Ah I see. This is the drain the sapphire out of Orion's balls update. He seems... grateful. 

Unlikely to happen lmao

One playthrough was enough. The MC's experience was way too close to my own experience in the military. And I manage to think about my failure's enough unprompted.

Still not completely sure where I fall on this VN. I think it'll depend on the landing.

I did want to comment on how good a job you did with Ashley. Every time I think I'm done dealing with her attitude she says or does something that makes me want to keep trying to befriend her. And I don't mean the sexual stuff. The sexual stuff is (for someone like me) a huge warning sign to run. A woman like that comes on to you and she's about to take your money, dignity and health and she won't be picky about the order.

But the very small cracks in that persona and how well they communicate that sex is the only domain in which she feels in control keeps from listening to that instinct. So thanks for that!

I was really hoping that the plot twist I saw coming wouldn't happen lol

Damn, managed to get booted off the ship without managing to bed anyone. Truly a playthrough for the ages.

Appreciated the attention to detail. Really felt authentic to the age of sail.

Presumably it would also have a cool down period

I didn't think I'd enjoy this game but I ended up loving it. My playthrough was frustrating  and anxiety inducing. And because of that, this game did what I value most in games, which is giving me a window into the lives of other people. Thank you for the experience. 

Stabby Mike has a country to run! He doesn't have time to be playing Eternum!

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

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.

Luna and Annie. Luna is very uncomfortable touching people (for reasons that are revealed in her route). And Annie who just kinda missed the boat on all that stuff due to her crush and very very small stature (iirc she weighs like 90 lbs.)

They have no sexual experience at all. Not just that they've never done penetrative sex but also that they've never fooled around or even experimented on their own.

So far it's only sex with the MC. There's some very light "rough" sex later and some hard spanking, that kinda thing. But the sex sticks to being pretty sweet all things considered. Two of the girls seem to be out and out virgins with almost no experience. While a couple others are much more confident in demanding what they want.

There are horror moments in the game. And Caribdis does not hold back on the gore when a violent situation arises. But it never intersects with the erotica.  Which isn't to say pretty characters won't ever be hurt. Caribdis seems to be an equal opportunity body mangler.

All I want is for Orion to realize it's ok to deescalate situations.  Please, Orion. Don't be like Jerry.

Really loved the vibe and feel for this game. It was an absolutely delightful blend of hardboiled noir and cowboy ghost stories. You don't really notice how much The Man With No Name has in common with the hardboiled dick until you do a setting swap. Going anthro with the designs was a fantastic choice. It allowed each character to be visually distinct while playing up the supernatural half of the story. Plus, you know, it was pretty hot.

And the composers knocked it out of the park too. I don't know if you specifically asked them to avoid more conventional Western/Detective sounds. But the heavy industrial and frenetic sounds they did go with fit the vibes perfectly.

Thank you again. There aren't enough stories about wolf t-girls going on a doomed quest to rescue a beautiful blonde. 

For the record, I think it can work. For example, Simon of The Last Sovereign is a competent, mature soldier who never outshines his cast. Of course, as an rpg, Last Sovereign can do rotating perspective which gives it a leg up but I think it's still doable in the AVN format.

I think it works. Orion is a lad so he tends to think with his dick and be aggressive when he should be passive. Because he's quick witted it tends to work out for him but when it doesn't... oh boy does it not. 

To be totally honest, I ended up liking Orion the more he interacted with Axel. By the time of their last (to date) interaction, it became clear to me that Orion was just Axel except raised by a negligent father instead of a toxic one. It's nice when the MC works as a foil to other characters.

I really like how the most recent chapter ends on what feels like an echo of what Orion was told by Dalia. More real than real life for sure.
