VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Once in a Lifetime [v1.0] [Caribdis]

11/10

Just finished the game holy shit man what a plot, the female are cute, the writing is good, the sex is good, animation is good too and iam always entertained with mike and hiromi

crazy good game.

keep up the good work sir

While this doesn't always compare favorably to Eternum, Caribdis's second game (which is the best adult game I've played), it still compares extremely well to almost everything else. The animations can be a bit technically lacking at times, but all the scenes are still great. The story is decent, and at times quite funny, and the girls are interesting. I find it difficult to think that someone could regret playing this game.

I thought I already gave a review, but it seems like I didn't, so let's do it:

This Game is still (after 2 Years) one of my absolute favorites on this site, even nowadays, while searching for other games, I still catch myself comparing games to this one. The humor, the girls (especially the sisters), the story, the world, everything was an experience.

To be honest, I came for a quick wanker, but I stayed and i not only touched my noodle but also my soul.

I know he has a new project and I wish him only the best with it and that he has even more success, but I am a complete degenerate, who only plays games that have incest in it, so I will probably not play it.

But I heard it's good, so check it out guys, NOW

TDU.

Tear jerkingly (hehe) beautiful.

I didn't really know what to expect when I first downloaded the game; I just wanted an incest visual novel with impregnation content, but what I got was so, so much more.

The visuals were absolutely stunning, the characters were beautifully designed and written, and the soundtrack of the game was actually an amazing score for it. But the story was without a doubt one of the best I've ever read in a VN. It's engaging, it's quippy, it's at times actually quite scary, and absolutely Fantastic. It's more than a bit cheesy at times but the good thing is that it's self aware, and very meta in its quips and jokes.

I will keep this on my PC for years to come.

This is my favorite game on this site. yes the "content" is great...but the story is so good that it would've won an emmy as just a normal tv show. The good end actually made me feel connected to the story and its characters in a way i haven't felt since I was a kid wondering what was gonna happen to my favorite cartoon character every week

Excellent game, great, witty writing all along.
Awesome character design and visuals in general.
This is a really fun game that hooks you with a great story and just keeps on giving.
At first it feels like a basic, but fun story with not that much sexual content, but eventually leads you to a lot of interesting plot twists. The major secret in this game blew my mind, I didn't really expect it, and the story is just amazing. Maybe one of the best out there, IMO, maybe even better than Eternum. It has so much humor, witty lines, and unexpected events. I wish I could play it again without knowing anything. D
Highly recommend this game to everyone! Thank you Caribdis!

I started playing Eternium first before touching this, I wish I did this first! But in either case both games are masterpieces, and the developer has clearly taken lessons learned from Once in a Lifetime and refined it in their newest game.

I started playing this a while after I caught up to eternum and recently just finished it. Gotta say that I really love Caribdis' humor and the characters that they make, I wish you the best of luck with Eternums development

This game is really fun! Of course, it has its flaws and things I don't like, but luckily there weren't many of them.

Animations are ok, MC is much more interesting than many others, the girls are cute, the other characters are cool. Mike is great! I was glad to see him at the end!!

I laugh so many times and I like this horror scenes, story was interesting, both main and minor secondary.

This is a game I can wholeheartedly recommend!

It's fun, the characters are good, but it's dragged down by incest themes and a not-insubstantial amount of melodrama. Despite these drawbacks, the it still manages to provide an enjoyable read. The elements that make it fun, such as the engaging characters and well-crafted storylines, outweigh the negative aspects.

There are already so many positive reviews with detailed explanations, I'll just add my 2 cents.

I can't remember when I laughed so much during a se. game. There are so many humorous moments.

Of course, not everything is perfect (especially some story elements, the hospital chapter is far too sinister for this game).

I don't care much about graphics, overall they're fine and work at the important moments. ;-)

Many thanks and good luck for your further work, Caribdis.

I absolutely loved the entire experience, from the captivating build-up to the beautifully crafted story and the way the characters seamlessly intertwined with one another. It was truly a joy to watch. The portrayal of the mother character was particularly tender and heartwarming, evoking a strong emotional response. The surrounding story was equally compelling, keeping me engaged and intrigued throughout. The way the narrative unfolded and the characters evolved in relation to each other was masterfully done. The balance between the personal journeys and the larger story arc was perfect, providing a satisfying and fulfilling viewing experience. Overall, it was a delightful and captivating piece that left a lasting impression

Everything is great but you should be advised that you are unfortunately playing as a British. Other than this sadistic bit of characterization, the entire game is well-written and very well-animated.

Here is an incest game with some supernatural elements but with an overall engaging and great story. The renders are fantastic and the humor is spot on. What is awesome about this game is how clear it is to be involved with any one of the love interests. The game does a superb job of keeping certain love interests out of most of the story if you don't want anything to do with them. The biggest foible of this game is the fact that a somewhat innocuous choice in the middle of the game will lead you towards the bad end with no way of getting out of it. It is definitely a game worth playing.

the best part of the game was that it managed to blend serious with humor; something pretty much all VNs fail at. long immersive story with plenty of dialogue. while i detest the use of honey select for games as its low quality; the animations were pretty good. the girls were all fairly enjoyable to interact with.

Guys.. I don't understand what is happening here with all the reviews honestly.

People here mention "immersive story". Ok, so the game is set in real world, and has "slice of life" premise to it. But in first 30 minutes you shoot zombies with a gun in an abandoned lab where you find deformed bodies of experiments victims. There is a ton of characters and names, which fly before your eyes with a speed of light and there is no reason to remember any of them. Also M/S route goes like this: "Therapist told me to jerk off his cock. Well, what do". Then Mom jerks MC's cock literally 1 second later. Again, it is porn game, no biggie, but how is that a 10/10 story?


People mention "gameplay". Yeah, it's cool if you like to suddenly uncover the fact that you screwed the route of a certain girl because 2 hours ago you named her favourite color wrong. Unplayable without the walkthrough. Or, if you don't want any porn in your porn game - then, of course, it is playable, feel free to waste 6 hours of your life.

People mention "graphics" and "animations". It is Honey Select graphics and animations 101. Those look ugly 50% of a time, which is normal, but, again, I don't get the hype. Sisters look cute but mom for example - is literally default model with white hair.

Didn't get it. Didn't get it at all.

This game was truly beautiful work. I had experienced every emotion there are. Definitely hidden gem, I'm sad that I discovered it a little late. Everyone should give this a try.

Caribdis, damn, you definitely know how to create masterpiece. Music placements was on point. Clever writing that takes your mind to everywhere. Thank you for your time. Eternum can't be completed fast enough.

Amazing game. What an incredible experience. The sisters are the best. The sex scene and dialogue are hot AF. Bonus point for letting the player decides which girls they want to pursue in the harem.

Can't I believe I could find a finished and satisfying incest game on this site.

I must say that I met the creator for playing eternum, then I saw that he had this, which is his first work, I had little expectations because it was his first game but... Very good game, I was really impressed, I wish I could complain because it is his first game and as the first game he did very well

THE GOOD
At first I didn't see a solid story but then it became very good. I mean adding that suspense with the supernatural seemed like a good decision to me, because at first it only seemed like a typical story for a boy at school, but then it turned into something very entertaining and that hooked me well. For the graphic part, very good, I'm not complaining much, the girls had good designs (although some were very similar) but everything was fine, the areas, and even the extra characters, everything was fine according to how the story was developing. Here I think the best thing was the art style, because I think he became known for his character design, which drew attention and created a work where it is not only sex, but also does not have a kind of logical sense of what was shown, basically It is a game that has a plot and extra scenes +18.Another thing is that the relationship of the protagonist with the "most important" protagonists, although a bit rushed, seemed to me a good development of those relationships.

THE BAD... or not?
The bad thing and I think the main thing was... is that it's a very short story. I feel that everything was developed too quickly and despite wanting to implement a bit of suspense and supernatural themes, they developed it very quickly, they stepped on the accelerator. This made several characters not stand out much for suddenly wanting to move faster in the story. For example, Jazmin had little participation and there is no logical weight (at least from my point of view) that makes her fall in love with the main character, it also happens with the teacher, from one moment to the next she begins to see the main character as a target of love, but there is no forceful weight behind that reason. Aiko, they showed her at the beginning and I thought that she was going to be a person with a tougher character, but let's say that her personality did not fit me with the plot weight that she has in the story and that also could not give a convincing reason why she fell in love with the main character... On the other hand, in terms of background music, there is little content, if there are some scenes that have it but there are others that have nothing. But this is his first game and despite these points that I commented, it still seemed like a very good game to me.

I highly recommend this game, I draw the story (Despite what I already said before) and the +18 scenes are enjoyable; and yes, you have to think that this game is oriented to be a sexual game, but this author took that further and not only put erotic scenes because yes, but develop a good story and add that content that makes the game more interesting . I recommend this game, very good and after this follow the author to continue with his next story... Eternum... Congratulations by the way!!!

I feel that the creator, what he did in this game was to make a draft, to see what could go wrong and what could be useful, in his next game, to improve those negative points that he had... and as far as eternum goes, it goes for very good way, because eternum promises to be quite long...

Mi waifu favorita fue Lauren...

Good story with humor, sex with all the girls, not tedious at all to play through.
You get a decent amount of choices that impact the playthrough.
Also, it's not using Daz3D, so for me it looks way better.
