Ripples is similar in some minor ways but think more "Back to the Future" vibes. I was pleasantly surprised when I finally tried it after I played Eternum. I was also looking for something worthy after Eternum.
It's incredible how Ripples' author reaches outstanding levels in rendering and animations using the old and relatively unsofisticated HS1 tool.

Can't wait for the new update! (post nut clarity). The story is really good, Great job Caribdis, loved that he focused on character development over wanking. Reminds me of Touch to Unlock.

I finally managed to complete the most recent Update (my time is extremely limited and I want to have a bit of time when doing a playsession, so it took a while to find this time) and IMO while the Update was still great, for me it felt like 0.8 was weaker than previous Updates. Probably a very unpopular opinion, but I felt that certain aspects felt a bit rushed and some part of the story was cut short to get to the lewd scenes faster.

Those are great, but I would have been fine with not having the Alex-Scene in 0.8 and therefore more outside of the lewd scenes. The other 3 scenes were at least "firsts", so they were more special, I feel like the Alex-scene could have also been pushed back an Update, it felt a bit forced and does not really do her justice after her awesome scene at the end of 0.6.

I am also a bit annoyed by MC - start of the Update he realizes that he needs to be more careful and then proceeds to go into Eternum with his real body. I can get behind it happening by accident or when they were short on time, but not when they visited the Andromeda-Server. It feels kinda off that he does it so casually after saying that he wants to be more careful and less reckless.

Overall a great Update, but IMO a bit weaker than the previous ones.

I agree with all these points. It was probably one of the weaker updates. Not to say it was bad. I wasn't a fan of the whole "doomed timeline illusion". Time could have been better spent on other things.

There was large improvements on the technical fronts though.

Elf world should be fun. I'm always up for more Calypso.(y)

...my condolences to your playthrough's fate in the future.
Oh no...

The voices told Orion not to. Why don't more people listen to the voices in their head.:unsure:
:LOL:

I actually liked it, but I also really like The Stanley Parable, which is the inspiration for this part of the Update. So for me it was really funny, but I can understand why it might be tedious for some.

Oh, I am really looking forward to this! Not really because of Calypso, but mainly because I want to learn more about that world, since it does not seem to be linked to Eternum.

The founder’s artifice was a difficult choice for me. On the one hand.. the guy was clearly evil and up to no good. And on the other hand, I’d rather pick any other option than what the voice is telling me.

I loved the Stanley Paradox homage, too! (y)

But it was an even update! Alex always has story arcs/scenes in those! Traditions must be upheld!

Jokes aside, I agree with your points. It was a great technical update, but it indeed felt a bit rushed story-wise
