Hey Caribdis, absolutely love the game you've made! I was wondering how do you make your environments? I'm currently trying to make my first game thanks to playing both your games and got inspired to try my own. Also do you mix softwares up? Like use daz, blender and hs2 or strictly hs2?
Thanks for the reply! Means alot the last scene was spectacular so pretty shocked it was all done in hs2. And the story is absolutely engaging. I honestly hope to create great games like you do. There are few artist out there that can create truly wonderful games like these!
Found this game on a porn games telegram channel, tought why is the name "Eternum"? And DAMN this is already good and im only on the space oddesy mission, so like only the star and damn im coming for the plot atp, i wanna know how it ends so I'll come back here when finish the game and write my opinio again, se yall and thanks again for this game
This game is one of the biggest yet most welcoming surprises ever. Never expected to actually be so hooked on the story and the characters and replaying it just to see more. Cant wait for the next update.

In fact, when I first came into contact with Eternity, I didn’t even know about PayPal. After that I opened the vpn and downloaded PayPal. But I can't register. I don't have a bank card yet, and PayPal may not be widely used in my country. The first time I played it was a pirated version on telegram. Later I thought of buying the genuine version, but ended up not being able to buy it. . . . . I don’t know how to fill in the zip code on the PayPal registration page, and I don’t have a bank card yet so I can’t pay. I can't understand a lot of English. Good luck to you then. I will definitely buy eternity for you as soon as I find PayPal or other payment methods that can be used in my country.
I was living a bad life, and in a very bad and depressed moment, I discovered the Eternum. And after playing it, I really did. . It was very uncomfortable because I was so happy. I was hopeless in life, but at the lowest point I found a ray of light that I cherished the most. Ridiculous. It's really ridiculous that this beam of light is a porn game. But it doesn't matter to me because it's a porn game, I love this game. Really love it. I'm really sad and tired. Maybe I've known about losing a long time ago, but if I really lose, why should I be given these things? Can't you just let me die?
Hey buddy, you okay? Maybe it's just random rant on internet, but if not and you are in a dark place and you have nobody else to talk to, I will listen/we can talk.
Thank you for your concern, my friend. I just have no hope in life, but I like this game very much. I feel terrible. I'm not good at expressing myself. Thank you very much for your reply.Thank you
don't stress yourself much and on this game being a porn game its not ocward or anything you can get morals and a new way to see life in everything you just have to look into everything you do
I'm just useless. Then when I first came into contact with this type of game, I thought many of them were just for sex and ignored the plot. But when I played Eternity I discovered I was wrong. Eternity is really great. It's the first time I've played such a large-scale visual game, and it's such a top-notch game. I don't know if I can play anything else. And why I have such a big feeling is because I didn't expect this game to be so good. The sense of gap made me feel that I was living a strange life. And then I am very different. Just sad. I don't care because it's a porn game. Because I always feel that this game is a light in my heart. Even if it's a porn game.
it is more than a porn game, it is like a book, in fact. like harry potter with spicy scenes. Dont see it as a porn game with good story, see it as a good story with some porn! And btw ur everything else than useless, im sure of it!
yes th mc know about the characters in eturnum being a real people what that person means the the mc doesnt know what eturnum really is as a whole . is it really a game or what is really it ?
It took me a week to binge this game, I loved the story and the characters so much. I then went back and binged Once in a Lifetime in even less time, I was concerned it wouldn't be as good as it was older but found myself just as gripped and in love with all the characters. Easily the best stories I've played in games in a long time, eagerly waiting for more. Amazing pair of games.
Ignore Joshthedemon or, Just the dumbass as I call them. All they do is pull whinny lil illiterate hissy fits and call people “fat fucks” “fat boy” and berate fans and Devs on multiple threads, tell people to fuck their dad or get raped by their dad’s friends as well as threaten your family… sounds like projection to me, but it’s all there in their comment history for you all to see and report so I clown tf outta them and report it all as well as let each thread they fucked around on find out exactly what they are like. Fuck around find out, dumbass
Looks like someone didn’t actually read past them to find out why and just assumed or you’d know why I commented everywhere they did… calling them out, hence posting everywhere they did
They basically threatened my family so I’m hitting them every way, eventually with enough reports they’ll get banned (same with any alts) and eventually move on to harass the sun for shining in their eyes or something
I did not expect horror. I was not disappointed by the horror. I did not expect comedy. I was not disappointed by the comedy.
both were very nice and very enjoyable. I can tell the people making this are having a lot of fun making it and that's more important to me than any of the content(which was also nice). Thank you for making a nice game.
one question. why the fuck when i try to download it from mega i run into non stop errors and i cant even start it because of more errors when i finally get it downloaded?
speaking of having a limit. how's your convos with 6paladin going? I mean the one who doesn't even know what paladins do and the one who just sits at home commenting on basically the same game borderline stalking the creators.
i didnt do shit with the convo sec he started it and you literaly said nothing to him about stopping. its fucked up how people never say shit to the person causing the problem.
PC: Just download and run the new version, your saves should be there. Android: Update/install the new version with the old version still installed, that should preserve your saves. Keep in mind that the high-res version has special install instructions. There have been reports that saves from 0.5 don't always work on 0.6. If that happens to you, look at the comments below for suggestions what you can do.
This game is truly a masterpiece! I must say Eternum is a great work of art and thought-provoking philosophical story. I want to tell you something that I had a dream recently, in it I met with Neo. He wanted to ask you a favor: please don’t let Zireael die, or it will break his heart and the Oracle’s……and of course Gwynnbleid’s heart. Truly the Architect is very powerful, but he was confident that the royal lineage of elder blood could defeat him and White Frost. Please give Zireael one happy ending at least.
At last, I wanna say good luck to you all. And remember there are thousands of Aen Seidhe across the great sea who are amazed by your great achievement. Though many of us may not have portals to reach you, we will still support you till Tedd Deireadh and beyond.
Ps. I bet 100 bucks with Avallac'h that you are a player of StarCraft II, especially the Wings of Liberty. Can you confirm that I win it?
How sad......TOT. That's fine, I think he will donate that 100 bucks to your Patreon anyway.
By the way, I've written a 39 pages essay to discuss the Easter eggs related to the witcher 3, the Matirx and the Ready Player One and many other hidden hints such as Anima, Psyche , Convergence, eternal recurrence, elder blood etc. and I can still find more!! I really hope you could turn Eternum into a science fiction someday, it must be a true masterpiece. (the game already is!)
I've played and have played a good amount of these types of games, by a bunch of different devs and teams and I can honestly say this is ome of my favorites by far. The story, the characters, the music, the art, the dialogue, etc. It's all amazing and I can't wait to see more Cari's work!!!!
I download this game my cus my brain said fuck it, I really want to wait before this game is completed before playing, cus cari is the fastest VN creator. Anyway I will give my feedback when I finish the latest ver.
This game has really great music and soundtracks, i love it!!
Who was the composer for the piano music on the title screen?
Also for the in game music?
I've downloaded the full res for Android, it kept crashing at first despite following the steps correctly. However, I fixed it by naming the folder in Ixalon "game" to "game directory". It loads fine but it's just black saying at the top left "splash", "splash2" image not found. All that loads are the text and after a while "main_menu" not found is stated on the top left.
Is there any way to fix this? If not I'll just download the other one
i don't think there is a way to fix this i think you should re-download the file and extract it there you will find "read me" file follow it and it will work i did that
Hi there, just a fan saying thanks again for your amazing work and wondering if you already started working on the next update. Enjoy it and keep the good work ;)
Loved your previous game but this blows it out of the water, once again you managed to make a whole cast of amazing women to pursue. Shame the ole stabbster isn't the active president in this game or doesn't make a surprise appearance in some form. Guy made me laugh, chop-chop seems to be this games weirdo that likes to follow the MC around. 😂
So, yeah, finished it. no way im going through it again to *try* open different routes, but what i got so far was preety damn good. ( i see in screens on the side you can do the redhair, no clue how tho)
Anyway, Mr, i think you shot yourself in the foot right here, now you gotta write Eternum itself.
Caribdis is definitely my favorite VN creator, and the long awaited updates are worth it. Once In A Lifetime ended at version 1.0, I'll be so sad when Eternum ends too😂😭
Version numbers don't work like that; after 0.9 comes 0.10, then 0.11 and so on. In OIALTs case, 0.10 got indeed turned into 1.0, the full release, but that was a coincidence. We already know that there will be at least a 0.11 version at some point.
lo que éste juego necesita es un factor de re-jugabilidad, espero que tenga algo parecido en el endgame para que no sea algo que simplemente terminas y se acabó, sino que puedas seguir interactuando con los personajes una vez se termine la historia principal, se agradecería mucho.
I want to ask if anyone else on andriod has had any problems with loading? My game crashes each time I try to load in, ive tried deleting and reinstalling and that doesnt seem to work
Old saves from 0.5 not working is a common issue, unfortunately. Try other saves, maybe only some are affected. If not, you have to start over. I always recommend playing Eternum again, but you can also speed through the game really fast by making liberal use of the skip feature and enabling the "Skip unseen text" setting if you need to.
Such a great concept giving you so much freedom to explore different worlds. So immersive.
I played once and again using the walkthrough. I was impressed both times. There are a few buggy bits that could be fixed. Collectors mansion if you advance a round too soon you miss the chance to do certain things like open the poly juice and find out Gemini's age. It feels like those paths should still be available.
In general there are a lot of paths throughout the whole story that are now or never, it would be good if there were more different paths to reach the same object, second chances if you will.
A general question why are all the women white? More diversity among the Hareem would be good.
I agree with above poster that forgetting the early yoga conversation is disappointing. As is forgetting Dalia baked chocolate brownies later when choosing flavoured protein powder.
All the above is intended genuine feedback to help improve an already fantastic game.
The coin toss irritates me. I call heads while the walk through says tails which seems niave. Based on coin toss results alone if there are 99 heads and no other results then there is no evidence that tails is ever possible. (More likely the coin has 2 heads and no tail.) Maybe the point is that in the alternative reality normal rules of mathematics and scientific method do not apply (but in lots of other cases they seem to.) Anyway just my little rant. It doesn't take away from the game and maybe will explain itself later but it annoyed me.
I also want to grab Regina by the hair in the locker room and take her roughly before she has time to do anything else. Lol.
Anyway love the game. Great work. I can't wait to see where it goes next.
To comment on your "now or never" critique, I found that to be annoying too, at first. The game pretty much carves out most of a girl's content if you lose her path. But the big advantage of this design approach is that the "one true path" - the one suggested by the walkthrough - contains everything you'll want to see. Eternum's story is fairly linear, which means that most development time gets used to expand the "one true path" in length instead of making it wider through branching narratives. And I'd prefer a single epic story over a choose-your-own-adventure style one.
Btw, would you mind telling me which paths you lost during your first play of Eternum? I want to get an idea of how difficult the game is.
SPOILERS As for the coin toss... I don't think this is about the scientific method or probability at all. This is a mindset. Defy the pattern. Break the chain.
I get that on the coin toss and it doesn't break the game just irks me personally. The question wasn't about influencing the result it was about predicting it and it is very predictable.

It's all done with hs2 :)

Thank you for playing!
嗨，我非常喜欢这个游戏。但我有一个问题，我很好奇0.6最后那个人说主角傻，什么都不懂是什么意思？主角不是已经意识到，永恒里的NPC可能就是真正的人类吗？那他为什么说男主傻呢？0.5的结局我感觉有些深思熟虑，也很后怕，但是0.6的结局相比0.5就有点尴尬了。当然，除非这个人真的知道玩家和主角都不知道或猜不到的东西。不然0.6的结局真的很傻

I'm having trouble with the download file it's not downloading the game so I'm currently downloading the zip file as I write this
Why does the story have me so hooked? I love the impact of your choices even if they are not readily apparent. Looking forward to the next update.
Glad you liked it!
Character crossovers are lit🔥
I never really care or bother to comment but damn I'm having withdrawals, I'm left on the edge..I neeed to know what happens next!! (T O T)

one question. why the fuck when i try to download it from mega i run into non stop errors and i cant even start it because of more errors when i finally get it downloaded?
Because MEGA... if you use the google drive link it'll probably download without any issues.
Nah I use mega I don't have any problem. I downloaded hundreds of files there

i dislike mega because there's a limit to how much stuff you can download then you have to wait awhile.

speaking of having a limit. how's your convos with 6paladin going? I mean the one who doesn't even know what paladins do and the one who just sits at home commenting on basically the same game borderline stalking the creators.

I bet you're uglier tho

I just finished the 0.5 version and I want to play the 0.6 but without to play at beginning. How I can do this?
Also this game is perfect, got me in story and is 1000/10
PC: Just download and run the new version, your saves should be there. Android: Update/install the new version with the old version still installed, that should preserve your saves. Keep in mind that the high-res version has special install instructions.

Well sadly now my save doesn't load and appear an error, maybe I will wait some time when the game has more story and I will play it again
Hello Caribdis,
This game is truly a masterpiece! I must say Eternum is a great work of art and thought-provoking philosophical story. I want to tell you something that I had a dream recently, in it I met with Neo. He wanted to ask you a favor: please don’t let Zireael die, or it will break his heart and the Oracle’s……and of course Gwynnbleid’s heart. Truly the Architect is very powerful, but he was confident that the royal lineage of elder blood could defeat him and White Frost. Please give Zireael one happy ending at least.
At last, I wanna say good luck to you all. And remember there are thousands of Aen Seidhe across the great sea who are amazed by your great achievement. Though many of us may not have portals to reach you, we will still support you till Tedd Deireadh and beyond.
Ps. I bet 100 bucks with Avallac'h that you are a player of StarCraft II, especially the Wings of Liberty. Can you confirm that I win it?
You'd lost that bet, unfortunately haha
I've never played it, sorry! 😆
How sad......TOT. That's fine, I think he will donate that 100 bucks to your Patreon anyway.
By the way, I've written a 39 pages essay to discuss the Easter eggs related to the witcher 3, the Matirx and the Ready Player One and many other hidden hints such as Anima, Psyche , Convergence, eternal recurrence, elder blood etc. and I can still find more!! I really hope you could turn Eternum into a science fiction someday, it must be a true masterpiece. (the game already is!)
Love you guys!
Oh wow, that would be very appreciated! Thank you so much guys <3
I've played and have played a good amount of these types of games, by a bunch of different devs and teams and I can honestly say this is ome of my favorites by far. The story, the characters, the music, the art, the dialogue, etc. It's all amazing and I can't wait to see more Cari's work!!!!

i played this game acouple months ago do i just havw to download it again to update it?
Yes you would have to download it again
this game is extremely well made, but it's only missing one thing. anal. and i think others might agree with me.
Your relationships get more intimate/kinky as the story progresses. I'm sure you'll get what you're looking for in a later update.
Correct!
Can the lovely community help me?
I've downloaded the full res for Android, it kept crashing at first despite following the steps correctly. However, I fixed it by naming the folder in Ixalon "game" to "game directory".

Hi there, just a fan saying thanks again for your amazing work and wondering if you already started working on the next update. Enjoy it and keep the good work ;)
Yep, I'm working on it!
Getting some errors about missing files on Android can't get to the loading screen at the beginning without it saying it couldn't find something
Nevermind followed wrong instructions
how to transfer the saves to updated game (Also Nova best girl)(nevermind its chang)
Can anyone help me cuz after i download 0.6 on my phone i cant install it, when i try to install it, it just says app not installed
Not enough space on the phone (its my guess)
did you extract the file properly there is instructions you should follow
Loved your previous game but this blows it out of the water, once again you managed to make a whole cast of amazing women to pursue. Shame the ole stabbster isn't the active president in this game or doesn't make a surprise appearance in some form. Guy made me laugh, chop-chop seems to be this games weirdo that likes to follow the MC around. 😂
there are some Reference too him n u find out what school he went too
Oh so there are more references to him near the the end of .60? Only reference I caught was the initial one in the beginning looll
So, yeah, finished it. no way im going through it again to *try* open different routes, but what i got so far was preety damn good. ( i see in screens on the side you can do the redhair, no clue how tho)
Anyway, Mr, i think you shot yourself in the foot right here, now you gotta write Eternum itself.
you have to follow her route so you'll have to replay it, there is a walkthrough if you dont want to waste time that gives you all of them in one run.
how do i report this game
how do i report to your parents you grew up being a disappointment? oh wait they already know that nvm
Skittle, you must be a Donald trump supporter huh?
no
thank you for mentioning these details I always felt there is something with the timeline but I didn't know what is it
I'll check out the timeline, thank you so much for your comment!
Glad you liked it! <3
Caribdis is definitely my favorite VN creator, and the long awaited updates are worth it. Once In A Lifetime ended at version 1.0, I'll be so sad when Eternum ends too😂😭

Oh wait you're right about that lmao, because some games have gone up to 0.23. Smh I feel dumb lol. Thanks for the reminder

If you use the full res version, did you follow the instructions that came with the game? If that's not the issue, do you get any error messages?
It doesnt work for me as well, I tried re-loading an old save it I got hit with a:
While running game code:
File "renpy/common/00action_file.rpy", line 479, in __call__
Exception: Couldn't find a place to stop rolling back. Perhaps the script changed in an incompatible way?

Based on coin toss results alone if there are 99 heads and no other results then there is no evidence that tails is ever possible. (More likely the coin has 2 heads and no tail.) Maybe the point is that in the alternative reality normal rules of mathematics and scientific method do not apply (but in lots of other cases they seem to.) Anyway just my little rant. It doesn't take away from the game and maybe will explain itself later but it annoyed me.
I also want to grab Regina by the hair in the locker room and take her roughly before she has time to do anything else. Lol.
Anyway love the game. Great work. I can't wait to see where it goes next.
To comment on your "now or never" critique, I found that to be annoying too, at first. The game pretty much carves out most of a girl's content if you lose her path. But the big advantage of this design approach is that the "one true path" - the one suggested by the walkthrough - contains everything you'll want to see. Eternum's story is fairly linear, which means that most development time gets used to expand the "one true path" in length instead of making it wider through branching narratives. And I'd prefer a single epic story over a choose-your-own-adventure style one.
Btw, would you mind telling me which paths you lost during your first play of Eternum? I want to get an idea of how difficult the game is.

As for the coin toss... I don't think this is about the scientific method or probability at all. This is a mindset. Defy the pattern. Break the chain.
I lost Luna, Nova & Dalia on my first play.
I get that on the coin toss and it doesn't break the game just irks me personally. The question wasn't about influencing the result it was about predicting it and it is very predictable.
Anyone know how many hours of content are in the game currently
I like to play slow and I'd estimate... 25 hours without breaks? Not sure, I'd like to hear other estimates too.
