Shimerin rated Eternum

Shimerin rated a game 6 days ago
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android.

Wow what an experience this game is. I came in with high expectations after seeing some people mention this game very positively in another games comments, and those expectations were exceeded. 

This game seems to do everything right. The character designs are great, the character and story writing is great, the music is great, the presentation is great. I especially really enjoyed all the smaller details like the facial expressions, small and/or quick animations like head nods and arm waves, and adding effects to the subtitles. They add so much life and personality to the characters and to the game as a whole.

I think I only had two criticisms while playing Eternum. The first is that when I first started playing I didn't like that you show the MCs face. Typically in these kinds of games I prefer the MC to never show their face as it can be very detrimental to them being a self insert. But after playing Eternum for awhile and seeing how much you make use of facial expressions I ended up changing my mind. The second is that, to my knowledge, there is currently no explanation on how we end up in Hyril'ar. I hope an explanation for that is coming so I can wipe this criticism as well.

Lastly I just wanted to mention my two favorite moments from the story, both of which I love for the emotions they made me feel with no words being spoken. The first is when you're on the trip with Luna to visit her uncle and you stop at a gas station, then you have the moment where the MC is suddenly confused by something, the eerie music starts playing, and then you turn to see an exit portal in the distance. Now that's horror, fitting for a trip with Luna. The second moment is when Calypso kisses you and you get a heartbeat. I remember thinking "Did I just hear a heartbeat? Calypso has never given a heartbeat before, that's a main girl thing. *clicks the heart menu* ...oh ...my ...god". It was that moment that made Eternum my #1 favorite AVN.

Anyway, Eternum is amazing and I very much look forward to it being finished. I hope all goes well for you and the rest of the development of Eternum.
