Man, I've played both of Caribdis's games and it's hell'a good... I've been checking here for the updates... Eternum is the best 18+ VN that can be played...

I'm so impressed that I even made an edit from this game...

Any new updates about version 0.8 of the game

[THIS IS A REVIEW] TLDR: play this game, 19.3/20

Caribdis is a genius. I am not kidding. 

I recently played (and loved) Once in a Lifetime, their previous game. It was extremely intricate, with great design and near perfect writing. When i learned that they were working on another game, I thought to myself they were only developping a "simple" AVN.

The only thing is, this is not just an AVN. This is a masterclass in writing, character developpement, complete with great humour, refreshing scenes, and the scenario to go with it. The CGI was (imo) the worse thing about OiAL, but every scene in Eternum managed to impress me.

The scenario, at first, seems simple. Imagine Ready Player One if it was a good movie. Good. Put that on steroids. No kidding. You could just play this game for the lore, as it is so deep, managing to strike deep themes while staying unserious, and always keeping you on your toes. Of course, it's an AVN, so the world-building concerning the girls is kinda stereotypical (you're a boy, in school, and find yourself with a motherly figure, """"sisters"""",  a childhood female friend, and random horny girls).  But the character developpement is incredibly well-done, and Caribdis puts some nice twist on the classic formula.

This is not an AVN. This is not a game. It is a passion project, infused with Caribdis' personality, humour, character,  and always maintains the perfect pacing. On more occasions than I would like to admit, I found myself giggling, laughing out loud, nearly jumpscared, touched by some insignificant detail, or one one occasion, on the verge of tears. Some scenes really hit you in the gut, and its a feeling i had never experienced in a bgame, rarely while watching a movie.

No part of this feels rushed, nothing feels slow. Everything down to the last, minute detail, reference, even the music and sound effects feel heavily worked on. The player has time to familiarize himself with the story, the gimmicks, the world-building and, of course, the girls. You WILL find yourself attached to the MC and the girls.

Caribdis, please, for the love of god, get yourself hired in a AAA studio as a creative director and release a mainstream game. I feel like this medium (video game developpement) was made for you. I would happily spend 50$ on a game you made.

OiAL was my first AVN ever, this is one of the few i ever played, and i've loved every part of it. I am honestly thinking about doing a few more playthroughs, not even for the scenes, just for the writing.


The game is still in developpement, but for the time being, it scores an 19.3/20 on my part.

I say this with the highest regards : thank you Caribdis.

And if you haven't played the game, please, play it.

When i extract the files, i can't launch the game did i do somthnig wrong? or it have more condition to run the game? or it simply i didn't know how to properly launch the game. anyone can point this out for me

Here's an Android installation guide

Thankyou but i play this on PC, i forgot to tell

Ok, so you've fully extracted the game, then you're running Eternum.exe, and then what happens?

(+2)

Bruh i think i have no purpose in my life anymore , I am just waiting for the update since months. Its hard for me.

Dont worry man the gooning lifestyle is hard but rewarding... not really actually its just hard... something else is hard also 

(+2)(-2)

When is update???????

(+4)(-1)

WE NEED UPDATE

is there a sex scene with calypso

(-1)

not yet as far as i know but it is likely there is one in the new update. i think it should come in december but not sure.

(+1)

Sorta/Kinda

(1 edit) (+2)(-12)

Man, I'm getting sick of Calypso's "high and mighty"-act. I wish there was a "dark" route in this game. Some of these girls are annoying beyond belief especially dalia and alex with their tough girl attitude.

(+6)

Well i think its impressive that they manage to include a bit more then just one personality with a great backstory? Honestly i think that attitute is pretty cool.

(+6)

My brother, this is a case of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". I think Alex is one of the more complex characters with the shit she's going through, and the last sex scene in her apartment was absolutely top notch. I agree that Calypso has a "high and mighty" attitude about her, but that diversifies the cast, instead of everyone being cute and shy like Luna for example.

(+4)

Damn. Finally. An objectively bad opinion. I didn't know we had it in us.

(-19)

p diddy approves this game very highly

(-2)

Likely XD

(1 edit) (+3)(-1)

Holy molly, I can only double down on what others say about "came for porn, stayed for the plot". I hope it's not a spoiler, but I literally cried at the Shostakovich's waltz moment, this is one of my favourite pieces ever, and this game surprised me in so much more intricate ways than just this one (though it was the ultimate peak of all the emotional roller-coaster), have run through unlocking all the scenes, Alex's arc I believe is the best of all (and her scene is something else, the most passionate life-like moment of the entire game I feel), it's a shame it feels a bit shorter than others, or maybe I was just gulping her story in huge bites, idk. For one, I liked this character so much, that I'm going to make another walkthrough when next version comes out, dodging all others and prioritizing just her. "Harem games" they say. To the creator dude: maybe others would hate what I have to say, but this game would have been fire even if you "forgot" to add the sex parts, you have a big talent for writing stories.

I want to make a donation, but I'm really insecure about posting my main card details on this site, and patreon/subscribestar are altogether banned in my country, at least, using my bank's card, but I'll try to figure something out

i dont know how your country views paypal but its a bit more Anon then just bank details

paypal is banned too, but it accepts crypto, which I don't have either, lol
I guess I just have to try to apply for a Kazakhstan card and try smth out this way

if you havnt played their first game look it up. it is complete and of the very same quality....i just bought/downloaded it today and binged the whole game beginning to end.. and i agree the porn/sex is amazing but the plot and story and character development are TOP TIER!

me also dude, ive just came becouse the game seem to had some nice scenes and wow, the best history that a fucking guy could do

(+4)(-1)

Hey Cari, I just wanted to tell you that when I was replaying Eternum (I've played it like 20 times already) I noticed a reference of Darth Vader's line used by Thanatos when he tried to take the gem from Wagner which is "All I'm surrounded by is.. fear and dead men" and in my opinion I just think that was frickin cool and I don't know why it took me 20 times of replaying to catch the reference. And that's why Eternum is the best Avn ever I just love the story and the characters so much. Aight that's all 

(+1)

Eternum is my first AVN ever, and I think it’s ruined my enjoyment of future ones because it's just so good. You did an amazing job building these characters; all the girls are so different and unique, it’s crazy. I especially fell in love with Luna and Alex. The humor was one of the first things that hooked me, along with the number of funny references—like the Dark Souls 3 one right at the start, and then Thanatos just drops a Darth Vader speech. I had so much fun with this game, it’s unbelievable. It's a game I’d pay for, and I will do so once I’m done with it.

I can officially say that I came for the porn and stayed for the story and characters.

P.S. Chop Chop is the GOAT.

(1 edit) (+2)

I didn't know how you could top yourself after I played OIAL, but holy fucking shitballs is this incredible. 

The characters feel more real than real life 😉, the sound design fits every scene, and the adult scenes, my God did you outdo yourself! Not just the scenes themselves, but the music during the scenes fit PERFECTLY.

I already loved your style before I played this but now I. AM. FUCKING HOOKED.

I can't wait for the next update Caribdis. You make magic.

(+2)

All I can say after finishing the game is that... I must keep moving forward.

Everything was just perfect. The story is thrilling from beggining to end, the comedy is just pure gold (I actually found myself laughing out loud everytime I sat down to play) and the girls are just fantastic. Honestly, I'm a sucker for horny shit, but this game had me more invested in just developing the relationships with the characters and the world rather than wanting to get into the next cutscene. Truly, marvelous work. 

I'm so glad I got into Eternum as the next update is approaching. I can't wait.

NOOOO WHY DID IT HAVE TO STOP THERE NOOOOOOO

(-1)

i have a feeling ima regret buying the polyjuice potion

(-1)

highly unlikely, as the guide advices to do so.

(+2)

Your game is just PERFECT !

I really love the story, how everything happened, and it's not just a sex game, there is a real story behind, and that's make the game just perfect !

I'm literaly dreaming every night about what could hapen next...

I cant wait for the next update ! I just want to see more of all the girls, they're all different but they still all really cute and just fucking kind (I think I'm falling in love with Alex...)

And thanks, really, for make a game so good like this and share it freely, is really nice from you ! <3

(+3)(-1)

Same opinion bro. Dev have created a masterpiece.

(+1)

i really love the story and music more than anything, i was wondering where you got the music from? 

(+1)

i hope there will be a gallery where you can re visit scenes (unless there already is and im stupid) so far Alex my favorite love me a girl with tattoos and a tough but sweet personality 

(+2)

There is a gallery but not every spicy picture is included. Just actual scenes.

thats what i was looking for lol where can i find it?

The double heart symbol thingy on top left corner of the screen takes you there

"Thank you for creating such an amazing game! I've been playing it before months, and the last update was incredible. I check regularly for news on the next one—can’t wait to see what’s coming next!"

Note:I am from a third world country in Africa... I couldn't send a tip  (>.<)

I cant wait for the new Update!!! I felt it so hard when Nova said she Loves Visuel Novals.

This Game is Making me Go Crazy! LOVE IT!

(+1)

I'm from China and I'm sorry I can't tip

Hello, dear Caribdis. Since the interval between the two versions of the game is so long, I would like to contact you to add functions such as cloud - based upload and download storage in the game.Such as<renpy sync>

Thank you again for creating such a perfect game.

When i downloaded the android version of the game on my phone, it didn't work it says that it cant access the file. (Plz help)

Here's an installation guide

(+1)

thank ya

hey guys. i have a question: if someone plays without sex u got another ending or the same?

(1 edit)

The game doesn't have endings yet, it's still in development.

EDIT: Yeah, I guess Twisted's interpretation of the question makes more sense :P

Gonna asume you mean the ending to the latest chapter, it's fixed and happens regardless if you're on the girls paths or not.

I tried no girl path and was saddened that it didn't actually change the outcome.

do i take the amulet from the founder?

yes, why not. immortality isnt bad thing right?

depends if there is any consequences

(+1)

no known negative effects yet. But Caribdis' last game had a pair of seemingly inconsequential decisions lead to bad ends. So it's totally within the realm of possibility for it to have negative effects down the road.

(-1)

i havent played it again yet still dunno if i should take it or not lol

Consider it a flag. It is not known what result this decision will lead to. It can either save someone in the future, or lead to negative consequences.

If you have read to the end of the current version, you may have noticed how the purchased trinket helped in a certain situation. If I explain in more detail, it will turn out to be a spoiler)

Also, there we have is very low possibility that Cari himself did not come up with why he offered this to us :D

i have it saved and continued without accepting it, also have a save where i accepted it. Last game had a choice of choosing the book and having two different results....this might be something similar

(+1)

Luna and penelope MADE ME GO CRAZYYYYY~ Great AVN!!!!

Right? RIGHT??? Great game!!

(-6)

Are there any actual pregnancy scenes in this one? I LOVED Once in a Lifetime but was slightly disappointed when I didn’t really get to see any pregnant bellies

(1 edit)

Based on previous game, that seems unlikely: pregnancy is likely to happen, but separate scenes for distended bellies in the story arcs wouldn't be worth doing even if the dev is as focused on it as you are (and he almost certainly isn't) and the seething unwashed masses, of which I am one, would rise in revolt if any of the girls were made unavailable for late-game missions because of gravid waddling. In game dialogue around the first trimester and closing scenes with kids seem far more likely. Maybe pregnant Eva moving in to the house because MC's magical 100% sperm can cross the line would work, but that's about it.

yeah, makes sense. Game is still great so far, just hope for a little bit more at the end than the last game

(1 edit)

I didn't expect such a qualitative game.
I like to see how the characters, especially the MC, evolved.
The game takes quite a long time to finish (in its current state).

I give it a nice 8.5/10 for the moment, very few games of this kind come close to it.

Eternum discord link is broken, anyone have a new link that I can join? Much appreciated thanks.

Actually im just goimg to join the patreon. Anyone know if i get the wallpapers as basic rank?

The Discord link works, you just can't access it because it's age restricted. Go to the Family Center in the Discord settings, input your birthday, then try again.

The lowest support tiers don't include wallpapers; read their descriptions.

Delete this spoiler.

For real! How is this even allowed?

I took out the insult as soon as I typed it. But I am still thinking it.

I extracted the file according to every step but why is there no sound?

You mean moans? There are none. If you mean sound in general, I have no idea.

ฉากเพเนโลพีกับโนวา ไม่รู้ว่ามีใครเคยเจอบ้างนอกจากฉัน ไม่มีเสียงจริงๆ มีแต่เพลง

(1 edit)

I need some help please. In some scenes I have just a Black Screen with Dialogue... what can j do please help. I am on Android

Do you have sound?

Would you happen to have a solution for me ??

Is that a no? I know of an unfixable bug that causes this. All you can do in that case is play on a different device. Though I'm not sure, you're not giving me a lot of info.

sorry I answered already but maybe it got deleted... yes I have sounds.

Does it happen at Alex's apartment? Are you playing on Android and didn't replace the old rpa file with the new one?

(-4)

Your phone is not good enough.

(+5)

I hope you never reduce the sexual content just because of some things some people say.

The game is 10/10 but I'm a simple guy, I'm not pretentious, I like the story and the characters but the reason why I don't delete the game after finishing it is the sex scenes, I hope you never change the way you make your games. Just like you did “Once in a lifetime”.

(2 edits) (+3)(-1)

I’ve only ever played about three other games like this, and they all pale in comparison. I’m not even going to lie—I downloaded this while feeling down bad, so you can guess why I came to it. But the more I played, the less I cared about the sexual content. I ended up playing purely for the characters and their non-sexual relationships.

It got to the point where, if a scene involved a girl I really liked (mainly Luna), I’d skip the part where you take advantage of them. How is that even possible? I’ve played so many games, watched countless shows and movies, and nothing has ever made me feel this attached to a character. This game is something else.

The loneliness I feel after completing this game is no joke. It’s like there’s a void in me now. Sure, I could fix it by playing more games, but I don’t want to develop an addiction, and nothing else would compare. Don’t even get me started on how funny the game is—the humor is absolutely insane. The references, too, are spot-on. The Silent Hill reference with Luna? That was incredible, lmao.

It got to the point where, when Luna touched Annie and probably realized the MC had been with her, I felt so bad that I considered doing a run-through with no one but Luna. This game is insane, and I’ll definitely be donating to support it. I’m also eagerly waiting for future updates.

For now, though, I need to focus on myself again. I originally got this game because I was going through a big relapse in my self-improvement journey, but ironically, it ended up inspiring me to improve even more.

My Character Rankings

Based on looks:

1. Penelope

2. Luna

3. Dalia

4 (tie). Nova

4 (tie). Annie

4. Alex

5. Nancy

Based on personality, family, and who I’d actually want to end up with:

1. Luna (Her family is hilarious and cool. She’s just insane in the best way—I don’t know why I like her so much, but it’s not some weird demon-girl fetish. She’s just so cute under all that tough exterior. Honestly, I feel like a lot of people don’t appreciate her as much as they should.)

2. Dalia (Her sense of humor is amazing.)

3. Penelope

4. Nova

5. Annie

6. Alex

7. Nancy

And don’t get me wrong—Nancy is hot and all, but I’m not into older women, especially in situations like that involving family dynamics. Also don't get me wrong, I still very enjoy the sex scenes and they need to stay as frequent as they are haha. Just the story to add onto the game is perfect.

---

Thank you so much for this experience. Caribdis, this is the only game that has ever made me feel so deeply. I’ve played a lot of sad games, but this one hit differently. I’ll definitely be making a donation to support it.

10/10

I would say there will be a threesome between Luna, Annie and the MC. instead of just watching Annie and the MC having sex.


but I agree which Luna is the best

Oh hell no 😭

Thank you so much for the kind words and for donating!!!!

(+2)

started to play it yesterday,oh fuck it was so funny i couldn't stop laughing almost died

(+1)(-5)

Ill never understand anyone who feels anything from any story. I may get a chuckle or two bt i mostly feel nothing. and im only playing these games for the porn. I honestly have rarely ever developed any connection to any character. ALl i care about is getting all the ladies nude and enjoying the sight of them.

(-3)

Me too, I like the story and I laughed a lot but I give more priority to the porn, the scenes and the girls.

I connect with the characters as I like them but back to the topic, I come for the sex scenes.

That's why I don't understand those who say “the more I play the less I care about the sexual content” it's like you're telling the author that all the sex scenes he does are superfluous or that he should remove them.

(+1)

Nah the scenes are very nice, its just i dont know why but I somehow was into the character development. Maybe its because I like story games a lot too. The thing I don't get it that the game takes hours of your time to complete, and why do that to just jack off when you can just go to the hub?

We see things differently, for me to see naked female characters in a good scene is something like art, I like to appreciate the aesthetics and delight my eyes with a good scene, especially if the author is so careful.

For me it is to watch, to delight my eyes with a scene and if it makes me masturbate then my goal would be to feel pleasure, instead of just masturbating and cumming.

For me sex and nudity is more than just masturbating while watching.

But well, points of view think about it if you want.

Yeah thats fair. By the way, when I said story, I mainly meant the character development with the girls.

Haha maybe im just a lonely guy 🔥😭

do i pick heads or tails?

(2 edits)

If this is a wt (walkthrough) question then there is a basic wt among the game downloads and I've written a more detailed wt which you can find here, third download option.


SPOILERS

But if it's just this: You should pick tails, even though the consequence of this choice hasn't revealed itself yet in the current version of the game. Why tails is better is still up for speculation.

alrighty thank you :)

it always flips as head, 1 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 times, 100 times. Do you think it will always be head, or things can change and she will flip tail?

The .EXE file named eternum-32.exe is tagged by an antivirus as malware, has multiple malware parents (hacked version of this game distributed online) and contacts malicious ips (tested in a sandbox enviorment by virus total tool).

Virustotal info:

https://www.virustotal.com/graph/62cb04500df8dcec7c13526799e0326108a9b54b9cbd1ff...

EDIT:

Tested it more thoroughly, multiple files get flagged by 2 antivirus providers, usually when u get 1/2 flags its a FP, still it shouldnt get any. Run this kind of games sanboxed, in a virtual machine or in an air gapped machine. 

EDIT2:

I also sanboxed it and seems fine so most likely a False positive, still i dont recommend running on the main machine, run only 0/0 scores and sandboxed with tools like sandboxie, malware can be tricky to catch specially with signature based software.

Since Eternum is a top-shelf game, there are certainly malware infested versions of it out there, which are only very slightly modified. Could your virus software tell the original apart from the malicious one? I don't know. Even if a dev is 100% trustworthy, it's still possible that their accounts get hijacked and used to distribute malware, so a healthy sip of caution never hurts.

(+1)

Certainly, i tested his version though, the problem here is that some of the libraries, code templates or assets that he uses are also used in some malware, he should check that, i believe getting a score of 0 flags is important and even more important due to the fact that's top shelf. A score of 0 doesn't mean its safe but getting flagged while being one of the most popular its also not a good thing. As a bonus piece of intel: is extremely easy to by pass a signature based antivirus, if i take his game, add a comment in the first line writing the letter "a" the hash is complety different (signature based antivirus compare hashes with a huge database of virus hashes and if it matches then its a corrupted file). Behaviour based antiviruses are other thing but they are kinda hard to deal with (called Next gen antiviruses). Final thoughts, the file is most likely clean, but use sandboxie at least, its free and your data is very important, I personally use an air gapped old pc, air gapped means not connected to the internet.

As a solution he should publish his game hash and make sure that everyone has access to it, if u download eternum then hash it, and the hash is different than the one provided by him means the download is corrupted.

My zip file for the 0.7.5 PC version has this SHA256 hash, downloaded in April this year: ea0fa8e630dc1f368d400cc969b4169316b81eba2dadb35659b18dcd3a8366c0

Welp im not touching this game then. Then again, if u really want your pc safe, u cant connect to the internet ever which defeats the purpose.
