I created an account so i could write how much I enjoyed the game, this is 100% worth downloading and the best completed VN ever made the story gets serious when it needs to be and there is no lack of comedy in this story. and the actual scenes and animation were really well done as like most people I came for something to play as a H game but as I believe i can speak for most people in which we stayed for the story and characters the story telling was amazing . As stated before this is the best VN game ever completed as I've played Eternum, another game by Caribdis which is i have high hopes for as it keeps the comedy and same intriguing story telling and character building and I believe it might just beat Once in a Life Time as they've also improved on various other thing so Eternum is a must play after this one and i cant wait for it to be finished keep up the great work Caribdis. (ps mike best character.) (i would also love if mike could make a appearance in Eternum even just a tiney bit it would be awesome) (also the ending made me tear up it was amazing)
If you're even thinking about getting this game, 100% do it. It's by far the best VN I've ever played and the only one that comes close is Cari's other game Eternum. This game has an amazing story, amazing scenes, amazing characters, everything is a 10/10. I cannot stress how good the writing in this game is compared to others that I've played that it seems on another level. At some points the game is a comedy, a horror game, an erotic VN, a tearjerker, it has everything. I'm honestly so glad I showed up late to this game because it allowed me to play the whole thing in a few sittings and had me engrossed the entire time. Also, Mike is the best character in fiction.
Did I expect to get emotional at the ending? No way. Did I? Yes, yes I did.
Seriously though, awesome work, I went into this game thinking it would just be another silly nsfw game, but now I'm left wanting even more story and comedy! I already played the 0.2 version of eternum and I am so happy to see that none of the charm from this game was lost in the slightest.
Much love bro.
(ps. what is the song that plays during the harem ending? Shit slaps.)
The story may be rough around the edges, but it is executed well and improving it might ruin the overall feel that the game has going for the player in terms of charms and quirkiness - so perhaps a true masterpiece?
The character models are heavily altered and unique - compared to Honey Select standard models. I know very well how Honey Select can place a heavy limit on character creations and the various sliders can be a tedious pain to deal with without having any reference values or mods to assist you. I love the emphasis on the more expressive eyes and the actual expressions used to show the various moods of the characters. It's superb and not many ren'py or HS games can say the same - at least not in the same order of magnitude.
The setting and mood is amazing. Especially the light hearted and down right slapstick comedy moments where the MC is directly brought to bear on several occasions. *Train scene* *Hint hint*
The only downside I have and wish to complain about is that it was not longer, that there was not more scenes with especially the two older charming ladies. Perhaps a somewhat sizeable epilogue? Their personalities were so well grown that it felt like a pity to have so little of them in terms of presence and interaction/sex.
Thank you for making this game! I just finished it and I love every aspect about it :) I'll be playing your other game at some point. Seems interesting! (I felt like it was mentioned in this game about there being some virtual reality thing that was supposed to be really advanced. Could have that been a hint to your next game? Idk ;-;)
10/10. Great story and hot scenes, but the humor alone makes this game worth playing: probably the first game to make me laugh out loud. The graphics where created with Honey Select, right? It be awesome if you could share the character cards, maybe on your patreon?
I finished this game 5 months ago and forgot to review, the game is great the story is fantastic.
the jokes are funny not alot of game has made me laugh.
I was a little sad when it ended cause i wanted more but then i saw u were making another game tried it out and its already looking great hope its as good as oial.
Okay, i never leave comments, i usually play and enjoy myself, and pass to another, but man this game !! Whithout speaking of the lewd scene (which were incredible), i absolutly loved the story. You have such an incredible imagination.
/!\ Spoil /!\
Even if i didn't finish all path with all characters, i wasn't surprised to see Mike as the pilot, but i'm just wondering how all of this could have happened if i didn't let him come out of jail with me ? I don't need answers i will retry the game doing different choice but this is obssessing me !
/!\ End of spoil /!\
Also i have a question, how do i know if i finished the story of certains characters ? like i saw in comments someone was talking about Jasmine, but idk if i could go further or not
Edit : i'm stupid i just need to look the "paths" menu but idk when i fucked up with the girls, can't we finish the game completly in once ? and why Iris and Aiko doesn't have a number to the side of "following path" ?
Anyway, thanks for your answers bc i know you will respond, keep going buddy, i'm going to download Eternum because i believe you're doing as good work as on Once In A Lifetime
Thank you so much! Don't worry about the numbers, you just have to worry about keeping all paths open. If you have all the scenes in the gallery unlocked you didn't miss any content. And yeah, you need Mike to get the harem ending!
Yeah i read the walkthrough and i saw where i missed some path, i will try the other end but that's hard to keep only one girl and leave the others behind >< i feel like i betray them ahah
Id just like to start off by saying i haven't finished the game quite yet but i assume im nearly done ive got to the part with the trip to the beach, either way im going to be sad when its over i have really enjoyed it absolutely amazing story and im sure the ending will be great, Lauren has completely stole my heart (everything id want in real life but no ones that lucky hehe), i will be sure to play Eternum after but i will be sad to leave Lauren and this amazing story behind.
This is best of best. You know what you are doing and man, you're excellent at it. You gave me a sleepless night, I laughed and trembled with joy like a maniac in the middle of the night, only you can do this to me till now.
Can't wait for Eternum. Anywhere, anytime, at any price, you already got a purchase. You have my word man!
I just created this account just now so I could just stress my profound gratitude to you @Caribdis ! I had just just finished Once in a Lifetime after I finished your new project "Eternum" and damn... You and your team all deserve high praise within the visual novel community because the talent you project is unreal! From artwork to storyline dialogue, it's just all perfectly blended into; what not only in my opinion but I'm pretty sure a majority of the players opinion is just a work of art. The VN community is extremely lucky to have someone like you creating projects and I hope you can find yourself successful off of this because you and your team deserve it! Cant wait for what the future holds!
One of the best I've ever played so far, if not the best. The mix between the art, the main plot, good friends and the humor was awesome. For sure I'm gonna keep this as a good memory for a long time.
Conglats for the release and keep up in the next game.
If you don't mind some constructive criticism, I would love if you explore more of the audio implementation, those in the game were so good, I even saved the music that plays in the Judie's date, some more of these would be pretty nice
This game is better than I expected. I'm not really into visual novels but when I started playing this one its just different than the others, love the animation (especially those uh you know) but overall this game is very good and well made.
Sounds stupid but I needed this, amazing story and when he asked him to keep moving forward that just hit the spot, really needed this to keep going on, you make life bearable charibdis. If I get to be what I wanna be, I'll make sure to donate whatever I can to you. Keep doing what you do friend, you're amazing. Take care <3
I started with Eternum and as I'm waiting for an update started playing this. Both games are great but what really hits me every few scenes is the humor. Tom became my fav just like Raul and Noah before. Keep up the great work :)
I played this game and eternum, i can firmly say best visual novel games i ever played! I feel so sorry that i can't pay for it with money :,-( But u surely made me a fan with story plot, humour and graphics.
I would be very much obliged to work with you though! For a noble cause!
Please contact me if you want me for any such work.
This stuff right here is a must play. Witty humor, with amazing scenes, nothing too corny or straight up bullshit. I love this game, been up playing till 4 am, and there is still so much to do. God so glad I found it. You, Caribdis, are a genius.
An absolutely fantastic game through and through, from the characters to the scenes and omg the plot was astounding. Alot of comments are saying how one of the girls are their favorite but Stabby Mike stole my heart, we spent 2 days in prison together yet throughout the entire game he's got your back if you choose. And the ending heartbreaking yet fulfilling, having played eternum first and loving that game this game was on par if not better than Eternum. Good job dev and I look forward to seeing how you progress Eternum as well as other games if you plan to make any more which I hope you do!
Just to add to the choir... what an amazing game. Lauren, Judie and Aiko stole my heart, and Iris and Jasmine weren't far behind. And their eyes are so pretty <3 Oh and Stabby Mike, you absolute legend!
Wow this Game is amazing!! Really good Story, lots of funny Elements, Had some really good laughs in some hilarious scenes (For example TV spots with ramsay). Game has also a really good atmosphere, some scenes will give you the chills !! Make Sure to Turn on Sound!!
Adult content also really great. Right after my first playthrough i Played it again Just to unlock all scenes. It will keep you busy several hours.
Amazing Amazing AMAZING beautiful game, i just finished it and its just sublime.... it was/is quite a journey, thank you my friend/s (devs) for making it. you are the true heros in this story
This is one of, if not the best visual novel ever (atleast in my experience eternum comes a close second as it isn't finished yet) I also loved the subtle references for example, on day 3 of japan when you go to the temple the lady says, "Welcome to the temple of amaterasu". To sum it up great game, and I'm excited to see what you do with eternum, so far it has been great, keep up the good work. (There are no emojis here as I don't like emojis, but picture them)
I definitely agree with one of the previous commenters post. I have never taken the time to comment or review anything here but I have been so blown away by how much more I am enjoying this game over almost all others that I have paid for I had to come and comment. You have done an amazing job on this game. It is so much more engaging and interesting that other games like it. I actually find myself caring about these characters and the story. Most of the time the story in these games is really just a lifeless vehicle to get to the sex scenes. This game is so much more. And love the character models, very unique compared to others. I hope you continue with that in your new game as much as possible. I downloaded it for free to check it out but I will be happy to pay for this one and your new one when I get through this one and download your new game. Happy to support you in your games.

i guess also with creampie we need cumflation thing

(ps. what is the song that plays during the harem ending? Shit slaps.)
Thank you so much, man!
I'll be right behind you Josephine, Josh Woodward
This game is f*cking awesome! what the hell 11/10 man.
The ending made me cry. Mike is the best guy in this game
Also what's the song name when judie and james went to date?
Thank you ^^
Get you off my mind - Ten Towers
What is Once In A Lifetime?
A bloody MASTERPIECE!
The story may be rough around the edges, but it is executed well and improving it might ruin the overall feel that the game has going for the player in terms of charms and quirkiness - so perhaps a true masterpiece?
The character models are heavily altered and unique - compared to Honey Select standard models. I know very well how Honey Select can place a heavy limit on character creations and the various sliders can be a tedious pain to deal with without having any reference values or mods to assist you. I love the emphasis on the more expressive eyes and the actual expressions used to show the various moods of the characters. It's superb and not many ren'py or HS games can say the same - at least not in the same order of magnitude.
The setting and mood is amazing. Especially the light hearted and down right slapstick comedy moments where the MC is directly brought to bear on several occasions. *Train scene* *Hint hint*
The only downside I have and wish to complain about is that it was not longer, that there was not more scenes with especially the two older charming ladies. Perhaps a somewhat sizeable epilogue? Their personalities were so well grown that it felt like a pity to have so little of them in terms of presence and interaction/sex.
9,7/10

Thank you so much for your review, Balpheron <3
What are the numbers that tom picked T_T in the party
Look in the baground the bodyguard helps you in the left
Look on his fingers
Thank you for making this game! I just finished it and I love every aspect about it :)
I'll be playing your other game at some point. Seems interesting! (I felt like it was mentioned in this game about there being some virtual reality thing that was supposed to be really advanced. Could have that been a hint to your next game? Idk ;-;)
It is ^^ I hope you like it too
10/10. Great story and hot scenes, but the humor alone makes this game worth playing: probably the first game to make me laugh out loud. The graphics where created with Honey Select, right? It be awesome if you could share the character cards, maybe on your patreon?
Thank you!
Yeah, as you just said, they're available on my Patreon ^^

Yeah you should try to complete the game with all the girls :D
Very good games big LIKE <3 :)

Thank you!
Is there a minimum requirements to install the app on phone? I can't install this game, I still have 25gb free space on phone :((
There shouldn't be any, no
One of the best I've ever played so far, if not the best. The mix between the art, the main plot, good friends and the humor was awesome. For sure I'm gonna keep this as a good memory for a long time.
