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.

Absolute fucking cinema
This game was FLIPPING AMAZING!!! No less than three times it made me laugh so hard!!
Oh sure, the girls are super-hot, and it has plenty of sex scenes, but the funny parts of this game are PRICELESS!!!
Oh, and Stabby Mike of course! HAHAHAHA!

This game is incredibly charming! Yes, the models are beautiful, but they're also likeable. The dialogue can be a bit corny, but there are plenty of funny moments that had me actually laughing. The story is much longer than I expected, this being my first AVN game. I can tell Caribdis put real passion into developing this, and there IS replay value, because even if you spam the back button to see different outcomes, you'll inevitably miss key moments you weren't even aware of on your first playthrough. Do yourself a favor and play this game BEFORE Eternum, because you'll truly appreciate the massive jump in quality between the two. I came back and paid for both of them because they are just too good to download for free!
this game is done and no upates?
Correct, even though the final screen says otherwise.

Spanish?
Hello everyone, is there a tickle here?
The fuck man, you get some real fetish issue...
Hey so I know you can add a options.rpy file to get the developer console to open so you can change variables and get different endings, but not sure where to add that on a mac. Is there a way to do this for mac, or is that just for PC?
This game was and is an amazing game. However, I feel like it's been strongly overshadowed by Eternum in my mind as of late. A great feeling, because Once in a lifetime is so well written and made that even this amazing game is overshadowed says a lot. Props to Caribdis.
Play this whole game and then go play Eternum, it'll blow your mind playing both.
Good question, will there be a Spanish version in the future?
There is a Spanish translation patch of this game on a website that I'm not allowed to recommend because the website is illegal in its nature.
Finished the game.Best ending
how did you get that ending?
Follow the walkthrough!
Update google drive link please i can't downlad from Mega and MediaFire
After Jasmine's 2nd party and the Asmodeus choice, the game seems to try to bring up a "To Be Continued" screen (there's an error in the top left of attached pic) before going back to the main menu. Looking at comments and walkthroughs, and the fact that this game's development is finished and done with, I know there's so much more after this, and I can't figure out how to move past the error, even after reinstalling and transferring my saves. I'm getting narrative blueballs here 😭
hello I can not download the game. It states that its on an incompatible third party website. On itchio I m given three loading points all come up with the same message. Help to a non savy tech
You can't download this game via the itch app, copy the URL at the top and use a web browser instead.
Thank you. Followed your instruction and its downloading now. Have a good day Chalky57
Всем привет а тут есть щекотка?
Hey...i finished the game... this game is so good im waiting for the next update...hope i can see judie and lauren again because i love them. The story is sooo good... There's a puzzles, horror, jokes and i almost cry...i wish i can continue the game and living happily with my two step sisters(actually i think they are my sisters not "step sisters") and last... i love the game devs of this game. I'll play other games while waiting for the next update. 💖😭
I don't know if the game actually completed and end... I want to see judie and lauren againn....
I think I'm done with it time to move on to new games. LOVE JUDIE AND LAUREN. i expected this game to be a nsfw game but i actually enjoy the story more than the sexy models 😅
Go play Eternum! It's got everything they did with this x 100 with a way better cast and story.
There is some file corruption going on. First check whether the zip file was properly extracted and if that doesn't help check whether the zip file was downloaded properly.
10/10!😘
I love this game!!💖 10/10 i love the story though, such a cool family. Love Judie And Lauren love everything in this game it's perfect. This is what family and sisters feels like...
So I got to the end using a guide, had all paths & Mike, and got the montage and ending. The guide implies there's full harem scenes you can unlock, and some van scenes? I did everything and idk how you're meant to unlock those, unless maybe I have an old version idk
I think you misunderstood the guide. The "full harem" and "van" is what you've already seen, these are part of the regular harem ending. There are no lewd scenes with all 7 girls at the same time, or inside the van, if that's what you expected.
Haha thanks, I replayed it and noticed the ending panels were what was described and figured thats what it was, makes sense I did think it would be insane to have that many more scenes 😆 thanks. It was definitely a solid game to check out while waiting for the next Eternum update
is it possible to complete all paths?
I'm using a guide and I have all the women's paths active, and honestly it isn't even that hard most of the options are pretty clear. Honestly it's so goddamn good, in the top 3 best I've ever played in the genre besides Nadia/Genesis and it honestly has better writing. There's a few musical and comedy beats that really got me, and holy shit, there's a few emotional beats on the paths and especially the ending that actually got me. Like holy shit it has no right to be THIS good..
I will say..Mike is a true bro 😆 remember that.
i lost the jasmine and rebecca path and yeah mike and jack are mvps
Jasmines is pretty minor, just one great scene with lauren is what you miss. Didn't look at her grades? Definitely easy to miss.
Rebeccas beach and wedding bits are hilarious and awesome too.
It's really easy to rewind stuff, or just turn on skip and skyrocket to the relevant choices
alquem sabe se o jogo tem gemidos?
I was a ETERNUM player but i didn't know that you also made this masterpiece. I finished it in 1 day and truly mesmerized after the whole story and ending. Love your all work and story-telling, i hope we can see more of your masterpieces like this and Eternum. All hail the Caribdis!
At the end of the game they said they'll be more where can I find it or are they talking about eternum
hey Is there moaning/voice in this game or not
When eternium has goated story im sure this does too
Okay, but... This was really REALLY good. I'm thoroughly impressed.
this game was peak i dont go into these games looking for such good plot, world building, and character development but god damn this shit meant something to me this was just beautiful and ill be downloaing their new game just because. YALL DID GREAT
i am not sure how i did it. but i downloaded 8.3.7 Renpy. downloaded the game. then i updated Renpy night and shadow update from 23 april. may start or may not start at all. i some how managed to move the game folder into the right folder i think inside renpy where you can start new projects or something, then pushed every update button possible. either that or i clicked the downloaded file i am not sure to be honest. all i know is that it worked. thank the lord now i can lay down and enjoy the story without all the mouse clicking and with stephenhawkings`s voice. i am a total noob at this, have no clue what i am doing. so no change will be made from my side. ill get back to you if i manage to complete the game without error and stuff. hopefully i did not break the game :S
is it possible for you to update your renpy to 8.3 or whatever is the new one. and just update the game with it. or make a tutorial on youtube so we players can do it :) much help and thank you for 2 great games. cant wait to see how the last one ends.
is it possible to get txt to speech to work with auto forward?
Maybe my sense of humor is just bad, but this game has actually made me laugh more than pretty much any other game I've played in years, fucking hilarious.
Don’t know if you remember the game Mirror Mine .20 will be released to public in 2weeks. Last update was 2022
Never heard of it, what's that?
(Spoiler) Man i didn't like the step-mom, step-sis thing but damn it was so great that I'm speechless after finishing the game this game is recommended those who like this kind of game
One of the best adult visual novels you can play. It's rare to see such character development, story, and renders in a game. The scenes are wonderful and the interaction and story development is one of the best I have seen. I put off playing this for a while, but I am glad I did. It was worth every minute playing, and the story only got better as it went on. If you enjoy adult visual novels, I highly recommend.
I just played a well written game with great story, good plot, Very interesting characters. I played Eternum and discovered this one later. Loved all the endings so far. Can't wait to discover the next update of Eternum
