Once in a Lifetime is indeed worth the time (It's the dev's 1st project after all). And while Eternum is still a WIP, give it a try, you won't regret it.

also so far there's like 5-6 hours? of solid storytelling in Eternum. Not a ton to get your rocks off to, but more than enough. Game is about story, characters, and humour, so there are really only some building-up scenes so far

I really liked the game, the plot is coolly spelled out and the characters are just superbly made the game is made with a soul and a good hard let you have a lot of fans and subscribers and a lot of health

Well i played the 0.2 version in about 6 hours and the 0.3 version again in about 9 hours. But english is not my mother tongue so im not a fast reader. Anyway this game is so far the best title i played among dozens. The characters, the plot, the humor and the well designed graphics are giving me tripleA vibes. Ill start from the beginnig anyway as soon 0.4 is here. For me the game has replay value, so i highly recommend you to give it a shot, even if its just for some hours.

I played Once in a Lifetime after finishing the 0.3 version of Eternum. Its not as good as Eternum, but you can literally feel the process which Caribdis is going through as a developer while playing the game. It starts off a little bit sluggish, but its getting better and better as processing. I was satisfied, so i think its worth it.

YMMV but in my experience...
0.1 - 3.5 hours to finish
0.2 - 3.5 hours to finish
0.3 - 3.5 hours to finish
Note that this was with a walkthrough and with me trying to take my time but failing and going back to my usual reading speed in some parts of the story (I read quite fast tbh).
As for "Once in a Lifetime," my advice is to play that game first before playing this. Granted, it starts off slow and the renders kinda look downgraded compared to Eternum, but the story is decent enough if you're patient with it and the writing and pacing improves quite fine per update.
The reason for the advice though is that the flaws of that game (i.e. lack of music in most cases, meh graphics, not every girl getting proper development or screentime) really become apparent if you start off with Eternum, and might deter you from continuing if you're looking for the kind of quality Eternum has. Not to mention some of the callbacks from OIAL in Eternum might fly over your head, especially if the inevitable cameos start popping up in future patches.

I had to go look him up, but now I'm going to be watching him!
I actually hear the actor

I second James Hong being the voice I heard at first. From Big Trouble in Little China specifically. It would be awesome if Chop-Chop makes a joke about green eyes at some point. But that might be too niche of an easter egg.I had to go look him up, but now I'm going to be watching him!

I just love it when the story gets interesting, and cherry on top the renders are beauties

It's still worth playing through regardless. Despite lesser visual fidelity when compare to Eternum, Once in a Lifetime is a fairly interesting story. Around version 0.4 - 0.5 of the game is when the story starts to pick up in quality and scope (which is several hours in depending on whether you're using a guide or not).

I honestly hated 3D/honey select style games before, idk why, then I played Once in a Lifetime, my first 3d avn, and it got me hooked, to Caribis' style, and honey select games in general (tho also set the bar really high where most other games feel unplayable now lol)

YES! I almost mentioned BTiLC, but I figured no one would know what I was talking about! Either "green eyes" or "nice knife, goodbye Mr. XXXXXX"

Can anyone share me a save from the finale of 0.3? I changed from android to PC and had to redo everything again
If you activate "skip : all" and remember how to beat the horror section/instal the mod then the game is quite quick

Here's a save and my persistent. I'm playing the suggested route for the most part and haven't rejected anyone. Using the walkthrough/gallery unlocker mod. I don't know that it will be an issue if you aren't since this mod isn't nearly as involved as something from Sancho or OscarSix.
