I'm just finishing up with this game. Let me say that I have enjoyed it a ton. A lot of work has gone into the modeling and storytelling that is much more sensible than any other NSFW game I've played. I do have some criticisms that I hope some will be thought over.
There were a few lines there that just made me think, "Yeah, a dude wrote this." I'm not going to pretend like I know how to talk to women well, but some of the lines felt tactless and typical of a porn-like logic. For example, I don't hear women often talk like Maat was. But as a guy, I can see the reasoning or appeal so I can go along with them. But some of the more egregious examples of the sort of male-like objectification are giving the main character such a large dick, Michela being so large and veinous, making a note that her or her mom is unattractive, patting Nova on the head, saying someone's ass might not be the biggest when it was objectively large, and Nancy looking the same age as her daughters. Ordinary women are very attractive too, and women who look like the game models aren't going to be so oblivious to social connection. And the main character did the whole, "Oh are you sure... oh god, you're so beautiful, [character name]" a little too much. Oh, I'm also passing the part where the main character food shames Dalia? I see the point of it, but still, the dialogue could be better there. Actually the whole gym scene was kind of odd.
Also, sometimes I couldn't go back past a certain scene. And I would get this "An exception has occured" error when clicking on the hearts. I think there should be some sort of checkpoint system alongside a save option.
All in all, I enjoyed the game very much and I'll download and play the other Caribdis game as well. It's just something to think about to have more people look over and consult to formulate the best dialogue and actions possible.
Although the game never tried to be super realistic with the kinds of things you mentioned, those are more than fair opinions. I’ll keep it in mind.
Thanks for the feedback!
I’ll try to fix that in the next version, sorry about it
(I assume you tried to download the first Android version and your phone couldn’t open it, right? This bug doesn’t happen there)
Holy fucking shit! I just finished 0.4 and the cliffhanger left me itching for more! Can't wait for the next update. Love the way the story is progressing and the direction its taken. Theres far more than just sex scenes. You actually fall in love with each character and are left wondering what will happen in both versions of their lives. Keep up the excellent work.
OMFG WHAT AN INCREDIBLE GAME!!!!!!!! The characters are hot but DAMN is the story so fucking good.... I can't wait for more! Congratulations Caribdis for making this awesome game. I literally cannot wait for 0.5 and whatever comes next!(and whatever you make in the futur)
(also... did anyone else notice the "Heads? Or Tails?" in the credits after the game...? What does it mean...? [I pick heads btw :) ])
This is one of the best stories i have ever experienced. I can't wait for the next update and seeing how everything will play out. I loved OIAL, but in my opinion Eternum is better. It's such a cool concept and you have written the story really well. i look forward to seeing your future work. Great job Caribdis
I just finished 0.4 Oh man this game keeps getting better and better. Love the music selection, I'm hooked to the song "One in a Million" and I love that scene too. This game Caribdis I feel like you keep getting better and better!
le jeu est tellement incroyable, l'histoire et la créativité du jeu sont meilleures que les autres jeux sexuels auxquels j'ai joué, je suis assez impressionné. Je continuerai à vous soutenir sur PATREON.
hell, the story is so exciting... i wish this game was less sex focused and had more romance. the whole idea of eternum is great, and implementation is also on high level! comes to mind movie "Free guy", the idea of npc becoming aware that they are npc is so cool, but the implementation was so terrible...
Well to be fair to you buddy this avn just has harem and sex scenes to justify the wird adult in front of visual novel,heck it would still be best without it,his past work Oial too was same greatest story and plot,and sex scene was just there not actual part of story,and about romance it isn't in erotic scenes but generally since erotic scenes you could just think they never happened actually and it wont change story for a sec.this dev work is about great story,with beautiful renders,amazing plot,with sense of humour, with details include of every character,it has its good no. of romance and romanceble characters, but still it doesn't leave npc behind 99.99% character in his avn will have their story arc end at the ending.
i agree with you. thats still kinda sad, e.g. if you dont have sex with character then romance arc with her is over.. well here really helps your advice about thinking the scene never happened. and i am happy that here are people who agree with me
well buddy yeah it feels sad,but meaningful if you dint pursue your love then there won't be any future with your love,you will grow apart for sure irl,it just makes sense and good,not completely wholesome but nonetheless wholesome,and sex is just a part of life, hehehe some think it's whole life that it isn't but a part of life.
@Greatchad22 - 100% true. Story is the main part why I've been hooked to Caribdis games. He is so good when it comes to story telling and char development.
You're a god, Caribdis. Played this first in 0.2, and I must say this is the best VN out there. I've played probably 50 of the adult games here on itch.io and steam, so when I say this is the best one, I mean it haha.
Once In a Lifetime was great, but Eternum? Genius. Incredible world-building, characters, and a perfect blend of humor and drama. I loved every second of it.
I'm 100% sticking with this game to the final update. 10/10.
Hi again Caribdis, I recently studied the game's code to understand the structure, I had never used Renpy, and thanks to Eternum I'm learning haha... I wonder if I could support the development with 3D models of houses, scenarios, cars or assets in general, totally free, I work with digital architecture and animations for games. Sorry my bad English
I downloaded the 2 GB android version and my home screen instantly stoped working, only started working once I uninstalled the app. I have no idea why that caused that but figured I should let you know
i just finished the recent part of the game and i had 2 scenes that i didnt get, do i have to replay to get them or did i choose the wrong option, im missing blured realities and still waters i need help unlocking them because i like 100% games
Hey @Caribdis! Such a great game, characters and storywise. Love the mix of fantasy and sci-fi. Waiting for more.
I've wanted to show my appreciation cos from time to time I do trailers for shows, games etc in my free time. I've decided to do this small tribute/teaser trailer.
I've reworked few scenes using photoshop/aftereffects to make characters move or seem to move to make it more dynamic ;)
Hey @Caribdis! You're the best as always, 0.4 is a masterwork also as always. Especially loving the soundtrack so far!! The atmosphere is so well-dictated by music, it's the perfect addition. <3
Question: Would you have any objection to my using screenshots from Eternum as pose references for some NSFW art I'm making? Happy to credit and/or pay if needed~ Thank youuuuu~!
Man! 4.0 was awesome. Ive played several of these type games but Eternum has been my favorite hands down. The story is great along with the more intimate scenes. I cant wait for the next update!
I finished the game just now, and it ended up being the second best game I've ever played, first is Dark souls. I'm translating the game, I'm already done with the first script. Is there any way to get the 3D models? I want to make some animations or mods for dark souls with "EternumKeeper" XD
I would bet this isn't normally requested but it would be interesting to have the option to choose your size. I get that the preference would be to be massive but it's also unrealistic. Went through and a majority of the lines would only require moderate modification but the overall story would remain unchanged. The story is really good and like most surprised me on how funny and engaging it is. If this does become an option alongside the question at the beginning about pregnancy content then I'd be willing to help with rewriting the lines based on size to be more believable. Can't wait for more updates, keep up the good work!
It’s a good suggestion, but it would require having several duplicates of each animation and render where it’s shown, which unfortunately is not doable
I'm not too familiar with the coding with the program you use but would it not be able to to just do a separate path, like if you lose the trivia game or if you reject going with anyone to their plans it does a whole separate set of scenes. If there's any way to make it work I'd be more then willing to provide assistance. Or even at least have separate versions maybe? Idk just throwing ideas out there, and if I can help make them a reality by putting in the work I'll be more than glad to learn.
By not doable I mean that I’d have to do all the animations and renders several times, which would double or triple both the filesize and the development time
My Bully is My Lover and Life Changing Choices both from Niichan and Fates Collide from KatanaVN are great games, with a style kinda similar to mine :)
Caribds. I love both of your games. I am greedy and I have to say I want m9re of your games. Once and a lifetime and eternium are 2 of the top five games I love to play and can't await for updates. How can I help support a great artist/game maker so I can get my fix on really great adult games like yours. ( I love the sex scenes and want more) however you have a solid narrative the leaves me wanting more unlike others who have no story and subpar sexual experiences in the story. Anyways keep up the amazing work I can't wait for more
Caribdis, I'd like to commend you for this marvelous game. The story line is well-written, the omnipresent hints towards Greek mythology are fantastic and well-researched (Calypso to be found in Ogygia, just like in the original myths). The only thing I'd wish for were a game not based on Manga/Hentai based aesthetics. Game makers could draw so much influence from European 19th century symbolism (Arnold Boecklin, Franz von Stuck, whose art was highly erotic). Focussing more on occidental art traditions instead of looking toward Japan would make your game unique, imho. But I assume I am a minority with these thoughts.
I like your ideas. However I'm a lover of all time periods not just the majority. I'd love to see some of the Aztec or Inuite cutters as well as the Persian or Indian. Idk all cultures have there beautiful heritage and legacies.
Well you could probably try treasure of nadia?Its a pretty long game and is actually one of the best out there..It is part of a trilogy where "Lust epidemic" is the first,then there is "Treasure of Nadia" And then the last one which was recently released called "Genesis Order"..As far as i know Treasure of Nadia is heavily related to Aztec and Indian legacies and stuff so definitly check it out
I think he's talking about how the game has a Japanese/manga/anime vibe or lens. I don't perceive this, to be honest. Well, maybe Nova? but still far from a typical Anime Girl. He's talking more about the style... I think...

Thank you for understanding! Great job on the games again!
How do I fix this? This appears when I clicked the girls' bio
Edit: also what's the difference between the 2gb download link and the 1gb? What changed
P.S. Loved the game btw, just finished Once in a Lifetime and it was the best, I'm looking forward for Eternum
I’ll try to fix that in the next version, sorry about it (I assume you tried to download the first Android version and your phone couldn’t open it, right? This bug doesn’t happen there)

(also... did anyone else notice the "Heads? Or Tails?" in the credits after the game...? What does it mean...? [I pick heads btw :) ])
I'm also curious about, I chose tails
Thank you!!
can i have this on an iPhone iOS 16
iOS doesn’t support renpy (nor adult) games, sorry
This is one of the best stories i have ever experienced. I can't wait for the next update and seeing how everything will play out. I loved OIAL, but in my opinion Eternum is better. It's such a cool concept and you have written the story really well. i look forward to seeing your future work. Great job Caribdis
Thank you so much! :D
THIS is the nastiest cliffhanger since Locutus of Borg.
The game gets better and better. And I love to play it again allover with evry new release.
Thank you very much!
Thank you! 😍

I just finished 0.4 Oh man this game keeps getting better and better. Love the music selection, I'm hooked to the song "One in a Million" and I love that scene too. This game Caribdis I feel like you keep getting better and better!
Thank you so much!

Awesome! 😮

Sex scenes are just a bonus.
hmm will we get to see more MC’s other form
Its time to stargaze RW Cephei!
Show post...

Some of my work this yearhttps://www.artstation.com/artwork/9N94Dq
I’ll take a look :D Thank you very much!
Cheers buddy! I've already uploaded this link here but thank you.
It means a lot that you like it :) ps. Caribdis brought us all here :)
Amazing , good job bro .
This Game is Fr a 9/10 Everything Except That Theres Like 9 Sex Scenes Is Great
A lot of sex scenes are coming, no worries 😛
Does this take place before, after, or during Once in a Lifetime?
After
Well if you played Oial then you should know that eternum is futuristic and we get hint of this in even Oial so it makes it wil be in future.
They mention Eternum in OiaL, near the end
I downloaded the 2 GB android version and my home screen instantly stoped working, only started working once I uninstalled the app. I have no idea why that caused that but figured I should let you know
i just finished the recent part of the game and i had 2 scenes that i didnt get, do i have to replay to get them or did i choose the wrong option, im missing blured realities and still waters i need help unlocking them because i like 100% games
Just download the file: WALKTHROUGH
Yep, as they told you, if you want to complete the game at 100% download the walkthrough and follow the options there
Is "Still waters" scene will be unlocked if I follow the walkthrough?
Yeah
Hey @Caribdis! Such a great game, characters and storywise. Love the mix of fantasy and sci-fi. Waiting for more.
I've wanted to show my appreciation cos from time to time I do trailers for shows, games etc in my free time. I've decided to do this small tribute/teaser trailer.
I've reworked few scenes using photoshop/aftereffects to make characters move or seem to move to make it more dynamic ;)
It is me saying thank you to you @Caribdis.
Eternum-Teaser trailer
Great Job.
Cheers
It was really good, really. Just need to watch out for spoilers
Cheers, that is why I made it short, trying to avoid spoilers.
WHOAAAA that is amazing!!! Thank you so much, Deshart! I loved it 😍
I’ll make sure to share the link to your video! (if that’s okay, ofc!)
Of course. I am really glad you like it. This is the least I can do.
For such a great games you make.
Awesome trailer it is hard mot to throw spoilers but I think you did pretty good because there's no context :P
PD: I think the rating would be rated A° for Adults but it's ok since I don't think many people know it exist :P
Cheers!- god damn You are right about the rating! facepalm... ehhh :P my bad xD
Hey @Caribdis! You're the best as always, 0.4 is a masterwork also as always. Especially loving the soundtrack so far!! The atmosphere is so well-dictated by music, it's the perfect addition. <3
Question: Would you have any objection to my using screenshots from Eternum as pose references for some NSFW art I'm making? Happy to credit and/or pay if needed~ Thank youuuuu~!
Thanks! And no problem! You obviously don’t have to pay anything, but if you do mention me it’d be awesome!
Thanks for being so cool dude, and making such great art. Of course I'll tag you with the final ^^
is there any way to transfer progress from pc to mac/android?
Hey it says for me that it got updated 10 days ago, what kind of upate was that?
I just changed the link of the android version, no new content
I just started playing and is that blood embrace from Honkai I see, already liking where this is going with a cultured dev
Man! 4.0 was awesome. Ive played several of these type games but Eternum has been my favorite hands down. The story is great along with the more intimate scenes. I cant wait for the next update!
Happy to hear that!
I finished the game just now, and it ended up being the second best game I've ever played, first is Dark souls. I'm translating the game, I'm already done with the first script. Is there any way to get the 3D models? I want to make some animations or mods for dark souls with "EternumKeeper" XD

recommend something else you play besides your game bcs i already finished it. Arigathanks
In a similar comment Caribdis recommended My Bully Is My Lover.
I followed his recommendation and loved the game, so I recommend it as well.
My Bully is My Lover and Life Changing Choices both from Niichan and Fates Collide from KatanaVN are great games, with a style kinda similar to mine :)
Thank you!! You're a lifesaver love you!.
the file isnt downloading
how do i continue the game after 0.3?
Just download the new version and play. Your saves should be there
Hello, is there any way I can help to translate the game? In my case it would be for Brazilian Portuguese.
One last question haha. You're a fan of Dark Souls aren't you? EternumKeeper on nexus hahaha lol
For sure I am ^^ And I’m not doing “Official translations” right now, but feel free to do so :D
Ty :)

I totally agree with you
You mean changing the graphic engine?
I think he's talking about how the game has a Japanese/manga/anime vibe or lens. I don't perceive this, to be honest. Well, maybe Nova? but still far from a typical Anime Girl. He's talking more about the style... I think...
Now where can I find a similar game?
You can try my first game, Once in a Lifetime
2 days has passed and i already miss luna
