I have to say, I downloaded the game only well you know what, but I finally completed it, and I must say, you have done very good job, sir/miss, I dont know which are you but your game is the first game to make me cry, I think I got the best ending, everything was so perfect, it made me cry so much, so thank you so much for creating this fine piece of art

I'm glad you liked it, thank you!

Wait, I just fucking realized after playing through a second time...
Did you do this shit through Gmod? I remember the data center shelves from Dr. Kleiner's lab that you snuck into Charles' office. Everything else in there looks like it too, the computer models, file cabinets, desk, fence...

You totally did this shit in Gmod... That's fucking awesome...

Not everything is from there, but that room was ported from Gmod yeah :]

What software do you use? I've been developing a craving to make one of my own of these over the past several month

[If you don't mind my asking]

I have to say that is one of the best pieces of media I have ever consumed.  You can take out all the NSFW scenes and this would still be one of the best games of all time. Honestly, I forgot that it was even that type of game while playing the jokes are great the use of editing is fantastic and the main character has an amazing story and ark.

Thank you very much <3

Dude, one of the best of it's kind, the relationships feel real and beautiful, and the story gives the whole deal so much more depth and meaning that you don't even have to be into the sex to really get a kick out of this game. Probably my favorite adventure is in the prison, no spoilers, but that punchline my dude, the whole thing had me laughing my ass off but that punchline had me rolling. 

Don't stop dude, I'm looking forward to a sequel if that ever ends up in the cards.

Haha that's one of my favorite parts too

I created a new account just so I can leave this comment. My real name is Peter, and I used that as the MC name. I got really confused at Jasmine's party. The MC was introducing himself by the name I gave him, and everyone was pretending they never heard that name before. Started over and created a random gibberish name like "Gjhwejk" to clearly understand the story at the party. So far I love this game, and I'm hoping to make a mother out of Rebecca.

Glad you're liking it :)

this game is so good  but I cant  max out all the girls i beat the game 4 times in a row trying to max them all out  i also used the  walkthrough that's provided

Seems you can only max one at a time due to the train gift and pool question.

Please tell me there's a way to be with Rebecca in Once in a Lifetime. I hope you read and respond.

Of course, download the walkthrough if you're having trouble ^^

Thank you. Just to be sure I can prevent the wedding of Rebecca and have a happy ending with her?

Yep

I'm looking to create my own VN and since yours is one of the BEST I've ever seen, I'm looking for your wisdom

I know that pretty much everything about Renpy is online and im working my way through all of that, but what did you use to create the sprites?

I wanna make them just like yours (My own characters and appearances, but 3d and such), and I cant figure out how to make them. What system did you use? what tips do you have?

Anything would be appreciated! 

I used Honey Select :)
Best of luck!

stuck in old hospital idk how to get through that puzzle.

(1 edit) (+1)

search for a walkthrough for details, but if you dont wanna use one, get a piece of paper, and for every number you find, write down the number and what color it was.

Then when you get to the door just put them in order.

Edit: It's been a little bit since ive played so dont take my word blindly.

(+1)

It wont let me manually punch in a code it just does it itself every time like white red green grey black thats the order thats the way and poof.

I wanted to play this aswell since i was a huge fan of Eternum. But everytime i try to install it i always get the "app not installed" error (android)

I've tried a couple times for different sites aswell, but its stagnat, do you know what i could do to make it work? Im certain its not my storage space, since i have a good 10GB to spare, and this is only around 2GB.

(+1)

go into settings and then search for app permisions allow apps from unkown sources for chrome/itch app and the file explorer. should work.

I really enjoyed eternum so far and I wanted to play this game. However, every time I try to download, it says "this title is hosted on an incompatible website." Does anyone knwo how to fix this?

Are you trying to download it through the itch.io app? If so, try using the browser

I have already commented here before but i have to again thats how good this game is.

I finished this game and what an amazing game, i must say i was extremely sad to have finished it i wish it world just keep going and going, i have never felt connected to characters in a vn as much as i was to Lauren and Judie  although i do prefer Lauren.

The ending to this game made me emotional and i felt a tear in my eye, and i can confirm now ive finished that this is the best vn ive ever played, the writing is superb and your imagination must be amazing, thank you so much for this experience.

I really hope the characters from this game show up in Eternum that would be awesome, i need me some more Lauren (this is dangerous i may like her too much might be a bit of a addiction lmao), but yeah once again thank you so much.

Thanks again, Dusk <3

Wow.

I'm not one to dive into the smuttier side of gaming, except, ya know, that little nerdy dude in his fancy white leisure suit, but I came across this title and decided to give it a go, and let me say again - Wow.

It was masterful.  The story, the romance (or carnal pleasure, which ever suits you), the sentimentality, and the little jabs of humor.  Some of the quick little visual jokes had me busting up.

I highly recommend this to anyone who is into these kind of games. 

Well done!  So very well done.

I can't wait to really dive into the next one I've seen your currently working on.


-D

Thank you so much! I hope you like it too!

Hello :)

I've accidentally deleted some renpy files and now I can't launch the game anymore, so I'm planning to reinstall it fresh. Before I do so, I wanted to know which files are responsible for my saved files and my gallery files? I completed the game in a couple of different endings and have the whole gallery unlocked and I wouldn't want to lose that.

Thank you

(+1)

https://savelocation.net/renpy

I wasn't able to find %APPDATA%/RenPy/game_directory so I think its one of the files I've deleted :( the only thing I found was a folder called 'Saves' with SAVE files called 1-1-LT1.save to 4-1-LT1.save , and auto-1-LT1.save to auto-10-LT1.save etc. (a bunch of them), and a last file called "persistent"... would that be sufficient to get my stuff back? The game is unironically very long and I would be very sad to have lost my gallery.

Maybe a way to edit files to access the unlocked gallery?

(1 edit) (+1)

Well, you can always use a skip option to race through the game in a matter of minutes. Try using Ctrl or Tab keys to skip everything except choices. If you reach an unskippable scene, you just click or press Space. My personal favorite is alternating space and mouse repeatedly, effectively doubling the speed of skipping)

It won't take you more than 15-20 minutes to finish the game with all necessary gallery files unlocked)

Skip is disabled on fresh playthroughs :/

Dude, WTF? This game is so ridiculously good, I now understand why I saw it in a 'must play' list one day.

The writing deserves a separate thank you, just because of all the humor and references. The eroticism is well put, it comes both naturally plot-wise and imaginative game-wise at the same time.

Also, this game is yet another proof that you don't need a superb graphics, 5 trillion shader count and balls-deep ray tracing for the game to be so thoroughly enjoyable. A piece of honest criticism, though: almost all male character's faces looked very suspicious. I couldn't help but think that they are all Asian for some reason. Good thing I don't care much about them looks-wise. Female characters, on the other hand, are lovely, and, most importantly, diverse. Each one of them has a distinct personality and different reason to be sexy and desirable.

I've found the game accidentally from the cross-promotion of yours with someone on Patreon. I usually use Steam lastly, so I'd recommend you put your game there. You might attract a good fortune of new people, especially knowing your game's quality. I can promise, that I'll buy it as soon as it hits the market)

Take care, make games, you have my love. Cheers!

(+1)

Thank you very much! 😍
Unfortunately, I can't put my game on Steam because the software I use doesn't allow it 😔

(+1)

Oh.. Licensing issues?

Yep

So I've played a few adult VNs on here, and I gotta say...this is truly one of the best ones(if not the best) on here. The story and interactions between the characters are top notch. The humor is great and so is the NSFW aspect. The first time I played it, I was only able to get the sisters and their best friends. Once I saw there was a walkthrough, I used it to get the full harem ending. And what an ending that was. It was pretty emotional with just four girls, but with all of them? It almost brought a tear to my eye to see so much love between them all. I was sad it had to end. :(


I've started to play Eternum and can't wait for more updates! Keep up the amazing work!

Thank you so much!!

este juego estuvo muy bueno me hizo llorar por la polla y por los ojos de lo bueno que esta

This game is a real gem and definitely deserves support, as does the creator Caribdis. The Story is definitely interesting with lots of nsfw scenes that just feel right and the humour is top notch. There are also multiple endings depending on your previous choices with some being a bit tricky to get without the walkthrough but that's also part of the fun ^^

The "secret" ending is pretty neat but achieving it is kind of a slog tho as you definitely have to play the game in a way that wasn't intended and i already got attached to all the characters as I did it last... which would be my only regret i have about this exceptional experience.

If it was on steam, I'd buy it gladly as this game is truly worth something! I find it mindblowing that it can be available for free.

Anyway tldr: game is awesome play it and do support the creator if you can ;)

(+1)

Thank you very much, blaubul <3

I created an account so i could write how much I enjoyed the game, this is 100% worth downloading and the best completed VN ever made the story gets serious when it needs to be and there is no lack of comedy in this story. and the actual scenes and animation were really well done as like most people I came for something to play as a H game but as I believe i can speak for most people in which we stayed for the story and characters  the story telling was amazing . As stated before this is the best VN game ever completed as I've played Eternum, another game by Caribdis which is i have high hopes for as it keeps the comedy and same intriguing story telling and character building  and I believe it might just beat  Once in a Life Time as they've also improved on various other thing so Eternum is a must play after this one and i cant wait for it to be finished keep up the great work Caribdis.    (ps mike best character.)  (i would also love if mike could make a appearance in Eternum even just a tiney bit it would be awesome) (also the ending made me tear up it was amazing) 

Thank you so much!!!

(+2)

If you're even thinking about getting this game, 100% do it. It's by far the best VN I've ever played and the only one that comes close is Cari's other game Eternum. This game has an amazing story, amazing scenes, amazing characters, everything is a 10/10. I cannot stress how good the writing in this game is compared to others that I've played that it seems on another level. At some points the game is a comedy, a horror game, an erotic VN, a tearjerker, it has everything. I'm honestly so glad I showed up late to this game because it allowed me to play the whole thing in a few sittings and had me engrossed the entire time. Also, Mike is the best character in fiction.

Thank you, glad you liked it <3

i guess also with creampie we need cumflation thing

(+1)

Did I expect to get emotional at the ending? No way. Did I? Yes, yes I did. 

Seriously though, awesome work, I went into this game thinking it would just be another silly nsfw game, but now I'm left wanting even more story and comedy! I already played the 0.2 version of eternum and I am so happy to see that none of the charm from this game was lost in the slightest.

Much love bro.

(ps. what is the song that plays during the harem ending? Shit slaps.)

Thank you so much, man!
I'll be right behind you Josephine, Josh Woodward

This game is f*cking awesome! what the hell 11/10 man. 

The ending made me cry. Mike is the best guy in this game


Also what's the song name when judie and james went to date?

Thank you ^^
Get you off my mind - Ten Towers

What is Once In A Lifetime?

A bloody MASTERPIECE!

The story may be rough around the edges, but it is executed well and improving it might ruin the overall feel that the game has going for the player in terms of charms and quirkiness - so perhaps a true masterpiece?

The character models are heavily altered and unique - compared to Honey Select standard models. I know very well how Honey Select can place a heavy limit on character creations and the various sliders can be a tedious pain to deal with without having any reference values or mods to assist you. I love the emphasis on the more expressive eyes and the actual expressions used to show the various moods of the characters. It's superb and not many ren'py or HS games can say the same - at least not in the same order of magnitude.

The setting and mood is amazing. Especially the light hearted and down right slapstick comedy moments where the MC is directly brought to bear on several occasions. *Train scene* *Hint hint*

The only downside I have and wish to complain about is that it was not longer, that there was not more scenes with especially the two older charming ladies. Perhaps a somewhat sizeable epilogue? Their personalities were so well grown that it felt like a pity to have so little of them in terms of presence and interaction/sex.

9,7/10

Look in the baground the bodyguard helps you in the left

Thank you for making this game! I just finished it and I love every aspect about it :)
I'll be playing your other game at some point. Seems interesting! (I felt like it was mentioned in this game about there being some virtual reality thing that was supposed to be really advanced. Could have that been a hint to your next game? Idk ;-;)

It is ^^ I hope you like it too

(3 edits)

10/10. Great story and hot scenes, but the humor alone makes this game worth playing: probably the first game to make me laugh out loud. The graphics where created with Honey Select, right? It be awesome if you could share the character cards, maybe on your patreon?

Thank you!
Yeah, as you just said, they're available on my Patreon ^^

I finished this game 5 months ago and forgot to review, the game is great the story is fantastic.

 the jokes are funny not alot of game has made me laugh.

I was a little sad when it ended cause i wanted more but then i saw u were making another game tried it out and its already looking great hope its as good as oial.

(+1)

I hope so too. Thanks!

(1 edit) (+2)

Okay, i never leave comments, i usually play and enjoy myself, and pass to another, but man this game !! Whithout speaking of the lewd scene (which were incredible), i absolutly loved the story. You have such an incredible imagination.

/!\ Spoil /!\

Even if i didn't finish all path with all characters, i wasn't surprised to see Mike as the pilot, but i'm just wondering how all of this could have happened if i didn't let him come out of jail with me ? I don't need answers i will retry the game doing different choice but this is obssessing me !

/!\ End of spoil /!\

Also i have a question, how do i know if i finished the story of certains characters ? like i saw in comments someone was talking  about Jasmine, but idk if i could go further or not

Edit : i'm stupid i just need to look the "paths" menu but idk when i fucked up with the girls, can't we finish the game completly in once ? and why Iris and Aiko doesn't have a number to the side of "following path" ?

Anyway, thanks for your answers bc i know you will respond, keep going buddy, i'm going to download Eternum because i believe you're doing as good work as on Once In A Lifetime

(+1)

Thank you so much!
Don't worry about the numbers, you just have to worry about keeping all paths open. If you have all the scenes in the gallery unlocked you didn't miss any content. And yeah, you need Mike to get the harem ending!

(+2)

Yeah i read the walkthrough and i saw where i missed some path, i will try the other end but that's hard to keep only one girl and leave the others behind >< i feel like i betray them ahah

Finished it yesterday. Best game in this site and easily one of the best games i have played. 

Thank you very much <333

(+1)

Id just like to start off by saying i haven't finished the game quite yet but i assume im nearly done ive got to the part with the trip to the beach, either way im going to be sad when its over i have really enjoyed it absolutely amazing story and im sure the ending will be great, Lauren has completely stole my heart (everything id want in real life but no ones that lucky hehe), i will be sure to play Eternum after but i will be sad to leave Lauren and this amazing story behind.

Thank you for creating this amazing experience       

Thank you for playing it!

(+1)

This is best of best. You know what you are doing and man, you're excellent at it. You gave me a sleepless night, I laughed and trembled with joy like a maniac in the middle of the night, only you can do this to me till now.

Can't wait for Eternum. Anywhere, anytime, at any price, you already got a purchase. You have my word man!

(+1)

Thank you so much for your support! 😍
I hope you like it too

When there's pregnancy but i never encountered one.


Looks like i have to play the game from the start.

I only had Aiko and Jasmine ending so i might've missed other routes even though there's a guide

Yeah you should try to complete the game with all the girls :D

I just created this account just now so I could just stress my profound gratitude to you @Caribdis ! I had just just finished Once in a Lifetime after I finished your new project "Eternum" and damn... You and your team all deserve high praise within the visual novel community because the talent you project is unreal!  From artwork to storyline dialogue, it's just all perfectly blended into; what not only in my opinion but I'm pretty sure a majority of the players opinion is just a work of art. The VN community is extremely lucky to have someone like you creating projects and I hope you can find yourself successful off of this because you and your team deserve it! Cant wait for what the future holds!

Thank you very much <3

Why Jasmine's path lost ? I can't find any solutions to follow her path

Download the walkthrough to see where you could have missed points!
