To me, there was too little story and too many sex scenes in 0.7. I understand it’s an adult game, but it has always struck a great balance—at least until now.
I joined the community during the early 0.3 release, and every time Carabdis dropped a new chapter, it felt well-rounded. Each update offered a little bit of everything, with a primary focus on the story. That was what made it so captivating: an engaging narrative with a few well-placed X scenes. Because those scenes were fewer, they felt much more impactful and exciting. Which was not the case for 0.7, they felt bland to me cuz too much.
I play the game mainly for the story, its visual style, the writing, and the characters and their relationships. But it’s not "JUST" about the characters or their relationships for me. That’s why 0.7 left me feeling disappointed—it felt as if Eternum had become just another generic sex game, losing the unique balance that made it stand out. Although it's one of the best-looking game I've ever found and the one that sets the highest bar I've ever seen on here, and I've played a lot so I know what I'm talking about.
But I guess that most players of adult games may be here for the fap rather than the story, so I think I’m in the minority on this. It feels like I’m the only one bothered by the shift so, unlucky me.
