I am officially dead. Caribdis, you are a master, an artisan, the blacksmith forging a perfect weapon, the god of the arts. 0.8 was absolutely perfect, nay, it was beyond perfect.
Well, the MC definitely got humbled. Serves right to know that nobody is invincible or untouchable. In anyway, that whole pirate adventure part was pretty good, and the last scene where Orion uses his power to trade items with El Coyote faster than he could see was pretty cool. I'm itching to see how Orion's strength is going to evolve: I'm waiting on an epic battle against Thanatos! It could even be a stickman animation, it would still be perfect.
By the way, still on the pirate note, Nova and Nancy's scene was perfect. Also, the Stanley Parable reference was really cool and funny.
Then we had Annie's date, I loved it. Specially loved to see Annie awaken her inner yandere, I'm a sucker for gap moe. Her scene was also wonderful, and quite romantic by my books. Also, Annie can officially beat Goku: her feat with her ultimate spell was CRAZY. Caribdis, were it not the ren'py engine limiting you, I tell you you have potential in making action RPGs, frfr. On that note, I can't wait to see Orion do crazy stuff too; he's the potential man of Eternum.
There was also Alex's scene. It was also really good, and you madman, you got me when she said she was pregnant. I wonder when the babies will actually start to pile up lol.
And of course, the desert part. I liked it a lot, and seeing Orion and Dalia solo those golem/flesh guards was really cool. Also, Dalia's scene. I loved it, and also really liked that we can be the better man and console Jerry, and get him to better himself and earn his respect. Kudos to you Caribdis; I thought Jerry was just going to be the comedic relief side character, like Kai, but you're managing to make him grow on me.
And, of course, the ending. Jesus Christ, the ending. Calypso is crazy powerful, it seems, and Thanatos is still above Orion's reach. As I said before, I can't wait for an equal footing battle between them. And, lo and behold, they ended up in Calypso's realm! I'm absolutely STOKED for the next version: I can't wait to see what kind of adventure we will have in Hyril'ar, and I'm smelling promise of more Calypso scenes!
Once more, I'll be like Super Boo looking at the clock waiting for the next version, as you ALWAYS manage to make me be. I won't kid you that I'll have to admit Eternum is one of my autistic hyperfocuses.
Long story short, I loved this new chapter, as always. Can't wait until next one! Maybe by then I'll be earning some money and I'll even be able to support in patreon, who knows!
