least one misleading route (Noriko's "femdom" route).
The presence of "NTR bait" should please neither people who want it, nor people who avoid it.
Plot is pretentious but simplistic even for a porn game.
Girls are unidimensional and boring: mum, bratty sis, childhood friend, yandere.

Easily among the best games of its kind I've ever played. I recently replayed the story following the recent engine switch, and it was yet again a great experience. The new update felt a lot smoother and, all around, more polished.

The story was captivating, though I noticed a few minor plotholes and inconsistencies. The animations were simply perfect. They were consistently of high quality throughout the game. Although many of the characters weren't necessarily very realistic, they felt personal, and you definitely grew attached to some of them.

Overall, I really enjoyed it, and I can't wait for future updates!

The graphics of game looks pretty good even thought it feels kinda souless sometime. The music (the only one) is ok, I guess. But the optimisation... this game will never stop crashing and lagging. It's sad because I see a lot of potential but it seems like I have to fight it to find pleasure in it.

The introductory dialogue was a bit lacking, a bit too cringe but as the story progress the dialogues get better 'til it reads similarly to your average slice of life anime.

The animation is amazing and is actually something to look forward too. The scenes are not frequent so that is a plus for me because I hate instant fucking just because I finished one quest.

I like the character buildup but the Noriko Femdom route is a bit confusing because of its vanilla properties but I am sure the dev already knows that since its quite a hot topic right now.

I like the side character elements and the fact that not everyone is fuckable, Kimochi and Macumba dialogues are well-written imo so I actually prefer them to stay and interrupt for most of the time.

The Renpy to Godot change is good, but there are elements that need to be addressed such as the rollback feature that stops the bgm and animation and locks you of the choices when you accidentally chose one.

The game maintains smooth gameplay 98% of the time. I am glad my RX 580 can still keep up with this game. The crashes only happened to me six times and that was when I was using the skip feature. Not bothering me anyway because I frequently save.

Overall, this is one of the best Adult VN games I have ever played. I didn't get bored and I was pretty engaged for the whole thing. The characters are well-written despite minor inconsistency with the routes but I know the developer is passionate enough to address that. Looking forward for more. It's not perfect, but it stands as one of the best I have ever played.

Looking at the posts and reviews, there seems to be factions both hating and fanboying this game. I'm a new player who has never played this game before, idk this dev, idk anything about the past versions, idk anything about any past drama, this is my first time playing on new saves. So it cant be anymore 'unbias' as this lol.

PROS
- I like the art, interesting western anime style. The animations are the best thing about this game, very smooth and fluid. Especially the time-lapse ones. Just add some sound effects to the H scenes that don't have them already and I think it might be perfect.
- Its not one of those 2D games where its 99% grind, with extremely low sexual content. It has a good amount of lewdz, there is a moderate amount of buildup to reach them.
- The game doesn't waste your time with grind or repetition (only exception is the training with Macumba, you had to do the same thing and watch the same scene everyday. Especially annoying if you were doing multiple playthroughs like me). If you get stuck, there is indicator in the top-left that tells you what to do. Its not a hint, it literally tells you what to do. I tried not to use this unless I'm really stumped. There is even a button that shows you all the clickable objects in the room, THANK YOU, I hate sandbox games where you have to hover you cursor around every pixel on the screen trying to find the one small ass object you have to click on.


CONS
- Technical issues. I did encounter the bug where the game crashes to desktop when skipping without warning. Some of the dialogues are still in French and they have not been translated to English. I did also notice my PC fans were a bit more stressed running this game than with other VNs.
- Its uses Godot. I'll admit its implemented relatively well, the UI looks clean and fancy. But here's the problem - the existence of Renpy. There is a reason why most of the top AVN devs like Renpy, its the best. Its designed by Renpytom for VNs. Its very well optimized, very friendly to mods, easy to patch for fans, easy to code for beginners, easy to port, it can run on an ancient laptop from the early 2000s, etc. So whenever an alternative is used, people are immediately going to make the comparisons and complain. In my honest opinion, I personally do believe this game would've been better with Renpy, especially in terms of optimization and preventing bugs/crashes.
- I hate the rollback in this game. If you rollback during an animation, it wont play the animation anymore. If you try to rollback to see a prior animation, it wont play it. Rollback also (sometimes) will mute the BGM. If you pick a dialogue choice, but then rollback to pick another choice, it will be greyed out and you cant click it. Huh? Who thought this was a good idea? Literally making the game more tedious/cumbersome for no reason. And finally, sometimes it wont work at all. Times like these makes me wish the dev opted for a better engine where this QoL feature is already present and functional so he wouldn't have to spend all this time trying to tack-on and code a very basic QoL feature.
- He seems to do this thing where he adds a fetish but then kinda forget about it as time moves on. There is a Noriko femdom/maledom option, they both have their respective scenes, but they arent really followed-up on. They both end with vanilla sex with Noriko. Dialogue is even the same at late game. Yasuka corruption route is just love route 2.0. Then there is the yandere route with Sakuya. Which I really liked! But that ends when MC is rescued and Sakuya decided she no longer is a yandere anymore and she is content with being another sidehoe lol. A yandere character is never gonna go like 'lmao guess im just part of your harem now and im gonna share you with all these girls that were my enemies 2 seconds ago. oh btw sry for the whole kidnapping thing'. I feel like everything is just getting merged and 'dumbified' into this single common harem route, this could be good or bad, depending on your tastes.

I had high hopes for this game, but the recent engine switch has turned it into an unplayable mess. The game crashes literally every three minutes, making any attempt to progress an exercise in frustration.

Furthermore, the game doesn't even seem to understand its own tags. Promised content is misrepresented, leaving players confused and disappointed. It's as if the developers have no idea what kind of game they're trying to make. And no, giving consent does not equal femdom.

To top it all off, the developer's attitude has been nothing short of unprofessional. Instead of addressing these issues or engaging constructively with feedback, they dismiss complaints and turn on the players. It's disheartening to see such potential squandered by poor decisions and an unprofessional attitude. Avoid this game until they get their act together—if they ever do.

thank you RNG，for letting me know femdom=maledom asked by female
thank you RNG，for letting me know my 3070ti is not good enough to run such a great game
you change the name of the game，you change the engine of the game，
you release the bugged version just to
get rid of those who don't know how to admire your great work
Luckily I am not one of them
praise RNG
amen

If you get crashes:
1. Make sure to get 0.9.1
2. Don't use in game skip - get auto clicker of your choice, bind preferred hotkey and use that to skip. Just remember to manually turn it off because it won't stop at transitions/after choices, because...
3. ...rollback is completely fucked. Try to minimise the usage.

If you want femdom:
1. If you played previous versions - expect none. It wasn't added.
2. If it's your first time - there's few really nice good boy/bratty banter teases, for gfd enjoyers it has great content (which sadly gets worse with story progression)

I had 5 crashes in 3 mins of play time, that is on supposedly bug fixed 0.9.1 latest version. The game is inplayable clunk. The text is so slow, you can fall sleeping while a single sentence loads. Why is there no text speed setting in menu? Skip text is completely bugged, not only freezes game but it does not show what text you are skipping.

I have seen this game 3 years ago, it is sad that it is still not playable, even worse apparently the dev has been getting rich on a broken mess.

I like this game a lot, and I've been following it's development for a while and tbh I don't mind the engine switch if it makes easier for the dev, though he definitely needs to fix the bugs. Now with that out of the way with this update 0.9, not gonna lie I was expecting more of Noriko taking the lead in the you know femdom route. Now I'm not upset like some are that it's the love route since the dev said a while back that both the male and femdom are the love routes for Noriko, but still not gonna lie like I said I was kinda hoping that Noriko would be taking more a lead in the scenes, but oh well what can you do, I still enjoyed and I hope that this game continues to have a good development cause I enjoy it. So that's why it's 4/5 in my eyes

Review for 0.9 Update[ Femdom route for Noriko]:

Version is Extremely buggy, crashes during skipping, and after a short time.
Crashed dozens of times as I saved and loaded every day and event till I reached the end of Femdom Route with Noriko.

Positives:

1) Firstly the Art, 5/5 beautiful as usual

2) Sexual Writing could use major work 2/5 at best

3) Storyline is pretty good 4/5

Progression since last update is impressive as a whole.


Now, the Negatives:

1) Very Buggy

2)Progression is not shown (earlier versions had characters' icons appear to tell you if anything is to be done)

3) "Femdom" is nowhere to be seen, let me ellaborate:

The "femdom" part is just as misleading as the "maledom" part, which was Love route at best instead of Blackmail/Dominating .
Femdom route is more like Roundabout love path, never been more dissapointed with how even the supposed scenes were written and played out.

ok i just started playing this game and im already giving it a good rating, because ive only been playing for 30 minutes and am already laughing my ass off. this game is hilarious af. Macumba is such a funny character. I have a good feeling about this guy , except the things he said he would do with that bench, that scared me. also love the anime references.

One of the best games I've ever played on here. Good story, nice graphics + animations and no unnecessary grinding. I can highly recommend Goodbye Eternity! Especially for people with an incest kink
