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.
