Once in a Lifetime

Hello Caribdis👋👋!!!

Yeah it's me bobbycue, I'm here in the comments again. I really enjoyed the game everytime I restart and finish it again for the 3rd time now.

WARNING!!! SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

Btw, I just wanna ask for help, how can I stop Rebecca's wedding? I tried every song to play, I tried not changing the song, I tried not talking to the priest, I tried talking only to the sitting guest but I'm still getting send away. I know it's possible to stop the wedding cuz there's a scene in the very last page of gallery that I'm sure has Rebecca in it. I haven't unlocked the scene, but I can tell it's Rebecca she's my second fav girl in the game(the first one was Carla w/ her hair untied). Is it maybe because of the paths? I've only got 17/20 in Rebecca's path. I hope someone can help me, thanks in advance and THANK YOU CARIBDIS FOR THIS MAGNIFICENT GAME!!!! Support eternum!!!

Long story short: Play this! Give it a shot! It's worth your time, I *promise*.

Going into this game I wasn't expecting much. Something about the dialogue was a bit clunky, and I was not a fan of how the main character looked. But, I stuck it out and my god am I glad I did. This game is fantastic, each of the main characters has a deep character (especially for the genre), the dialogue only gets witter and more well written as the game progresses, and the main plot, while not something I was interested in to begin with, hooked me by the end and I can honestly say that when I completed this game I felt that same empty feeling in my chest that I get when I finish, say, a long-running TV show or a good JRPG. The ending was phenomenal (and the song choice was superb, I came very close to getting choked up), and I am downright flabbergasted at how much I enjoyed the characters, humor, story, and overall presentation of what was supposed to just be a porn game. I've laughed at other games on this site, but none before have made me downright bust my gut laughing out loud. I cannot stress enough genuinely witty this game is with it's camera, dialogue, and knowledge of unspoken humor (like Tom beating up the one guy in the background). On top of that, this game managed to capture my emotion in a way that few have. The reveal of the pilot's indentity at the end in particular roused a (probably too loud) overjoyed shout. Magnificient work here, Caribdis. I'm just sad that I can't recommend this to my friends in a normal context, lol.

I've played this before so I already knew it was good (Eternum is, unsurprisingly, even better! Really looking forward to and can't wait for updates to that!).

Noticing things this playthrough than I didn't the last time. Namely, during the costume party I cheated like a mofo scrolling back til I answered correctly, meanwhile this time I noticed Chhay being a good friend helping us cheat in the background.

Wonder what else I'll notice that I didn't the first time around

Im going to keep this short since my review was long enough but I can't tell you how much I love this game. I love every aspect of the game and im waiting in anticipation for more eternum updates I already know it's going to be good without playing it for a single second. Keep up your writing style I love it! <3

Hello! I wanted to download this game on my mac however, I am unable to do so because "This title is hosted on an incompatible third party website". Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue? Thanks

I discovered you thanks to eternum, which is, btw, one of the best lewd games I've  ever played. I can't wait to see what's next on the next update. So, in the wait, I decided to try this game, that is also a lot of fun, and I'm really enjoying it.

However, I have a problem with Lauren's route. On the massage scene, no matter what I do, I loose her path, and I don't think it's supposed to be that way? 

Thanks for your great games!

Hello, the best porn games I played so far. Can I ask what song did you use at the end of the game? (Slideshow with all the girls)

I often miss playing this game when I play other games lol

Is it possible to import save games from a browser version to the apk?

Never thought I'd enjoy an adult game enough to want to go play it again to go through different story options and find things I missed (for example you can see the guy that got hurt in the pool before the story tells you the bathroom is closed). 

What stands out are the writing and the models. You're able to slip in humor to help develop the relationships which makes the moments of tension really immersive. 

And of course the woman are hot without relying on cartoonish proportions.

Easily the best adult visual novel out there, at least until eternum is complete ;)

I really wish I was in a better financial position to support your patreon. You've really earned it and I definitely owe you for what you provided.

Finally, after experiencing a variety of possible outcomes, I completed the game and received the best ending. The ending I desired was for Mike to be alive again and be able to have girls come with the MC to start a new life. After Astaroth shot Mike, I assumed he was dead. 

The plot of this is game incredible, I didn't think his father was his all-time enemy after all.

I really enjoy the game, and I'm looking forward to trying out Eterum.

Some scene are missing in the gallery even im playthrough the scenes, can someone help me. Im use android version btw. Pls help :(

I just got done playing it. Great story, great characters, especially Mike and the new Tom, who are both funny and kind, and so on. It's a game that I really enjoy playing. I eagerly await the next update! PH's heartfelt greetings

Hi! Bro, you're great, great story, heartfelt, continue in the same spirit, very interesting. Thanks! With love from Ukraine.

Honestly I had low expectation after downloading this. I recognize myself as a clown now. This game is a true balance between a good story, comedy, plots, it doesn't have the issue of being boring while reading sometimes. And of course the "Hentai" part, good scenes, well timed, everything is perfect. 10/10 (I really want more story but that might affect other things that are already good enough)

My goodness! This game is beyond my expectation. Absolute 100/10!

Just warning anyone wondering, this is strictly a one line road. Nothing like harem hotel where your choose where you go. Also there are a freaking ton of annoying questions that you're gonna have to go to Google for unless you are extremely smart.

I just started downloading the game, this is 4.7 GB's, it better be good...

Is there anal in this and/or Eternum?
These look great, just anal is a big fetish of mine, so really only interested in games with that. Otherwise it's just all teasing for me.

Loved the game! Can't wait for Eternum to be complete. I love the characters, the art and the humor. Stabby Mike is a legend!!!

Wonderful game! Loved the characters, the story. The writing was amazing and had me laughing at so many points and had me feeling for all the characters. Going to go threw all the endings now and I'm immensely excited for your other games. :)

I'm really enjoying this game, but I just wanted to leave a minor note for the japanese section

You don't need to include watashi or anata. Those are usually implied and it'll sound more natural without it. Not a huge deal though. Doesn't ruin the game or anything c:

Finished playing this game and god it was so good, the  story, the girls, the comedy, and of course the sex scenes were top tier. This game actually raised my standards on what an adult game should be. Your new game looks very promising too. Thanks for making this game.

Ps. Does someone know games like this that are finished? 

Very cool and funny game with a nice story !

Many ending depending of your choices.
So far, I only tested the Harem and Astaroth ending (without the waltkthough). Maybe I will try each ending just to replay the game.

Eternum is also cool. Looking out for a new version :)

When I started playing this game, it was mainly because of fap and chill. But man I literally cried and became emotional after finishing it. Caribdis, I just wanna say man, thank u. The references of some movies and series to humor, transitions, character development, scenes...I can go on all day. Hands down ONE OF THE greatest if not THE greatest adult games of all time. The only adult game where the story had me so addicted to it, along with the scenes of course. You are definitely a man of culture to give those funny and cool references xD. The side characters (Mike and Jack) especially their faces and acts, god I literally laughed my a** off. And also thanks for the walkthrough man, there were some choices that were hard and I am a bit dumb xD.
Highly recommended to everyone. This is not just an adult game, it is THE adult game. Can't wait for Eternum's release. Good luck man with your journey, keep it up.

Man I just finished the game and holy shit this as to be one of the best adult games I have ever played!

I really enjoyed the story and to be honest I didn't expect something as fleshed out and high quality as what I got. The fact that there are multiple endings based on what you decided in the story is just the cherry on top.

But HOLY SHIT MAN some of these side characters are just fucking incredible. I can't tell how many times you had me fucking rolling during certain scenes/reveals. I don't want to spoil things for other people but PLEASE try this game even if only for the fact that the humour is fucking HILARIOUS (Bro, Mike and Jack fucking killed me + the MCs faces during certain scenes 10/10).

Also thanks for including a walkthrough with the game. It helped me a lot because sometimes I've dumb af and ended some girls routes early.

I downloaded the game for free but i'm letting you know I enjoyed it so much, that I'm going back to buy it to pay you back for the wild ride that you have put me on.

Definitely trying out Eternum next!

I'll be watching your stuff in the future. Cheers :)

To anyone wondering if this games is what they are expecting, no its not, its beyond that.

I had a question. I like to use the desktop app of itch.io as it provides easy access and an easy way to update games but I noticed this one is only on other sites and locations, such as google drive while your other game (Eternum, great game by the way, wish we had more Nancy content rn so I'm looking forward to the update) is installable directly on the itch desktop app. Is this due to file size or is there some other factor?

Regardless, keep making great games, and I appreciate the fact that they're free. 

i would like to start by saying that i didn't think that i would actually get this sad over a game but i did, i came to OIAL mainly because of sexual content, and now ending the game, i didn't notice it at first but i have made an attachment to these characters, all the women i met and all the things i did to get them, now im having post game depression, its a good game, looking forward to the next one

                                                                                           -- hatered

Holy fuck!  I just finished this game, and this game is INCREDIBLE.  I've said the same thing about Eternum, but this game invokes ALL emotions on the spectrum.  The story is SO good and immersive.  Caribdis is such an amazing story-teller!  I wish that I could play it for the first time again.

Love the game a lot. Please keep up the good work.

Hello, I have a problem. On day 4 of the village part of the game I lose Judie's path and I don't know why. I looked at the walkthrough and it says that on day 1 at the ramen place you have to say "I'd like you better without it", but I don't get the prompt to say that. Does it have something to do with how many points I have with her at that point (because I had 14 points)? Please help, I don't wanna lose her path.

Also: is there a guide that specifically shows how to get points for each character, because the other guides don't exactly mention it?

I still cant believe you did both of these games by yourself. Way to go buddy even some big developers that made games don’t have as good storyline or character development as you do. Keep up the good work I’m supporting you 100% and I also want to apologize for my dumb question that I asked :).

I needed to use VPN to into this game's site ( https://caribdis.itch.io/once-in-a-lifetime) and also needed VPN to download the game as well . May I know why? Cause I don't get this problem with other games in itch.io

Also, the game was great! I finished it in under 4h, unlocked all the adult scenes and also got the best ending. Took 2 tries tho.

Happy New Year, Caribdis! :)
