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.

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
How do i use walkthrough ?
Its a guide read it for when you don't know what decision to make, or what decision is good for you.
came for the nsfw, stayed for stabby mike
Never thought I'd have to use the binary search algorithm in a porn game
Someone please help me out, I'm looking for a game ( I think the MC went away for some time to some temple and he did some kind of ritual and was back home suddenly a young girl appeared which was his ancestors and only him can see her ) or so 😪 in the game at first it was hard for the MC to cum ( unless his ancestors the young spirit girl was there to help him ( I think she was the cause of it and there was one scene whereby he family went out and he invited his sister's friend and he fuvked her until she passed out and the next day she couldn't walk she was in a wheelchair, then in another scene his cousin came by and they had sex, she could actually withstand the MC and they had a deal that anytime he wants to cum she can help him ... that's all I could remember
damn that game sounds good lemme know when you find it
Found it......( This Is Not Heaven )
yo where can i find it i dont see it on itch.io
Well, I just search for it on Google and find a reasonable site and I downloaded it
😂 it's a really good game but I forgot the name
I know the game its on f95 it's sadly abandoned.
Thank you found it
Can i not download it on mac anywhere else but mega?
you disgust me. you didn't tag this as ntr.
Most wouldn't categorize this game as ntr, but if you're sensitive about it, there's a little bit of it in a few story branches, yes.
The problem is that if you would tag this game as ntr, those who like ntr would be very disappointed.
What NRT stand 4. ?
It's like someone else's fucking you girl or watching your girl get fucked.....look it up
the mc looks like a heroin junkie xD. great game bdw!
Excellent
how do I not die at the end?
This might depend on a choice you made earlier in the story, check the walkthrough.
where is the walkthrough
Among the game downloads
thanks, I don't die now
Please tell me if it is possible to change the language of the game or not
Only through patches. There is a Chinese one downloadable here, and I saw Spanish and Italian on the internet.
Just finished the game, I'm curious about one thing what would happen if I didn't let Mike go with me when escaping the prison. I would really appreciate if someone answer my question.😁
SPOILERS
iirc he just doesn't appear in the story anymore, which leads to less funny moments and at the end you have to pick one girl instead of as many as you like.
I've finally completed this game, I've gone through every ending and I must say the only ending that satisfied me is bad ending that's it.
I was actually impressed about the story. I can say as someone who already read many novel, manga, and web novel it was a pleasant one. I came here from playing Eternum in around chapter 4 or 5 as i don't like to wait around for story update so i think i'll just try some Caribdis old game and it doesn't disappoint.
I can't say it was a masterpiece but you can at least read along and enjoy the journey, on early game it really doesn't have much sound effect but as we approach mid to the last few chapter the dev really make me enjoy it. From this experience i see the dev bring along this trait to his next game as sound effect is a banger there.
The plot isn't much, you play as MC who was investigating some cult. There really not much fighting so in the end because some plot armor MC can win for the good ending. all of this really can be forgiven because the dev is clever in setting the mood, the plot armor also make some sense so it can be accepted.
Other than that the jokes is also good, can't say i laugh much but i can say it makes me smile. Even though the story is about cult the atmosphere is not always gloomy and heavy
Also because of this game universe is connected to the next game i just hope we can see some cameo there like Mike the stabby guy, MC, and his Heroine. if Harem ending is the canon one we can at least see Mike because he was a president now. Also i'm just curious did MC lose his power or not.
Damn, sorry about that. The game can be challenging indeed. If you're considering starting over, I made a mod that can help you with retaining paths that are important to you. You probably missed so much stuff already that backtracking isn't viable in your case.
I managed to get the last girl. The choices for her were very obvious. And I got a decent ending too. I just don't know how I lost the path from the girl that gave be a BJ in front of my sister. She was hot into me and I don't remember and choices that directly involved her after that.
Jeez, I definitely didn't have that much of an issue lol I think I lost one path on my blind playthrough
ive played through it and i can say that they really do, if ur struggling theres a walkthrough with all the right choices online that i used for some of my runs, just search "once in a lifetime walkthrough" on google
Broo 💀💀 I think got the worse ending so far, I lose the path of every girls and non of them end up with me💀. Por boy and my *Mike* get's killed in front of me because of stupid cult thing Idk (he doesn't deserve it) ,but one good thing I get I became a hero and I also got the power of the book (I dont remember the name).
But boyy (spoiler) I was actually endup playing a fucking vr in this game! , even tho I managed to save the world , but I never save bro's life he's lonely af💀.
But seriously, I love the game and It worth for a while "I need to finish this game" for now this game deserves a Love, I gonna rate it after I done this stupid journey.
Your game is super cool, I really enjoyed playing it even though I haven't finished it yet. I can't keep track of Rebecca's path. Any clues if possible?
• SPOILER•
The last time I see her is in the church when she is about to get married.
why i have a black screen ...
Final comment. I beat the game with its good ending and stabby mike is awesome. Bets character in the game. Good story actually. Congrats, you made a VN that gets the approval of one of the most jaded assholes on earth. =P

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
