Once in a Lifetime

Damn Caribdis, I never thought I would enjoyed this game a lot.

I had low expectation because I never play 3D AVN that have girls design like these.

I love the story, the jokes, the references, and the most important things, I like all the characters and the girls, but my favourites are rebecca and carla!!

And the sex scenes,, oh my god the sex scenes (*chef's kiss*) are so hot and beautiful!

On my first playthrough I got all the girls, and I like the ending so much.

I donated some amount to support you, it's not much, but I hope that helps.

Sorry I cannot support you on patreon, but I can't wait for the full version of Eternum. I haven't tried the game, but I will soon.

Thank you Caribdis!!

u had me crying caribdis 

10/10, lauren is the best girl but i miss rebecca

You did an amazing job with this game, and if it wasn't for my current financial standing, I would at the very least support you on Patreon. Seriously, you did good, never stop pouring your heart into your work. You're awesome and talented, and I cannot wait for eternum to be finished!

I'm not sure what I was expecting when I started playing but holy shit did you deliver. I find it difficult to even find a part in the game that I didn't like, it was a fun escape for the time it took me and thanks for all the effort you put into it. Looking forward to your future work and wish you the best in the future.

Caribdis, the only thing I can say is Bravo. This is a masterful work. 

You have done something absolutely amazing with this project: making a funny and dramatic sex game and bringing it to completion. It's made me cry a little, laugh many times, and orgasm many many more. And you've left it online as a pay-as-you-will game. 

You will be the first developer that's gotten me to pay for a porn game. I am not in a place where I can support on patreon at the moment, but I will absolutely tip my hat and my wallet to this amazing performance.

Best of luck with your ongoing endeavers with Eternum. I will follow your work with great interest. (As soon as I finish my second runthrough of this game)

PS and easter egg spoilers: Could you please confirm that the flamboyant fun-loving man we are introduced to in Japan is Linus (sexy tech tips) Sebastion or a parody of him? That was the best easter egg/reference that I've found in the game, and made me actually laugh out loud for about 5 minutes.

I just finished Eternum 0.2 but when I downloaded it, I was on safari and it went to the top right like it should and then I was able to open on Finder and play. However when I clicked on download for Mac on this game it took me to the Mega File website. It then said I had to open in chrome so I did that and now its downloading (in the chrome browser not safari as in safari it kept saying file too big). Is this meant to happen? The download is taking abit longer than Eternum and that's fine since this is a completed game but I don't want to wait and then not be able to play cos of a problem. Is everything fine with my download?

Your game is amazing. I've just finished it and I LOVED it.

The story is catchy, the graphisms are good, the characters are really well writen and the sex scenes are fricking hot.

I must say I've been infuriated for a moment tho, when I got the "solo" ending and thought it was the "good" one. But when I understood we could get a harem ending I immediatly bindge your game again, made things right and... OMG I must admit I've been really moved by the ending. It was perfect. Maybe it could be useful to add a message at the and warning players that there is a "harem ending" when they didn't get it ? I'm guessing I'm not the only one who didn't understand that immediatly.

Anyway, thank you for this great game, it's clearly one of the best I've played ever, I will remember it for a long time. I'm immediatly trying Eternum !

PS : [Warning, Spoilers] It's funny but I think that my favorite pic, that I will remember the longest and that moved me the most is not a sex scene. It's when we're at Rebecca's wedding and we made the pianist play another song (Evangelion for me) and Rebecca looks at us understanding it's our doing and start smiling. Her lovely smile, her noble posture, (the final points making her love a 20/20), her amazing dress, EVERYTHING was absolutly perfect at this very moment. Clearly the best sight of the game to me. She stole my heart at this moment. (but hey, thanks for the harem end, I still couldn't have abandonned Lauren, Carla or Jasmine)

I just want to take the time to say that I love this game so much. It's - hands down - one of the best games I've ever played. The characters look great and the animations are well done. The quality is high enough that you can find yourself getting lost in the scenes - totally immersed. The girls are so loveable and the story will fill you with laughs, tears, and all sorts of other strong, genuine emotions. This game was made with love and it shows. I can't recommend this game enough. 

Furthermore, I've just caught up on the latest version of Eternum after playing this game. It's a blast as well, so if you like Once In A Lifetime, then please give Eternum a chance too!

MAN. I just finished this like, 2 seconds ago. Gonna be real that ending legit brought tears to my eyes. I'm so sad it's over, but that's just a sign that you achieved something real here. It's funny how all these silly harem sex games can have stories that feel so ironically human. It was so damn funny too. Anyway, starting your other game like. Now. I need MOOOOOOOOOOOOORE. PS. Judie Stabby Mike is best girl

I made an account just because I wanted to tell you how much I really loved and enjoyed your game. Thank you so much for the entertainment you've created which is helping me through my depression. Keep up the great work! 😁

love the game 5/5 I download 1.0 ver but on the main menu it still says 0.10 is that right or am i dumb

It won't let me download on mega because I have a free account, Google drive doesn't work because "Too many users have viewed or downloaded this file recently." and go file says it doesn't exist.

Can you add the girl's names to the "Path" screen? It took me forever to figure out who each picture was...

This only became an issue when I 'lost the path' of the middle girl on the right. I have managed to stay on path for all the girls, but once Aiko enters the story, I'd lose the middle girl. I had restart and save right before the train to Japan to figure out that I was losing Jasmine. Once her father knocks on the cabin door, you lose her path. I'm on path with Lauren, Judie, Carla and Rebecca, but I can't seem to keep Jasmine...

Is it possible to stay on the path for all the girls simultaneously? Also, once you've the path with a girl, can you get back on path with them?

Amazing VN! I loved every second of playing it! i laught so much at some points, i rarely did that before in any game! 5 out of 5 Stars, just like Hiromi, you getting an amazing Review! I will defenatly download Eternum. Keep up the good work! <3 much love <3

Hi Caribdis, fantastic work on both this game and Eternum! Others have said it before, but the plot really has some legs in both games, kept me intrigued the whole way through. There's some seriously funny moments in them too, I couldn't stop laughing at one point in Eternum! But most of all I love how heartwarming it is, you have yourself a new fan.

I especially loved the theme music in the main menu of this game, what's the song? Cheers :)

will you fix the download links? cuz none of them work for me, since its too big for mega

I LOVED the whole story and will be downloading eternum as well. Also loved all the anime references

Hey, I messed up when taking the Grimoire and haven't save at this moment. Is there a way for me to come back? I'm at the wedding and would like to keep Rebecca's path (not very cool that the game says we're still following her path until then imo)

I really enjoy the game so far without following the walkthrough but I messed up here :(

Thanks in advance!

It turned out that Stabby Mike is the true heroine 😂😂😂

I loved this game and how the story played, i hope eternum has longer story than this game 

Question! Are there any scenes with a femboy or twink? Or a Gloryhole scene?

just asking but are you fully finished with this game?

You know its me again, I'm replaying the game and I realized in version 1.0 you are a fan of Cole Porter. Love to meet others that share my passion. Love your games so far. Super excited for 0.3 of Eternum as well. Keep it up dude!

I was one minute away from coming back to pay $20 for the game. Halfway through the game I wanted to pay $10. By the public bath segment in Japan, I wanted to pay $20. I thought I finish the game first. There I was, in the plane, having defeated the big bad in almost exactly the way I envisioned, and suddenly I was forced to choose one girl. I can appreciate that the harem ending is like an Easter egg ending, and I wasn't looking for that. But why the hell was it that I could not choose either to stay with the girls in England (even though I was more powerful than the big bad going up against an organization that already had its back broken, by me without powers) or at least leave by myself? Being forced to pick one when I loved at least two girls equally left a bad taste in my mouth.

I need some time to reflect. This is such a great game. Well deserving its high rating. It's almost a shame the adult content prevents all the humor, the pop culture references, the creative segments, and the trivia from being enjoyed by a bigger audience.

[I decided to pay $15 now and save $5 for Eternum. I was reminded of Mass Effect 3's ending. However controversial it was, it did not take away from the brilliance of the trilogy. I was also reminded of that pompous ass Ken Levine and his ridiculous "Would you kindly." One freedom retained by all players of all video games is to reject all choices offered and stop playing. Coming in the middle of a game, you end up not having a game. Coming at the end, though, I feel like I am making my own ending, better than the token ending Caribdis made for the individual girls. In a way, that is Caribdis' final stroke of genius.

Besides, I grew up on that song playing in the men's public bath. I never thought it could fit so well into a video game.

Best of luck on Eternum, Cribdis. Show us Once in a Lifetime isn't a once in a lifetime.]

I cant get the game to install. its saying its hosted on a third party site that is not compatible. Can anyone help me?

I know people have heaped praise on this game, but I literally made this account just to add more.

Every character is amazing, and not just the girls. I don't think I've enjoyed male characters like Stabby Mike, Jack, Tom, and Oliver in even non-H games.

The story is absolutely amazing, I was finding myself playing through it just to see how it developed. All of the choices mattered, and I found myself remembering something I did much earlier in the game coming back to help/hurt me on various routes way past where most other creators would have forgotten.

There's not that many scenes with sound or music, but when they exist it's always 100% appropriate and it really makes me feel like this game was made with love down to the most minute details.

The porn scenes are also incredible, many others with physical models are simply unable to replicate the animation quality in all respects that this game manages to pull off. And there's easily dozens of these truly incredible scenes along with many more that are simpler, albeit still amazing in their own right.

The ending I got following a guide legitimately made me tear up a little bit, it was genuinely impactful and it felt like an amazing, beautiful, and truly well written closing to the best visual novel type games I have ever played.

Caribdis, if I ever manage to come into a million dollars I'll make sure to send you enough to express how I feel in a way that words currently fail me.
