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 did not expect this game to be as good as it was but goddamn. Not only was the writing godly, nearly shit myself laughing, but the story was interesting and had me invested.

Glad you liked it!

Im having a glitch where things in my gallery are locked even if I have unlocked them

ive installed google drive 1 but its got an error wont let me uninstall any advice?

(+1)

Wow, what a banger of a game. Kinda glad I discovered Eternum first because finding out about this game right after is an absolute blessing cause its completed. Now I wonder if the threesome with the sisters are the last scene or there are some that I'm still missing yet? 

(+1)

That's a spoiler and no, that's the last one

作者可不可以把汉化版增加几个来源,现在这一个总是下到一半就出错

Could you please add other approaches to Chinese translation such as Google Drive?This only one always causes error in halfway.

哪位大佬知道下载了中文版显示的还是英文要怎么设置

你下载的什么版本

What is the h manga that judie is reading in the attic?

on to the real review

I havent played very many avn's and coming from acting lessons and the absolute emotional tearfest that was I was not very sure I would like this but I gave it a chance because you could get girls pregnant and was pleasantly surprised. This is not your standard fck everything. The story is so well developed nothing is left too open that you're left scratching your head. It's an epic story with a side of sex and Eternum is making me lose sleep because I want to keep enjoying the story, it's like a book that you just can't put down. Initially I was not gonna make a profile but I had a question and this dev is just amazing in his art form and since I did make a profile deserved a glowing review.


Tldr: PLAY THIS GAME!!!! YOU WILL ENJOY THE STORY!!!

Thank you for your review!!

Just need some advice on what to do.

I tried downloading the game on Android and the base game was downloaded but whenever I try to install the game from my files, it won't let me even though I have enough storage for the game.

When you say that it won't let you, does a message pop up with any extra information or anything like that? I know for a while I had issues because games from "unknown sources" like APKs aren't allowed to be installed unless you go into settings and give what is trying to install the Game permission to do so.

(+3)(-1)

Alright. I have had previous comments about this game. Now that I have cooled down, let me sum up my thoughts. It's just a legitimately awesome game. Downloaded it for lewd stuff, but was pleasantly surprised- not only it is great, the story is really good too. I had very strong emotion right after finishing the game (as my previous comments show), and now I remember the game just as I remember The Witcher 3 (no, I'm not kidding), because of how it made me feel. It also reignited the flame in me to create games, so who knows, maybe it'll be a beginning of something bigger in my life. I said it a 1000 times already, but I'll say it again- Caribdis, thank you for that experience!

For anyone who doesn't know if the game is worth playing or not- it is. Download it right now and experience a good fking product

(+1)

Thank you so much!!!

I can't believe Stabby Mike became Catholic Mike

President Stabb.

(+3)

this game made me create an account just so I could comment and say thank you so much for this masterpiece, the ending song made me shed tears... if anyone knows it or has a link i'd appreciate it. 

Much Love 

(+5)

the thing i love about you caribdis, the story is one of the best i've ever read, but the interactiveness you feel you make in character's lives, even like Tom, Jack, Oli, and the Tour Guide, those little addins that you don't need but make it evermore better, and your humor is fucking outmatched! XD 

Also, appreciate how it's not just h-scene after scene but it's seamlessly woven into the story with perfect amounts of serious plot, comedic relief and winding down climaxes lol. 

Definitely keeping this game in my "Best of the Best" folder

(+1)

So happy to hear that! Thank you!!

(+1)

I dont know if you've found it yet, but the ending song is "I'll be Right Behind you Josephine" by Josh Woodward

(+1)

thank you ! 

(+2)

Absolutely loved the story. This is well written.

Thanks!

做得很好我会一直关注你的游戏

Alguien me puede brindar una solución el porque se prohibe una descarga en mi teléfono?

(+2)(-1)

I absolutely loved the game.

The story actually was interesting to me. Not complicated, but also not plain. I'm not a picky player when it comes to story, but a good ones is always enjoyable, and this one is enjoyable. The girls are awesome, it was a hard choice, but Laurens thighs made the choice. The humor, the lewd moment, the serious moment, the scary moments- everything just made me feel like I want to continue. If the game could last forever I would be playing it until the day I die.

The moments I can say are not the strongest here are some shaders and textures in some specific areas. But the character models are good, so it doesn't really bother me. Sometimes huge time jumps made me sad because I thought that there could've been so much in between it made my imagination go crazy, but at the same time a appreciate that it didn't turn into "have sex 9 time between serious scenes".

Absolutely will play through it again. Absolutely will play Eternum when it's fully released (don't want to leave myself waiting multiple times, so I'll just wait for the full version to come out). Insane respect for making the games free, you a real one for that! If it was on Steam I wouldn't even hide it from anyone. 100% achievements and fck everybody who has any questions.

(+2)(-1)

Alright, scrap that. I just played through it again a couple of times. The fact that you can take FIVE girls with you is just omg thank you. The ending song brings out so many emotions. I wish there was a second part, but I bet Eternum is not gonna disappoint either. Once again- HUGE respect to the dev!

(+2)(-1)

I've lost it. I've decided to give it a last watch. The ending scenes. I actually had tears dropping man. Who would've guess such a game would do it to me

(+1)(-1)

I just realized why it made me so emotional. I'm fucking lonely man, and finding a girlfriend like any of the girls here is SO fking hard, it's been dwelling on me for a while now. And now this. The ending, where you get several partners for you life. The song made it so much harder to bear

(+2)

Bro

same bro... same

(+1)

You can take all seven. 

(+1)

Thank you so much 💗

hello I recently downloaded the game on android, in the web it say 1.0 version but the file name was still 0.10, is it the same?

yes it is buddy

oh thanks man, I'm just little confused

you good ?

(+1)

Stabby has quickly become my favorite character

(+1)

President Stabb, now. :D

(+1)

I'm thinking about playing this game but I have one question cause I'm looking at the logs of the games updates, is this game complete full release or will there be more content being added 

(+1)

The game is complete, yes. That the game receives more content is unlikely. Right now, the dev is fully focused on his latest project, Eternum.

(+1)

Thanks for letting me know ill download it right now and get started playin

64bit or 32bit? Android

yo does anyone know what happen to aiko? i just finished the game and in the last few scenes i dont see aiko? wth happend to her?

(+1)

She should be there. Maybe you lost her path shortly beforehand?

SPOILER

If she questions you about the threesome at the gas station, you have to admit it to her.

ye i did 

You did what? Lose her path or admit? Last option (SPOILERS again) is that you didn't get the best ending and had to choose one girl.

(+5)

Came for the sex stayed for the story

(+6)

I had to make an account just to say this, Im not gonna lie i downloaded this game only because i was horny but it ended up being one of the funniest and best games ive ever played. It has really good scenes, the humor is ON POINT and even though its about the same story line as every other H-Game (being that you romance the characters and then move away with all the characters you have romanced) it was REALLY GOOD. Just the Stabby Mike story was a fucking banger, i actually almost cried when he died in the game and cheered out loud when he ended up being the pilot. The characters ease themselves into the relationships. They get introduced at a good pace. The Endings are well thought out (except the Prison one where i dont think they would get over the mc so easily if they already knew what was going on, except if they were controlled maybe but meh, just not my ending thats all) and the little easter eggs, for example with Tom were super funny even if they didnt add much to the story. For it being a super linear H-Game theres actual replayability and THANK GOD FOR THE "BACK" BUTTON without it i wouldve failed every single story line. Its an AWESOME game with my only complaint being that i cant erase my memory with that spray and play it all over again. (Stabby Mike for president!!)

(+2)

Thank you so much!!

This is one of the best. Iris is my favorite and also Carla

(+1)

一生一次会产生第二季吗?我真的很喜欢它。这对我来说很重要

I hope so too.🥺(我也希望如此🥺)

你们能正常下载吗?我的安卓版老是下一半报错403,有没有其他渠道

(+1)

Does the author have any plans to make a sequel?

(+1)

guess you should just... play eternum

(1 edit) (+1)

Yeah, I think so. Maybe this game has come to a successful conclusion. But I still hope to have a sequel. Maybe I played too fast, and I felt the story was short. Of course, the game has a strong sense of substitution. So I unconsciously played to the finale.I really hope to see the sequel of this game in a lifetime. Just once.🥺🤧(是的,我想是的。也许这场比赛已经圆满落幕了。但我还是希望能有续集。也许我玩得太快了,我觉得故事太短了。当然,这款游戏具有很强的代入感。所以我不自觉地玩到了最后。我真的希望在有生之年能看到这款游戏的续集。就一次。🥺🤧)

I have played part of the content.To tell you the truth, that is also very good.😂

(+1)

希望能再出续作🙏🏻(Hope to have another sequel🙏🏻)

你们能正常下载吗?我的安卓版老是下一半报错403,有没有其他渠道

(+1)

神作神作呀!!。我本以为这些h游戏都会是一个样,但没想到居然有这么高质量的,完美通关之后看着大家团圆的样子,幸福感爆棚啊!泪目了😭😭😭🤧🤧🤧

I have over 200 visual novels in my collection. After my playthroughs. I would put this one in my top ten GOAT.  The story is amazing! Girls are spectacular! Especially the sisters. Animation is pretty good.  Only issue i have is the following. Anyone else get a glitch with the galley? Near the end of my playthrough a lot of the scenes i had unlocked are now locked? Like very near to end of story. And now they are still locked after completion.  ETURNUM is a great one also, Look forward to more from this dev. 

Hey i have a Question about your walkthrough who is chay and how can i befriend him her

SPOILERS

Chhay is the bodyguard & bartender at Jasmine's party. He asks for your ID when you enter the property, that's where you can befriend him.

(+1)

auch okay thx 

(+2)

I HAVE FINISHED THE GAME, AMAZING STORY! and btw MIKEEEE!!!!!!!!

Amazing game honestly stopped fapping halfway through and just played it out for the story lol good game I enjoyed playing it 

(+4)

Ngl i played the game for the story and it did not dissapoint and the dildo guy sences were funny as fuck i enjoyed the game very much.had to replay it to get the ending where you take everyone on the trip for the endin

Yeah, I lost the teacher as well, first time. Still worth it to do it without walkthrough once, then do it with.

I just get shot after the trivia quiz and dont know what to do to survive, is there any way??? Please let me know.

SPOILERS

You must win the gameshow, check the official walkthrough among the game downloads.

(+1)

thank you , i thought i had to go much further back, replayed the whole game up until that point and still got shot. Nevermind, this will help, thanks again.

Это самая лучшая порно игра в которую я играл. Давно я не получал такого наслаждения и веселья от игр. Хотя при первом прохождении я действовал так как действовал бы в реальности и почти не получил никаких секс сцен( 

is it completed or nah?

It's completed

(+1)

I just finished the game and it is the best adult game I've ever played. Thank you for the creator of this; I love your work, bro- hopefully, you make more games like this. I really love the story, and I'm going to play the Eternum, too. Again, I love your games, bro! Please continue the good work😊

Thank you very much!!

My favorite joke it the first ride in the minibus when you got the music and start driving and then the scene changes.
