Just 9 more days until I get back into Eternum!

Thanks!

Agreed, you could take out all the sex scenes in this game and it would still be an amazing VN.

I found that scene to be quite natural. The potion teacher is a nasty pervert and tricked Penny into drinking the potion so that she can ask her naughty questions and get off on it.

@Caribdis

Do you have an estimate on how many more updates until the game is completed? Is there an ending in sight yet?

Eternum is a huge improvement over OIALT in this regard. The latter was very much anime-ish in terms of looks (not that I disliked it), but Eternum went a step further and made the girls look more life-like than ever.

Fun fact: it took me three playthroughs of OIALT to realize that Lauren and Judy just had different hair. :D

One of the things I love most about Eternum is that I like all the girls. It's very rare to find an AVN where this is the case. That said, I definitely have a preference list.

Most attractive: Nancy, hands down, no question. She's like Carla from OIAL turned up to eleven. She's sexy, voluptuous, attentive, and devoted. She is the ultimate MILF.

Most beautiful: Alex. Alex is an interesting character, and although I do like her, she's not in my top-tier favorites. However, I have to admit that out of all these gorgeous, lovely ladies, Alex is the most beautiful one.

Most lovable: Nova. I just love that crazy girl!

Instead of a top list, I will rank the girls by tiers.

Waifu tier:

- Nancy, Nova.

I just can't choose between the hot crazy girl, and the crazy hot milf.

Girlfriend tier:

- Dahlia, Luna, Annie.

I love both Dahlia and Luna. Dahlia is like Nova but less crazy and more bossy, Luna is like Nancy but younger and more vulnerable. Both are huge fantasy nerds. Annie is usually not my cup of tea, but she's so head-over-heels in love with the MC that I just don't have the heart to not include her in this tier.

Friends-with-benefits tier:

- Alex, Penny

Alex and Penny are both beautiful, smart, and interesting girls, but personally I just don't feel the connection as strongly as the girls from the higher tiers.

Currently starting my third playthrough of Eternum, and I just have to say that it is easily THE best visual novel game I've ever played, surpassing Katawa Shoujo and Being a Dik, which are both amazing games in their own right.

The opening of Eternum sent me right into immersion (possibly because I had a high school friend who both looked and had a personality like Chang). The Kredon station scene set the mood so perfectly, it felt like I was right there, sitting on a bench on a sunny afternoon, waiting to see my old babysitter.

The cast of Eternum is an impressive improvement on the already strong character design of OIALT. Each main girl is uniquely interesting and possess layers of hidden depth for the player to discover.

The most amazing part of Eternum is how it seamlessly transitions into all sorts of different settings and themes, from cyberpunk to horror mystery to fantasy questing, and then back to normal life. It really feels like I'm playing a game within a game.

The only thing that sucks is the interminable wait for the next installment! :D

Just found the Calypso reference on my third playthrough. I'm hoping we'll see a cameo of the OIALT protagonist in Eternum!
