Discovered Eternum first and fell in love with it through 0.5. Dying for more. Decided to go check out your other game and I was not disappointed. In fact, I was blown away again! You have a gift, my friend. The stories that you create along with these characters! Wow. I just finished Once in a Lifetime and I am so moved by it! Amazing ending. Great work, Caribdis.
Namoral que jogo foda,você e um criador incrível e talentoso Caribdis,tô sem palavras para descrever minha felicidade ao jogar está obra prima,a história e ótima e intrigante,os personagens e suas personalidades são perfeitas,o jogo não e tediante e é muito intuitivo,sem dúvida alguma após terminar este belo game irei jogar Eternum.
Absolutely amazing story. Without a doubt, Caribdis is one of the best developers. However, I wanted to ask if the fans can hope for the release of the second part? The grimoire is still with the protagonist, + heroes can't move around the world forever, and also at the end we see the title "This is just the beginning"? The story can develop further, and I am sure that it will become no less popular. I want to thank you again for such a masterpiece. Thank you, Caribdis and good luck with everything you do;)
Thanks for your reply. In any case, you should know that your fans will always support you in any of your innovations. Good luck and inspiration to you
I created an account, stopped playing halfway, just to comment on how this game is truly a masterpiece. Engaging, entertaining, everything about this is absolute perfection, and I can't wait to play Eternum next after finishing this. Thank you for your hard work!
I seriously have no words for this... an absolute masterpiece. All of the characters are amazing and fully fleshed out. The story and plot is beautiful and is also really funny. Caribdis, you did such a wonderful job on this and I am going to have to donate after completing this. I got the good ending on my first play through (I have already played this 3 times) and it almost made me cry. Thank you for this masterpiece of a game. By the way did I see Darci from Ripples in the background of the lingerie store?
Really great game. Played it twice-first time I didn't even try to follow any paths because the plot was so interesting. Great humor as well. Going to eternum now. Keep up the amazing work!
You could straight up delete everything porn related from the game, and it would still be as good, loved the story. 9/5
I wanted to start playing your other project now, but does the progress saves between versions? If not, I don't even care lmao, keep creating these stories Caribdis!!
When stated in the tags is corruption,what do you mean by that? is the mc / girls got corrupted to doing ntr? is the corrupted business man? im asking first before a i download and try to play
I was planning on playing the Deadspace remake this last couple of days but this game sucked me in and I ended up completing the whole thing right away and forgot Dead Space even existed.
Animation and character designs are great, and the story is way more hilarious and wholesome than it has any right to be. Probably still would have enjoyed the game greatly without any of the porn.
I appreciate having the walkthrough too. Made it real easy to get the ending I wanted.
After finishing the ending stumped me a bit the story was a masterpiece and I’m curious if you’re planing to continue a second game with these characters if so how can we support the development?
When i discover this game i had just tested eternum and i wanted to play something else while it was updated, this is hands down the best game of this style that i have played, amazing story, funny bits and i dont know but the game feels alive, with the background not being blurred images and that characters in the background interact with each other. 10/10 is a must play game
I couldn't agree more. Caribdis you are one hell of a story teller. Your games have it all man, Fantastic story with mystery and suspense, excellent character development, the romance and build up. This game is by far at the top of my list. Now playing Eternum and again I'm blown away, I absolutely love it. Wish you all the best Caridbis.
I played Eternum to the end of V0.5 and now this. HELL I'm going to land deep in you but HOLY COW. Good god. this is good. For real, I can't wait for the games after this one and Eternum.
One of my fav. characters =D But thanks for the game btw =) I actually have a lot of fun playing them, only wishing for me. You are great, or if you get any help, you as a group are great! keep going =)
God damn. After finishing Eternum 0.5 I decided to check out this game. And just like with Eternum, the story and characters are amazing. A porn game where I'm more interested in the plot and character development than the actual pornographic content, to me, makes it the best kind of porn game. It makes those pornographic moments even more enjoyable to me. And I'll admit, I did get emotional in some bits like I did with Eternum. And Stabby Mike, I love you man, you're a true bro.
Hey man, while I was waiting on/holding off on playing the newest Eternum update I decided to check this out. Just like with Eternum you're a fantastic author/story teller. The characters are all three dimensional and engaging, the jokes are funny, and the scenes are great. It's easy to see why the scenes and UI in Eternum are so well done. Not to mention the setup from this to your next game/being in the same universe. Incredible. Keep up the amazing work!
Just finished it. Overall, I did enjoy this game. But I have to mention that some story moments give me a light cringe vibes... Ending is not what I expected it to be, though it still good. Back at the start I expected it to be more perverted than it turns out to be. I did not like the thing with (SPPPPPOOOOOIIIIILLLLLEEEERRRRR) losing path, esp with Judie, after the Japan, where it turns out to be that you need you affection score with her to be a certain lvl, otherwise even after saying that you love her and kissing you end up losing the path with her... Man, that was just stupid and irritated of sort... Where is the logic in this twist?) But anyway Lauren is a the best waifu of this game, thath for sure! Thank you, Carbidis, it was nice experience. 8/10 and I definitely will try ur other project in the nearest future!
Great game. The story definitely didn't go where I thought this kind of game went but boy, did it drag me in. I lost some paths with some girls somehow but the story made it worth it. Looking forward to playing your next game, definitely will have to buy that one though. If it's anything like this it will be well worth the money.
I arrived here after playing Eternum up until version 0.5 - a lovely game, by the way. I decided to give your first game a try, and let me just say, it was awesome! The story, characters, atmosphere, sound, and music were all pure gold. Initially, I came for the sex scenes in Eternum, but I ended up staying for the story and its excellent delivery. I hope you create more masterpieces like this in the future! 10/10 Game!
PS: The Evangelion reference filled me with pure happiness. I'm a huge fan of that franchise, so seeing it in your game made me burst out laughing and enjoy the moment!
I didn't expect to get so attached to this game, Lauren, Judie, Carla and Iris are my favourite indie game female characters. Very cute and well written. 10/10 would recommend.
I've never cried while playing a game. Till today. After I finished the new Eternum 0.5 update I decided to give this game a try. And I thank God I did. After watching Mike die I realized how much I loved each character. Never stop making games Caribdis. Never.
Bro Caribdis I'm literally speechless on your work!! and the fact that you could literally be charging us for the game but decide not to is insane! all the characters that you've made are amazing 😳 especially Luna, Judie, Carla, And Lauren 👏🏿👏🏿 the only bad thing is how it all ends and it leaves us craving for more 🤣😭 I literally did NOT wanna finish once in a lifetime. I almost cried
This is such an amazing game. The best ending literally made me cry. This game is so good, their is so much emotion in it. Honestly one of the best games I've ever played.
Sadly it ends somewhere, thank you for making this game.
It might sound stupid but, is it possible you can make a second once in a lifetime or maybe planning on making it with the same characters? So not it’s ok it’s a really good game!
I definitely recommend checking out Eternum, the newest project by Caribdis. It doesn't feature these characters but it's another really well made story.
hello, this is an amazing game but I currently can't write the code in this abandoned place (where you have to write White, Red, White or something like that). pls help :(
Oh my god what a game!! Best AVN game by far I have ever played . I’m about 80% done and don’t want to continue because then the game will end 😭. Will there be direct sequel to OiaL someday? Do you have any plans regarding this? Or will these characters be in other games you develop, like in Eternum. I want to see how Carla’s pregnancy goes. I want to see how everyone’s life will continue after this. I want more!! Ps. Amazing work! Just amazing.
Hey Bruh, if You enjoy this game try his new project "Eternum" I love Once in a lifetime, but Eternum is even better. PS. If You love to do a lot in games you love try different path of OiaL, there is even ending connecting it with eternum. This just show how this projects are full of love.
Not gonna lie, I installed the game for the spicy content. But 10 minutes later I was so absorbed by the story that I took the H-scenes as a side dish to a massive main course of a Story. I was really sad when I finished the game, because it is way to good. I already played it three times since I got it and I still want to play it again. The only remark I have is that one bad choice ruins the Girl's path. But Mike just makes up for all off that. I really hope Mike makes a return in Eternum (even if it's just a reference).
Would certainly recommend to play!!
Esse est deus
13/10 story, 10/10 humor, 1000/10 just for Mike
edit after playing the 4th time
This time I played to get the complete good ending. Which made me very happy because it's worth the time to play. Also very much recommended to turn on pregnancy because it makes the game so much better.
Yet again highly recommended to play, the game is worthy of your time. Well I should say your time is worthy of this game.
I just wanna say this game is amazing the only thing I had an issue with is how one choice would completely look out some girls and how I couldn't fuck the mom or the rich girl I will say this game is very funny it had me laughing like a maniac on my bed late at night I hope your other works are as funny as this and I really enjoyed 8/10
Dude... im literally here just to say that im so sad that i ended this game... its so good, the girls, the history, everything, i loved this game so much, i wish it continued.. but speaking about the end, would be cool if u did kind of a DLC where u just chill with the girls after you all travel

At the moment I'd say that probably not, I'd rather work on a new game with new characters!

Thank you for donating! 🥰
And yep, it's her! :D
Thank YOU!

You could straight up delete everything porn related from the game, and it would still be as good, loved the story. 9/5
I wanted to start playing your other project now, but does the progress saves between versions? If not, I don't even care lmao, keep creating these stories Caribdis!!
And Mike for president!
Thank you!
Progress on PC is saved between versions of the same game, yes
Show post...
What an incredible game! Graphics, story, models, all great! ❤❤❤
Thank you!
I'm gonna say it, Yakuza/mob boss Mike, might be my favorite iteration.
When stated in the tags is corruption,what do you mean by that? is the mc / girls got corrupted to doing ntr? is the corrupted business man? im asking first before a i download and try to play
There's no ntr
I struggle to get the Aiko Lauren scene. Any tips?
still having trouble?
Yeah, gave up at the moment. Thx, for asking.
I was planning on playing the Deadspace remake this last couple of days but this game sucked me in and I ended up completing the whole thing right away and forgot Dead Space even existed.
Animation and character designs are great, and the story is way more hilarious and wholesome than it has any right to be. Probably still would have enjoyed the game greatly without any of the porn.

I'm working on a new game called Eternum, check it out!
You can support development going to my Subscribestar or Patreon pages!

Awesome, very lovely
It cleansed my soul by how good this story was

Our god Mike has spoken
I played Eternum to the end of V0.5 and now this.
HELL I'm going to land deep in you but HOLY COW.
Good god. this is good.
For real, I can't wait for the games after this one and Eternum.
Oh and.. I will vote for Mikey all the way!
Best president! 😆
One of my fav. characters =D
But thanks for the game btw =)
I actually have a lot of fun playing them, only wishing for me. You are great, or if you get any help, you as a group are great! keep going =)
God damn. After finishing Eternum 0.5 I decided to check out this game. And just like with Eternum, the story and characters are amazing. A porn game where I'm more interested in the plot and character development than the actual pornographic content, to me, makes it the best kind of porn game. It makes those pornographic moments even more enjoyable to me. And I'll admit, I did get emotional in some bits like I did with Eternum. And Stabby Mike, I love you man, you're a true bro.
Thank you so much <3

oh and also save him youl understand later but save him from (spoiler)

Went into this game not expecting much, came out a changed man. Wish I could wipe my memory and play it again 10/10.
Thank you so much!! Glad you liked it

There's a Mike reference in the first build of Eternum! MC says that former President Stabb studied in Kredon
