Jesus this game was fantastic. I was iffy at first about this game because I wasn't too impressed by the models but I played through the entire thing in basically one sitting because I was so into the story, which I have to say is a first for me for a porn game. You did a really good job of setting up the proper atmosphere for scenes and some of the creepier scenes were VERY unnerving. The funnier scenes had me smiling the whole way through and I definitely laughed out loud at some of the jokes, and yet everything together felt cohesive and tonally appropriate for their scenes. Over time I actually came around to liking how the models looked, especially in motion too. The characters' dialogues being as charming and enjoyable as they were definitely helped too.
I don't know what else to say, I was so in awe of how enjoyable it was to play through this game I had to come back here to leave a comment about it. Fucking fantastic job dude, can't wait to see what your future endeavours hold.
I just made an account to say that I'm a huge fan of your game, ever since I first played it I'm hooked. I love the design of the characters, the lovestory, the comedy,... keep up the good work! Can't wait till 0.10!
I'm a python programmer (still in college) and u've inspired me to make an H game. It will never be as good as this game tho but I'm gonna try to make the best out of it.
I just finished playing it and what can I say? It's fucking amazing! Great job dude! I can't wait for 0.10, I bet it'll be awesome. Also, are you a full time game developer or are you just doing this as a fun project? Either way, you're killing it!
What a game... That twist and all the amazingly lewd shit... Game of the year! (I took the path of Judie[what a hottie] along with the teacher [gorgeous] and Aiko [f*** ya]). Great story line, amazing sex annimations (but my game kept crashing cuz of them) and I just can't wait to play 0.10!!! Great job Caribdis!!! Thanks for the amazing content! Gonna take another path for Lauren and hopefully iris at the same time.( It's like pokemon... Gotta f*** them all)
👍👍👍👍😃😃😃🤩🤩
Btw I literally created an account just to show my appreciation and love for this game! I also found out there's a walkthrough so gonna check that out.
Judie is my fav character btw. She's just so adorable and shy but brave and dirty when it gets to "that" point😏. For real tho great job on the characters personality and figure.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I just finished the game and waiting patiently for the next update. The story was totally incredible, full of plot twists. And also, i love the intensity of the ending! Damn that plot was something else from you!!!!(it almost drive me crazy with the storytelling despite this game got such lewd stuff lol) Keep up the great work :))
The Gamcore version is unofficial, so I can't upload the game there myself, I'd do it if I could, sorry. Try asking the Gamcore's admins to upload to the new version!
Originally I started this game and was just going through it but then I decided to look at how the paths were doing with all the characters and I noticed that I lost the story paths for Judie and Carla, I noticed if super early so I figured I'd start over and follow the walkthrough and holy shit I'm glad I did. First off amazing story with some really good twists and the characters are amazing, and secondly the animations are spectacular. I cannot wait for the next update.
if someone is one the fence about playing the game or not you should and I absolutely recommend using the walkthrough so you can experience ever thing in the game
So i was having a hard time on all my recent choices but then i found the walkthrough guide or something, i started a new a game and it became so much F'ing better dude thanks for the guides rlly helps... My new favorite H game now.. good job dude, hopefully there's bunch of more updates to come i loved it
I’ve been playing the game on gamcore but was wondering if there was any other way to play on mobile so I can play v.09? P.s probably the best mobile game I’ve ever played
Just created an account just to say that you're real good ! The mix of humor, feelings, sex, development, plot, etc is very well designed ! Keep up the good work !
The best visual novel i've ever played, fantastic story, beautiful charter, i really liked all the references, easter eggs and the humorism. When will the 0.10 come out? I can't wait
Just finished the latest update, but first of all big Fck you man! that’s one quite hard decision you made me do in the end. I know I can save progress but that last scene brought back a depressing memory and I know you’re referencing to that specific game, I wont say what game it is cuz others might guess it and get spoiled lol.
Anyway, the comedy gets even funnier and funnier and the story gets even more interesting. I love how the side characters still appears in the game and has funny moments, their encounters with the MC always makes me laugh. and about Tom and Fat jack, dude I swear I would be very mad if you decide that the effect of the amnesia spray will wear off. I hope they’ll stay like that. also name the girl that always following FJ, I think it would be interesting if you added atleast a short extra about what will happen between them in the end.
and about some bugs and stuff. I don’t remember encountering those, Just some typos here and there. And also, did you forgot to add a gallery tab on the main menu? cuz the only way you can access the gallery is through the actual gameplay. I dunno if you’re planning to add that at the final update of the game or just forgot about it lol.
so yah. thats all. I love the game, the humor, the characters, the story. I love it all, can’t wait for the next update and for your future games. Keep up the fantastic work, man!
As someone who played almost every version of this game, I can tell you that the gallery used to be in the main menu, but it caused problems. Not only the scene replay crashed, because the MC's name was not set, but also there was no way for the game to know which scenes have already been viewed during gameplay and therefore should be unlocked. I believe Caribdis restricted it to in-game menu for this reason.
Hi, I love your game and I heard 0.9 was out. I tried downloading it, but it says it needs to extract all my files, and I don’t really want to do that, because I have lots of important files and documents. I tried to run it without extracting it but it says that it could not execute. My main question is: Is there some other way to play 0.9 other than downloading it onto my files?
No sorry, it needs to be extracted in order to play it! But if you extract it in a folder and you delete it afterwards, it shouldn't interfere with your other files
Right click on the file you downloaded and select "Extract here" A folder will be created, then you'll be able to run the application (Onceinalifetime.exe) 👍
I love the game. I found another game here that made me laugh. I love the humor in this game all characters are likeable. I wish the MC isn’t treated as a loser tho, Almost all game like this here on itch, people always treat the MC as a loser. I wish you made him a guy that everyone fears because of his devilish looks, Like in the intro, I was assuming that people will judge him by his appearance. the loser MC thing is very cliche imo. also I assume this is some kind of a mistake on animation, remember the scene with iris in the changing room where you can increase the movement? the final faster option’s motion is toooooo fast, it almost looks like their animation is increased 10 times lol.
Anyway. I havent finished the game yet, I love the game so far. Hope it wraps up nicely :D
Hi I just downloaded the game yesterday and finished it this game is super awesome it gave me so many different emotions I laughed my ass off so many times I even got chills from the horror the romance is just perfect storyline is awesome graphics are clean words can't explain how much i love this game im looking forward for the next update keep up the good work 💝
Hey I just finished this game and oh my god was it amazing, i love the dark mystery of it and i love every character in it i cant wait to download 0.10 when it comes out once i get the money ill save it till i download 0.10 and definitely tip you some (assuming the money goes straight to you
you just keep up the good work, besides your game opened my eyes to what i could do once i learn programming, i hope what i make is half as good as this
Hi, I started playing this game through the ren'pyweb client on another website, really great work! I just downloaded it because I'd prefer playing it without ads everywhere, but I'm not sure how to upload the saves from the web version into the downloaded game. Do you know anything about how to do that? The web version just had a button in the top left corner that let you export or import saves, but that isn't there on the downloaded version.
Saves should be pasted in the "/game/saves" folder, but as itchNsfw said, it's possible that they are not compatible because the website did some changes to the code. So if that doesn't work, I guess your best option would be skipping dialogue (making the same decisions you made) until you get where you were!
Oh, I see. The websites that upload the game (like Gamcore) are unoffical, so I can't upload the new update there, and I don't know when they'll do it, sorry. Try asking for the update there!
As i said before, i really love this game. But, i have one question. It would be possible to add the entire scene of Lauren when we sell her to the yakuza? Y like to see every possible path, and seeing that one skip feels bad.
If you don't like to draw such scenes, it's totally okay and understandable.
Anyway, as i stand before, a great game. I'm willing to see the end.
Okay, as i said it's totally okay. It's your game after all, it wouldn't be okay to demand something you're not okay doing. I appreciate that you take the time to answer the comments and message here, so thank you 😄
And, even though it may be repetitive, good job. It's a great game.
I got a problem that I need help with cause yesterday when I downloaded it from this website. It was working fine. After I closed it and opened it up after a few hours it stopped working and says "Could not execute C:\Users\Name\Desktop\lib\windows-i686\Onceinalifetime.exe. Is it missing?" I'm sorry for disturbing you. I hope I can play this awesome game.
Damn, I don't really know, I'll try to look into it. For now, the best I can think of is that you download and install the game again (Your saves should still work fine)
I think the game is great. Normally I'm not a fan of having a relatively realistic plot mixed with supernatural scenarios, but here is a pleasant mix of humour (Judie had me with Hippolas Cage, still laugh when I think about it). What I also like are the male NPCs who act as support to the MC and add another absurdly funny touch to the humour (I was sure I would regret letting Mike go the first time and oh boy was I wrong). Keep your style and humour for future games. It stands out from the crowd and adds to the replay value, even if you make the same choices.
Man, v0.9 was awesome. it isn't as long as v0.8, but it had plenty of story content.
(START OF MINOR SIDE-STORY SPOILER)
Man, Oliver's dilemma was a hysterical moment that had me chuckling to myself.
And Fit Jack's chemistry with the unnamed classmate is extraordinary, she's evolved from thot to obsessed stalker, i'd love to see if their relationship goes anywhere, especially when she inevitably becomes fit herself from chasing Fit Jack all the time.
(END OF MINOR SIDE-STORY SPOILER)
And bro, your cliffhanger's keep making me want more, every cliffhanger in the past 2-3 versions have been awesome, and have had me waiting in anticipation for the next updates.
And after the set-up and twists in v0.9, making it seem like v1.0 is going to be the final chapter, i can't wait for v1.0 to come out and see the finale to this epic of a story-based porn game.
As always, great work Caribdis. your work is amazing, and if you do make another game after OiaL, i'll make sure to play through it as well and try to give the most constructive reviews that i can.

Jesus this game was fantastic. I was iffy at first about this game because I wasn't too impressed by the models but I played through the entire thing in basically one sitting because I was so into the story, which I have to say is a first for me for a porn game. You did a really good job of setting up the proper atmosphere for scenes and some of the creepier scenes were VERY unnerving. The funnier scenes had me smiling the whole way through and I definitely laughed out loud at some of the jokes, and yet everything together felt cohesive and tonally appropriate for their scenes. Over time I actually came around to liking how the models looked, especially in motion too. The characters' dialogues being as charming and enjoyable as they were definitely helped too.
I don't know what else to say, I was so in awe of how enjoyable it was to play through this game I had to come back here to leave a comment about it. Fucking fantastic job dude, can't wait to see what your future endeavours hold.
Thank you so much horndm!!! 🧡🧡🧡
That was a nice review to read, I appreciate it 🙏
you know i thought this game wouldnt be so bad... NOW IM STUCK IN THE RABBIT HOLE AND I DONT WANT TO LEAVE YET!!!
215 is the computer password for anyone stuck
Can someone give me a link to a wall through?
You can download it in the downloads section
I just made an account to say that I'm a huge fan of your game, ever since I first played it I'm hooked. I love the design of the characters, the lovestory, the comedy,... keep up the good work! Can't wait till 0.10!
Thanks buddy! 😍😍😍😍
I'm a python programmer (still in college) and u've inspired me to make an H game. It will never be as good as this game tho but I'm gonna try to make the best out of it.
Best of luck with it!!
can you give me a heads up if there is ntr
There's none
thanks
I just finished playing it and what can I say? It's fucking amazing! Great job dude! I can't wait for 0.10, I bet it'll be awesome. Also, are you a full time game developer or are you just doing this as a fun project? Either way, you're killing it!
Thank you very much! 😍
I was able to go full-time a few weeks ago thanks to the support I received, so yeah, I can say this is my job now 😋
That's great to hear! You deserve the support! And one day if you finish this game, do you plan on making similar or maybe different types of games?
Oh yeah, I have my next game already planned 🤩
I posted some info about it on Patreon recently, but I won't start working on it until 0.10 is finished
Ooo, nice! I wish you the best!
Good luck buddy! Can't wait to see what you can come up with!😄
What a game... That twist and all the amazingly lewd shit... Game of the year! (I took the path of Judie[what a hottie] along with the teacher [gorgeous] and Aiko [f*** ya]). Great story line, amazing sex annimations (but my game kept crashing cuz of them) and I just can't wait to play 0.10!!! Great job Caribdis!!! Thanks for the amazing content!

Thank you very much buddy! 🤩
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Already!! Hehe i was so excited abt the story so, my bad xD. And please, make the very end of this game more epic!!! 🤧🤧🤧
Haha I'll try 🤩
whens 0.9 going to be on websites like gamecore? im not playing the downloaded version because i dont know what it means by extracting the files
The Gamcore version is unofficial, so I can't upload the game there myself, I'd do it if I could, sorry.
Try asking the Gamcore's admins to upload to the new version!
ok what about extracting files? i dont know what its supposed to do
Just click "extract here", it will create a folder, and an application (OnceinaLifetime.exe) that you can run to play the game
um it doesnt say extract here, it says extract all. its the application, right?
That should work too, yes
Originally I started this game and was just going through it but then I decided to look at how the paths were doing with all the characters and I noticed that I lost the story paths for Judie and Carla, I noticed if super early so I figured I'd start over and follow the walkthrough and holy shit I'm glad I did.

if someone is one the fence about playing the game or not you should and I absolutely recommend using the walkthrough so you can experience ever thing in the game
Thank you very much! 🧡
Are there any downsides to the compressed version vs. the normal one for the APK? Just wanna know
Lower image quality in the compressed one
okay, thank you!
So i was having a hard time on all my recent choices but then i found the walkthrough guide or something, i started a new a game and it became so much F'ing better dude thanks for the guides rlly helps... My new favorite H game now.. good job dude, hopefully there's bunch of more updates to come i loved it
Thank you!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I'll change it 👌
please make the protagonist look better he is so ugly
At a certain point he gets a new haircut and he improves considerably! 🤣
it seems to be a default model from the engine or something because its the same damn ugly guy in all of these renpy games
the character models are honey select. you don't use ren'py to make the models lol, ren'py is just used for the VN side of things.
I’ve been playing the game on gamcore but was wondering if there was any other way to play on mobile so I can play v.09? P.s probably the best mobile game I’ve ever played
Hi Jovert! If you download the Android version (APK) you can play it on mobile!
oh damn I’ve been playing on ios I can’t run apk
Just created an account just to say that you're real good ! The mix of humor, feelings, sex, development, plot, etc is very well designed ! Keep up the good work !
Thank you handker! 😀
Yoooo this game is gooood
I have a question tho.How do i finish lauren path???
Do you know where you lost the path?
Try downloading the walkthrough and looking (Ctrl+F) for "Lauren"!
Im on andriod :(
where can i download the walkthrough?
Well,i lost it at the hotel when you will choose to go inside or not.
But when i choosed go inside, i lost the path. I tried the other one but its still the same.
Thx for replying :P
You can find it in "downloads" in this same page!
The best visual novel i've ever played, fantastic story, beautiful charter, i really liked all the references, easter eggs and the humorism. When will the 0.10 come out? I can't wait
Thank you! There's no date yet, but it's on the way :P
is Judie's cosplay party gonna be added in the next two updtes caribdis? Its my most anticipated final addition tbh.
Yeah, probably as a epilogue scene
Just finished the latest update, but first of all big Fck you man! that’s one quite hard decision you made me do in the end.

First time playing it and I will admit I love it. the story is great and all of the girls a lovable.
Great job Caribdis
Thank you so much Horagen!

Lol, that's way too fast haha, you're right. I messed up the code, but I fixed it now. Thanks for the heads up!
Hi I just downloaded the game yesterday and finished it this game is super awesome it gave me so many different emotions I laughed my ass off so many times I even got chills from the horror the romance is just perfect storyline is awesome graphics are clean words can't explain how much i love this game im looking forward for the next update keep up the good work 💝

I appreciate it!

Awesome! Best of luck with that!
How can Aiko belong to me?
You can to choose "warn her about them" and visit her at the dojo 3 times before leaving Japan. Download the walkthrough for more info!
Hi, I started playing this game through the ren'pyweb client on another website, really great work! I just downloaded it because I'd prefer playing it without ads everywhere, but I'm not sure how to upload the saves from the web version into the downloaded game. Do you know anything about how to do that? The web version just had a button in the top left corner that let you export or import saves, but that isn't there on the downloaded version.
Set everything to be skippable that you can in the preferences and just hold ctrl and make decisions till you get to where you were (is my advice)
Saves should be pasted in the "/game/saves" folder, but as itchNsfw said, it's possible that they are not compatible because the website did some changes to the code.
So if that doesn't work, I guess your best option would be skipping dialogue (making the same decisions you made) until you get where you were!
i ❤ this game, when will 0.9 be available to sites?
Thanks!
Sites? What do you mean?
i mean i play the game on a website and it’s still on 0.8. i tried downloading it but it always runs into an error.
Oh, I see. The websites that upload the game (like Gamcore) are unoffical, so I can't upload the new update there, and I don't know when they'll do it, sorry. Try asking for the update there!
This game is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! 🖤💛💙💜🧡❤️️💚🧡💗❤️️💓
Thank you Massi 😁
This game is fucking great. 10/10 love it
Thank you player, I appreciate it 😃
Love this game
🧡
A great anf fun game and nice plot.I laughed more than once while playing.Love it.
Thank you! 🧡
I got an error while unpacking the game
As i said before, i really love this game. But, i have one question. It would be possible to add the entire scene of Lauren when we sell her to the yakuza? Y like to see every possible path, and seeing that one skip feels bad.
If you don't like to draw such scenes, it's totally okay and understandable.
Anyway, as i stand before, a great game. I'm willing to see the end.
Thank you!
Yeah, as you say, I wouldn't like creating such scene, I think of it as a "game over" screen more than a different path.
Cheers!
Okay, as i said it's totally okay. It's your game after all, it wouldn't be okay to demand something you're not okay doing. I appreciate that you take the time to answer the comments and message here, so thank you 😄
And, even though it may be repetitive, good job. It's a great game.
Thanks Creeper 😄
So excited to play chapter 9! This game is so good.
Thanks!
I got a problem that I need help with cause yesterday when I downloaded it from this website. It was working fine. After I closed it and opened it up after a few hours it stopped working and says "Could not execute C:\Users\Name\Desktop\lib\windows-i686\Onceinalifetime.exe. Is it missing?" I'm sorry for disturbing you. I hope I can play this awesome game.
Damn, I don't really know, I'll try to look into it.
For now, the best I can think of is that you download and install the game again (Your saves should still work fine)
Have you tried the antivirus service? In my pc, Windows Defender identifies all this tipe of games as malware, so it could be possible yours too
I think the game is great. Normally I'm not a fan of having a relatively realistic plot mixed with supernatural scenarios, but here is a pleasant mix of humour (Judie had me with Hippolas Cage, still laugh when I think about it). What I also like are the male NPCs who act as support to the MC and add another absurdly funny touch to the humour (I was sure I would regret letting Mike go the first time and oh boy was I wrong). Keep your style and humour for future games. It stands out from the crowd and adds to the replay value, even if you make the same choices.
I'll try to keep the same style in my next game, you can be sure of that! 😄
And thank you!
