How...? I don't understand...

I've never "played" a VN game before. Never really been into super NSFW kind of stuff cuz generally they're a bit tacky. This was the first time I've ever played a game like this. It was a random recommendation I found on a random Reddit post in the comments somewhere. They said it was *hilarious*, good story with some mystery and thrills and "some" NSFW stuff. It was highly recommended. I was bored. Clicked the link. It went directly to the download page, so I never even saw the thumbnails and Gifs on the side of the actual game page.

I. Couldn't. Stop. Reading.

Jesus Christ this game is hilarious. It's 1,000,000x more than anything I'd expect it to be. I pulled an all-nighter the night I downloaded it and had to work the next day. It was rough. But worth it. When I finally finished the current content, I was really sad but suuuuuuper looking forward to what's in store next.

I just don't understand how a game with this "NSFW" content as it is (which is honestly a fairly small part of this game in particular, which is great to me, cuz I just love the focus on character and moment to moment dialogue and story progression) hooked me in as much as it did. I don't really know what to say, man. This game blew me away.

I just finished Once in a Lifetime a bit ago and while it's... more "extreme" in the NSFW department and a little eye-roll-y convenient to get certain "situations" to happen, I fucking loved the shit out of it too. It was "less". Less everything (except the NSFW stuff). But it was your first game (I'm assuming? It's the only other one you're advertising that I can see?) and I can really, very much so appreciate how far you've come and are pushing in Eternum.

Sorry for the long wall of text, but I just felt a bit empty inside after finishing Once in a Lifetime. Tom. Stabby Mike. Jack. All the girls. The story. The hilarity. But more importantly, the characters. In Once in a Lifetime and Eternum. Amazing. Just perfect. Keep it up. You've more than earned another fan.

For anyone reading this: Any other recommendations? (lol, sorry if I can't ask that here. Literally just signed up to itch.io to leave this review.)

Hero's Harem Guild is more of a story the name would imply. The game hasn't had an update in a while because the creator decided that the game would have 4 chapters and they would would release it in 1 chapter chunks and each chunk is 6-10 hours of play time.

My bully is my lover and life changing choices. Are 2 from 1 creator that you might like.

It all depends on the story setting and how much NSFW you want.

Once in a Lifetime was borderline too much NSFW for me. It was a bit forced. But I get it, I guess, cuz it was that kind of "sex fantasy" story or whatever. But I still really enjoyed the game cuz the romance and love was real and the characters were amazing. Eternum is just right, so far at least. Plenty of "will they, won't they" with realistic progression in character arc and romances. I'm not a prude, I don't mind or care for the NSFW stuff, and actually encourage it *because* it's real. That's mostly what I want as far as that goes, I guess. Some realism.

But all in all, I just really appreciated the humor and the mystery and the characters in Caribdis' games. Was blown away by it all. But then again, this was my first foray into this genre and style of "game".

I'll check out those recommendations! Thanks! I wasn't sure if I was gonna get hits for any. I just stumbled upon this and not sure where to look for further VNs in this nature.
