NGL I enjoyed playing this visual novel also was absorbed with the story, Caribdis buddy you earned my respect fam also I will be watching out for you if you ever release any new visual novels in the future, Keep being awesome :D
I have really enjoyed this game currently. I really liked some of the subtle motion usage, like when Annie looks side to side as she's trying to dodge questions. Also some scenes were extremely hot... Like the Nova as Jinx scene. I look forward to more!
God I'm about to finish Eternum 0.5. I loved your games since my first time playing Once in a Lifetime. The art style, the story, and especially the humour all suited me. Same goes for Eternum and I can't describe how fun it is to play. As a hardware savvy myself, I even loved your "Intel Xeon Dragon X" shit! Hope you every best thing in the world and don't stop producing such good contents!
i've been following the game since 0.3 and between then and now i was also able to check out Once in a Lifetime and it was just as amazing. i love your work and every release just better and better. to top it off, and i can't believe nobody else has mentioned this yet, but that One Piece reference with that Trafalgar Law costume has earned my massive respect. seeing a reference to one of my all-time favourite shows in one of favourite games makes me happy, the culture in this game never disappoints. keep up the great work man.
Caribdis, wow. I just finished my play-through to the end of 0.5 and I'm blown away!! I absolutely love this game. The STORY and the CHARACTERS are so good! I had an absolute blast with this game and there were so many times I'd end up thinking about the story for hours after playing. This world you created is incredibly immersive and it just leaves me wanting to explore it more. There is so much opportunity for this to expand in the future. Can't wait! It's been a few days since I finished playing and I'm already missing my girls. 😂
This is a really good game not because of just the naked chicks but the elements of the story. Very well-balanced, I hope you thrive on the big platforms with this unique game and also create more unique games like this! Again, Thank you so much
Oh. My. God. FIrst of all: thank you! Really. I don't know what's going on, but both this and Once in a lifetime just made me... feel so fucking good. I just couldn't stop reading. It's like... I felt like this the last time when I was still a young teenager. I'm blown away... I love your work, I feel excited about playing the game, I love the characters, their personalities and everything. I'm not exaggerating, when I say, that the rainy city of Kredon brings the brightest sunshine into my gloomy life. You, I mean all of you, who are working on the game, are just awesome. I'd like to help in the development, but I'd hate to know anything about anything before playing the game. I'll try and support you all in other ways though. I can't wait to play 0.6. I kinda feel like a junkie, which is a bit scary TBH :D But still. Keep up the good work, I really appreciate what you are doing here and I wish you the best of everything.
Caribdis you one hell of a creator. I had to play the game from 0.1 again to 0.5 and you didn't disappoint. I like that everything this update happened in real life unlike the other patches and it's a refreshing change. From the animation (which is whole another level from previous updates), story, scenes, dialogue, it was perfect. I also love that you included a OIALT reference (ember's moan). Btw, OIALT was the first adult game I've ever played and it was hard finding another to top it. Until now tho.
I hope the next update will happen soon, and please let it happen soon. I love your games, man and always will.
And take care of your health always to continue this awesome work of yours. Again, thank you for this and I know all the people here and your supporters very much appreciate your work.
Hey Caribdis! I just want to say that you're so awesome man, whoever you are. I've played and completed Once in a Lifetime in just 1 day and I finished Eternum 0.5. To be honest, I'm so hooked up with your games, I feel the emotional connection between me and your game. The plot and story are amazing! The comedy, slight horror etc. Super amazing. These 2 are the most awesome 18+ games I've ever played! This is freaking awesome man. I love your creation a freaking masterpiece. Sorry I can't give donations for you because I'm still a student and this games saves me from a lot of life stresses that's why it means a lot to five my gratitude to you Caribdis! Looking forward to future eternum updates! Can't wait to play the next version!
Man, oh man! This game is VERY good! I started to play a few days after I finished OITL and now I can definitely say that this project is an example of improvement almost in every aspect! OITL was good (Lauren and Jasmine still <3), but the way you created characters here, the way you gave attention to little details of their behavior (I definitely can see it) - this is just marvelous! Every girl in this story feels so alive! And with this little details like animation of their eyes in certain situations... The story is intriguing and gives me the Matrix vibes all the time (wake up, Neo... follow the Nova rabbit), thou I have an idea now what will be the upcoming twist... Sad part is that I've got to wait a long time until I will be able to continue the story(( But nonetheless, looking forward to it! Thank you, Car! Really A GOOD job!
So I waited until 0.5 came out and played it thoroughly before writing this review. I'm going to compare this game directly to the previous game made by Cari Once in a Life Time and also a game I found to be surprisingly similar Lucky's Paradise. WARNING There will be spoilers for all of those games mentioned and this one ahead so don't read farther if you don't want spoilers.
So directly comparing to Once in a Life Time first, this quite a upgrade in every way shape and form. Character development, overarching story, running gags etc. The most improved thing by far is the sound design and music choices that thing is GREAT definitely a few times during the game I stopped to listen to the music or felt off put by it the only downside is a few songs are used repeatedly, (Biggest example being the Twinkle Twinkle little star song from the Original Dead Space ad which while it hit hard the first time I kinda wished there was more than 1 creepy songs for the nightmare style portions.) The only real gripe I'll have is that once again jokes hit REALLY well the first time then just don't hit as well on the second which I mean just kinda happens when you know what's coming.
Comparing this to Lucky's Paradise on the other hand I would say I enjoy the art style, sound design and pacing on this one better. BUT I would say the overall story so far, scariness factor and ability to run multiple plots at once seems to go in Lucky's favor which I know technically has a A Plot in the Elections/Mayor with Maxy and her "alter", Sasha, Layla and Liz. Then you have the side plot of the Charpenters with Charlotte and her Sister as well as Mr. Nam and then you have the plot of the Yorokoshi with Yui, the Red and Blue Dragon's and Yuki. 3 Really well put together A, B and C plots that all kinda mesh into one. I would say if you like this I would STRONGLY recommend checking out Lucky's Paradise if your fine with the less linear more choose your own story pace style of VN's.
In the end both are good but not finished yet I would probably write a final review for both when they are done but as of right now both are really good VN's I would recommend.
Can anyone help me with Dalia. During the matter on the Roman server it grays out But there is no way to decide. Did I make a mistake earlier in the game?. Wouldn't know when. I'm grateful for every hint, cool game by the way.
its hard for me to describe but the story so far is fucking phenomenal, i just finished playing this update and i did not that coming. i can see why updates take so long but man is it worth it, the amount of thought and effort put into the plot is why i keep coming back.
i cant wait to see what happens in the next update
Is it my thing or actually you can't increase Alexandra love? Every time I look at it I can see everyones loves except her's, she just appears in gray, is it because it hasn't yet been implemented or because a choice I made in the game?
When a girl is greyed, this means you failed (or willingly choose to close) her path. Alexandra is probably the toughest, as a first bad impression is enough to stop it all. You should start again trying some other options with her ;-)
Once in a Lifetime was one of the 1st VNs I ever played in my life. It was already amazing and addictive, went for NSFW and stayed for history, (I am hoping to forget, so I can play again with same emotions as the 1st time)...
But, my friends, that wasn't the best from Caribds yet. I started playing Eternum since 0.1, expecting gold already, but I am finding Pure Diamonds here. I never saw anything close to this.
It sounds silly, but I got so immersed in this history, that sometimes I get myself thinking "I wish Eternum was real, how amazing this would be." Very detailed story, very rich... the feels in the exactly places, the comedy...
And this graphics? Animations? Man, THE SOUNDTRACK!! This game is pure perfection.
Thank you so much for this Caribdis, for lending your time for this gem.
Okay, hm… Sorry to go out of tune from all those (deserved) ultra-positive reviews, but after having played the whole game from the beginning once again, I've some small critics to express.
Don't get me wrong here: I'm still hooked with the game. Well, even more hooked since the last plot twist. The story is more than good, you did a sumptuous work with the musics and sound effects, and the characters are very lovely. Really, I love it. But, there a few –just a few, especially regarding the current length of the game– things that bothers me a bit, so I thought it may be positive if I write them down there. That's almost only detail points that can be solved by tweaking a line or two, or maybe a single picture. Once again, it doesn't mean your game isn't awesome, that's more related to me being a quibbler. Hope you don't mind!
(And to any people reading this without having played the game yet: I insist that's just minor points, don't let them stop you to play, the rest of the game really worth it. And beware if you chose to read, there's a few spoilers)
So, let's go, more or less chronologically:
– Just after the first encounter, while hacking Orion's phone, Nova says he doesn't have any Instagram account. We just saw him creating one a few nights before to like Penelope's pics, on the same phone. So Nova should have noticed, isn't it? (Orion even mention that later just after the photoshoot).
– During the Red Herring quest, some of the times we were supposed to see Mrs. Flink with the camera flash (especially the very first one), as the pictures are really dark and my screen usually at its lower level of brightness, I just didn't even see her shape, so it was weird to have Orion speaking about something that wasn't possible for me to notice. (I insist again on the first one: even with more screen brightness, I had to take a screenshot and enhance its light to see there was actually a silhouette on the outside).
– After playing again the first bed scene with Annie (Really love the music at this point, BTW <3), I thought her pink pyjama would be added to her gallery, but it look it wasn't the case. Is this deliberate or did you forget? (Nancy's white pyjama and Dalia's night outfit are added just after, so it looks like Annie's one is missing –even if we still have the red one).
– Not sure about this one, but the Praetorian sniper at Ogygia says Dione is the weakest of the three weapons of Atlas. The only thing Idriel explicitely said about that is that Calypso is the most powerful, without sorting the other two, but as she presents Dione in second and the strongest in third position, I guessed Hyas was the weakest, so this line surprised me a bit. (The fact that a bullet can miss its target surprised me too, but I checked back, and the exact quote from Idriel started with “they say”, so it was hinted as a rumor even from her, good job here!)
– Just a little bit of thing, maybe unimportant, but which makes me wonder. Calypso looks bound to Orion specifically (she later says to Alex at the mansion that he's the only one able to summon her). But despite he volunteered to open the box, he didn't even had the time to touch it before it opens, and it's Alex who later breaks the final chains. Maybe there should've been something to specifically explain why he is the chosen one, like a picture of him putting a finger on the box just when the blue lights comes up. Or maybe rather let the other two be able to summon her as well?
– There's a line more explicitly incoherent with Maat: she says that the Bastet Figurine makes impossible to wake up before 50 or 55 minutes. Avery was already sleeping when Nova arrived, so when Orion find them, he almost certainly sleeps for more than five minutes. Yet, we see Orion waking up while the other two are still sleeping (not for long), so even if he slept the minimal 50 minutes, Avery should have been doing so more than 55, and thus have been disconnected. You probably should tweak the line by saying the figurine makes you sleep some (unspecified) amount of time but makes you wake up in time to avoid auto disconnection.
(– During the wizard contest, with the polyjuice potion, Orion has the same “first-time-like” reaction for Penny than for Luna, although he already saw her bare breasts at this point. Not a problem at all, as it's not like he was used to them, but I wanted to make an exhaustive report, so…)
– All the Gems of Doom shown by Idriel on the first talk with her were dark. The one found on the Red Herring was, too, despite the blue light coming from the box. So it's a bit weird that the one from Garrington has another colour, and it's even weirder that this colour is already shown on Orion's slides while preparing the heist. I think it's pretty cool for them to have several colours, but Idriel should've shown that, and Orion shouldn't have known which colour was the one Garrington had.
(– The letter delivery while preparing the heist was a bit dark, I had to brighten up a bit my screen to clearly see the symbol on the envelope. Not as much as for Mrs. Flink, by far (and this time it was of course visible the symbol was here, just it wasn't really readable), but as it was the second (and for now, last) time I had to do it, I'd better let you know.)
(– As I'm a bit of an astronomy nerd, so I have to ask: is there a specific reason while, having nine persons to name (not counting the Expendables, of course, although they could have been named “asteroids” :-°), you choose to use Ganymede instead of the way more known Uranus?)
– Astronomy nerd again: while stargazing with Alex, she says it's October 15th, and shortly after, she points out the Leo constellation just under Ursa Major, while Orion (the constellation, again) is visible on the picture, probably higher than on the horizon. Depends of course a bit on the latitude, but where I live, on mid-October, Orion doesn't start rising before midnight, and Leo, being the main spring constellation, is way closer to the sun and doesn't show up before about 4am, so neither of them should be visible at this time. And this comes just after she points out how the Eternum sky perfectly matches the real one, so…
Edit: just noticed this point also depends on the gap between legal and real time. Sorry, that was obvious -_- Don't know what would be the gap in Kredon, but the said constellations may show up one or two hours earlier. So maybe Orion would be visible close to the horizon at this point. But Leo surely isn't.
– To enter the party, Orion says he “sends” the money, which I don't think is an usual way to tell it for giving real dollars, so at the moment, as Judith said it was possible too, I guessed he payed in eternals. Which could be cool, but then I remembered that when hiring Noah and Raul at the Yoga class, they talked about giving the money to them at the next connection, which hinted it wasn't possible to do it outside the game, and thus makes strange the party hostess allows to pay later.
– I'm a bit disappointed about Orion just answering by “I don't know” when Regina starts saying that all Instagram girls including Penny are superficial and only caring about their look, as he perfectly know she at least isn't like that at all. (I at least hope there's still something to do about this yearbook.)
BTW, I also checked your Patreon page, and the post with the image showing your current progress is now really deep and thus hard to find (I don't see it pinned on the top of the page, probably because I don't have a Patreon account, or maybe I checked at the wrong place?) so it doesn't help to see how much work you still have to do 'til the next chapter.
…and, that's all! As said before, that's really a few points, regarding the size and the general awesomeness of the game. But as said before too, I'm a quibbler, so I hope it won't bother you to check them and tell me if you agree or not. And, to finish, please allow me to also add some wishes for the future releases :-)
Already said that on my previous comment, but it would be cool to see some more diversity in background and supportive characters. There's already some, but you still could add some more!
As I already said before too, I'm a huge fan of Eva and I hope we'll see her again. I think she would be the perfect optional character, the one you could totally miss while playing but that rocks the team and gives cool secondary quests if you do find her, like for instance Yuffie in FF7.
And, last but not least… please let us see how Annie is a real badass too. I mean, we saw Dalia kick butts several times (including Orion's one). We had Alex and Nova against the Praetorians, and Nova also had the quick but intense session at the party. We had Luna and even Penny during the tournament. And Nancy with all the empress stuff (the scene with the previous emperor makes me guess she took a bat at her work because it was safer than her bare hands to the Ulysses guy). I don't even mention Calypso (I especially liked the final lines on Ogygia).
But for Annie… we guessed on the first session on Ion that she has the same potential, but it was never clearly shown: there was no fight on that session, and she was mainly scared on the Red Herring quest and with the aliens on Andromeda (which isn't bad at all, let's be clear, it gives her depth). And during the heist, she had a pretty important role, but we just saw her opening the final box. So, please, the next time, let us watch her be a total badass and kick some butts too. She deserves it.
That's all for me. Keep telling Caribdis how his game is awesome, folks, you're better at this than me and he deserves it a lot too <3
I didn't add Annie's pajamas because they're almost identical to the red one, and I used Ganymede because I thought Calypso's nature was fitting. She's also... different.
Except that Ganymede is Luna's nickname, not Calypso's :-þ You named her Gaia, which was a fun choice, since that's the only non-human who has the earth's name.
Thanks for your answer and you're welcome :) I'll let you know if I find something else. Can't wait to play the next update!
Alright, it might be the obviously cheesy and honestly fucked up name I've picked on here. It might be the 8th skinny bitch this evening, but I've been playin this game whenever I got the chance for the better half of 24 hours. I'm not that far in, sort of end of second "episode", but damn, rarely have I seen something that hooked me like this. I've got official work at a ministry of "importance" in like 7 hours, yet I will be making myself at least two more skinny bitches and maybe taste some old ass whiskey, all while playing a game that honestly, is up there with "DIK" which is nothing short of an accomplishment. If you're thinking about playing this, yes, yes, just do it, get through the first 30 minutes to an hour gameplay like anything, and watch yourself get gobbled up like some degenerate, it's great, play it, now. Sincerely yours - maybe the worst picked name ever :)

God I'm about to finish Eternum 0.5. I loved your games since my first time playing Once in a Lifetime. The art style, the story, and especially the humour all suited me. Same goes for Eternum and I can't describe how fun it is to play. As a hardware savvy myself, I even loved your "Intel Xeon Dragon X" shit! Hope you every best thing in the world and don't stop producing such good contents!
And League reference. Loved that too :D
Thank you!!
Update was good but short
wow very pervy! ❤
i've been following the game since 0.3 and between then and now i was also able to check out Once in a Lifetime and it was just as amazing. i love your work and every release just better and better. to top it off, and i can't believe nobody else has mentioned this yet, but that One Piece reference with that Trafalgar Law costume has earned my massive respect. seeing a reference to one of my all-time favourite shows in one of favourite games makes me happy, the culture in this game never disappoints. keep up the great work man.

It's been a few days since I finished playing and I'm already missing my girls. 😂
Glad you liked it! thanks!
There are moments that have a certain flavor of eternity.Like this game, the moment I stay with those girls is an eternity once in a lifetime
Are you going to release another android vers ? Like the thing you do with the past versions
Cause it always force the game to close for me 😓
TIA
Im still holding strong to my belief that Thanatos is Stabby Mike after retiring from his 4 terms of presidency and nothing will convince me otherwise
If this doesn't become canon there will be riots
The discord link is expired, can you give a new one?
Damn i never thought i would spend any money on games like this but you sir deserve every penny! Thank you for taking us on this great journey. GOAT
Thank you for supporting!!

When will 0.6 come out? Any estimated time?
Hey Caribdis! I just want to say that you're so awesome man, whoever you are. I've played and completed Once in a Lifetime in just 1 day and I finished Eternum 0.5. To be honest, I'm so hooked up with your games, I feel the emotional connection between me and your game. The plot and story are amazing! The comedy, slight horror etc. Super amazing.

Thank you!
Reviewing the game and recommending it in other forums also helps :D
I played 0.1 just now and I am HOOKED. Holy shit what a great fucking story.
Thanks!
free roam?
Nope

Thank you so much, Jack!
So I waited until 0.5 came out and played it thoroughly before writing this review. I'm going to compare this game directly to the previous game made by Cari Once in a Life Time and also a game I found to be surprisingly similar Lucky's Paradise. WARNING There will be spoilers for all of those games mentioned and this one ahead so don't read farther if you don't want spoilers.

Is a harem possible in this game to?
Yes
Ooof had to hit me with the one word but thanks I was being smooth brained and forgot it was
yes.
Can anyone help me with Dalia. During the matter on the Roman server it grays out But there is no way to decide. Did I make a mistake earlier in the game?. Wouldn't know when. I'm grateful for every hint, cool game by the way.
Try using the walkthrough, it helped me a lot
its hard for me to describe but the story so far is fucking phenomenal, i just finished playing this update and i did not that coming. i can see why updates take so long but man is it worth it, the amount of thought and effort put into the plot is why i keep coming back.
i cant wait to see what happens in the next update
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man I cant get behind the hair on that MC

Oh okay, thank you!
L Rizz 😂
Dude, have you ever thought of publishing this amazing game on steam? I'd be willing to absolutely buy it.
Unfortunately I can't, I have to rely on Patreon and subscribeStar
Will "eternum" be updated to 2.0? Or update to 1.0 like "Once in a Lifetime"?
It'll have more than 10 updates
Can I ask, why? Just wondering
Show post...
these graphics are incredible!
Once in a Lifetime was one of the 1st VNs I ever played in my life. It was already amazing and addictive, went for NSFW and stayed for history, (I am hoping to forget, so I can play again with same emotions as the 1st time)...
But, my friends, that wasn't the best from Caribds yet. I started playing Eternum since 0.1, expecting gold already, but I am finding Pure Diamonds here. I never saw anything close to this.
It sounds silly, but I got so immersed in this history, that sometimes I get myself thinking "I wish Eternum was real, how amazing this would be." Very detailed story, very rich... the feels in the exactly places, the comedy...
And this graphics? Animations? Man, THE SOUNDTRACK!! This game is pure perfection.
Thank you so much for this Caribdis, for lending your time for this gem.
Thank you very much <33
Finally! The wait is over!! 0.5 is here!!! I will never ever got bored playing this kind of game!! Super duper awesome!!
Okay, hm… Sorry to go out of tune from all those (deserved) ultra-positive reviews, but after having played the whole game from the beginning once again, I've some small critics to express.
Don't get me wrong here: I'm still hooked with the game. Well, even more hooked since the last plot twist. The story is more than good, you did a sumptuous work with the musics and sound effects, and the characters are very lovely. Really, I love it. But, there a few –just a few, especially regarding the current length of the game– things that bothers me a bit, so I thought it may be positive if I write them down there. That's almost only detail points that can be solved by tweaking a line or two, or maybe a single picture. Once again, it doesn't mean your game isn't awesome, that's more related to me being a quibbler. Hope you don't mind!
(And to any people reading this without having played the game yet: I insist that's just minor points, don't let them stop you to play, the rest of the game really worth it. And beware if you chose to read, there's a few spoilers)
So, let's go, more or less chronologically:
– Just after the first encounter, while hacking Orion's phone, Nova says he doesn't have any Instagram account. We just saw him creating one a few nights before to like Penelope's pics, on the same phone. So Nova should have noticed, isn't it? (Orion even mention that later just after the photoshoot).
– During the Red Herring quest, some of the times we were supposed to see Mrs. Flink with the camera flash (especially the very first one), as the pictures are really dark and my screen usually at its lower level of brightness, I just didn't even see her shape, so it was weird to have Orion speaking about something that wasn't possible for me to notice. (I insist again on the first one: even with more screen brightness, I had to take a screenshot and enhance its light to see there was actually a silhouette on the outside).
– After playing again the first bed scene with Annie (Really love the music at this point, BTW <3), I thought her pink pyjama would be added to her gallery, but it look it wasn't the case. Is this deliberate or did you forget? (Nancy's white pyjama and Dalia's night outfit are added just after, so it looks like Annie's one is missing –even if we still have the red one).
– Not sure about this one, but the Praetorian sniper at Ogygia says Dione is the weakest of the three weapons of Atlas. The only thing Idriel explicitely said about that is that Calypso is the most powerful, without sorting the other two, but as she presents Dione in second and the strongest in third position, I guessed Hyas was the weakest, so this line surprised me a bit. (The fact that a bullet can miss its target surprised me too, but I checked back, and the exact quote from Idriel started with “they say”, so it was hinted as a rumor even from her, good job here!)
– Just a little bit of thing, maybe unimportant, but which makes me wonder. Calypso looks bound to Orion specifically (she later says to Alex at the mansion that he's the only one able to summon her). But despite he volunteered to open the box, he didn't even had the time to touch it before it opens, and it's Alex who later breaks the final chains. Maybe there should've been something to specifically explain why he is the chosen one, like a picture of him putting a finger on the box just when the blue lights comes up. Or maybe rather let the other two be able to summon her as well?
– There's a line more explicitly incoherent with Maat: she says that the Bastet Figurine makes impossible to wake up before 50 or 55 minutes. Avery was already sleeping when Nova arrived, so when Orion find them, he almost certainly sleeps for more than five minutes. Yet, we see Orion waking up while the other two are still sleeping (not for long), so even if he slept the minimal 50 minutes, Avery should have been doing so more than 55, and thus have been disconnected. You probably should tweak the line by saying the figurine makes you sleep some (unspecified) amount of time but makes you wake up in time to avoid auto disconnection.
(– During the wizard contest, with the polyjuice potion, Orion has the same “first-time-like” reaction for Penny than for Luna, although he already saw her bare breasts at this point. Not a problem at all, as it's not like he was used to them, but I wanted to make an exhaustive report, so…)
– All the Gems of Doom shown by Idriel on the first talk with her were dark. The one found on the Red Herring was, too, despite the blue light coming from the box. So it's a bit weird that the one from Garrington has another colour, and it's even weirder that this colour is already shown on Orion's slides while preparing the heist. I think it's pretty cool for them to have several colours, but Idriel should've shown that, and Orion shouldn't have known which colour was the one Garrington had.
(– The letter delivery while preparing the heist was a bit dark, I had to brighten up a bit my screen to clearly see the symbol on the envelope. Not as much as for Mrs. Flink, by far (and this time it was of course visible the symbol was here, just it wasn't really readable), but as it was the second (and for now, last) time I had to do it, I'd better let you know.)
(– As I'm a bit of an astronomy nerd, so I have to ask: is there a specific reason while, having nine persons to name (not counting the Expendables, of course, although they could have been named “asteroids” :-°), you choose to use Ganymede instead of the way more known Uranus?)
– Astronomy nerd again: while stargazing with Alex, she says it's October 15th, and shortly after, she points out the Leo constellation just under Ursa Major, while Orion (the constellation, again) is visible on the picture, probably higher than on the horizon. Depends of course a bit on the latitude, but where I live, on mid-October, Orion doesn't start rising before midnight, and Leo, being the main spring constellation, is way closer to the sun and doesn't show up before about 4am, so neither of them should be visible at this time. And this comes just after she points out how the Eternum sky perfectly matches the real one, so…
Edit: just noticed this point also depends on the gap between legal and real time. Sorry, that was obvious -_- Don't know what would be the gap in Kredon, but the said constellations may show up one or two hours earlier. So maybe Orion would be visible close to the horizon at this point. But Leo surely isn't.
– To enter the party, Orion says he “sends” the money, which I don't think is an usual way to tell it for giving real dollars, so at the moment, as Judith said it was possible too, I guessed he payed in eternals. Which could be cool, but then I remembered that when hiring Noah and Raul at the Yoga class, they talked about giving the money to them at the next connection, which hinted it wasn't possible to do it outside the game, and thus makes strange the party hostess allows to pay later.
– I'm a bit disappointed about Orion just answering by “I don't know” when Regina starts saying that all Instagram girls including Penny are superficial and only caring about their look, as he perfectly know she at least isn't like that at all. (I at least hope there's still something to do about this yearbook.)
BTW, I also checked your Patreon page, and the post with the image showing your current progress is now really deep and thus hard to find (I don't see it pinned on the top of the page, probably because I don't have a Patreon account, or maybe I checked at the wrong place?) so it doesn't help to see how much work you still have to do 'til the next chapter.
…and, that's all! As said before, that's really a few points, regarding the size and the general awesomeness of the game. But as said before too, I'm a quibbler, so I hope it won't bother you to check them and tell me if you agree or not. And, to finish, please allow me to also add some wishes for the future releases :-)
Already said that on my previous comment, but it would be cool to see some more diversity in background and supportive characters. There's already some, but you still could add some more!
As I already said before too, I'm a huge fan of Eva and I hope we'll see her again. I think she would be the perfect optional character, the one you could totally miss while playing but that rocks the team and gives cool secondary quests if you do find her, like for instance Yuffie in FF7.
And, last but not least… please let us see how Annie is a real badass too. I mean, we saw Dalia kick butts several times (including Orion's one). We had Alex and Nova against the Praetorians, and Nova also had the quick but intense session at the party. We had Luna and even Penny during the tournament. And Nancy with all the empress stuff (the scene with the previous emperor makes me guess she took a bat at her work because it was safer than her bare hands to the Ulysses guy). I don't even mention Calypso (I especially liked the final lines on Ogygia).
But for Annie… we guessed on the first session on Ion that she has the same potential, but it was never clearly shown: there was no fight on that session, and she was mainly scared on the Red Herring quest and with the aliens on Andromeda (which isn't bad at all, let's be clear, it gives her depth). And during the heist, she had a pretty important role, but we just saw her opening the final box. So, please, the next time, let us watch her be a total badass and kick some butts too. She deserves it.
That's all for me. Keep telling Caribdis how his game is awesome, folks, you're better at this than me and he deserves it a lot too <3
Those were really good point, I'll look into it!
Thank you very much!
I didn't add Annie's pajamas because they're almost identical to the red one, and I used Ganymede because I thought Calypso's nature was fitting. She's also... different.
Except that Ganymede is Luna's nickname, not Calypso's :-þ You named her Gaia, which was a fun choice, since that's the only non-human who has the earth's name.
Thanks for your answer and you're welcome :) I'll let you know if I find something else. Can't wait to play the next update!
Oh, true, I mixed them up sorry xD
Alright, it might be the obviously cheesy and honestly fucked up name I've picked on here. It might be the 8th skinny bitch this evening, but I've been playin this game whenever I got the chance for the better half of 24 hours. I'm not that far in, sort of end of second "episode", but damn, rarely have I seen something that hooked me like this. I've got official work at a ministry of "importance" in like 7 hours, yet I will be making myself at least two more skinny bitches and maybe taste some old ass whiskey, all while playing a game that honestly, is up there with "DIK" which is nothing short of an accomplishment. If you're thinking about playing this, yes, yes, just do it, get through the first 30 minutes to an hour gameplay like anything, and watch yourself get gobbled up like some degenerate, it's great, play it, now. Sincerely yours - maybe the worst picked name ever :)
Thank you <3
