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.

our beautiful women🫶🏻 thank you cari

I usually dont comment on the adult games i play on here but this game is just so good that i had to. The story is fun, the humor hits different and the NSFW content is good too. Never in my life did i expect to cry laugh at a game i got to get off... but here we are

(+3)

Downloaded it for free to try it out, and already just came back to pay after playing for an hour or so--super impressed so far! Looking forward to trying Eternum once it's complete the way this is.

(+1)

100000% rexcomended. I've replayed Eternum like 6 times, it's the best in the genre for a reason haha. It's better in every way. But this is still a classic.

(+7)(-1)

Once again, please do not trust anybody in any comment section!

The latest scam strategy seems to be multiple fake accounts accusing each other, claiming that they are the legit dev. Meanwhile, they actually all link to the same Patreon page with a malicious download link and no payment set up to avoid being traced.

(+1)

I downloaded the zip file...... what's the worst that can happen?

(+1)

I wasn't logged in then.....I deleted after seeing the files through winrar
didn't extract them

(+5)

"What's the worst that can happen?" - You're playing a game of wits against someone who wants to exploit you. And you can't even win, the best outcome for you is that nothing happens. So why play that game at all?

Even experts on scams have gotten scammed in the past, so don't get complacent please.

(+4)

it wasn't a smug post..... I was genuinely asking as I'm worried

(+4)

Oh, then I apologize for my reaction. If you just looked at the files with Winrar then you're probably fine. I recommend updating Winrar somewhat regularly since there could be vulnerabilities in outdated versions.

If you want to be extra safe, scan your system with an antivirus you trust. You should do that anyway if you play adult games that you got off the internet.

(1 edit)

Don't worry, if you didn't execute any of the files in there you should probablly be good. If you wanna make sure, run a scan on your anti-virus just to be safe and be careful next time man, i'm not trying to say that in a rude way, just making sure you be careful 'cause i've been there once too. Also highly reccomend that whenever you download something, pass it through virustotal.com just to make sure, if the file is too heavy for that then just scan the more sus ones (.exe, .bat, etc.). Anyways, have a good day

(+3)

Caribdis you are amazing. Also man I've noticed you put a lot of mythology stuff in your games. Love it! Keep up the great work!

My first ever anime style avn was One more chance, Once in a lifetime was my 2nd one. Got hit by nostalgia recently as I played these two again. 

I must say I'm looking for suggestions guys..I've played a lot of anime styles avn but maybe there's something I'm missing out.

Ripples, house in the rift, harem hotel, cosy cafe, obviously Eternum is the goat.

(1 edit)

Played all, indeed Enternum is de GOAT. If you’ve played Lost & Found, Lemme know if it’s any good...Am thinking about trying it

I wanted to download a NFSW game for 20 minutes of fun, spent 6 hours and still not finished all endings. Great story, great game

希望更新2代

how do I download this

(+1)

First VN I played ever and wasn't sure if I like them or not so I was happy that I could play this for free and test. Man, after I played and enjoyed many hours with this I had to come back and make purchase just to support your great game and storytelling this has. Liked a lot, both NSFW content and the story around it with good pacing. Keep up the good work!

This game is so funny 😂,

Can I find out which languages are currently available?

Played this game during 2022 and made my summer less boring 

Now that I feel bored, it's time for me to replay this game again. 

(+3)

once in a lifetime- 10/10 (messy hair)- c- in no uncertain terms, no matter how short this ends up being, this is the best AVN ive played to date. 

OiaLt is one of the best of the genre, which is especially surprising considering being Cari's first (public) work.

 it shows the talent and skill in his writing and storytelling prowess with good, wholesome romances and a story that doesnt let you go once it picks up. i didnt expect to be up reading all night, but here i am.  (except how the MILFs started, what the fuck mate?)

Thank you very much!

Hey Caribdis,

I don't know if you ever go back on your completed projects to look at the comments but just in case wanted to let you know that this shit is peak content. I don't think I've ever laughed as hard before. I love how fucking stupid the MC is, makes for great comedy.


Good work,

Thank you so much <3

(+1)(-1)

Caribdis,

Holy moly you actually responded! Since I have your attention, If I subscribe to your patreon does that support your eternum too? Or do you have two different patrons?


Also is patreon best way to support or would you prefer another way? I've already downloaded your games for free, I just want to give you money cuz I'm having such a good time.

完结撒花,好结局一天完成,剧情写的非常好,很感人

Scammer Bots are everywhere. Do not click to any of these links, they are Viruses.

You can check their recent post, it is easy to tell whether they are Scammer Bot or not is because they will be spamming these everywhere.

Don't click their links or images, I warned you.

I hope that no one ever fall for their tricks.

And I wish you all to have a great day.

Thank you for reading this...

Came for the hotties, stayed for the story. Great work.

nobody will ever pay for this game...what a doghsit intro ...bye bye

Hi. New player here. When i finish the jail part of the game and then go to the game show. Blue team wins. And then after that my character is home and gets shot. And i cant progress anymore. Is this the whole game or is there a way to avoid this?

(+1)

You have to win the game show, which isn't easy on the first try. If you're struggling, check the walkthrough among the game downloads.

Thanks mate. Could you maybe tell me how? Might save me some time.

Sorry, but it would take me more time to look it up and type a summary than you just looking it up yourself.

I have nothing to say except ABSOLUTE CINEMA. This game is PEAK! This masterpiece is on another level, ngl I've never comments on any erotic games I played BUT THIS! THE BEST erotic game I ever played 🙌🏻💯


(Btw Stabby Mike the GOAT🐐🗿)

Have been playing your other game Eternum checked out your profile as i love Eternum and seen this wonderful game as well, i got hooked by the story 

(+1)

I still remember this game. Eternum is a visual masterpiece, but this one has peak story for every weebs out there. So quirky, humor always kicks in at the right time, 10/10. Man, I would still play this game even without half of the sex scenes. Nudity and Cruelty are put so well to maximize the immersion.

Thank you so much!!

Great game bro👏🏻🎉💕

Every time I try to download the android version it says Forbidden after it downloads like a gig and then says Forbidden, same any other apps 

I checked the .exe file and got that
(+2)

These are false positives. What about the other 68 vendors who didn't find any issues? Also, you scanned only the game's exe file, what if there's a virus is in the remaining 5GB of game data?

It's good that you're cautious but these security vendor aggregators are not the be all end all of cyber security. The game doesn't need an internet connection, so play it in an isolated sandbox or virtual machine if you want to be careful!

bro, this game starts slow and then quickly gets really epic nicely done!

Değişik biyerde kaldım ve benden şifre istiyor bulduğum şifre 2084 ama işe yaramıyor orayı geçemedim lütfen şifreyi söylermisini

Check the walkthrough among the game downloads.

Hi! I wanted to come back and replay on mac, but am getting an error that I can't resolve by redownloading the game.  Any help, please?

Absolutely amazing game. I didn't expect an ero game to be such a good story. I feel like I'm still in the story with the girls rn. I just hope there is a longer story for them. Thanks Caribdis.

I'm quite enjoying the game so far, although I would love to see the character names on the Paths screen in a future release. The ones I've missed are greyed out making it quite tricky to tell who they are.

(+1)

does anyone know how to unlock that 2 gallery?? i been stuck for hours

Check the walkthrough among the game downloads.

This game is straight up a masterpiece!!!

(+1)

Is it possible to get a harem ending?

(+2)

Yes

(+2)

If you play your cards right you will get harem ending. I suggest looking at the walkthrough if you get stuck

(+1)(-1)

Absolute fucking cinema

(+1)(-1)

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!

(-1)

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.

(+2)(-1)

Spanish?

Hello everyone, is there a tickle here?

(+1)(-3)

The fuck man, you get some real fetish issue...
