Once in a Lifetime
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Hi!
I'm Caribdis and I'm creating Once in a Lifetime, a choice-based visual novel made in Ren'py with tons of romance, mystery, humor, and much more!
_____________________________________________
Plot
You live in Mistbury, an apparently normal town where you live an apparently normal life with your family. However, you'll soon discover that this place hides some deep dark secrets and things can heat up very fast...
From infiltrating into a prison to exploring mysterious mansions and traveling to the other side of the world: embark on an adventure of conspiracies, meeting bizarre characters, living unique experiences, seducing gorgeous girls and, if there's time, saving the world.
If Astaroth seizes power, it will be the end for all of us.
Only you can stop him.
Esse est deus.

Loved it
Hey, loving this game, is there a way to win the game show??? I keep losing and then get murdered in my bed lol
Yes, you can win it. Just think about what you have already done with the girls prior to the game show when choosing who competes. Partial spoiler explanation below.
You raced with Lauren in the park, so choose her for the race competition (Tortoise and Hare). You got a quiz from Judie in the library, so choose her for quiz (Rain of Knowledge). Carla is into such things, so choose her for Mentalist.
damn good game would love to play more, loved all the little references to other games and media too, the -37 will to live and the reward for the festival in the village had me in tears laughing
Is this game free or where do I buy?
The game is free, but donations are encouraged. Or you can support the dev on one of his crowdfunding profiles, Subscribestar or Patreon.
idk what i'm doing wrong but i keep losing the judie path, i pick everything and it always gets lost, is this a scripted thing or am i doing something wrong?
the moment i lose the path is when (SPOILERS BTW)
you wake up the day you and judie sleep in that abandoned house thing before you find the vent to find the church of astaroth.
as soon as i wake up that day her path is always lost.
Check the walkthrough! After Judie got changed you need at least 6 affection points with her to stay on her path.
If you don't want to worry about low affection points ruining future opportunities I recommend you this guidance mod I made a while ago.
i did, thanks the walkthrough is extremely helpful!
I have a question, which Is the canon girl, we know that the canon end Is the harem.buy which girl the protagonist made girlfriend/marry?
The game is very good, what is its best ending
THIS IS LITERALLY THE BEST VISUAL NOVEL I'VE EVER PLAYED, the comedy, characters, mc, writing and the emotional ending.....I'm depressed it's over...fucking pefect
>.> I find the stepsibling thing being shoved in our faces as really annoying. The author should have allowed the users to decide at the start whether they are actual siblings or not so everyone can have that detail be what they feel is best.
The sex bits are entitely pointless and frankly i feel as if they dont even need to be there at all. Its tghe only bit i care about honestly though the farther along i get in the game, the more interesting the story does become so ill give props for that. I would not call the game funny or hot though like flowerhair did.
Sorry but while this isnt bad, Harem Hotel and Corrupted Kingdoms are both better IMO, albeit not for the same reasons. I frankly would have liked more freedom and i think there was no need to even bother with choices either. They all mean nothing because we all know the outcome will be the same no matter what.
So, eh, this is above average thus far but i would rather have more freedom to do what i actually want instead being railroaded into one path like most VNs do.
Hm, your critique is more about the game's style, rather than its quality. Some AVNs are more linear and some are more sandboxy. The linear ones usually have fine tuned pacing and more immersion while the sandbox ones offer more freedom. I prefer the linear ones!
The in-game choices do matter, but there indeed aren't major story branchings, save for the endings.
Humor is subjective, but for me and for most it's one of the game's big strengths.
Including the option for biological incest in AVNs is problematic, sadly. The big credit card companies are projecting their own values on the content they help monetize. That's why platforms like Patreon, Steam, and even Itch, saw themselves forced to "disincentivize" flavors like incest. To circumvent this, you can usually find fan-made "incest patches" for AVNs on the internet. Or some AVNs use landlady/roommate as placeholders and offer the player to customize these role designations, as long as the players type it in themselves.
For this game however, I find the step-relationships very fitting. You don't need an incest patch for this one.
Great game, funny, hot. I actually quite liked the story as well. It is 10/10 for me.
Really enjoyed this. From start to finish a great game. Had me hooked all the way through. The characters were so well written. I kinda wish I'd played this before Eternum in hindsight but I can see how you've really upped your game after playing this. If I have one gripe about both games...and its kind a minor one...its the lack of the pregnancy content. I assumed with it being listed as a feature and the fact there's an option at the start to enable/disable it that it would be more of a thing.
So the best ending where we got them all is arab ending... Great game tho, stabby mike is the best
This is not a game about you. This is not a game about any of the girls. The true protagonist of this game... is Michael "Stabby Mike" Stabb. Businessman-turned-prisoner-turned-yakuza boss-turned-priest-turned-vigilante-turned-pilot-turned-president of the United States of America.
我进不去...
Just finished the game, i just had to come back to say i loved the entire thing. I'm happy with how it ended and it feels truly finished.
I've also done a bunch of Eternum already and i can't wait untill that's finished aswell, and it's very noticable that you're getting even better in that game.
Does anyone know any game that has a great storyline such as this and eternum?
Desert Stalker, but not finished yet so you have to handle the frustration of not having the end yet however it's top quality with easily 20+ hours of gameplay
Harem Hotel is quite good. It starts a bit slow, but it's really good once it gets going
Harem Hotel is pretty good, at least the non sex related bits of the story. I actually find sex has far too much or a part in the story, as literally everything is completely.........i forget what word i wanna use here. But too much focus and shoving in the face with sex and not enough on the other more important and interesting non sex bits of the story. Also, Ashley is clealry Himiko from My hero academia.
Caribdis, you outdid yourself with this one. Thank you so much!
I want a season 2. Either story continuation or focus on the children, I don't care. Our family should become a family of demon hunter or something. That would be sick!
Also, can I ask for some downloadable wallpapers? The one where all the girls posing at the minibus is a beautiful view!
Once again Caribdis, thank you for such a beautiful story. This one's definitely a legend, at least in my book. And you're a legend, too.
There won't be a season 2, Caribdis himself confirmed this story is wrapped up, check out his other project Eternum, highly recommend.
In the game you can press the S key to take a screenshot and H to hide any text on the screen.
We need a season 2
we need chinese!
我们需要中文！

求 哥
MIKE BECAME PRESIDENT! WE WIN THESE
This was nonsense, motherfuckers.
update: just finished the game and was able to get the best ending. I fucking wept to a porn game this shit is just peak! stabby mike is the goat 11/10
I feel the same way lol. On one end, not even my closest friends will know I played this game. However, this is by far the best game I've ever played and I am so glad I played it.
Peak fucking game I just can't believe I didn't heard about this game before and this porn game somehow made me laugh more than a comedy show would 100% recommend
This is the first time I've laughed so many times while playing a visual novel, thank you for this beautiful game!
Waifu Academy next Dude, big lols as well
Caribdis! Thank you for Mike! You're the bestest!
The elephant moment is just hilarious! Caribdis, you made my day!
Trust me, I'm talking dog! Fucking hell! That was awesome!
Hey, guys! I am drifting through the game! Unbelievably insanely mindfucking story! But I have a question about apothecary trip: joker and Batman are ok, but who are the radiation suit man, bunny and the rest?
Spiderman is also ok ;)
Everything is really good, but:
Jokes placed really well are the get we needed.
It's a gem.
I can't download it I tried many times but always failed (Android)
When I open the game, it flashes back.
What do I do if I want to play this but it says it's hosted on an incompatible third party website? It was the same thing for Eternum and a few other VNs I've been wanting to try
just copy the link and open it in a browser and download the game from the browser it self
I got it! Much appreciated, thank you!
10/10 PURE CINEMA
i just finished it and I enjoyed it so much I had to drop a comment. The story is so good and hilarious, at first i didn't took it seriously but in the end i really loved it. Loved the characters, the girls are beautiful and hot, but some guys were UGLY af they visually hurt me at first but i got used to them lol
I got straight to the best ending and wow i never felt so good and had that stupid smile all the time, looking forward to play Eternum now!
Eternum is the best AVN hands down. I loved OIALT, but Eternum is a HUGE upgrade. Caribdis always manages to break peak with a new peak
Bro Eternum is the revolution in the world of AVN's
