i LOVE this game, not only because of the very sexy girls (tho its a reason) but also because how engaging and funny it is! Don't miss the opportunity to play this game its free! The story is compelling, the girls are all beautiful, the jokes are funny, the animations are great, What else can i say? 8.5/10 would have LOVED if the cum scenes were also animated but you can't have everything in life. Looking forward to trying Eternum.
Loving Eternum, so I decided to check your other game out, loved this one too. Great story, lovely characters, and while the scenes [obviously] pale in comparison to your more recent masterwork, they're still better than most of the other VNs out there. Amazing to see how much you improved from this game to Eternum with everything, especially the animations. Hope to see Stabby Mike make a cameo appearance in Eternum, if he hasn't already! Thank you for your service Caribdis!
Im almost done with the game and have to say its been amazing so far. The only thing you can really improve are some sound effects during the scenes, I think that would make a big difference. Also I think that it would have been cool to maybe get a chance to get back onto a characters path but that may be personal preference. Really looking forward to Eternum.
The opening may be a bit slow, but you'll be doing yourself a disservice if you don't give it an honest shake. Story is interesting, it definitely gets better over time - there are some very nice elements of horror and mystery... and above all, you simply *have to* acquaint yourself with Mr. Michael Stabb. This is mandatory for all AVN fans. :)
Ignore Joshthedemon or, Just the dumbass as I call them. All they do is pull whinny lil illiterate hissy fits and call people “fat fucks” “fat boy” and berate fans and Devs on multiple threads, tell people to fuck their dad or get raped by their dad’s friends as well as threaten your family… sounds like projection to me, but it’s all there in their comment history for you all to see and report so I clown tf outta them and report it all as well as let each thread they fucked around on find out exactly what they are like. Fuck around find out, dumbass
After playing Eternum I found out that Caribdis made another masterpiece called Once In a Life Time.
What can I say?
I really enjoyed the plot, all the characters, all the artworks and the effort put into this kind of game. Five start fully earned, only because 6 is not allowed!
One of the most memorable games I've played from this site, you are an amazing dev. Keep up the good work, and I can't wait to play eternum when you finish it. Have the same question as the last person though, so let us know how not to lose Rebecca.
There is a mod alerts you if you end a character’s path called “Causality for Once in a Lifetime” here on itch.
As a bonus it doesn’t spoil the game as a walkthrough will.
SPOILERS Most players lose Rebecca's path at Magnus Manor, you must not grab the grimoire.
...Yes the mod can help with these kind of problems, but since you already completed the game, it won't help you much unless you want to start a new playthrough. Thanks for the endorsement though :)
wow.... just wow I can't begin to explain just how much fun I had playing, from the story to each individual character is just well done, and finding out our antagonist was Mc dad was a bigger plot twist than that one Star Wars scene absolutely incredible, also...MIKE IS LITERALLY CARRYING THIS WHOLE GAME NGL I mean damn if there was an award for Best Wingman of the decade Mike would DEFFINETLY win. It was also fun to see eternum being referenced in the end, makes me wish I played this before it; all in all great experience playing for your first game(assuming idk Ur lore) this was pretty fire just imagine what's in store for us in eternum..........
(OK one last bit can anyone tip me on how not to lose Rebecca's path? I've tried to figure out where I went wrong but I'm still stuck :(
Played through multiple times. Coming from Eternum, I can see how your style has naturally evolved from this game. The story is deep, the characters all have their own twists and turns, they're all attractive. It took me way too long to figure out how to stay on Jasmine's path, but it was enjoyable to work out. I wish it kept going. Hurry up and finish Eternum already!
I just ended the game few moments ago and got the best ending, I gotta say this game is one of the best VN I have ever played, the funny scenes made me laugh many times and the ending made me very emotional. I can't wait till you finish ETERNUM. Thank you Caribdis for this masterpiece <3
Im here for eternum , caribdis i wanna say something that eternum was life game changer !! my whole view of gaming experience is changed because of it , seriously the plot was the best thing i ever seen fr i could say its my fav game of all time , i wanna say that i wish you don't stop making it im already getting sad after i finish every new update you release , i guess i talked too much but that little thing to say or describe how much im enjoying this game , please I can't wait for the new version please hurry!! And much love for you my 🐐
Very good game, but I'd prefered more pregnancy themed content. I feel like the pregnancy part only included like 20 sentences. Some kind of short afterstory would have been great.
For curiousity sake: Does Eternum contain Pregnancy ? Maybe more advanced than here?
If it gets added, I will definetly play it. (And If you add some depths to the pregnancy system, I'd be eternally greatful <3)
(Something like, slightly larger belly, characters saying they're pregnant, some consequences with other characters, a fertilization screen after the creampie)
I totally didn't cry at the end of the game...Great story, this could totally work as a show or movie minus the sex stuff, well at least the "insest" stuff. I quotated incest because they aren't related by blood.
well technically it's still incest even if not related by blood, according to some laws... well also depends on the country. like if you're living in a country that has roots in christianity, then it is incest regardless of blood-relation or not, but if it's some other country, they only consider direct relations, like in japan or canada where they allow you to marry your cousin.
Honestly, this game was amazing, I had so much fun. Most fun I've had playing an AVN in the last year. Is the story officially over or do you have any plans with the game or characters going forward? I would love to see Lauren, Judie, Jasmine, Iris, and Aiko again. Sorry if you answered this before and I haven't seen it. I also plan on playing Eternum tomorrow night
For some reason I'm losing Jasmine's Path when im on board the train to Japan, I followed guides online and im not sure where I messed it up. Please help! thx
Implications of impregnation through dialogue (off-set period, pregnancy tests etc) and conversations with loose plot relevance. You're given the choice for it happening.
Consequences don't occur ingame and are instead shown in a few post-credits images.
It doesn't play a very big role tbh in the grand scheme of things.
As I mentioned, it only starts coming up in the endgame where you're given the choice to impregnate each girl. The game takes like 5 hours to play through I'd say
about to replay this game after a year or two, i just finished 0.6 of eternum and decided id go through this with a walkthrough. Before i go just wanted to say im happy for you caribdis since you got all the love and support you deserve. OIAL was the first avn i ever played and it set my standards so high i barely find anything to play outside of your work. Seriously, stop being so damn good at making games.
Knightley passions , Android life , Randel tales , Shuggerlain, Terrene , Dream Scape by dummy delta , Naruto :Shinobi Lord and Space paws are also amazing games.
Just finished this one and am already waiting for the next patch in Eternum. And I very much hope to see further of some of the characters, as I suppose the "Best" ending is the canon ending for the game itself. I notice several other characters from other games that did seem to find their way into the game. I believe I even by chance saw a Darci model from Ripples. Though she could by chance be used for several other games and novels a well, so I have no idea if by chance that her within one scene of the game in the background of the store was.
Spoilers Past this point
I will say, I am however more surprised not a single person mentions the fun prospect of certain characters if you take the Astaroth ending and corrupt both the girls. It would be interesting if by chance we might get a further update of the game as some point with perhaps a further small storyline into how the girls themselves might have turned out if you take the ending. As well with how the world itself might be reshaped by the MC as Astaroth now.
It honest it could be a small project to take up and create a further continuation of the story from a darker side. Which from the looks Eternum already has some dark story elements within itself as well, so it wouldn't be new area to explore into. Though given I don't believe this project has been touched in two years now, I believe that's not likely to happen unfortunately.
I however enjoy the game and do plan to play another playthrough of it soon and am Looking forward to the next chapter of Eternum when it finally releases.
Caribdis don't miss, seriously. One of the if not the best visual novels I played ever. story 10/10, characters 10/10, Even the for the music they don't miss. Seriously, if you're looking for high quality story driven with nsfw content this is the one you're looking for. Kudos to the creators!! keep it upppp, hoping for more content to come <3
MY GOD this is definitely the best novel I have ever played. It’s so fucking good. I finished it today and I am so fucking sad I got the single-girl ending because I didn’t fucking freed Mike at the prison. I knew I was doing something wrong but the flow of the game was so good I forgot, everything went as normal.
Sigh, I came back and replayed the game with a walkthrough, my only mistakes were not freeing Mike and getting the first “potion” instead of the aphrodisiac. Unfortunately somethings can only happen Once in a Lifetime, so it felt a bit fake.
game. funny af almost forgotten it was a xxx game at times and it still the best xxx game i play btw free mike he a homie now btw where the dead rat at i couldnt find it when my guy brought it up
This visual novel is simply excellent, both in terms of the plot and the characters, and the jokes made me laugh more than once. I finished it yesterday after spending more than ten hours non-stop and .I had seen an excellent film whose storyline I could influence.
Unfortunately I can't help you financially at the moment, but I noticed that you don't have an official website. Having quite good knowledge in web development (full-stack), I was wondering if you would be interested in having your own site and/or an online version (playable from a browser) of your creations. I would do this for free, but since it would be in my free time I wouldn't be able to meet strict deadlines.
If you're interested, let me know in the comments and I'll get back to you.
Hi, no offense but it seems like you haven't played a lot of adult games. Summertime Saga and Once in a Lifetime belong to different genres. As you already mentioned, Summertime Saga focuses on freedom and variety while Once in a Lifetime focuses on story. It's intended this way. Both games are very popular in their respective genres!
You should also know that this is a completed game and any major improvements you suggest are most likely not going to happen.
Okay, so I was sucked into the story and kept playing until I finished the game. This is the perfect amount of seriousness and comedy that gives the caricatures depth as well as proper character arcs. This continues into the execution of the explicit scenes that you can have with the girls in that (if you turn the option on) you can impregnate the girls and this will have story repercussions. Also while on the subject of the explicit scenes they don't feel forced in, unlike some other 18+ visual novels that I played. In terms of this writing, it's one of the best I played there as this is a story with erotica rather than the more common erotica with, very little, story.
The only issues I have with the game are that: 1. the Gallery is inaccessible from the Main Menu/Title screen, and 2. many of the minor or background characters you'll see use the same general character design with very minor changes to the model textures, which makes it hard to tell if they are foreshadowing by characters being in the same space or if it's just someone else entirely.
But even with those two shortcomings, I would still give this game a perfect 10/10.

i LOVE this game, not only because of the very sexy girls (tho its a reason) but also because how engaging and funny it is! Don't miss the opportunity to play this game its free! The story is compelling, the girls are all beautiful, the jokes are funny, the animations are great, What else can i say? 8.5/10 would have LOVED if the cum scenes were also animated but you can't have everything in life. Looking forward to trying Eternum.
Hope you like Eternum!
Loving Eternum, so I decided to check your other game out, loved this one too.

Thank you for your service Caribdis!

I hope you enjoy Eternum!
This game already finished?
Yes
Coming from Eternum here.
It was very boring.
No matter how hard I push myself to play it I just can't , but since the comments are saying its Masterpiece. I still want to give it a chance !
o
r perhaps the first 20 minutes isn't where the plot gets Intresting ?Please prove me wrong , Let me know !
The opening may be a bit slow, but you'll be doing yourself a disservice if you don't give it an honest shake. Story is interesting, it definitely gets better over time - there are some very nice elements of horror and mystery... and above all, you simply *have to* acquaint yourself with Mr. Michael Stabb.

How do I get Rebecca's final scene? I've follow walkthroughs and the highest I can get her is 17. No matter what I do her path dies.
SPOILERS
Most players lose Rebecca's path at Magnus Manor, you must not grab the grimoire.
Ignore Joshthedemon or, Just the dumbass as I call them. All they do is pull whinny lil illiterate hissy fits and call people “fat fucks” “fat boy” and berate fans and Devs on multiple threads, tell people to fuck their dad or get raped by their dad’s friends as well as threaten your family… sounds like projection to me, but it’s all there in their comment history for you all to see and report so I clown tf outta them and report it all as well as let each thread they fucked around on find out exactly what they are like.

NVM i figured it out, amazing game btw. cant wait for eternum updates!!
Thanks!
onestly fuck the nudity the story is waaaaaaay better then most game I have seen
For real though
Question: What is the depth of the pregnancy system?
Implications of impregnation through dialogue (off-set period, pregnancy tests etc) and conversations with loose plot relevance. You're given the choice for it happening.
Consequences don't occur ingame and are instead shown in a few post-credits images.
How big of a role does it play in the game? And, really, how time consuming is the game in general?
It doesn't play a very big role tbh in the grand scheme of things.
As I mentioned, it only starts coming up in the endgame where you're given the choice to impregnate each girl. The game takes like 5 hours to play through I'd say
Brother, why is there no other language? Please update the version in other languages. I believe more people will like it
I am in the middle of game and enjoying it and never expected that story would turn out be that good .
about to replay this game after a year or two, i just finished 0.6 of eternum and decided id go through this with a walkthrough.

All the characters are amazing and each scene is very epic.
Thank you Caribdis for making this art, looking forward to playing Eternumm :)
Thank you for playing!

Two things: well done and thank you

Thank you again and good luck
Thank you so much!
That sounds interesting, feel free to DM me on Discord about it!
I sent you a dm (username: z6sfx8_59511)
Amazing!
SPOILER WARNING
I was wondering if Rebecca can brought along to the end. I lose her path at her wedding. I've got 17/20 progress at that point.
Don't grab the book and talk to the priest at the wedding.
Ah. Makes sense. Thanks.
alright, am i the only one who feels bad for fucking with tom's memory?
like yeah, he was a dick, but it just feels wrong.
