Hey Caribdis i just wanted to say Once in a lifetime is a flawless Masterpiece and i also wanted to know if any characters from Once in a lifetime were going to show up in your upcoming Game Like Lauren Etc p.s i made this account just to tell you that , not like that was a huge inconvenience for me (:
Man I'm straight up only making an account just to praise you man I absolutely loved the game and the plot was amazing but unfortunately the bad thing was...stabbey Mike didn't get enough screen time but all jokes aside you did an outstanding job and I'll definitely check out Eternum and any other game you create in the future
When I started playing the game I just started it out of random but then it become so engaging I just kept playing and I cannot describe the feeling which I got at the end of the game that felt like for real so genuine which I can't even describe in words and I am still feeling that. Sex is another thing but it's another thing to have felt the the ecstasy of real love and you just showed it perfectly with Rebecca and in the ending with Mike and and our beloved girls. It gave all the feelings of the intimacy, love and relationship. You've created something which is incredible.🥂 Toast! My friend.✨
This is the best story game I have ever played, I am speechless, my hands down to you my man!!! I propose to you to translate the game, and your page into Spanish and Russian, I am a professional translator and have experience in game and app translation. Having presence in those languages, especially spanish, will bring you tons of new customer-fans, I can guarantee you that... Let me know your thoughts...
I'm on an android phone. I download it and it goes perfectly fine and ends up in my files. But when I go to my files and install it, it loads then I press install and then it says "app not installed" can anyone help me with this? It happens with a few games and I make sure that I press the right apk
This is without a doubt the second best H-Game I have ever played. This of course is not to say the first has much on you as the first and second are like saying 10 is bigger than 9.9. This is the second game that has brought me to tears and has made me ACHING for the next update. I CANNOT wait to play your Eternum game. Once it becomes more financially stable for me to subscribe you most definitely have gotten yourself a sponsor. Insert the "We gladly watch your career with great interest" meme here. It is these kinds of games that will pioneer a path for those of us who enjoy them. Thank you. (If you were curious what my number one is, it's Harem Hotel, if that tells you anything about the standards I judge these games by. Yours deserves to be up there.)
Hi I had to comment again, I didn't get the good ending, I died and life went on...I think because I pressed "Take his hand", I actually didn't sleep well irl, good thing I saved the game and now I got the true best ending, I am very happy, satisfied and even tear alittle. Very touching story, this is not just a game about passion/lust/etc. It's really about love, made me think about my family, my future, my life.
Soo much elements such as memes, real life references, comedy, sexy time, etc.
One of a kind game, also I found it on gamcore, idk how does releasing a game works but yeah... I found it on gamcore. Stay Safe man, this game really taught me some lessons and also satisfied my desires at the same time.
And apparently you have brought me closer back to God (Im a Christian), after you chose a specific music with "Jesus Christ" in it. So thank you.
What a great game! Interesting story, comedic beats, emotionally intelligent dialogue, really good animation, this is a well put together ren'ai. Moving forward, I would have liked to have seen more options for different positions and the ability to repeat a sexy scenario (did happen once I think in update 1.0). Either with other options being available to choose or just worked into a linear scene as sometimes you could go twice and others, even if there was more than one girl, you only went once. Perhaps that's more of a personal fetish though.
9/10 Animation
8/10 Narrative
8/10 Dialogue
5/10 Gameplay (not the intention or focal point of this project though, so doesn't detract from the experience)
I just finished your game!! I love everything in this game. The comedy (mike, oli and tom), the storyline (the cult), the animation (I'm going to finish all path). I going to promote this game so you can get more support.
Man, First of all, this game is just SO good. tbh its probably one of the best games I've played in quite a while. At first, I was just looking for games to play to do my business and so I found this, I was immediately hooked to this game and honestly, I'd keep replaying it. And not only for the scenes but also for its plot. Please man, keep up the great, amazing work. IK the game's story has ended, but screw it, I'm replaying this as many times as I want as long as it cures my boredom. And I really cant wait for your new upcoming game. This experience is TRULY, Once In A Lifetime.
Bro i fucking love mike no homo tho he a real homie. hes one of those kinds you'd rarely meet in your life. the kind that has your back every sticky situation youd get in. which is why i kinda teared up when i thought he died.
Cardibis, thank you for this incredible game. This wasn't my first VN but it's been by far the most captivating. I laughed, I cried, I was completely enthralled with your storytelling & the characters. You did a great job with adding dramatic tension and comedic relief. Loved the funny pop culture references and truly couldn't get enough of this game! Your dialogue was inspiring and thoughtful and felt really genuine across all the characters.
Looking forward to seeing more of your work and supporting your creative endeavors!
I FREAKING LOVE THIS GAME MY USERNAME SAYS IT ALL INDEED A MASTERPIECE. THE HUMOUR, EVERYTHING. THE STORY EVEN THAT MIKE SCENE (ToT) IT GOT ME SO BAD THAT I'M BOUT TO CRY DANGGGG IF I DO HAVE A JOB IMMA TAKE THAT PATREON THING I EVEN MADE THIS ACCOUNT JUST TO SAY THIS I WISH YOU LIVE LONG LEGEND! Why all my texts are in caps :v YOU BETTER KEEP THIS UP I'M WAITING FOR MORE (ToT)
One of the best game ever played. Almost made me cry. Animations well done and the story is Perfect. Really fun to play. Keep it up man ! This game is awesome. 11 out of 10
Just created my account here at itch.io and this is officially the first VN I've played. I really loved this game: the story, the "fun" parts and those moments that made me laugh. Looking forward to your next game.
Any reccomendations from the community is highly appreciated.
i cried when mike became president, this was truely then best ending
but fr this is actually the most incredible vn i have ever played and i am gonna recommend to all of my non degenerate friends, thank you Caribdis I cant wait for the next game.
ps do you have a twitter so i can keep tabs on the development
Thank you so much! I have a TW account, but I don't use it. Best way to keep track of the development is the Discord channel or Patreon/Subscribestar! (There's a public progress bar)
Just finished this yesterday. it was amazing. I can't really describe what is my experience playing game but its definitely got a solid 10/10 from me. Would love to see more content for this game and looking forward for the new game.
My god... This game is really good... like, of the 2 years I've seen games of this style, this one is the best. The story is AMAZING, and I hope there is a continuation of the story after ETERNUM that I really hope it arrives and I'm always seeing if there's new things. Man, I ENJOYED the story so much that I've played the whole story 3 times, it's so good... As suggestions for a possible update... could you put a little post-final scene to make the ending a little better... Everything else is perfect.. I loved the game, and I'm sure that by continuing to make these types of games, it will be very successful :)
Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to the new game ;-)
This is hands down the best Visual Novel out there. If you're considering downloading this, well DOWNLOAD IT. You will love every single piece of it from beginning to end. Shout to the homeboy Mike, He's a real 1.
great game, the humor is definitely really good in it. just one thing how do I get the last scene with Aiko and Lauren? p.s. Stabby is my favorite character.
I made an account just to talk about how good this game was. The story was fantastic and amazing. I thought this would be a normal ero Light Novel but is was so much more and the comedy was just amazing I loved the used of sound effects and the color inversion. I was so glad to get this game. Keep up the good work im looking forward to the next game.
hey just curious, i cant update this game as it says "an error occurred during installation this title is hosted n an incompatible third party website"
If you're trying to use itch.io downloader, I'm sorry, the file is too big and I can't upload it directly to the website. I tried to ask them to increase the limit, but they told me they won't do it., so I can only upload third party links and you'll have to download it from there. Sorry >_<
Ah, just now I am seeing the update! From what I've read, 0.10 finished the story already right? Cool, I wanna see what happens, so I'm already downloading it.
Also, 4.7GB? That's a lotta content! Last time I checked, on 0.9, if I remember correctly it was around 1GB or something, so these were some pretty big updates, I like it!
Do you plan on doing anything else on the game after 1.0, like adding some things and whatnot? I really like it.

what's the name of test that we have to take with the doctor? I can't remember
It's a reference to Fallout's G.O.A.T
Cuando paso los archivos de guardado de la anterior version me sale un error. Hay alguna solucion para eso?
Yo no he tenido que pasar los archivos. Simplemente descargué la versión más reciente y ya tenía los datos guardados

Good work dev! What a masterpiece. Hoping that you'll add a feature to continue the path that we lost so.
Thank you!

I didn't see the iris house scene in ver 1.0. Did I need to skip the dojo scene in order to arrive at the house faster?
No, you just need to be following Judie and Iris path and EMBERS MOAN, the aphrodisiac potion you can buy at the apothecary (in the village)
Ohhhkay. When I replayed everything I forgot I can buy BOTH. So dumb
What a great game! Interesting story, comedic beats, emotionally intelligent dialogue, really good animation, this is a well put together ren'ai.

Dear caribdis, I made this account just to say your game is awesome!! I have questions, is it possible that all path be completed and not lost?
Yes!
You can (and should xD) complete the game following all the paths
I just finished your game!! I love everything in this game. The comedy (mike, oli and tom), the storyline (the cult), the animation (I'm going to finish all path). I going to promote this game so you can get more support.
Thanks man! 😍
That means a lot!

Thanks Benny!

Hahaha thanks man! 😆
I want to see what comes after the vacation so damn bad and it sucks you won't continue to make the game bigger
It had to end some day 😢
I'll do some extra scenes in the future, though!
Man, what a game. You are a genius. I want to pay for it. What is the best way?
You can do it right here, or Patreon/Subscribestar (and then cancel the pledge)
Thank so much in any case man! 🧡
One of the best game ever played. Almost made me cry. Animations well done and the story is Perfect. Really fun to play. Keep it up man ! This game is awesome. 11 out of 10

I'm very happy to read that 🧡
P.S. See you later on the server 😆
how to solve this problem?
Downloading it from the links, not from the itch app
thx ：）
I have only one word - a masterpiece. Caribdis, you are a genius, without exaggeration!
All the characters are alive, I love them all! Well, not all of them, but only girls. :)
When I got the worst ending after the first pass, I literally sobbed.
And when I got the best ending, I also sobbed, but this time with joy.
This has never happened to me before.
This has happened to me only once in a lifetime. Really! :)
Thank you betza! 😍
Just finished this yesterday. it was amazing. I can't really describe what is my experience playing game but its definitely got a solid 10/10 from me. Would love to see more content for this game and looking forward for the new game.
Thank you very much!
Is it possible to take all of the girls on the plane? If it is, then how? btw really ENJOYED the game!
Nvm I did it, and what can I say... this is literally one of the best games! Can't wait for the next one >.<
Thanks Xadx! It's on its way!
Can you let Judie, Lauren, Dick, Jack, Tom, and Stabby Mike have a cameo in Eternum? You can create a whole new NFSW universe by doing that !!!
Haha they'll have a cameo probably yes!
Caribdis' NSFW Cinematic Universe 🤩
Stabby Mike...the Hero we didn't know we needed. Please please please let him have a cameo in Eternum.
Caribdis, you rock Sir!
Haha it's very possible 😏
Oh I will, be sure to check out Eternum when it comes out!
My god... This game is really good... like, of the 2 years I've seen games of this style, this one is the best.

great game, the humor is definitely really good in it. just one thing how do I get the last scene with Aiko and Lauren? p.s. Stabby is my favorite character.
You need both of her paths (obviously) and Fit Jack (You must have used the amnesia spray on him!)
I made an account just to talk about how good this game was. The story was fantastic and amazing.

Thank you Gordan! Glad you liked it
hey just curious, i cant update this game as it says "an error occurred during installation this title is hosted n an incompatible third party website"
how would i go about updating this now?
Fantastic game though! i love it!

Yeah, I'll add a few extra scenes in the future, after Eternum 0.1 release (my next game)
P.S. 0.9 was already 3GB! xD
Ugh, me and my Air Fryer-like memory!
