Eternam

About

Eternam is a point-and-click adventure game wrapped in a lighthearted sci-fi premise. You play as Don Jonz, a character thrust into a galactic funpark escape after winning a dubious vacation. The game blends traditional puzzle-solving with a quirky script and pixel-art visuals. A standout mechanic is the sudden shift into a 3D dungeon-crawling minigame, clearly inspired by Infogrames’ earlier Drakkhen. The mix of 2D exploration and brief RPG-style combat creates an unusual rhythm for the genre. The game came from Hubert Chardot, known for Lovecraftian horror titles, which makes Eternam’s comedic tone feel like a deliberate contrast. Originally DOS-only in 1992, a 1993 CD-ROM version added voice acting. While not as revered as its developer’s other work, it holds a cult following for its oddball charm and experimental hybrid design. It runs on Linux and older systems, making it oddly accessible by modern standards.
