I don't think Eternum or Ripples "exists" in Pale Carnations or the other way around, they just references, cameos or friendly nods to fellow devs.
I've seen a few other games reference each other somtimes. Chasing Sunsets references Eternum for instance. Even has a few screenshots or approximations of them from the actual game.

Didn't know about the Eternum Reference in Chasing Sunsets, but Jaye appears on Leap of Faith, and the MC of that game appears too on chasing sunsets maybe? not sure about this one.
And yeah for me those are references or friendly nods to other games/devs, isn't like they on the same universe or something

Well, if are discussing "ET" handshoes now, it seems pretty clear that we need some storyline "goodies" to talk about. Like some hints about what can happen in the next update. Currently the previews we have so far are relatively cryptic or obscure. :) What we can guess close to knowing is that this "game weekend" is harsh. Felicia was already hit hard and the pic of our hero and Rosi in the lift cabin says enough that whatever happened to her was also really hard.
I get the impression there isn't going to be a lot of story in the next update, at least not the way we're used to. We got the bulk of the story already, now we're going to focus on the mechanisms of Kathleen's circus. So expect lots of lewd spectacle and tight character focus to see how the players respond. I do think there will likely be some significant dramatic beats towards the end of the evening, but a) TD might not want to spoil them in previews, and b) none of them have been created yet.

Of course, this is complete speculation on my part. We'll just have to see what shakes out.

Yeah I'm not sure there is an eternum reference in chasing sunset, but maybe just a mention. However there are crossovers with seeing actual characters between chasing sunset, summer scent, leap of faith and artemis (all games in DAZ contrary to eternum in HS2). But just little scenes as friendly nods as you said.

idk if you ask me given how the last update ended we could potentially see a lot of drama this update
everyone was waiting for the ball to finally drop and it did and we finally see how crazy kathleen is
unlike previous games where MC was pretty concerned with helping the girls during the games given his situation with vicky and grace
I don't think he would be too focused on what's going on , ian too would be a bit distracted
this means the girls might not have much help from their "friendly" helpers this time
and they probably will have to fight eachother for real this time

even if both ian and MC get benched by kathleen during the games to prevent them from helping the girls during the games
they could still talk with some of the patrons during the games and gather some information

all of this is before of the night ends
who knows how the story goes after that

so yeah i think we might get to make few important story decisions this update too
