VN Ren'Py Eternum [v0.8.5 Public] [Caribdis]

[Finuee]

Hi again Finuee,
I think so too, but I'm not in a hurry yet. 0.8 is just around the corner I can wait a ~month, no issue.
Eternum is still too fresh in my mind not to mix the two games, I'll wait around the release of the 0.9 to do so I think.

In addition of the "respect for the characters" and the "non cringey" stuff, I really liked the art direction of the game, many people told me to try other 3D games of this type but the chara-design and renders are to plasticky/trashy from my taste. I've only played 2D before Eternum because it give more room for the art direction to shine.

Also is OiaL a incest-focus game? Because it's something really taboo from where I'm from I really struggle to surrender to a game if it's an important part of the narrative.

Have a pleasant day.

I also prefer 2D games, but they're in the vast minority.

As for incest in OiaL, the MC is not a blood relative of the two main LIs, who are sisters, but has been living with their family for a while. He's not a step-brother, but is a very close family friend. So there's no direct incest when it comes to the MC and them. It's similar to Eternum with Dalia and Penny, only closer. There's a patch that makes them brother and sisters, but I don't recommend using it, as it makes the suspension of disbelieve hard to mantain.

The game is a harem game, like this one, so if you don't lose any paths the MC eventually he gets to be with all his LIs and there is one scene with a threesome between the MC and the two sisters.

Eagerly awaiting the renders of Jerry.

Hi I'm playing the game again and I wanted to know if it's normal that you can only use the slot machine once in the casino, in my memories you could use it more times and play with the saves to get more money.

It's normal, it's not that we know how much credits we need in the future. I always earn some.

Yeah...I remember save scumming getting very lucky at the slot machine and push the money to...1200 or so, I think.

Haven't played that part in a while, so I'm not sure if that was changed at any point.

There was a max I believe. But it used to take maybe 5 or 8 wins to reach it.

Yes, that's right, I launched it once, got the 3 BARs and then nothing...



I already feel like my money's being stolen on this game, but if I don't earn much in a place where I should be earning more.... I'll never get good equipment.

You had your shot at the Shovel of Destiny and you passed it up.

 

[PerssonTM]

If I remember correctly, you eather lose too much and it forces you out, or you win the jackpot and you can't play more.
It might be tweaked now though, not sure.

Ideally (or at least if you've been following the walkthrough) you should be entering the slots with about 1453 eternals. Now the actual slot machine "cap" before Orion stops playing is around 1900 eternals. However you can push that to 2033 eternals (the highest you can get) by reaching 1893 eternals (the trick being that you need to savescum the jackpot 3 times then aim for a 3-bar win) before hitting the final jackpot win (otherwise you only get 2013 eternals if you go for jackpot-only wins).

Someone posted a really great lore recap on reddit, I think it's worth sharing it here as well :

The Syndicate - We first are introduced to the Syndicate in the Red Herring, when a member tells Orion, Luna, and Annie where to go and lift the curse that leads to them acquiring a Gem of Doom. The Syndicate also gives Orion a letter before the heist mission, which he is told not to open, but that he needed to receive it now because they had tried before. If you do open the letter, it reads "askion kataskion lix tetrax damnameneus aision," which are Greek magical words that proteect those who speak them, (look at the wikipedia page for the Ephesia Grammata for more info). We know from Mr. Mos that Ulysses is aware of the Syndicate, but we don't get much more than that. We are also told that the Syndicate's goal is to help players get the Gems of Doom, but based on the dialogue from the girl who hands Orion the letter, I believe that their goal seems to be to help specifically Orion get all of the Gems and Doom, a task that they have tried and failed already. This leaves the question of whether the Syndicate's members are players or NPCs, as there is some evidence that Idriel is tied to the Syndicate in some way, as the way she speaks is very similar to its members that we do meet.

The Immortals - We know from Bardot that the Immortals were a group who were able to access Eternum at will. Calypso claims that the Immortals imprisoned her long ago, and suppressed her magical abilities. Perhaps the most important question is what happened to them, or if they still exist. We know that the Founder is most likely an Immortal, and I think that Orion is an Immortal, which I theorize is what 100% compatibility marks.

Eternum - It is not a game, but rather completely alternate worlds. Somehow, the Founder was able to use the neural implant to create the inventory system, exit portals, levels, and more through what William Bardot assumes is coding.

The Founder - We have very little to go off of on him. We know that most of the higher-ups at Ulysses haven't even met him, and that he is trying to accelerate the process of players gathering the Gems. Upon meeting him, voices ring through Orion's head telling him not to trust him. The Founder claims to have offered the Amulet of Blair - a one time resurrection item - to everyone who has gotten a Gem of Doom, which will somehow have consequences for accepting (according to the walkthrough). We are told by William Bardot that the Founder is an Immortal, and that he discovered Eternum, and gamified it through his advanced coding skills.

Calypso - It's difficult to untangle what is going on with her, as we have a lot of backstory, but we do not know how it ties in with the rest of what we know. Her ancestry goes back tens of thousands of years to Anima the Radiant, who we are told also had the power to travel between worlds or "servers," and had powers akin to a God. Calypso also tells us that the Immortals had imprisoned her. Unfortunately, we do not know exactly how long ago this was, and we have no idea why she was imprisoned? Was it the Founder who imprisoned her? I have no theories for this one, so it'd be interesting to hear what you all have to say.

NPCs - NPCs are people who have died but remained living through Eternum. Bardot tells us that while most NPCs are simply puppets of the Founder, some, like Thanatos, live their lives outside the control of the Founder without knowing that they have died. We also know that there is a device that can allow players to take control of the NPCs, as shown in Blackridge. The device looks exactly like the box that contained Calypso, which leads me to believe that it is made from the technology the Founder uses to control the NPCs

Compatibility - Orion describes his experiences in Eternum as him being able to learn new things extremely quickly. It seems that the more compatible you are, the more quickly you adapt to the world of Eternum. It also seems however that high compatibility leads to more "bleeding cases," based on how often Orion has accidently entered Eternum when he's been playing for such a short time.

Idriel's Heads or Tails - It seems to me that we don't have enough information to fully understand what she is getting at with this. The way I read it is that she is trying to signal to Orion that he has the power to control what happens in Eternum and alter fate, (I'd have to imagine that the coin flip in Hollowbrook is tied to this in some way).
