Why couldn't I seduce Darci while in the clothing store? I've been looking forward to it for so long!
Seriously though, great game. It got some genuine laughs out of me, especially with Tom, Fat/Fit Jack, and Mike. The game stood on it's own with the sex scenes being intergraded smoothly. Outside of two typos I noticed I have no notes.
P.S.: Thank you for adding in a numerical system to track progress. Other games I've played don't typically have that.
I hate the male models in this game they scary me. anyway I game to check your first game out since I firstly start playing Eternum great game by the way can’t wait till that is finished and I like the male models way better back on topic ima continue playing this I hope I’ll get used to the models I’m sure this game is just as great because your a man of culture as you already know.
So I know its a weird question given the type of game this is, but when you change the radio in the bus what's the last song? Its definitely my type of music but I don't recognize it and neither does my song recognition app. Could use more rock and metal in these games.
Was skeptical of how I'd enjoy this as a first time digester of visual novels, but found myself quite immersed. Then I died with no obvious clue to where my decisions went wrong. Do I for real have to spend hours to get to the same spot to potentially die again? I admit I was forgetful of the save function because I was binging it. I tried going as far back as I could with the auto save, then hitting back to see if I could alter my extremely unsatisfying end, but could not go back enough. If there are no other options I must say I probably won't finish this. I'd like to but darn I do not want to go through it all just to die again.
Thanks for the awesome game! I split up playing it with a few months break every time and it was great that the game was long enough that I could do that, and memorable enough that I didn't forget the plot in between every break! I found out about this game after reading the comment section of Eternum (my favorite game on this site btw), and I am so glad that I checked it out. This was an adventure all the way through, and also very sexy :) Also, do you plan for any pregnancy content in Eternum as well? I liked the fact that the characters could get pregnant in this game, but it felt super unexplored. I was pretty disappointed when the only thing we got to see with it was just a little bit at the end. Since Eternum plans to be a bigger and better game, maybe you could use that chance to expand on that more?
I just finished the game and holy shit was that a ride, the animations were amazing and the humor was just top-notch. half the time I couldn't play the story with a straight face due to the dramatic zoom-ins or just the exaggeration. Beautiful game all in all, but may I ask if there are any wallpapers for the characters? Especially the likes of Lauren and Jasmine. Thank you so much for the experience and I'm hoping Eternium turns out even better!
I'm laughing my ass off with the scene from Lauren's plan getting into the Village's Mayor's House😂😂😂, Stabby Mike is the best character of this game😂😂😂, I have to say that the guy that wrote this game is a Genius, Comedy manage to fits perfectly and even tho there's sex, the plot is catchier than the goal of all getting the girls, like, I've never laughed and enjoyed a Visual Novel so much like this one, is perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
edit: Oh shit, and the "Once in a lifetime" screen from the beginning of the game? Gosh 😂😂😂, this game is a case to study.
I remember finding this game in the depths of Itch.io about a month after it was uploaded, and it's good to know that the game has progressed just as well as it has started. Never have I played an adult visual novel that has such a hooking story, great humour (the amount of times I've laughed out loud) and character development this amazing. I'm happy that Eternum is just as amazing.
Caribdis, you are a gem in this community. Thank you.
This is, without a doubt, the best game of its type out there. Amazing work, Caribdis. I really like Eternum as well. Looking foward to seeing the finished product of that as well. You're a legend. :-p
I fell down the rabbit hole a few months ago and started playing a lot of these VNs.
I still haven't finished it but I need to say, regardless of how it ends, this is absolutely hands down my favourite one, the comedy is well timed, the story is catchy and intriguing, the girls and their personalities are stunning and well differentiated, and Stanny Mike is Stabby Mike.
I'm looking forward to finish it and start with Eternum, even if it's not finished, take your time and keep doing what you're doing because it's absolutely wonderful
I do have one question whichcyou obviously don't need to reply, it's all good but: Are there any particular vns that served as inspiration for your games? Would love to enjoy them if I haven't already
Amazing Game!! The best VN that I have ever played, I enjoyed it so much and have very good story with mysterious, humor and drama hahaha I liked it!!, this is my type of game. I hope in the future you want to continue with another arc of this story after Astaroth, is an awesome game.
Btw, I have instantly subscribed to your patreon to support you, you deserve it! ;) it's a AWESOME WORK!!. Thank you!
Incredible good game. It has been one week but still every time I get in bed I can see Lauren or Judie in dreams. They are so real as I am already in the Eternum. (At beginning I love Carla most but unfortunately she is not involved in later story a lot, especially during the fighting against Astaroth). In the second round playing my tear dropped down as soon as I met Lauren again...
Would we hear any story of them in Eternum? I really want to know some thing from them after Astaroth defeated.
Genuinely one of the best VNs I've ever played. Amazing story, brilliant scenes 10/10. I hope we one day get a spin off or sequel I didn't want the story end!
Honestly, I downloaded this game first for the NSFW, but in like a few minutes I got instantly hooked to the story. Great job on everything! Animations, story, and humor was incredible, and Stabby Mike was one of my favorites!
Greetings. I enjoyed Once in a Lifetime and what's come so far of Eternum. You must like what you are doing, because it looks to take a lot of work, and you are improving your craft over time. I did find one bug in Once in a Lifetime. I could continue the game after 'Ignoring' it, though. When speaking with the group in the alley after getting kicked out of the Principal's office:

I've heard a lot of positive things about this game - Any chance you will be making a version that can be downloaded via the Itch.io Linux desktop app? you have this for Eternum, but would like to experience this one.
I'd like to, but unfortunately I reached the maximum filesize and itch doesn't let me to increase it more, so I have to use external links Sorry about it
Loved this game, and I especially liked that in one of the scenes near the end of the game, there are cinematic shots, and I'll Be Right Behind you Josephine by Josh Woodward is playing. Not often do these types of games have good music quality, but this one had a great soundtrack, and the story was actually compelling. Can't wait for Eternum to finish!
In the beginning I did not like the game very much, but I must say that it is THE BEST GAME OF THE GENRE.
I fell in love with the girls, laughed a lot, loved all the paths the game takes. And at the end I learned that there was a secret ending. I had to see what it was!
What a game! Of course all that's left for me to do is to give all my money to you hahaha
I've played this game like 4 times, the first three times I had no clue there was a walkthrough. It's a thrilling experience to make those decisions yourself and I tried twice more to unlock all the scenes, which failed so then I looked it up online and turns out there's a whole walkthrough lmao.
This game is amazing I love each character more then the other and the way there's some almost horror like scenes makes it even better!!! I love the songs you used they're in my favorite list in Spotify now and we'll...
I'd definitely rate this 20/10 no exaggerating! The words to describe how awesome this is are not yet invented!! Also with the best ending and the Josephine song I literally cried!! Tears of joy, wholesomeness and laughing.
If eternum really is everything but better I can't wait to play that more when there's more available!
Also I feel like there needs to be more content with Judie, Lauren, Aiko, Jasmine, Rebecca, Lauren and Iris I know they're animated (obviously) but it's just perfection (and it let's my imagination work)
CARIBDIS YOU ARE A GENIUS AND I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH
TLDR: This game was one of the best if not is currently the best one in my opinion, the story, character development and the atmosphere, it all the right spots. I can't explain the attachment towards the characters. Try this game out, you won't regret it.
I am going to be real honest, and I never really leave my own reviews for these, but all I can say is WOW. I played most of the other bigger vn's and and I like them a lot, and while I was casually looking for more because I am strangely addicted to visual novels, I came across Once in a Lifetime. Now at first I wasn't too sure if I wanted to play it, and I was nervous that it would be one that I would never finish, but let me tell you boy was I so wrong. The story pulled me in, and the characters really got me attached to them, like I was actually the MC and these were all my friends that I grown to love. Most vn's that I like did this as well, but this one really did it.
Overall, I really really enjoyed this game and I just want to thank Caribdis for a Once in a lifetime opportunity to experience the story and characters.
Did I miss something or was there never a part where Carla and Rebecca were told about the whole harem thing? Did they just find out off screen after the plane trip and then, ya know, accept it? That would have been a fun scene(s) I would've loved to have seen. I was hoping for a scene where the MC is confronted about the harem deal. I figured it'd be hard to write so I'm not too disappointed, but it would've been interesting.
Also, absolutely phenomenal game and writing, loved Judie the most. Are OiaLT and Eternum your only works?

Why russian language is broken?? And now i cant play it in my laptop
That option was removed a while ago in this site
I want to play the game but now its broken can i clear the data of the game? And if i clear the data how?
Why couldn't I seduce Darci while in the clothing store? I've been looking forward to it for so long!

Yeah the software I use has some limitation when it comes to males haha, sorry about it
Oh i see
So I know its a weird question given the type of game this is, but when you change the radio in the bus what's the last song? Its definitely my type of music but I don't recognize it and neither does my song recognition app. Could use more rock and metal in these games.
It's literally this xD
Dude NGL, I downloaded this game randomly never thought it would be packing such a great story. Well done man ❤️. Indeed you're a man of culture.
Thank you! 😆
I quite literally quit the game midway, just to thank you for being a man of culture as well, using Animenz's "Cruel Angel's Thesis" for the wedding.
Haha best song
how to get judie sex scene and the teacher im complete the story but im not get it
Download the walkthrough!
where to download
Go to where you downloaded the game and you can download the walkthrough
is the ending are the last update?
Yes
Amazing ending, ty for this unbelievable game
Thanks!
Right now I'd say no, it's finished. Full focus on Eternum!
Was skeptical of how I'd enjoy this as a first time digester of visual novels, but found myself quite immersed. Then I died with no obvious clue to where my decisions went wrong. Do I for real have to spend hours to get to the same spot to potentially die again? I admit I was forgetful of the save function because I was binging it. I tried going as far back as I could with the auto save, then hitting back to see if I could alter my extremely unsatisfying end, but could not go back enough. If there are no other options I must say I probably won't finish this. I'd like to but darn I do not want to go through it all just to die again.
Check the (A) automatic saves, at the bottom of the load screen you'll see "A Q 1 2 3..."
Holy shit! Harem ending is so good, Best VN I have ever played!
Also Stabby Mike is on Cheatcodes bruh too OP.
Thanks!
If you deleted your save, yeah, I'm afraid so
I was shocking when I heard 一剪梅,LOL
Best game ever!!
Haha thank you!
hey, I get this crash after being kicked out of the principles office, any ideas? I'm on windows 10. Great work by the way!
https://ibb.co/Pcbqgxw
Can you tell me when did you download the game, please?
If you downloaded it after May 27, that should be fixed.
In any case, if you click "Ignore" you'll be able to continue
Thanks for the awesome game!

Yes, it'll probably be a bit more expanded in Eternum
This game is so good. The best I ever played!
Happy to hear that :)

I hope you like Eternum too. All wallpapers and extra images are on my Patreon or Subscribestar ^^
thanks so much !
Why is the harem ending so heart warming man i feel empty after finishing the game. I kinda hate you for misleading me of mike dying
Haha glad you liked it

I think I solved it, if you download it again the bug should be fixed
(But there's no need to, because it's only 1 line of dialogue)
Understood, thank you.
The only official download page is this one (and Patreon/SubscribeStar)
I'm not crying... you are...
Beautiful game, beautiful story, it definetly was an experience you get only once... in a lifetime.
thank you for everything, Caribdis...
Thank you very much!

TYVM!
Im speechless...
100% sure this is the best game so far, nothing to argue about it
Thank you!
What is the difference between android and PC version. I see the size difference is pretty big.
Android resolution is lower because it's meant to be played on a smaller screen
In the beginning I did not like the game very much, but I must say that it is THE BEST GAME OF THE GENRE.
I fell in love with the girls, laughed a lot, loved all the paths the game takes. And at the end I learned that there was a secret ending. I had to see what it was!

Congratulations man, the game is amazing.
I can't wait to see Eternum!
Thank you so much <333

Yes sir, they're my only two games ^^
I think after she didn't Mary David Carla stayed behind and they found out about each other and figured they wouldn't be the only ones
Carla seems to be an all-know goddess at the last chapter ^_^
