I had a question. I like to use the desktop app of itch.io as it provides easy access and an easy way to update games but I noticed this one is only on other sites and locations, such as google drive while your other game (Eternum, great game by the way, wish we had more Nancy content rn so I'm looking forward to the update) is installable directly on the itch desktop app. Is this due to file size or is there some other factor?
Regardless, keep making great games, and I appreciate the fact that they're free.
i would like to start by saying that i didn't think that i would actually get this sad over a game but i did, i came to OIAL mainly because of sexual content, and now ending the game, i didn't notice it at first but i have made an attachment to these characters, all the women i met and all the things i did to get them, now im having post game depression, its a good game, looking forward to the next one
Holy fuck! I just finished this game, and this game is INCREDIBLE. I've said the same thing about Eternum, but this game invokes ALL emotions on the spectrum. The story is SO good and immersive. Caribdis is such an amazing story-teller! I wish that I could play it for the first time again.
Hello, I have a problem. On day 4 of the village part of the game I lose Judie's path and I don't know why. I looked at the walkthrough and it says that on day 1 at the ramen place you have to say "I'd like you better without it", but I don't get the prompt to say that. Does it have something to do with how many points I have with her at that point (because I had 14 points)? Please help, I don't wanna lose her path.
Also: is there a guide that specifically shows how to get points for each character, because the other guides don't exactly mention it?
Yeah, I realised that and went back to get more points, it turns out that one spot where I should've gotten a like point was glitched the first time I played it but now I got it. Thanks anyway.
Tried to extract the .zip file but it fails on archive.rpa every time
For PC
Update: i figured out the problem. I was trying to extract it to a USB formatted with FAT32 and it couldn't handle the file size. Formatted with NTFS fixed the problem.
I still cant believe you did both of these games by yourself. Way to go buddy even some big developers that made games don’t have as good storyline or character development as you do. Keep up the good work I’m supporting you 100% and I also want to apologize for my dumb question that I asked :).
I needed to use VPN to into this game's site ( https://caribdis.itch.io/once-in-a-lifetime) and also needed VPN to download the game as well . May I know why? Cause I don't get this problem with other games in itch.io
Also, the game was great! I finished it in under 4h, unlocked all the adult scenes and also got the best ending. Took 2 tries tho.
It was a really great game to end this year. I wrote a long ass rating-post so i'll keep it short.
Thank you very much. Even though I needed a bit of time to get into the style (also of the mc, dunno why xD) I really loved this game in kind of all aspects. I'm really looking forward to playing Eternum now.
I started to play and love this game on early May 2021 and after getting "stuck" on its latest update i stopped playing until now, end of December of the same year and wow... can congratulate you more than enough for making this amazing game, said it was your first game but looked like you had years of experience and you managed to create something really good!
If i had to rate the game i would give it a straight 10/10. It had such good humour, really good renders, amazing animations, a really enjoyable storyline and the character deployment its just topnotch.
You got yourself a new follower! will gladly support on patreon and start playing Eternum too!
Just had to create an account and say wow dude, one of the best games I've played in a long time. Characters are so unique, man did I hate jasime and the other bullies at first but that soon changed. Character plotlines were just amazing! Followed the walkthrough and got the harem route, that ending though!!! What a twist, but I'm glad it finished the way it did with the pilot being *you know who* 😁 the slideshow at the end with all the girls was such a nice touch it made me generally smile. For a free game it has no right of being this good but damn it's just amazing! Especially for a "porn" game. Can't wait to play your other ones, thank you for all your hard work! Also love this expression 😂
I really loved this game, and while I like how lifelike a lot of games are - including Eternum- I really loved the art of the girls in this. It seemed cell shaded or something and gave it a really unique look that appealed to me. The girls were all amazing too, frequently there's at least one I can't stand even while I enjoy harem games, but here everyone is amazing and your sisters are the best!
Since I just finally created an account here, wanted to come back and say this is one of the best visual novels I've ever played. The humor, the characters, the story, it's all incredible.
this is not a porn game, this is a masterpiece. I'm sooo looking forward to Eternum. Both the games have awsome graphics, great plot, just can't get my eyes out of the screen. Have finished the game in like 5 hours, very emotional ending, great job
I love the game, nice story with cute girls and interesting characters, it takes a quite amount of dedication to make these characters and make a visual novel with a nice story and consistent story plot. I love your idea of a Adult visual novel, it seems like you don't only just care about erotic scenes but actually the story and characters and humor which I'm actually surprised about, not many creators have humor in their games, I would never really notice but if a game does have humor that's a big 10/10 for me. Keep on doing what you're doing bro.
Hey man, I just finished this game I loved every single bit of it. I'm currently playing Eternum and I'm loving it as well. I just wondering if we'll have any more adventures with these characters in the form of a spin off or sequel of some sorts in the future? Anyways, keep doing what your doing man!
Hey Caribdis i wasnt expecting to find this master piece of a game. it is one of the best visual novels i have ever played! your work is amazing! i felt in love with the story of "once in a life time". The characters we're amazing as well. I will wait for you to finished ETERNUM before starting that one. I loved the reference you made by the way about ETERNUM on the drive with lauren and judie. 100/100 my friend. I promise that as soon as i get some stuff sort out.. i will support your projects throught patreon. Keep up the great work! p.s. Last visual novel that really hooked me up was "If My Heart Had Wings", and i say this tops it for me! Again great work pal, you are Amazing and i hope you stay safe. Merry Late Christmas!
I still cant beleive it was game,(what a story!!!)it is the best game i have played.Beyond humour,suspence,plot,action it was sometime very emotional.I literally cried when it was to kill Asmodeus. Thanks a lot🥰🥰.Well a question, what is the secret ending if you not choose any girls path?
This game is absolutely amazing(the artstyle animation and the comedy 😂)My favourite male character is 100% Mike , he such a nice buddy. This is definitely my most favourite VN. Fak, my heart feels so empty now and I feel like crying huhu😭. Definitely 1000/10. (I created an account just to post this comment)
Thanks you so much for the such enjoyable experience even though I feel so empty now.
Very good game so far. Now I have a small problem. I'm in this old abandoned hospital and I'm supposed to give the five-digit code on a door. I have found all the numbers but do not know the sequence. I got a hint about the sequence but I can not look at this hint again or read. The numbers I have are 32840
Man, I absolutely love this! Bodies are not exaggerated and mostly are perfect! I love the diverse personalities of each character! The story is one of the best I've read and it never got me bored, not even a bit! Even the side characters have great personalities and the game had me laughing, scared, and being turned on plus the fact that it has many endings or results makes it like a cherry on top! I appreciate you for giving us the chance to play this. Very looking forward to playing more from your works. Happy Holidays and take care!
Holy fuck... What have i just played... It felt real, with just enough weirdness added in just to subtlety remind me its a game ... Goddamn ive never been a vn person but if they can even be half this good... Now i definitely need to try the devs new game bc holy shit this is wow...
So I haven't even finished the game but there's no need to! This is one of those games that you don't need to see the end to give it a 10/10! This game has everything I love to see comedy, good story, options-paths, references, H scenes (obviously that's what I came for but got so much more!), and what I value the most passion, effort, or even soul. This game stands out from the rest for that reason, you can tell since the beginning of the game! Even thinking to replay this gem and like I said before haven't even finished it yet!
I discovered H games back in 2018 when I saw videos about Summertime Saga (I hate to mention other games but this game doesn't have anything to envy) and was intrigued that it was a videogame. Later I found out that the game wasn't close to being finished so after that I meet with reality. It's quite rare and hard to find a game of quality, and like another user said (Celares) "where the sex doesn't feel forced, or like it's the sole focus of the game". This is one of those gems where the game could be SFW and still be a masterpiece, but I'll be honest let's keep it NSFW (xD).
In conclusion, a wonderful story (10/10), characters 10/10 (I really got attached to them, Stabby Mike is amazing xD) Comedy 10/10 This game is hilarious, Sex scenes 20/10 I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this game even if you're not an H game fan. By far one of the best games I've ever played!
AMAZING! I played this after Eternum, and now I'm even more excited to see what you do with that game! Your storytelling is incredible. Judie talking about Eternum makes me wonder if we'll possibly run in to Once in a Lifetime characters in Eternum. Cannot wait, will without a doubt be supporting your future game development.
Hello Caribdis! I just want to say that this is the best visual game I played in my life. Expect my utmost support to your upcoming games in the future. Once again thank you, I recommend this to the all people who are finding for the best visual games of their life. I can't wait for the Eternum to finish it's update. I'm sure it will be another masterpiece. Can you also tell me how to support in patreon. I would like to support all your games!
Thank you so much, Rin! 💗 You can find it here: https://www.patreon.com/onceinalifetime and select the tier you want. Thanks in advance if you decide to support the game!

Yep, it's due to file size.
Itch.io has a 4gb limit.
i would like to start by saying that i didn't think that i would actually get this sad over a game but i did, i came to OIAL mainly because of sexual content, and now ending the game, i didn't notice it at first but i have made an attachment to these characters, all the women i met and all the things i did to get them, now im having post game depression, its a good game, looking forward to the next one

Maybe you messed up somewhere earlier in the game. She probably doesn't have enough like points to give u the option. Its just my opinion
Yeah, I realised that and went back to get more points, it turns out that one spot where I should've gotten a like point was glitched the first time I played it but now I got it. Thanks anyway.

Happy New Year, Caribdis! :)
Happy new year ^^
is this game connected to Eternum ?
Not directly, but it's the same "universe"
There are some references too
It was a really great game to end this year. I wrote a long ass rating-post so i'll keep it short.
Thank you very much. Even though I needed a bit of time to get into the style (also of the mc, dunno why xD) I really loved this game in kind of all aspects. I'm really looking forward to playing Eternum now.
Will follow you and wish for a happy new year!
Keep up the awesome work.
As my rating states: 69/5 family-time <3
I read your review, thank you so much Subenu <3
I hope you like Eternum too! Happy new year!
I started to play and love this game on early May 2021 and after getting "stuck" on its latest update i stopped playing until now, end of December of the same year and wow... can congratulate you more than enough for making this amazing game, said it was your first game but looked like you had years of experience and you managed to create something really good!

Thank you very much, Maid!
Thank you Takoyaki 💗
hey I have a question is it really easy to loss paths with some characters?
You can download the walkthrough if you have trouble maintaining the paths!
thanks for the help buddy I really liked your other game, I was so invested in it I even forgot I was playing a game :)
I finish this last night and I just have to say how much I enjoyed it..
I LOVED it. The humour, the girls, the spooky bits, the animation, but most of all how much you made me care for the characters in such a short time.
What a little gem.
Thank you very much!!
Is there any mega link for Android?
https://mega.nz/file/jUs0DaDK#HRMtXaC1HyrDQGYY39D83za-Q5QiTSpDH2tEO7wVsHc
Thanks
i downloaded version 1.0 but how come when i start the game the menu says its version 0.10?
It's the same one
I really loved this game, and while I like how lifelike a lot of games are - including Eternum- I really loved the art of the girls in this. It seemed cell shaded or something and gave it a really unique look that appealed to me. The girls were all amazing too, frequently there's at least one I can't stand even while I enjoy harem games, but here everyone is amazing and your sisters are the best!
Glad to hear that! Thank you!
Are there still plans for bonus content on this game?
For now I'll focus on Eternum
Since I just finally created an account here, wanted to come back and say this is one of the best visual novels I've ever played. The humor, the characters, the story, it's all incredible.
Lauren is too amazing for words.
Thank you Thindor <3
this is not a porn game, this is a masterpiece. I'm sooo looking forward to Eternum. Both the games have awsome graphics, great plot, just can't get my eyes out of the screen. Have finished the game in like 5 hours, very emotional ending, great job

Keep on doing what you're doing bro.
Also, you definitely have the traits and qualities of becoming a writer.
Also do you make these games by yourself with all the story and characters?
Thank you so much!
Yeah, I do them by myself ^^
Thats awesome, must be a hassle though but it's probably rewarding at the end of the day.
Hey man, I just finished this game I loved every single bit of it. I'm currently playing Eternum and I'm loving it as well. I just wondering if we'll have any more adventures with these characters in the form of a spin off or sequel of some sorts in the future? Anyways, keep doing what your doing man!
I'm not ruling anything out, but for now I'll focus on Eternum ^^
man this game is just awesome as eternum 👌❤️
but i have a doubt
that,if we lost path with some charecter can we get back to path or not ?
Nope, you can't get them back
Can this game still be updated after the eternum game is finished?
Not sure, but in any case it would be a small update. My focus now is Eternum, and after that (a few years from now) probably a new game
Hey Caribdis i wasnt expecting to find this master piece of a game. it is one of the best visual novels i have ever played! your work is amazing! i felt in love with the story of "once in a life time".

Hello
I tried to download the game for windows but none of the links are working for some reason!
Yeah i have the same issue
I kept trying the G drive link and that one somehow worked. Try that on a non incognito tab when you are logged in on your google account.
im on the itch.io desktop app, i dont know how to do what youre talking about
I still cant beleive it was game,(what a story!!!)it is the best game i have played.Beyond humour,suspence,plot,action it was sometime very emotional.I literally cried when it was to kill Asmodeus. Thanks a lot🥰🥰.Well a question, what is the secret ending if you not choose any girls path?

Thank you so much 💗💗💗

How do you guys get into the sex scenes
Playing thru? Don't you think? Is just takes some time but it get's better just wait!
