    Honestly one of the best ones I've ever played. Very good story and character development, alongside a good system to keep track of the decisions made and several different endings that were well done. 10/10 game, and the ending made me feel so many good emotions.

    The story and animations are damn near perfect. Keeps you gripped in and actually provides a fun tale with exciting moments rather than being just essentially interactive porn. Love this creator because they made a game that has all the sexy hot moments, completely animated btw, that you'd want, but it is also a good story.

    the perfect formula of storytelling, romance, plot, and comedy put together into one game.

    unlike most other games of unfunny comedy, this game actually made me laugh out loud a few times.

    plot is 10/10

    the romance and relationships are great, only one i didn't really like was jasmine's path.

    overall a very good game. definitely give it a shot. checking out eternum once it's updated a little more for sure.

    I mean, the other reviews have said it all. The hype and praise that Once in a Lifetime receives is absolutely deserved. There is only a singular problem with this VN. Graphicly, it's not great. If you can get past that, you'll be greeted with one of the best experiences.
    It's funny, suspenseful, horny, and just plain fun. I never really laugh out loud when playing visual novels, but this one is an entirely different beast. From countless amazing references to fantastic use of 3d models and their faces. Once in a Lifetime truly sets a high bar when it comes to writing and general charm. I can't recommend this game enough. Seriously, just play it.

    Hi there, let me start to say that I've been on this site for many months now and by the time of this review was made I only made like 2 or 3 other reviews tops.

    I want to say that this game never ever caught my attention until I read it in another game post that this one had a lot of comedy.
    Now I enjoyed Mifly city, Personal Trainer, The DeLuca Family, Acting Lessons and One more chance not because of the sexual scenes alone but because of the pure comedy and this game managed to surpass them all by far!!!! The only one that I think about that gets close in pure comedy is In a Scent, but that one is still far to new.

    Anyway let's keep this on topic shall we?
    I'm usually not really a fan of paranormal or magic games unless they help you with getting in someones pants but on this game not only I enjoyed it also made me "starved" for more and more about the story.
    All the scenes even thought they are tiny are up for the quality of the time they were made.
    The affection/path points I really don't if they serve for any purpose only to know you choose the correct answer.

    Out of all of the games on this site I really, really can't recommend enough of this master piece. Yes it has a flaw here and there but they are so meaningless that aren't even worth mention.

    My only regret about this game is not having tried it sooner.

    I just hope, Caribdis, you're next game is just as good or better than this one, because the expectations and hype are so f-ing high right now.

    Tl;dr - Tried the game, it's awesome and easily one of the top 5 on this site.

    Cheers

    Absolutely wonderful... Not only were the sexy scenes HOT, but the story was also awesome. You actually can make some really bad choices in this game. (I like that a lot.) The story itself is a heck of a roller coaster and I really found myself following it... Not to take away from the NSFW stuff and there was certainly a lot. The graphics were great. The animations were well done. Every aspect was great. 5/5 from me!

    The Bubblegum Goth!

    Long story short - you should play this game. It's really one of the best 3D porn games you can find in internet. The rest of a review will be mostly about my thoughts on how it could be even better (in theory), but you still must understand that this game is really, really close to be considered as masterpiece.
    Also, this game is highly recommended for those who just started to get interested by porn games and want to have some fun. Quality H-scenes and lenient gameplay will leave player in satisfaction in 95% cases. But let's get back to the reviewing.


    So let's talk about "problems" of this game. It's mostly nitpicking because any other porn game would suffer from many lot worse flaws, but I still think that there's no limit to perfection. And my first nitpick will be about gameplay process.
    1. The whole relationship system is redundant. Points doesn't affect gameplay anyhow, as long as you're on the right path. Their only purpose - show which of your choices they liked or not, which is just a lame way to imitate progression, meanwhile the actual progression with girls is clearly visible in the game.
    2. Path system is sometimes non-intuitive. You easily can lose a path with a heroine you like and you wouldn't even notice this, unless you will constantly check the "Paths" tab in the menu. It is also weird that you can lose a whole progression with a heroine only because you've said something that you shouldn't had (but it'd be hella hard to implement this into the game: it is already very big, and the only way to solve this is to make it even bigger)

    Plot-related issues:
    1. Am I the only one which don't understand the connection between the game's title and the game itself?
    2. And, which comes from the 1st paragraph, the beginning of the game doesn't really connects to the rest of the game. The first impression you get when you start the game - this is a game about fixing your school marks and relationship with the girls as well (which is ~70% porn games are about, boredom, so I probably should be thankful that the game isn't like that). My guess is that author had 1 idea in their mind but, during production, changed it to another and tried to re-make the story. In my opinion - not really good. But you can't drop your ongoing project to start another one, right? Also it'd believe more into MC luring heroines with demon nature and big cock than with fixing his school marks.
    3. The game's main plot theme is about cultists - and that's the weakest part of this game. The only vibe they give to me is the vibe of 4chan massons memes about hidden governments with Jews in charge. Thankfully, the game doesn't really getting too focused on that and focuses on the progression between MC and heroines instead. But what if the cultists actually were a threat? Or, which probably would've suited the game better, they were caricatures on society's problems? The game's lore is really weak and if the game was only about it then nobody would've played it. But, again, this is only ~5-10% of the game so it's not critical at all. Also it doesn't tries to be somewhat significant and serves only as a background for a real show.

    This sums it. Literally nitpicking, I feel so filthy. But the game is massive and it inevitably would have flaws, which I've listed in here. Nobody asked for it, but it's my pleasure. Again, in my very humble opinion, this is the best 3D porn game you can find and play. Porn scenes, characters progression and intercourses, gags (yeah, this game is pretty funny I must notice,) and a lot more are really magnificent. A few flaws can't ruin it anyhow.

    5/5 - Peace

    Wonderful game, I would have loved to get more scenes with Carla or Jasmine, but honestly, this is one of the best AVN I've played.

    Great choice of ending music too!

    Props to Caribdis for such an amazing journey from beginning to end!

    Review for version 1.0

    So, I'm pretty sure this is the first adult game I've reviewed, and I'm pleased to slap a full five star rating on here. There were a couple of minor things that bugged me, but the overall quality of the game is enough for them not to affect the final score.

    The pros:
    - Riveting story, legit had me wondering what would happen next
    - Great humor. A few jokes fell flat from time to time, but overall great. Got multiple laugh out loud moments from me.
    - I enjoyed the girls quite a bit. Both their personalities and their designs. Good variety, and I liked all of them.
    - The rest of the cast were great too, whether as characters themselves, gags, or simply to service the plot. Stabby Mike is a legend. I defy anyone to make it through the game without becoming a Stabby Mike fan.
    - Titillating sex scenes. While a lot of the animations seemed to just be canned Honey Select animations, they more than served their purpose. The dialogue was nice as well, the dirty talk ranged from serviceable to hot as hell.

    (minor) Cons:
    - Had some gore. Not a fan of gore in general, but there is one particular instance of a gutted corpse being front and center on screen that I found especially uncomfortable. Luckily it wasn't near a sexy scene, so no boner loss, but still unsettling. Expect to see some blood, a little gore, and some disturbing looking critters.
    - Lackluster pregnancy content. Major pregnancy fan, so was disappointed to only see two or three images showing any pregnancy, and even though you can impregnate all of the girls you don't get to see all of them pregnant. I loved the moments they discovered their pregnancies, though. But I definitely would have loved to have seen more shots of them pregnant.

    And that last bit is the real kicker here: the fact that I was disappointed in the area of my favorite fetish (pregnancy) and STILL give this five stars should tell you how much I loved it overall. A masterpiece of adult VNs, and I've played through quite a few.

    Once in a Lifetime is an incredible game! An amazing mix of story, humor, romance, and love, I just couldn't step away from it. Finished it in a couple days, and will definitely give it another playthrough a while later!

    Just finished playing this game.
    It's an amazing experience.
    Actually this is my first review here.
    You've just got yourself an another loyal fan!

    Author (Dev) really took effort in creating this. I can feel it.
    Story is not hard to understand. It's actually very simple about a secret cult. Author (dev) has interesting sense of humor honestly. Great writing, well paced story!
    This game also has some silly jokes, it makes you laugh in middle of playing. Never thought r18 game would be so fun to play.

    The emotions in this game are so vivid, along with the dialogues.
    Those suspicious eyes, speechless faces staring right to your soul. 5/5
    Even sometimes characters crack joke in middle of serious conversation.
    The scripted lines are well balanced with the models expression. It's accurate.

    I've seen in many games where characters fail to match the scripted lines which results in awkward character design.
    I'm sure if dev had choosen daz over HS, it would've not been this good.

    At the very least characters would've been flawed. That I'm sure of it after playing it now. (No offense to daz fans btw)

    Playing this game made me reaffirmed my love for Honey Select again!

    Last but not least, our MVP Stabby Mike!!
    This man carried MC all the way to the end. Roff~
    Also "travel guides” are no joke. I'm serious!

    P.S. Stabby Mike and Hiromi. Good Job!

    So dev, I'll be playing your next game soon enough. ^^

    Final rating : 4.5/5

    Great writing, nice pacing, hot girls and a good story. Definitely worth trying. Nice to have a game where things don't feel rushed. Hopefully someone will eventually do a remaster. One of the best in it's genre that I've come across. 10/10

    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.
