OIaLT stills remains a pretty solid game. Above of many games here on this website.
But Eternum is now in another level , i agree.
It is the story that pushes OIaL, and until the very end is adamn good and fun story. Later on it becomes a little too... Sci Fi almost out of nowhere, but it is a good ride.

Not gonna lie...coming from Eternum and now trying OiaLT...it is a bit rough but it also shows how much Caribdis has progressed in pretty much all aspects of developing a VN. :HideThePain:
While it is true that Eternum is on another Level and clearly an improvement (as expected, since Once in a Lifetime was the first game), I would not compare Once in a Lifetime to Eternum. Compare it to other games on this site instead and the quality is still high.

For me, playing Once in a Lifetime first and then playing Eternum once 0.4 was released, the jump in quality was big.

To me it felt like Caribdis got bored of OiaLT near the end and was mentally focusing on eternum already.

Yeah I wouldn't be suprised if that was the case. I mean don't get me wrong OiAL is good but the end was a little weak compared to the whole start of the game.

But when are we getting v1 release? hope i see it before i die or forget about Avns altogether
Compared to most other developers, Caribdis is pretty hard-working and includes a lot of content in each update. I don't think most people mind the wait as long as the game continues to be as good as it is. Don't forget about AVNs, there's so many great ones out there. Keep playing!

2 and a half should be about right for this game if you want to stretch the story a bit more IMO. 3 would be overkill lol.
I agree with you more than two and a half would be too much to me as well, you can't keep this pace endlessy balanced for stories like this that relies on a perfect mix of humour, thrill and sexy moments to make them interesting and egaging.
Even the best writer (and Caribds showed he is one of them) can toys with too much without risking a tension drop sooner or later. :)
