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.

wow. An actual complete VN.

Theres a few you just gotta look real hard lol

(1 edit) (+2)

Thank you for taking the trouble to make a good game with a convincing story. Admittedly, the graphics are a little off-putting at first, especially compared to other AVNs with very realistic models, but you soon get used to them, as the way the characters are written gives them a great deal of charm.

Once In a Lifetime is one of those rare AVNs that are restoring the genre's reputation. In a sea of AVNs made simply to appeal to an audience with low expectations in order to squeeze money out of them, with a story little more elaborate than amateur porn, badly done animations, poorly polished scenes and really mediocre dialogue, it really pulls its weight and shows that writing convincing AVNs isn't for everyone, but when it is, great things can be achieved.

Thanks and good luck with Eternum. I'm still a student, but as soon as I can afford it, you're on the list of people I'll be donating to without delay. 🙂

Edit: Actually nevermind, spending a few dozen euros won't kill me, after all.

Absolutely love the game, but can anyone help with the gallery? Im missing one scene on the last page, the bottom left one thanks :)

Spoiler: shortly before last trip, go to the dojo with aiko and lauren to "train"

ahh tysm

Anyone know the song where the MC stalked Judie on her date with James? The song is just hella good and I wanna listen to it. <3

nvm, i didnt know i played this game before and asked the very same question 2 years ago lmao. still HELL OF A GOOD GAMEE

At first I was like "Damn, the character models in Eternum is far better". But then, holy shit if the story isn't good. Got me hooked up and finished the game in 2 days.

10/10

how do I follow carla path

There's a walkthrough among the game downloads and I have a guidance mod here. Both will help you.

mmm interesting

Is it difficult to have an android version with french transaltions ?

How to play Korean translation??

(+1)

Holy Shit, this has to be one of the best VNs on here. The story was so incredibly engaging and the little moments of stupid humour throughout were just perfect. Thank you for making this masterpiece, I know I sound like I'm glazing but this was just that amazing that it deserves it. 15/10 wishing for more in the future.

This game sucks.

just by looking at your comments i can tell your opinions are all Ls

(+1)(-16)

Enough harassment just because i didn't like it, you all are horrible people.

(+11)

Hate breeds more hate. If you want to leave negative feedback, be constructive and avoid hateful language. What you wrote doesn't help anyone, it just looks like you're fishing for attention.

Yes

Bro you tripping, You could have said, "me personally I don't like this game" tsk tsk tsk

Great game and art work . Amazing story line and role play . Hats off to the dev !and keep it up

(1 edit)

will there ever be a part 2 maybe or dlc? this game had me hooked to the story nd girls. im playing eternum now since i just beat once in a lifetime in 1 sitting and all i can think about is the story and all the characters xD already missin the mc nd stabby mike cant forget bout tom either

I think not. Harem ending is idyllic, and dev has said he prefers to move forward.

How much is pregnancy in this? like is it only mentioned, or will girls be knocked up, etc

It changes a bit of the late Carla storyline but otherwise is only shown in the credits

I’m an old fan of Cari and I’ve received many requests about the names of OSTs used in OIALT, so I’d like to post it here.

For those who have trouble finding the OSTs for this fabulous game, I have made a COMPLETE Spotify playlist, where the sequence of the songs are tailored to the story chronologically. Feel free to save the playlist, or ask me on Discord! No BS, rickroll, or anything stupid. I’m just a Samaritan like Stabby Mike stopping by (THIS IS NOT A SPOILER)!

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3FNd2UIB4ifJd3cJpa4Gp7?si=jxY1DKGKQlmJh-qkKCVsxQ&pi=a-6a_wUGAdS9uO

I have also made two playlists for Eternum (by Cari as well!) and thorough playlists for other games such as My Bully Is My Lover (by Cari’s dear friend Niichan), Sicae (Niichan’s work) and New Horizon (by KawaiiSukebe, KS). These games in my opinion have well-written stories along with excellent music tastes. Feel free to check these playlists out on Spotify if you enjoy these games!

Pigrider Regards ;)

what am i doing wrong? ive tried 3 times now from the beginning with different choices and i always get shot and the deus text comes.

SPOILERS

You don't need to completely restart every time. You just have to win the gameshow, use the walkthrough if you're having trouble; it's among the game downloads.

(+1)

thanks !

Amazing game!

(1 edit) (+3)(-1)

I absolutely adore this game. The story is top notch 10/10. The models are great, the humor is on point and hilarious. Even the side characters are amazing, by the end I was so attached to Stabby Mike. 

(+1)(-1)

Happy to hear that! Thank you!!

I was hesitant to play this game as I usually go for 2d games 

but I loved this game. I easily got used to the doll-like graphics and character models and I even played it twice

 cuz I was told there was a secret ending and I never thought the game could get even better.


 If you got the secret ending then you'll know what I'm talking about.

eter? i said in short to see if thats whats ur talking about.

(+1)

Yes you got it XD

Thank you so much!!

I played this game a year ago or so now and to this day it is my favorite porn game I've played. Honestly a big reason for it is the game is genuinely really funny but also the girls are hot so its just a straight 10/10. I'm looking to start playing Eternum soon as well and I have high hopes!

Thank you! I hope you like Eternum!

i want to trigger the last to second gallery.All other gallery is complete .but I don't know what is missing .I replay that scene over and over again(it was Judie and iris pregnancy scene)

(+2)

I got to say, this game is literally amazing, i just got bored one day and downloaded it and i spent all night playing 10/10 story was amazing

TYVM!

I have already played Eternum before I played this so I knew what I was in for. But wow I did NOT expect this game to be so great! The characters are incredible (especially stabby mike), the story is super engrossing, and it looks extremely good for this kind of game. Setting aside the fact that its an nsfw game, this is still incredible. It being an nsfw game attracts a lot of people, but they never know what greatness they are in for. I love the small mixes of horror here and there and honestly the horror actually was SUPER good. I was definitely not expecting to see good horror, but this game always had me on the edge of my seat. There is also a good bit of comedy and I was laughing my ass off it was too funny...

{MAJOR SPOILERS} I love the ending that I got for this game as well. It comes together perfectly. I was elated when I saw that stabby mike was still alive and I love how it shows a sort of time lapse at the end to show the future. Also, finding out that Astaroth is your dad was in some way expected but also completely unexpected which is interesting. But why did he leave the grimoire on the ledge like that lol.

But seriously, this game is amazing and I can't recommend it enough. Same with eternum, although I can't play it now because its too much space for my android. Cardibis is an extremely talented developer and you made an awesome game! It made my day many times. Thanks for that!

Thank you so much for your feedback, Virtz!

When I first saw this game I was like cool another adult game I can play and have fun with but it ended up becoming one of my favorite games ever the characters are so good the story is amazing ((Spoiler) I was so upset when stabby mike died and when he showed back up I was screaming with joy that he was back.)

Happy to hear that!

Dude. I just finished this game. And I have to say:

This is my first full playthrough of a game like this. Ignoring that it's a NSFW, this was wholeheartedly a great game through and through. 

Your standard AAA game has made me laugh MAYBE enough times to count on your fingers. This game genuinely me audibly laugh at EACH and EVERY joke. Like, holy crap. Be it something a character said, the back and forth screen transitions, the characters reacting to various things mid sentence, and the hilarious background actions during a conversation

((((((SOFT Spoiler!)) The one where New Tom dragged the kid behind the bush after insulting the MC had me ROLLING! )))))))

The story is solid af. I love the fluid transition between arcs. Beginning as a fun school dating sim and evolving to something more mature and mysterious, the story kept me on the edge of my seat. 

And oh my god, the references. I felt like the author was becoming a friend of mine throughout the game! (((((((Soft SPOILER)))))))) At the hotel during the finale where you're given the option of a movie to put on. The correct choice was very clear, and it wasn't DB Evolu🤮... lol

Now then. For the smut review!!!!

I thought it was amazing when your sister touched... ya know what? Just play the game. You won't regret it. 5/5.... 10/10!!!..............💯/💯!!! 😎

Now for Eternum. 🫠

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it so much!

Hope you like Eternum!

Stabby Mike is BEST GIRL

Fr best girl

finally found someone who agrees lol

I have a problem. I'm at the part of the game where you give lauren a massage but everything I do leads to her path being lost. So can anyone tell me what's wrong?

At the end of the massage "minigame" there's an affection point threshold. So you can lose Lauren's path there even if you do the massage perfectly. I think you need 8 points minimum there.

Stuff like this can happen, sometimes you get locked out of something because you messed up hours ago. I created a mod that provides early warnings in such scenarios.

Spanish?

ahora no

ngl this is one of the best games I've played on mobile. Great characters and amazing story. Definitely going to try out Eternum after this. 10/10

(+2)

eternum is the best fucking game ive ever played im sure youll love it. caribdis has become my favorite developer because of it.

Fr

Hope you like it!

The apple alarm bout gave me a panic attack.

the Japan arc is my favorite arc

If you lose a path can you get back on it or is it gone forever?

Gone forever. If you have fomo, I have a mod that can alleviate that.

(+2)

One of the only porn games I've played where the story was enjoyable and actually made me laugh multiple times. Also all the girls and scenes are really good, my favourite was the romance with the teacher.

Thank you for playing!

alguien tire paro y deme una guia de este juego

jajjja tamos iguales mi pana

MUY BUENO EL JUEGO, PERO NO SE COMO TENER TODAS LAS ESCENAS
