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

Great game! Funny, lovely characters, animations are fantastic and good use of sound. Well-written (I mean it's still a porn VN) and not full of grammatical errors, hooray!

I was genuinely surprised by this game, not sure why I never took a look at this before.
Easy recommend.

Its ok, the characters aren't the best or particularly memorable, the MC isn't bad but he's hardly enjoyable to play as either, the overall story has good bits that can actually get tense and intrigue you but the pacing feels really off and there are long stretches where the sex and the story just feel completely divorced, making it feel like a distraction to do either or. I think there's a lot of good writing in this but overall it's a bit muddled. Definitely closer to a 4 star than a 2 star though.

Funny, wholesome, hot its got it all. A must play for anyone who enjoys western visual novels really. Bang your mom, bang your sister bang em all really. Brilliant stuff.

The main plot is a bit over the top but its just a vehicle for everything else to happen so who cares. Its like a good RPG, the main story doesnt matter much, although if its the main focus it can be a real hinderance to the game in general. For example fallout 4s main story is incredibly boring. And taking into account there barely any roleplaying in the side quests, it makes it quite a trash RPG game. As an FPS its ok, as there really arent that many FPS single player games out there, but thats not what I want from an RPG.

Anyways OIAL is very good.

Normally i don't bother with writing reviews but i will make an exception for this one. I'm a dude who prefers 2d games over 3d ones. But wow.. This game is easily the best adult visual novel/game i have ever played and it satisfies the player in every area.

Pros:
+A great variety of scenes and fluid animations with multiple angles to view
+Beautiful and cute female characters that don't look like plastic bimbos ( wow that's RARE for a 3DCG game. Patrician taste right there)
+Decent story with amazing humor. Seriously, this game had really funny moments and i love the way they implemented the jokes. Pretty obvious that the dev has a good sense of humor.
+Good song choices.
+MC is not an annoying twat. In fact he's pretty cool.

Cons:
-I loved the ending CGs rolling with "I'll Be Right Behind You, Josephine". But i feel like there should have been a proper epilogue before those CGs with some interaction between characters.

Overall, if you have a "plan to play" list, put this game before anything else. It won't disappoint you.

great story, perfect dialogue, art style took a bit to get used to but its super hot. the humour is surprisingly good, as good as you can get on an adult game. played the android version and it ran completely fine just a little lag while loading animations. possibly the best adult game ive ever played. i actually got sad when it ended because i was hooked, only nitpick is maybe there couldve been a longer wind down for the ending (like more scenes at the end). would recommend to anyone looking for a good adult VN.

Overall great game.
The story was interesting, the jokes were funny and the characters were lovable. And the game is a decent length, with well-written dialogue. I recommend getting the walkthrough mod if you don't want to do multiple playthroughs as there are a lot of options/choices in the game.

The models are detailed and not-stock, which is pretty rare, so that's a massive bonus, but if this were a film, the plot and pacing would have me out of my seat and headed for the ticket booth for a refund.

This game is amazing, all the girls are great but your two sisters are something else... I genuinely really liked them. The art is awesome, very hot, and the story is interesting. On top of all of that the game is really funny, have quite few good chuckles while playing. 10 out of 10 game.

4/5 from all aspect
4/5 the render n animations decent, pretty much i only love jasmine, yes dont mind me only love side girl
4/5 the story, yet lot of humor, but i m really sad the ending just focused on harem, for some1 maniac harem u will love this,
4/5 the ui, pretty looks comfortable for my eye, but the box is still to big, yes i know ive play complet ver, dont mind me
n yes u can see it is all 4

Absolutely, like really really good game! One of the best adult game I have ever played, even considering "normal games" included, it still has one of the better if not one of the best short to middle long story based game I've played until this day! A BIG BIG recommandation to at least try this one out! No regrets!

Probably one of the best games on this site I've had the pleasure of playing. A perfect blend of humor, story and, of course, content.
I had a blast playing and recommend it to anyone who's got the time and interest in it.
A special note has to be given to the soundtrack, surprisingly. I found it quite fitting in most places and the Menu Theme can get stuck in ones head quite quickly.

It is truly one of a kind

Cocaine! Funnier and more interesting than expected. It's one of the highest-reviewed games on this site and part of it is the consistency, self-awareness, and constant callbacks. Needle-drops all over the place. Final ending felt a little let-down because I wanted to see more of what happened to these people.

Great story! Great visuals!

Cons:
-Only good endings seem to be with 1 girl or all of them, really wish you could get a subset of the girls
-The ending seems really rushed and you don't get any kind of feedback from any of the girls after the ending

Amazing game, got satisfying endings(Harem/Asteroth) and honestly such a fun and interesting story. Top class, love it.

The individual characters you encounter provide something wonderful to the story, mostly the core group and the like but even additional bit parts are really well done, and some of the scenes had me in stitches, the author is clearly great at story pacing and a solid sense of humor. It's true that models were sometimes kinda pretty uncanny at the beginning of the story (creepy, unnatural limbs and waists), like alternatives from "Mandela Catalogue", but it will pass. (dev got the knock of it at some point)
And with the in game announcement of a new game in the works i am very much looking forward to see his next project. Cheers!
PS: I hope to see it release on Steam, to add it to my cOllection of games there.

Man, I had put this one off for the longest time because I really didn't dig the art style but I'm glad I listened to the reviews because this is a kickass game. I haven't played many AVNs that are actually finished but this is one of the best. Really enjoyed the writing and humor as well as the girls. And I got used to the style eventually.

So here my humble opinion. The game and story is good. It's have comedy romance friendship and many more. Well when mc going to fight astaroth i thought mike is dead well it's quite shame if he die because i kinda like him. And everything ending i think harem route is the best one. So for who not play the game yet and wanna to tryout so i recommend you guys download this game you won't be disappointed. And i hope devs make other game with good storyline. I play adult game not because of the sex but because of the story. So i really recommend that you guys download this game. Here my honest opinion if i can give 10 star i will give it but shame i can just give 5.

Im starting to like this more cartoony 3D style more and more. Not aiming for realism avoids the problem of uncanny valley entirely.

Fantastic game all round, and unlike 90% of the games with great potential, this one actually was and is finished.

The story is good, intriguing and even though the ending is nothing mindblowing, it's really the journey that matters, as cliché as it is to say that. (Not true universally tho e.g. GoT) The game does not drag on and knows when it should close the story.

The characters are vibrant and unique, even if everyone has pretty much the same body. Some, admittedly, were better fleshed out than others, but I prefer that and the game being finished over the game being stuck on v0.49 or something for eternity, because the author revises and remakes every minor detail about each character, never making any progress towards actually finishing the game.

The only negatives I can think of is firstly, there is a LOT of scrollwheel action if you want to get the best possible outcomes. For this reason, I would strongly recommend installing the walkthrough mod, even if it kind of trivializes any "challenge" (its a VN ) in the game.

Best of luck to the dev with ETERNUM and any other future ventures.
5/5 Game, felt that since I did not pay a dime for the game, the least I could do was leave a glowing review.

Truly a masterpiece as mentioned by others. I very seldom post reviews, and I only do so for games I thought the best, and truly this game is one of those! From the characters, the pretty girls, the buildup pace (which is neither slow nor fast, just right) and the HUMOR, everything is superb! Story is not realistic but sure it is entertaining. This is one of the best, dont miss this game peeps!

This game really caught me off guard when I played this from beginning to finish.

I thought this looked liked any other 3D Ren'py visual novel game that is never finished and sometimes look odd to play. But this exceeded my expectations. This a fantastic game. A Harem with a very mysterious and cult thriller story.

I actually liked and romanced Judie, Lauren, Jasmine, Iris, and Aiko. I loved their sex scenes. I could have romanced Carla or Rebecca, but I didn't.

Prisoner Mike is the Best friend I have never expected. and gotten the Harem Ending. This was the best Adult visual Novel I've ever played.
