Okay... you know how Telepurte is more or less like THE animation guy of Twitter and YouTube? Yeah, well in this instance, it would literally make you THE number one content creator of AVN's (not including companies like Illusion who really don't count). Seriously, OiaLT? That was the Birth of Venus by Boticelli. Eternum? This is the bloody Starry Night by Van Gough. By the end of Eternum years from now, you'll have painted the Mona Lisa in all her wicked beauty.
You. My man... are a damn King of creation.
I don't how long you've been making these games or when your thirst for writing began, but I am just totally inspired by the majesty you share for us to watch unfold. Honestly, I even come back and replay parts of Eternum from scratch to purge my writer's block. Your work is just so damn fantastic!
But enough of my fan-boying, excuse the excitement. You released the new version on the month of my Birthday, so this feels really special.
What I enjoyed about this version:
- The comedy (booba is second place to excellent writing, I don't care who calls me an idiot for it). I was laughing so hard my neighbors came over to my house so that they could slap the happiness out of me. Everything was just so hyped (and for good reason). The introduction of ChopChop and his 'fairy' assistant, the MC's general aloofness, and let's not forget Chang's badassery when the topic of a heist reached his ears. What had me in stitches was that cartoon world where Nova shot that goofy bear. Holy crap, I did NOT see a dark ending coming when he was expressing his dying words. I loved it. I adored it! I want so many of my friends to play this game and experience it with me.
- The plot. Talk about intense, powerful, uplifting, exciting and adrenaline-pumping. The opening scene where we meet Calypso, that was so damn interesting to observe. It filled my head with so many theories to go on a tangent about. Thank goodness I watched SAO enough to understand the sheer concept of what she was on about.
- The action. Dude. Dude... DUUUUDE! That opening fight with Thanatos? A Spear through his bloody chest. The awakening power the MC gains both from Calypso and his 100% synchronisation with the Animu- I mean neural implant? That was so sick. I almost drooled from how cool it was. Then there was the fight in the Coliseum. All the hype, all the intensity, and then there was that ultimate quick-tim event. Man, it was so damn epic.
Things that I particularly liked and smiled like an idiot for:
- References. You have a lot of them in your games, and it's understandable why. They just make everything all the more enjoyable, like with the parody Hogwarts world. I've never seen anything that amazing. I'm an HP fan as much as the next guy, but for us to actually take part in the Triwizard Tournament? My heart was in my throat the entire time. I was so damn excited. I felt like how I did as a kid playing The Goblet of Fire on my PSP over ten years ago!
And don't think I didn't miss the best freaking reference of the update! That's right, I mean the badass Undead Church from Dark Souls, man. And the fact that you incorporated it into the Defense Against the Dark Arts subject? I'm not gay, but I seriously love you <3.
- The H-scenes (you knew we were gonna come to this eventually). Damn...
I thought the first few were hot. I. Was. WRONG.
Not gonna lie, I did expect Maat to ask for something kinky like that whilst she watched, but I was certainly not prepared for how stunning the scene actually was. Maat kinda reminds me of that bathroom scene with Jasmine from OinLT to be honest. I felt bad at the option to take her eternals at first. I mean, she did get banged into a wobbly mess before getting a taste of her own medicine. But later in the playthrough, I realised that I kinda needed the cash, and that she's probably ripped off hundreds of innocent people before. So, I went back to that save and robbed the b***ch.
Nova? I've kinda been crushing on her, Luna and Nancy for a while now. That said, I didn't expect her progression with the MC to arrive that quickly (but boy was it hot.) The Roman Hot Tub Extravaganza, as I've just recently dubbed it, was so sexy I nearly fainted from how gloriously amazing it was. Thank you for the amazing experience.
Aside from all that, I noticed you updated your logo name. It looks so dope, and the colours pop like cool crystals. Nice work.
Cheers to another great update. Stay safe and God bless, mate.
P.S. - This is quite a long review to leave, I'll admit. Either way, even if you don't end up reading this, I'm happy that I could still share how grateful I am for this update and this game. Thanks for all the hard work Caribdis <3.
