Such a great game! I expected the instructions to be useless, but I didn't expect that my choices would change the line. For example in the game's images, the player has sex with everyone. But my choices made me have sex with rebecca only 3 times i guess?, And the only thing I didn't like was ((some of the dialogues)) that were lifeless, i mean no background music, no sounds, literally nothing. I felt a bit strange. But to be honest the game is great. Much love <33
Caribdis has an email, or another way to contact directly? I'm making a translation to portuguese, and I would like to know if he would be interested in publishing once I'm done.
This is a really fun game, full of beauty. However, the conditions for its good ending are too harsh. It is recommended to add a guide for players to follow.
I made a mod that does exactly that: https://tanxui.itch.io/causality-oialt. Also, there's a written walkthrough made by the dev among the game downloads.
Getting the best ending with all the girls is quite difficult, yeah. And messing up hurts, since the game is so well made and now you get to play less of it.
I don't really get why the game title is "Once in a lifetime", shouldn't it be more related to the main story. The main story is basically about supernatural shit and demonic cult stuff.
Also the story is pretty linear, the only thing that will change is your relationship with the girls.
The game forces you to pursue the stepsisters. Most of the time in game, you'll spending time with them, and some of the side girls have very little screen time which is unfortunate if you prefer them. And the game will also make it clear that you fuckin suck and makes you feel bad if you don't pursue the stepsisters route which is kind of funny.
The only good thing about the story is my GOAT Stabby Mike and the comedy in the story. That what makes me keep playing this. I would have dropped this game if it weren't for Mike. And also for the surpising funny cameos in the game which I won't mention.
So, apparently ENF means "embarassed nude female" and refers to a girl getting caught off guard while naked, potentially while being photographed or filmed. And she has to be embarrassed about it, likely trying to cover her private parts.
I would say the game does not have that. It has the usual porn tropes like peeping or accidentally walking in on someone showering, but never focuses on embarrassment or humiliation, and especially not on recording the encounter.
Ah, I suppose that IS a definition of ENF. The way the girls were covering themselves on the cover made me think embarrassment at being seen nude was a factor in a scene or two. Don't worry, I'm fine with this game having it or not having it, since it looks good regardless! <3
Just replayed through the game again, and holy crap did I forget so much. I think I even missed a lot the first time. So many laughs and emotions, a dark story with a lot of good twists, and such a good ending.
But the best part was by far STABBY MIKE! Just seeing him show up over and over again was way funnier than it should've been.
You can also see the improvement in quality as the story continues. Overall, just a phenomenal game.
This game introduced me to visual novels, and boy did it set the standard high. Other than Eternum, I haven't found one quite as good. I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did.
Agreed. Stabby Mike is such an amazing character. That he just keeps turning up in different circumstances is a complete gem of writing. I think I saw him as a cameo in another game recently. I'd love for him to show up in Eternum, even briefly, if it could be done in a clever way that doesn't break the immersion of the very different story.
Just reply good on firstquestion round 2 send the lil stepsis (i forgot her name) after send the other sister after you send the mother and you go to guess the price and you win (idk if you talked about this part of the game so sorry if i missunderstanded)
The choices questions you can figure out by using save and reload. The first round where you need to send somebody, choose judy. In the second round where you have to race, send Judy again. In the fighting round, you can send anyone cuz you cant get any points no matter who. In the mentalist game, send Carla. And in the price guessing game, use save and reload to guess the correct price or the closest price. The dinosaurs price choice is "its fucking pricesless"
I finally played and finished your game ONCE IN A LIFETIME. It was one of if not the best game i ever played. I felt a great sadness when it ended because I wished it could go on forever. Thank you for creating such a masterpiece.
Please create more games like this one, it's amazing, the animations are perfect, everything. Unlike the other game Eternum, which unfortunately leaves something to be desired in the scenes due to poor optimization and crashes in the scenes.
I usually don't comment and don't pay for games, but I must say, this game is really great, the girls, the role, tricky if you want to finish with all the girls, and after some tries I finally make it, I just loved, congratulations to the creators, It was something and I will support you for this
Hey okay beautiful game man just finished it and it fking beautiful even made me tear up got the good end 🫶🏻im so happy for mc he deserves it all and so do all the ladys brilliant writing whole thing is beautiful got me attached so much i loved it now i move on to your next game 10000/10
To any one who downvote just shows your a kid and don't appreciate good writing and hard work so this is for the haters🖕🏻and choke on it.
I usually dont comment on the adult games i play on here but this game is just so good that i had to. The story is fun, the humor hits different and the NSFW content is good too. Never in my life did i expect to cry laugh at a game i got to get off... but here we are
Downloaded it for free to try it out, and already just came back to pay after playing for an hour or so--super impressed so far! Looking forward to trying Eternum once it's complete the way this is.
100000% rexcomended. I've replayed Eternum like 6 times, it's the best in the genre for a reason haha. It's better in every way. But this is still a classic.
Once again, please do not trust anybody in any comment section!
The latest scam strategy seems to be multiple fake accounts accusing each other, claiming that they are the legit dev. Meanwhile, they actually all link to the same Patreon page with a malicious download link and no payment set up to avoid being traced.
"What's the worst that can happen?" - You're playing a game of wits against someone who wants to exploit you. And you can't even win, the best outcome for you is that nothing happens. So why play that game at all?
Even experts on scams have gotten scammed in the past, so don't get complacent please.
Oh, then I apologize for my reaction. If you just looked at the files with Winrar then you're probably fine. I recommend updating Winrar somewhat regularly since there could be vulnerabilities in outdated versions.
If you want to be extra safe, scan your system with an antivirus you trust. You should do that anyway if you play adult games that you got off the internet.
Don't worry, if you didn't execute any of the files in there you should probablly be good. If you wanna make sure, run a scan on your anti-virus just to be safe and be careful next time man, i'm not trying to say that in a rude way, just making sure you be careful 'cause i've been there once too. Also highly reccomend that whenever you download something, pass it through virustotal.com just to make sure, if the file is too heavy for that then just scan the more sus ones (.exe, .bat, etc.). Anyways, have a good day
They're not anime-style I believe (I don't find Eternum anime style? xD), but I liked Acting Lessons and Being a Dik from Dr. PinkCake a lot, in case you don't mind they cattering to some heavy topics (more for AL, BaD!k is more chill), the second is still underway.
Now & Then from ILSProductions is also quite cool with a good story, I liked the flow of it a lot despite the main romance at the start being girls who just turned 18 x.x In case you're not into that, some older women more in line with the MC age appear throughout the story as romance interests as well
Liked playing all three of em, waiting for Being a Dik's new episode(I'm on Sage path)...Tbh I'm at that stage when it's hard to find an avn with good story, to be more precise overall everything...Some favourite games even got abandoned or the authors are taking a long break..So that's that
Nice, I made saves for more than one path, but my main one was Isabella. And it seems like you saw a lot, so not sure if I have any to recommend. Besides others that I saw people talking more about there is one that I liked and you might not have seen:
Night Sucks: If you don't mind the *** scenes not having animations, this AVN with cartoon artwork has a cool story and I found quite fun, but probably the last night will take a while. First night is free on Steam, and second night came out last year, if *Night Three* take as long, it should come out in 2 years~
First VN I played ever and wasn't sure if I like them or not so I was happy that I could play this for free and test. Man, after I played and enjoyed many hours with this I had to come back and make purchase just to support your great game and storytelling this has. Liked a lot, both NSFW content and the story around it with good pacing. Keep up the good work!
once in a lifetime- 10/10 (messy hair)- c- in no uncertain terms, no matter how short this ends up being, this is the best AVN ive played to date.
OiaLt is one of the best of the genre, which is especially surprising considering being Cari's first (public) work.
it shows the talent and skill in his writing and storytelling prowess with good, wholesome romances and a story that doesnt let you go once it picks up. i didnt expect to be up reading all night, but here i am. (except how the MILFs started, what the fuck mate?)
I don't know if you ever go back on your completed projects to look at the comments but just in case wanted to let you know that this shit is peak content. I don't think I've ever laughed as hard before. I love how fucking stupid the MC is, makes for great comedy.
Holy moly you actually responded! Since I have your attention, If I subscribe to your patreon does that support your eternum too? Or do you have two different patrons?
Also is patreon best way to support or would you prefer another way? I've already downloaded your games for free, I just want to give you money cuz I'm having such a good time.

Peak avn game, best ive ever played
The dad, Charles, looks like Hideo Kojima. Must've been invisible to the people who didn't comment it? 📦
请问一下，我下载后将UnRen.bat放在与exe文件同级的位置，但为何中文翻译无法生效？有大佬知道原因吗？还是我放错位置了？
Hey caribdis, is there a new update to this game i dont think i seen it or are you done wit Once in a lifetime
games finished, caribdisis working on there new game Eternum.
Caribdis has an email, or another way to contact directly? I'm making a translation to portuguese, and I would like to know if he would be interested in publishing once I'm done.
I think it's best contacting him on Discord.
Hm, I tried, but he configured to only receive message from friends. I send a massage on his reddit and twitter/X, I hope he does reply me.
Didn't expect it to be hilarious, might as well try your other game
Eternum is way higher quality!
I made an account just to say how absolutely peak this game was.
10/10 game I can't lie and it's one of my top 10 games.
Also stabby mike is the GOAT
PLEASE continue making more games like this 🙏
Tottaly man hasdhad stabby mike besto character xD
亲爱的作者，可以出个中文版的嘛，真心感谢
有中文版的啊 永恒世界也有
it says incompatible 3rd party website how do i fix this?
Use a regular webbrowser to download the game instead of the Itch app.
thank you

The game is pretty alright imo.

From the cover image I have to ask. Does this game have ENF in it?
So, apparently ENF means "embarassed nude female" and refers to a girl getting caught off guard while naked, potentially while being photographed or filmed. And she has to be embarrassed about it, likely trying to cover her private parts.
I would say the game does not have that. It has the usual porn tropes like peeping or accidentally walking in on someone showering, but never focuses on embarrassment or humiliation, and especially not on recording the encounter.

Yes! I'd lose my mind if he showed up in Eternum. What other game did you see him make a cameo?
alright does anyone know how to pass the gameshow i cant get pass it and i tried everything including walkthrough can any help cuz i cant stop dying
Just reply good on firstquestion round 2 send the lil stepsis (i forgot her name) after send the other sister after you send the mother and you go to guess the price and you win (idk if you talked about this part of the game so sorry if i missunderstanded)

I downloaded the zip file...... what's the worst that can happen?
I wasn't logged in then.....I deleted after seeing the files through winrar
didn't extract them

Caribdis you are amazing. Also man I've noticed you put a lot of mythology stuff in your games. Love it! Keep up the great work!
My first ever anime style avn was One more chance, Once in a lifetime was my 2nd one. Got hit by nostalgia recently as I played these two again.
I must say I'm looking for suggestions guys..I've played a lot of anime styles avn but maybe there's something I'm missing out.
Ripples, house in the rift, harem hotel, cosy cafe, obviously Eternum is the goat.
Played all, indeed Enternum is de GOAT. If you’ve played Lost & Found, Lemme know if it’s any good...Am thinking about trying it
They're not anime-style I believe (I don't find Eternum anime style? xD), but I liked Acting Lessons and Being a Dik from Dr. PinkCake a lot, in case you don't mind they cattering to some heavy topics (more for AL, BaD!k is more chill), the second is still underway.

I wanted to download a NFSW game for 20 minutes of fun, spent 6 hours and still not finished all endings. Great story, great game
希望更新2代
how do I download this
First VN I played ever and wasn't sure if I like them or not so I was happy that I could play this for free and test. Man, after I played and enjoyed many hours with this I had to come back and make purchase just to support your great game and storytelling this has.

This game is so funny 😂,
Can I find out which languages are currently available?
Played this game during 2022 and made my summer less boring
Now that I feel bored, it's time for me to replay this game again.
once in a lifetime- 10/10 (messy hair)- c- in no uncertain terms, no matter how short this ends up being, this is the best AVN ive played to date.

Hey Caribdis,
I don't know if you ever go back on your completed projects to look at the comments but just in case wanted to let you know that this shit is peak content. I don't think I've ever laughed as hard before. I love how fucking stupid the MC is, makes for great comedy.
Good work,
Thank you so much <3
Caribdis,
Holy moly you actually responded! Since I have your attention, If I subscribe to your patreon does that support your eternum too? Or do you have two different patrons?
Also is patreon best way to support or would you prefer another way? I've already downloaded your games for free, I just want to give you money cuz I'm having such a good time.
完结撒花，好结局一天完成，剧情写的非常好，很感人
