I absolutely love everything about it. But I do have a question, I replayed it about 3 times trying to find a better ending one where it doesn’t end with MC getting shot , is it the official ending ?
Hello. I have played around 5 hours on this game. I have exported my saves in a file on my computer but when I want to import them, the file appears as empty... I don't want to begin the game again. Can you help me?
If you're trying to use Gamcore's save files you might not be able to use them because they modify the script. If you choose "skip unseen text" in Preferences and hold Ctrl, you should be able to reach the point where you were in maybe 10 minutes or less
I didn't understand at all what you said but eventually I purchased the game, which is absolutely fantastic ! That leads me to another question : the version 0.10 will be available on friday. I will undoubtly get it but will I have to take all since the beginning or is there a way to start at the end of the version 0.9 ?
This is one of the best games i've played on this site, everything about it is great, AND ITS NOT EVEN OVER. I am genuinely looking forward to the rest of the story. amazing job!!
I wanted to post a comment and I don't comment on games EVER. I was just looking for something to jack off to as I would and I stumbled upon this page. I am actually invested now which doesn't usually happen, (I don't play games much) This story has actual plot which I love. The music is goes well with the story. the memes... the memes.... I really hope to own this game when it officially releases and I just wanna say absolutely fantastic job, it was enjoyable.
Probably the best written visual novel I've played off itch.io. I get the sense we're nearing completion of this game so I eagerly await whatever project you take on next.
Hello, I'm a user who enjoyed your game in Korea. Your game is so perfect. Above all, I think the character was carefully created. I've never played such a fun game. Thank you so much. And what are your plans for the next game and when will it be released?
You have to download the new version, it doesn't matter what you do with the older version. If you play on PC, you should be able to continue your old saves! (Even if you deleted the old version)
I just want to say that i love this game, this is my favourite game all time. Love your game making style. I played this game 3 times in a row on different devices until 0.9, that's how much i love it :)) I'm looking forward for public release , i can't wait for the 0.10 and see how story ends , and replay it for another 3 times :D I'm counting the days until 2nd of July when you release it for public :D THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS GAME and brighten our days :D Looking forward for the next game too :)
I've got a small problem in gallery replay, I noticed that some of the scenes like the one w/ jasmine in a train, the locker room w/ iris, the scene in the spa w/ Lauren and many other scenes is still locked even though I already past them. Do I have to save while those scenes are happening so that I can unlocked them in gallery?
I've noticed this type of problem in other adult games so I think there should be a solution.
Hey Bobby 👋 You don't have to save for the scenes to appear, so it must be some kind of bug. I keep having problems with the gallery 😭 I'm looking into it, I hope I can fix it. Sorry about it!
This game is reasons one though a thousand why I love these erotic adult games cause you find the best most interesting plots and ideas here
Case in point this mystery actually got me hyped as all hell which is rare cause normally I can pick out the culprit in five minutes but not here and thank God for that
O.M.G Nearly finished the story (so far). I wasn't expecting this game to be SO funny. I swear this game has made me laugh so hard. Love it. Highly recommended.
Besides being funny, this game has a story that really *sucks* you in. Always wanting to know what happens next. The sex scenes get better as you progress, and I love that they've added options to change views/positions.
Two things I wanted to mention, (On Android 11, Samsung tablet, landscape orientation,)
1) Text entry screens, (enter name, code entry, gambling scene etc,) the text is displayed behind the keyboard making it difficult to see whats required.
2) The textbox transparency slider doesnt seem to do anything, there is no textbox visible.
Your story was absolutely fantastic! Just finished 1.0 and I enjoyed it so much! I'm sure I will read through it multiple times. Your affinity for attention to detail, storytelling and character creation is epic and I very much look forward to your next work "Eternum". Keep up the great work sir and thank you for what you do!
Have any idea when Gamcore will release it on their website? Thanks! P.S. If you do not know when it will be released, is there any way for me to contact them? Also ,thanks again!
Hi! Gamcore is not an official site, so I don't know when they will update it there (I wish I could do it myself)
I tried to contact them with previous updates with no luck. You can try to "report" the game saying there's a new update, I don't know if there's a better method, sorry!
Hey, Caribdis! Literally I finished your game and I created this account only to comment on how amazing this novel was!
From the beginning, to the end, the characters, the romance, the comedy, the suspense, everything on it, it's just perfect. (If I could, I would support you on Patreon, love the project).
Still, I have two questions, I hope it won't bother you if you could answer them.
In a future game, would it be a possibility to have NTR, or aren't you into that kind of stuff?
And last, but not least, in the ending you said that you were working on a new game, but I saw on your Patreon page a post about what it seems a prequel. Are you working at the same time in both projects?
Thanks for making this game! You became my favorite developer! Hopefully in a future I can support you! :D
Can you just promise us something? Can you put the main character in this story in for one very small cameo, where he is on the sidelines at a random moment and sees a part of the Etherium story unfold, he just has that puzzled moment he sometimes gets before noping out because he realises trouble is about to start and he wants no more of that.
And that would be it, he is suddenly there in the story and gone. A homage to our heroes sometimes slow working mind, doesn't need to be more than several pictures and we never see him again lol
I gotta say, this was the first ever visual novel I've tried, and wow did I pick a winner. You did a great job of keeping the flow of the story consistent, i've played other games since where i literally have nothing to do. Not with yours, Im on my second playthru. ended the first after losing to the other family (trying not to spoil anything) Thanks for a great game! cant wait to see what else is in store for these characters.
Check out Tales of Unity by Stronkboi. It's not the level of awesome of Once In A Lifetime but it's still a very entertaining story. Sorry Caribdis for plugging a different Dev your comments.
Man, I downloaded the game cuz of the scene and WOW these scenes are one of a kind. However I stayed cuz of the story. It is so so interesting. In update 0.9 I played it for 1 day straight to finish it I now I cant wait for 0.10. I have only 1 question. How to download the game in order not to lose all the progress?
Hi Orange! I'm glad you liked it! If you play on PC, you have to download the new version and you should be able to continue where you left it, since Ren'py stores its saves in a diferent folder!
Oh man!! I can't wait to get my hands on .10! This joint is a level of funny you just don't see anymore. It's like the Harvard/National Lampoon have been reincarnated as Caribdis.
Ok so I am actually bothering to make an account in this website just to say I love what you did in here. I've been on a reading mood lately and been reading free VNs left and right for the past 5 weeks or something, NSFW or not, I read it all.
I have to say, I really think you didn't even need the NSFW scenes for this game to shine. Your humor and the whole supernatural kind of thing you got going on carried the game, the sex scenes were honestly just a bonus.
Really hoping you get your creative juices flowing again on a story like this, it has been a riot to read!
Also Stabby Mike is best character, I don't care what anybody says, I cried laughing on the village scene when he's opening a safe.
while i am incredibly hype for the end of this game, do you know when we can hear more about eternum? maybe a summery of some kind? i figured this game had only 1 or 2 more updates so i've been interested in what you will be doing next. any fetishes in particular that your willing to share? are we getting the same tags as this one? less tags? more tags? i'll take anything your willing to share lol.
If you look for one of his replies to an earlier comment, you'll find a link to his patreon post about his next game, Eternum. You'll probably have to look for a few minutes though.
I kinda wish there was a way to import models of male characters or something. Maybe a selection of male characters for the main one. Overall I'm loving every bit of this lol, came for the horny but stayed for the story. lets see how long I can support 2 patreons at tier 4 kekw.
Hello Carabdis , I love this game and I have been waiting for an update and even though I can download it from other sites I will wait for your public release because that's the least I can do as I currently cannot pay for anything 😅
But will the walkthrough be updated with the public release or will it take longer ?
And also will this be the final version that ends the story or does the story continue?
Hello Comiclover!! First of all, thank you so much for waiting, I appreciate it a lot 🧡
Absolutely! The walkthrough will be updated with the public release! And yeah, this version ends the story, although I'll update the game in the future with some extra content. I'll also start a new game, so be sure to check it out!
I actually shed a few tears while playing I don't want to reveal too much but the story is so great the way it opens the way it ends, so great and the v.10 version the music is great. Thanks for taking the time to make the game for us players to enjoy. And I saw your announcement that there will be a few more versions Once in a lifetime can't wait to play it. And in the new game project hope you can succeed I will support you. And finally thank you for making this great game. Have you good day Caridbis. Love you.
first the game is great thanks for making it second i'm playing v.10 is Rebecca's path unchangeable i tried all options but her path still ends and i cant stop the wedding and continue the path the path point of rebecca i'm playing is 17/20 i think many people are like me please reply me and thanks for reading Caribdis , love you.
I'm kinda sad to see the game leaked so early, but well, to keep Rebecca's path, you have to change the piano song, and be sure not to have taken Astaroth hand and not to have grabbed the Grimoire in Magnus Mansion (in 0.9)
Hello Caribdis, would you like me to look for all the leaked sites for you by chance you can get them taken down? I hope to help as much as I can since you have worked so hard on this. If so how shall I message you the sites privately.
I'm sorry for spoiling the game please forgive me, i feel a bit annoyed not being able to finish the game but i promise the next game i won't reveal anything, and like i said before i like your game and if you have any new projects for the future I will definitely support, thanks for making Once in a lifetime
After playing v0.10 I have to say, this is the best visual novel I have ever played. Thank you for creating this game. The story was great and hilarious at many points. I'm happy to hear you'll add more to the game even if its just small amounts at a time.
I can't wait for Eternum either. After playing through this one, I can only imagine how much better a second game could become now that you've had more practice and gained more experience with the programming software.
Make sure you take breaks to relax as I wouldn't want to see you burn out, best of luck on the next game and thank you again for such an amazing game. I'll answer peoples questions from time to time in the chat for you without giving spoilers. Take care Caribdis ❤
Not Caribdis. V0.10 has been released on Patreon and comes free for everyone on July 2nd. This does end the story but Caribdis does say at the end he will add some stuff over time, mainly as requests from Patreons. I hope this answers your question.

I absolutely love everything about it. But I do have a question, I replayed it about 3 times trying to find a better ending one where it doesn’t end with MC getting shot , is it the official ending ?
You have to choose to shoot the Asmodeus guy, and I'm pretty sure that you have to follow Stabby Mike's "path", as well.
Hello. I have played around 5 hours on this game. I have exported my saves in a file on my computer but when I want to import them, the file appears as empty... I don't want to begin the game again. Can you help me?
If you're trying to use Gamcore's save files you might not be able to use them because they modify the script.
If you choose "skip unseen text" in Preferences and hold Ctrl, you should be able to reach the point where you were in maybe 10 minutes or less
I didn't understand at all what you said but eventually I purchased the game, which is absolutely fantastic ! That leads me to another question : the version 0.10 will be available on friday. I will undoubtly get it but will I have to take all since the beginning or is there a way to start at the end of the version 0.9 ?
Ah, my bad, if you're playing on PC you'll be able to continue where you left it in 0.9, no worries
Perfect ! I hope you make a lot of games like that.
That's the plan! :p
This is one of the best games i've played on this site, everything about it is great, AND ITS NOT EVEN OVER. I am genuinely looking forward to the rest of the story. amazing job!!
Thank you so much Delirious!!
Truly a masterpiece, the humor and story never disappoint. Keep up the good work Dev 👍
I will! Thanks Teges!
Hey Caribdis,
How do I get to the Aiko-Lauren scene? The scene ends as soon as they get up from the dojo bath.
Ya gotta have sprayed Fat Jack, then ask for help from him.
I wanted to post a comment and I don't comment on games EVER. I was just looking for something to jack off to as I would and I stumbled upon this page. I am actually invested now which doesn't usually happen, (I don't play games much) This story has actual plot which I love. The music is goes well with the story. the memes... the memes.... I really hope to own this game when it officially releases and I just wanna say absolutely fantastic job, it was enjoyable.
Thank you so much Khonsu 🧡🧡🧡
Probably the best written visual novel I've played off itch.io. I get the sense we're nearing completion of this game so I eagerly await whatever project you take on next.
Thank you! And yeah, you're right, I'll start a new game very soon!
Check out Patreon/SS for more info!
All i can says after play the 1.0 is amazing man, i love the ending song too, can u tell me the name of that song please
I'll be right behind you - Josh Woodward
When i heard Anything Goes in the soundtrack i knew this visual novel is peak quality
Haha I love that song
i keep losing carlas path at the doctors what can i do to keep on her path?
Hi Nobody, try downloading and following the walkthrough, I should help you with this and anything else in the game!
Hello, I'm a user who enjoyed your game in Korea. Your game is so perfect. Above all, I think the character was carefully created. I've never played such a fun game. Thank you so much. And what are your plans for the next game and when will it be released?
Thank you!
The next game will be released in a few months, I'll start posting some previews and info in my Patreon and SS pages next week!
I just finished the game and... wow... I loved all of it! All the scenes, the story, the humor, the characters...
Highly recommended and now my favorite game of this genre!
Keep the good work and thank you so much for this masterpiece!
PD: Mike is easily the best character lmao
Thank you very much Mayfrek!
hi just wanted to ask :] once the update is out should i delete the older version of the game and download the new one? Or do i do something else?
You have to download the new version, it doesn't matter what you do with the older version. If you play on PC, you should be able to continue your old saves! (Even if you deleted the old version)

2) The textbox transparency slider doesnt seem to do anything, there is no textbox visible.
I'll try to work on this. Another person helps me in creating the Android ports, I'll ask him!
Thanks
Caribdis,
Your story was absolutely fantastic! Just finished 1.0 and I enjoyed it so much! I'm sure I will read through it multiple times. Your affinity for attention to detail, storytelling and character creation is epic and I very much look forward to your next work "Eternum". Keep up the great work sir and thank you for what you do!

Yooo dude v1.0 is out on their website
There will be no NTR......right? If none then it's amazing...... hopefully there's none though
There's none

It's not! Check out the walkthrough!
where to download the walkthrough?
Right here, in the downloads section
Hi, can you tell with what program you made these games?
Honey Select and Ren'py
Hey, Caribdis! Literally I finished your game and I created this account only to comment on how amazing this novel was!

Esse est deus.
Thank you Alaska!
To be honest, I'm not into NTR much, so I don't think I'll include any of it in Eternum either.
My next project (Eternum) won't be related directly to OiaLt, but it takes place a few years later. You can check it out here!
https://www.patreon.com/posts/my-next-game-49070298?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&ut...
Thanks again and take care!
Too bad that you aren't into NTR, but it's okay!
Definitely will check this new game, it caught my attention that even Judy mentioned it.
Thanks for answering me!
Can you just promise us something? Can you put the main character in this story in for one very small cameo, where he is on the sidelines at a random moment and sees a part of the Etherium story unfold, he just has that puzzled moment he sometimes gets before noping out because he realises trouble is about to start and he wants no more of that.

Thank you very much Thaenor!!
You have to win the contest, there's still a lot of content after that! :P
lol great! haha i thought it was rigged tbh. so it is winable
Check out Tales of Unity by Stronkboi. It's not the level of awesome of Once In A Lifetime but it's still a very entertaining story. Sorry Caribdis for plugging a different Dev your comments.
No worries
Wow, I loved this game and all of the scenes xD
Also I can't wait to your next game, Eternum if I remember correctly, isn't it?
Yes sir, that's right!
I'll start posting stuff about it very soon
Man, I downloaded the game cuz of the scene and WOW these scenes are one of a kind. However I stayed cuz of the story. It is so so interesting. In update 0.9 I played it for 1 day straight to finish it I now I cant wait for 0.10. I have only 1 question. How to download the game in order not to lose all the progress?
Hi Orange! I'm glad you liked it!
If you play on PC, you have to download the new version and you should be able to continue where you left it, since Ren'py stores its saves in a diferent folder!
Only reason to make an itch.io account and good lord did I not get dissapointed, excellent work keep bringing this quality content please!
You can be sure that I will!
hooray~
Yay
Oh man!! I can't wait to get my hands on .10! This joint is a level of funny you just don't see anymore. It's like the Harvard/National Lampoon have been reincarnated as Caribdis.
Haha thank you so much phat!
0.10 is almost here!
Ok so I am actually bothering to make an account in this website just to say I love what you did in here. I've been on a reading mood lately and been reading free VNs left and right for the past 5 weeks or something, NSFW or not, I read it all.
I have to say, I really think you didn't even need the NSFW scenes for this game to shine. Your humor and the whole supernatural kind of thing you got going on carried the game, the sex scenes were honestly just a bonus.
Really hoping you get your creative juices flowing again on a story like this, it has been a riot to read!
Also Stabby Mike is best character, I don't care what anybody says, I cried laughing on the village scene when he's opening a safe.
Thank you very much Xiriko!!
It's nice to hear people appreciate your story!
I did literally the same thing!!
Also....Vote Stabby Mike for video game G.O.A.T.
Hi Caribdis. I really love this update the comedy still amazing i also cried like a kid haha.
Well I'm a milf guy I'm looking forward for more Carla scene so I think I will wait for that extra content.
And hoping your next game Eternum have lots of beautiful milf haha.
Thank you so much for making this game I really love it. I'm going to be your fan forever.
Thank you for your words Shendel ❤
It is actually the game end?
The next update will end the main story, yes. It'll be released on July 1st!
I'll also start a new game after that: Eternum!
while i am incredibly hype for the end of this game, do you know when we can hear more about eternum? maybe a summery of some kind? i figured this game had only 1 or 2 more updates so i've been interested in what you will be doing next. any fetishes in particular that your willing to share? are we getting the same tags as this one? less tags? more tags? i'll take anything your willing to share lol.
If you look for one of his replies to an earlier comment, you'll find a link to his patreon post about his next game, Eternum. You'll probably have to look for a few minutes though.
thx man
I kinda wish there was a way to import models of male characters or something. Maybe a selection of male characters for the main one. Overall I'm loving every bit of this lol, came for the horny but stayed for the story. lets see how long I can support 2 patreons at tier 4 kekw.
Thank you very much Superkira! 😍
Hello Carabdis , I love this game and I have been waiting for an update and even though I can download it from other sites I will wait for your public release because that's the least I can do as I currently cannot pay for anything 😅
But will the walkthrough be updated with the public release or will it take longer ?

Hello Comiclover!!
First of all, thank you so much for waiting, I appreciate it a lot 🧡
Absolutely! The walkthrough will be updated with the public release! And yeah, this version ends the story, although I'll update the game in the future with some extra content. I'll also start a new game, so be sure to check it out!
Thank you for the response Carabdis,
I love this game and a new game by you, certainly has high expectations from me . I will check it out for sure 😄👍
I actually shed a few tears while playing I don't want to reveal too much but the story is so great the way it opens the way it ends, so great and the v.10 version the music is great.

Thank you Shala! 🧡
first the game is great thanks for making it second i'm playing v.10 is Rebecca's path unchangeable i tried all options but her path still ends and i cant stop the wedding and continue the path the path point of rebecca i'm playing is 17/20 i think many people are like me please reply me and thanks for reading Caribdis , love you.
Not Caribdis. I started on 17/20 and got it. Go talk with everyone first. Pianist select song 3.
Edit: song 2 also works.
Edit 2: Talk to everyone first before seeing Rebecca.
I'm kinda sad to see the game leaked so early, but well, to keep Rebecca's path, you have to change the piano song, and be sure not to have taken Astaroth hand and not to have grabbed the Grimoire in Magnus Mansion (in 0.9)
Hello Caribdis, would you like me to look for all the leaked sites for you by chance you can get them taken down? I hope to help as much as I can since you have worked so hard on this. If so how shall I message you the sites privately.
Don't worry, it can't be taken down, but thanks
I'm sorry for spoiling the game please forgive me, i feel a bit annoyed not being able to finish the game but i promise the next game i won't reveal anything, and like i said before i like your game and if you have any new projects for the future I will definitely support, thanks for making Once in a lifetime
And I'm your fan forever Cardbdis. LOVE YOU
No worries king, it's all good, thank you very much!

Thanks catching
Awesome gane you made buddy. Is 1.0 going to be the finale? Because the story feels like it's near its end.
Btw l love ur game so much that it's my second most favorite H-game of all time. Nice work!
Not Caribdis. V0.10 has been released on Patreon and comes free for everyone on July 2nd. This does end the story but Caribdis does say at the end he will add some stuff over time, mainly as requests from Patreons. I hope this answers your question.
Thank you very much! Yes, it finishes the main story
