The fuck are those reviews. The are so many 5 stars,like,there is no universe where this game could be rated this high. I remember the first release and it was a badly made mix of eternum and badik ripoffs. Anyone played 0.2 ?

I have a theory that a lot of people just skip the games without writing a review. As for Heliorise, it wasn't bad but there was nothing interesting to see either.

Seems like this thread became a gathering of elitist?? "Look at me guys the world revolve around me i dont understand how people like Ripples one of the most popular HS game those people must have no taste at all" LMFAO, I dont care if other dislike it but mocking people who liked the game as no taste at all?? really???

Ripples have a good story, good quality animation but the whole chemistry between characters is messed up. The whole relationship building is just skipped to the point where everyone is in love with MC. It's a noticable and heavily affects the whole game.

coming up on a year since the last update

 

[FnB Productions]

The biggest part I loved is puzzles,will you make them a bit more diffulct lately or they will stay like this? Also,do you have any plans on remaking first chapters or you want to continue the story?

So, since we are planning on adding a walkthrough mode to the game, we will be increasing the difficulty of the puzzles by quite a bit. As for remakes, there is a slight possibility of F reworking them, but ultimately our main focus is to just carry on. We understand that reworking the game can get us more views, but ultimately Eden is being done for F and I to practice how to make AVNs before we dive into more serious AVNs we have planned out.

 

[Kamaraj]

Are the games that have the same thickness as LI from the Inn and the readhead in Mythic Manor, oh and the LI's in Unlimited Pleasure (RIP)?

 

[wannaseeadeadbody?]

but mocking people who liked the game as no taste at all?? really???

if you've been called tasteless, and that's enough to make you come, then you should think about it
after all, we're all fools with our useless opinions: OP rates the project highly, which helps random people try it out

As of not in the list games,
V.I.R.T.U.E.S.

hmmmm,if you want this to be exactly adventure:
Eden
Cradle Beyond the Veil
Astreon
Isekai Paradise
They are not masterpieces,but exactly what you probably search for
I would also recommend some fantasy harems that have a bit less of adventure
Inanna Revenge
New Horizon
Desire of Fate
Once in a Lifetime

btw,now I'm wondering if there is a person who actually played all the games on the list?I'm not sure somebody besides me exists

Hi there, I am addicted

New challenge for you 2, try Isis: The Fall and see how long you last until you quit. That isn't a general recommendation.

wild cats and weeb crap sicae are in the same category?
I should became a mod just to delete this thread

edit: Companion of Darkness and Cosy cafe rated "B" xD

How dare I so

Yes, how dare you, Paddy? Cosy Cafe shouldn't be rated anything higher than C. It's even in the name!

I wouldn't call it bad, and there were definitely good parts, but I felt it was pretty average overall. It had a strange mix of the school and cooking plot and the oligarchy plot, and a big pacing issue called Lucy. To keep that short.

You know what's funny.Seeing eternum reviews I noticed a tendency.The dudes who rated it as 1-2 are either ntr/cuckold lovers or extremely pervs. The logic is simple - the game doesn't contain the scene I wanted = The game is a crap. Not to mention how hilarious it is to hear something about "generic" story from a person,who rated as 5 the game,where the main point is to get your gf banged by hobos So,that's what called not a generic story I guess

Eh, to be fair, the Eternum Lovers are not much better. Not really a thread I will visit anymore, simply because people who participate there are taking everything way too serious.

I once made a joke that I would not mind a NTR-scene for people who do really dumb decisions (like making Penny cry, because many of the Diehard Harem Fans expected a lewd scene with this one girl in University who hates Penny (Regina)... Come on, expecting a reward for losing the path to a Main LI? Who is also way more likeable AND hotter than Regina?). People did not really appreciate it, even if it was clearly a Joke (and I stand by that, if you make such obvious decisions wrong, you can get punished).
And dont forget that Chang is only allowed to have an ugly girlfriend, because diehard Harem fans would get insufferable if a significant character other than MC would get a attractive girlfriend.

So while your point has some truth, the other side of the spectrum is not really better. Would be great if both sides would be more open-minded, accept that there are different fetishes and that not every fetish does fit in every game (since there are people who want actual NTR in games like Eternum and others want a Harem route in NTR-games...)... Or ideally just play more than one genre of games and not take everything so seriously.

Oh, I mean, I can understand it if people are actually asking to add kinks or fetishes in the game which would not fit. It is a Vanilla Harem game after all, so something like NTR or stronger BDSM does not really fit.

But not being able to criticize without sometimes massive backlash is indeed a thing. I remember that I said that 0.8 was the weakest Update so far. One of the reasons was that I thought that the Alex-scene was not really fitting at this point in the story, since there was a very awesome Alex-scene in the Update before and there have been LIs who did not have sex with MC so far and bringing the same LIs too often will not really help that much. Especially if the scene in the toilet is worse than the one in her appartment (which is one of the all time best lewd scenes IMO).
But some Alex-Fanboy was REALLY upset with that. And she is even my favourite LI as well, but apparently you are not allowed to say that for once there was no 10/10 scene with her and that it pales a bit in comparison to her apartment scene.

Wish some people would have more chill.

Isn't that like 90% of reviews on this site? I swear that most 1-2 stars review can be summarize to "not enough H-scenes" or "not my kinks".
Although, the funniest reviews are always about LI not being "virgings" or how if "LI is in crappy relationship at the beggining of the game - it's NTR"



I thought I was a weird one for thinking that. I would go even further and say if was the weakest update in both Eternum and Once in a Lifetime. Not only it was boring, but also pacing in the first part was completely off. "We need to hurry to get to this island, but first let's go to the beach. Sleep time. Dream (I genuinely hated that part). Threesome. Now we can goand retrieve this treasure"
I'm not even going to comment on supposed MC "growth" and how we cares about girls now, yet teleports their real bodies to Eternum.
God, I'm pissed again

Yeah, this was something which bothered me as well. MC almost dies, realizes he has to be more careful and in the same Update he uses his own connection to go into Eternum instead of using the device, which just poses an unneccessary risk. :/

I think defensiveness, no matter how autistic, is pretty different from requesting, begging, demanding or pressuring to add content or to remove it. Pushing to remove it is prolly a bit worse than to add stuff, too, usually, but this depends on if it's about, or affects, core content or not, like you said too. And there's a ton of bait potential in that behaviour. But yeah, game topics are often settled by hoolifans... but the ones where haters dominate are imo the most toxic.

And I don't like it at all if people use reviews to push their preferences. Reviews are for the games, comics, whatever, not for the writer's kinks, and though a review is always subjective, there's still a thing like objectivity in subjectivity. I don't like Seeds of Chaos much, and that seems a relatively niche opinion among people who've played it. Still, if I'd rate it I'd probably give it 3 or 4 stars, based on the quality of the last version I played years ago, so I shouldn't review it for that reason alone. What I'm saying is that rating Eternum 1 star is pretty ungenerous and looks not very objective, because it isn't a terrible piece of crap with a spelling error and a grammar error in almost every line, a seriously incoherent plot, pacing like snail sex, and I'll stop here, unlike... something else (not Seeds). So I mean, abusing reviews to advocate for someone's own kinks seems really slimy to me.

As for 0.8, I didn't like the part on the island in The New World after the skeletons much, the plot pacing felt off to me too, though I felt the mix or "pacing" of humour against seriousness did work overall. You could say killing off so many side characters during the voyage was ott too, but it fit the theme of going to a lethal destination at the cost of burying the main cast under plot armour in the optimal run. I did like a lot of the later segments tho, and I'd likely feel worse about 0.8 if the order of the section was reverse. It's true Orion's character growth was... "slowed" when it came to protecting Nova and Dahlia, though there was optional character growth in Orion to Jerry, no doubt the favourite LI here. High intelligence and impulsiveness, low or no wisdom indeed. I don't follow Alex's path, so I can't comment on that.

i am hoping we get a cross realms and companion of darkness update in december too. there is a chance for both for sure

based,can't see why people are overexcited about it

 

[Gilber_bestram@176]

You know what is actually a crime on the list, putting Now and Then in B tier. Even if it's B, the fact that it's actually completed with a satistying outcome is enough to give it another raise to A.

I would say everyone is entitled to their opinion. If someone thinks that Eternum deserves 1star - good, but such opinion needs to take into consideration whole work, not single aspect. It also depends on reviewer experience with AVNs. If someone plays fuckfests, then of course Eternum will be the best AVN in the world.
Personally, I'm rarely using rating to form opinion before downloading the game. I'm trying to read reviews but then: people don't know how to write reviews. Unfortunatelly, it unavoidable on public forum, where only limitation on review is min 200 characters. Sometimes, when I read reviews, I really want to bash my head against the wall. I don't know why people think that because it's adult visual novel, each 5 minutes of gameplay need at at least some nudity.

based,can't see why people are overexcited about it

I see two reasons:
1) it's rather "comfy" story without too much drama. It doesn't try to be more than it is - cute story about restaurant owner forming his harem
2) it has decent D/S relation depiction, especially for people not familiar with this type of dynamic (like me), were girls (subs) are actually living beings and MC (dom) doesn't come off as borderline abusive.
I would compare Cozy Cafe to simple, home cooked meal - it's nothing outstanding, but definatelly enjoyable

 

[Padorublad3]

btw,regarding now & then,I see some 0 star reviews. Also,it seems like all the "detailed" reviews are either 1 or 2 stars at best

Horrible writing. Where to begin...

Let's start with the biggest problem I have with the game - inconsistencies in the characters, what they stand for, and their subsequent interactions. The MC has an open relationship with his adopted daughter and her best friend (and eventually her mother). A completely open one physically where anything's possible, at the discretion of his daughter (she's his main). i.e. if she says it's okay for the MC to play around with someone else from then on, he can. They totally trust each other and tell one another everything. It's their base nature.

One of the other LI's who he isn't fooling around with tells the MC that his adopted daughter gave them permission to screw around, and they end up getting busy. Turns out that that was an utter lie - the LI hadn't asked for permission, but just wanted to fuck with people, take what she wanted, and avoid any consequences.

The MC of course is a completely stand-up guy. He values honesty and truth above perhaps anything else. And when he finds out he was lied to and had his trust betrayed, he lays into the LI verbally for lying. At which point drama ensues, yadda-yadda-yadda, and his adopted daughter ends up forgiving the LI and telling the MC he can do what he wants as long as she doesn't hear about it... even tells the LI it's okay to do the MC after that.

At which point (after the MC had his daughter's best friend attacked, and he had to shoot a 13 year old who was infected, ALL IN THE SAME DAY) the LI tries to get him to have sex with her again that night (zero pause in the story) - literally trying to ignore what she did and take what she wants again.

That... is RAPE. This LI had raped both the MC and his adopted daughter's relationship AND trust, as surely as anything else. The lie, betrayal of trust (and the goodwill the MC and his crew had shown the LI) was literally just disgusting. And she's trying to do it again, after the fact?

Why in the hell would the MC even want to go near this LI again after what she'd done? He's allowed to turn her down of course, at which point they agree to be "friends".

I mean seriously, WHAT THE FUCK?

No amount of apologizing in a 24 hour period would even get me to look at that LI again, much less agree to give her what she wants (another good dicking), much less be FRIENDS. That is NOT HOW THE MC WAS WRITTEN AS A CHARACTER.

And to top this all off, I have to take the disgusting route of accepting her bang request to keep her as a LI throughout the game, instead of what should have happened - she should have been ostracized by the group for literally weeks first, until she'd been thoroughly chastized and had tried multiple times to make amends. THEN perhaps the sex route with her could have opened up again.

And the worst part - the rapist LI was one of the best looking girls in the game, and now she's either off the table, or she's the most disgusting choice to make - totally betraying the inner nature of the MC.

I won't bother to go into other parts of the game at this point - it has other issues that stand out (animations, some truly dumb fucking humans in the core group, etc). Even though many of the LIs are attractive, and have interesting stories, this one just totally turned me off from the game. It has to be some of the worst writing I've seen for how people stay true to their nature and act accordingly.

I really don't even have the interest to keep playing after seeing this level of departure from what should have happened. It wasn't good writing. It wasn't how people would have actually played that out. And it makes one of the best looking LIs in the game a poor choice.

People on Reddit appear to love this particular LI, which I find unbelievable. I think she's a lying, distrustful, betraying rapist of a woman, and deserved to be taken down several notches by the core group in the game, not just given a clear pass to get busy again.

So yeah, the game just took a total departure from any sense of believability, and totally turned me off from it.

and

Wow, this is a massive bait and switch.

The renders / graphics / animations are overall excellent. Most of the LIs are fit and attractive. There are occasional typos and issues with the script that seem a bit odd considering it's marked 'complete' but they are not too common. But there is a really creepy agenda being pushed under the surface here, and it disturbs me way more than games I have seen on here with arguably much darker themes.

The beginning of the game is quite well done, the story starts out excellent and pulls you right in. You will be hanging on every word... at first. Early on there is a scene where the MC chooses not to assist a person in trouble, and it really sets the tone that this is a fucked up post-apocalyptic world.

Unfortunately, everything starts to change for the worse shortly after. It becomes apparent very quickly that the real goal of this "game" is to serve the player a heaping pile of contradictory woke / liberal propaganda. The authors go to great pains to work the word 'binary' into the dialogue several times in a really contrived manner, in an attempt to reprogram the player's mind to accept that binary = bad. By the 3rd or 4th time they found another awkward way to stuff "binary" into a sentence, I found myself rolling my eyes.

There is a lot of sanctimonious pushing of liberal feminist ideology, like the MC constantly droning on about how he can't be pushing "puritanical" views on a teenage girl (puritanical is another word they excessively inject into the dialogue like 500x.) This is wild when you get further in the game and the narrator goes to great pains to convince you that somehow, a dude in his 30s fucking his adopted teenage daughter and blowing loads down her throat is somehow taking the moral high road. Apparently, telling a teenage girl not to wear extremely revealing clothes to school is bad, but her legal guardian fucking her is somehow OK. ...Did they forget they started out by heavily advocating for women's rights and autonomy? The hypocrisy is staggering.

Even though Carol "wants to" have a relationship with the MC, it is still wrong because of the massive inequality in the power dynamic. This is a much older male, preying on a vulnerable girl, who has severe abandonment issues from the trauma of being bounced around the foster care system for over a decade before she met the MC.

Catering to a particular kink or taboo subject is not inherently bad. There are plenty of adult games that involve things reasonable people would never do in real life - like corruption, blackmail, even rape. However, other games I have seen that deal with those topics do so in a way that makes it quite clear the MC is doing something bad. What deeply disturbs me about this game is the fact that the dialogue and story goes to great pains to try to convince the player that in fact society is wrong for considering it "bad" for a LEGAL GUARDIAN to take advantage of his freaking adopted daughter. It is really creepy how they actually try to spin this into a positive thing. The dialogue and story text that deals with this just repeatedly keeps trying to make the case that there is no logical reason why they cannot enter into a sexual relationship, and that it's just society being outdated and "conservative."

The dialogue when they start getting intimate is terrible and cringey, and implausible to say the least. It includes gems like the MC asking if he has her permission to kiss her, after he already got her wasted, came in her mouth, and fingered her the night before.

If you just click your way through the game, the renders and animations are top notch. However, if you actually stop to pay attention to the text beware - after the intro it just completely tanks in quality and repeatedly tries to brainwash you.
