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

[Laharl177]

Hey, I just played through the game. Loved it from start to finish, but now I actually find myself in a dilemma.
The title screens theme has stuck with me and I was wondering if anyone knows where to find it to listen to.

That said, again: Marvelous game that I had a lot of fun playing through. Quite literally the definition of "Came for the *plot*, stayed for the Plot."
I'm sure Eternum will turn out to be just as good a game, if not better. I'm hyped already!

Mommy deffo my fav. She's a goddess in both charms and looks.

Carla is definitely hot, but all the girls are so great, it's the first time I don't have a favourite among the others I love them equally I must admit.

We do agree, they all have similar charms, character design itself that's uplifting the looks.
While the sisters are both clearly a 2nd place both in terms of personality, charms and looks, it is mommy that gets the first place, because let's face it.
A mature woman falling madly in love and still being a mom is damn hot.
I mean, she tells him he's grounded, but he twists it around saying something akin to "I don't mind but as long as you're there I can spend so much time on you," or something to that extent (you can quote me the exact line, cba. atm).
The chemistry between them is great and progresses the best.
The sisters simply glided into a relationship with him, while the mother literally got infatuated doing the right things for all the wrong reasons. Jasmine, Iris and Rebecca have their own charms as well, but it is the fact that 3 women so close to him in his life could act so differently as lovers.

EDIT: A shoutout to Dylan741 for always liking my posts. Love you bro!
EDIT 2: Just noticed I replied to YOUR post. ROFL!

I agree with you, your analysis have a strong point yet I really can't say that ( from my personal point of view) is enough to put Carla in the top list, again this is my personal opinion I don't want in any way that this should be seen as the only acceptable point about the LI's list.
To me they all hold an equal and stable position as fav characters, Judie with her bubbling and caring personality, Lauren being ad hard to get yet very loving and caring girl, Carla being the strong and caring mother yet being also a beautiful and sexy woman (for me she's on par with Becca in MNF), Iris with her super adorable and intriguing sexy craziness, Jasmine a fierce fearless sexy tsundere ( with a big heart and ready to leave all to be free and in love with the MC), Aiko strong willed yet with a very sweet personality, Rebecca with her kindness and that crazy side that make her simply adorable.
No sorry my friend I totally accept your opinion, but I stand on mine, I love them too much to choose one among the others, I apologize.

P.S. Of course I like your posts how not to like a person that is willing to talk and interact with solid arguments and respect instead of spiting among the other opinions? I wish we could always have this interactions, the forum would be much more enjoyable this way

I just got a thing for sexy youthful looking blonde long haired fit mommies. If I ever wanted a waifu from a game, it'd be her!

I respect your own opinion. I was just stating why she was #1 for me.

Oh don't worry that's a thing that get me going too.
Yup absolutely, and it's a reason I agree upon completely and it would have been the same for me in any other game, because Carla is everything one can desire to find in a game, and irl too to be honest.

Is there a possibility to get everyone or am I forced to leave some of the girls out of it?
Is there some implications for "following" everyone?
Is there "either that girl or another, not both" thing here?

You can get all the girls or not, depends on you, and if you want to be sure to get all of them use the wt mod.

Now kiss.

Just aside, I love all girls. I just have a thing for Carla because she looks great yet doesn't feel artificial as many milfs usually do in adult games. She has a great balance in personality imo. But I guess all the cast in general in this game is strong.

LOL, no thanks I appreciate him but not at this level, sorry!

Jokes apart yes I agree, the personality of each character is perfectly defined and balanced hence why I can't choose, Carla is simply stunning and I love her deeply, and the other girls too.

Oh Wow! I Changed the Language in the Game to RUSSIAN, Just to see what The Words would Look Like & Now The MENU DISSAPEARS after 2 Seconds on Startup! I can't LOAD or Even START a New Game! I Deleted it, and Extracted a Fresh Copy of the Game and It STILL Does The Same Thing! I Also Deleted The Game Folder in C:\Users\solid\AppData\Roaming\RenPy! Ran the .exe again & it STILL does the Same Thing! I was Just Starting to Enjoy it too! Does anyone have any Ideas how to Fix this Problem?

 

[Vizer007]

Wow, just wow, what a journey it was!
I enjoyed it very much)
Walkthrough mod is a must to play such games, otherwise you will just miss out on content. Heck, I dont really understand why the heck people even make games with dumb choices anymore.
Stabby Mike one true waifu! All scenes with this dude was pure gold!

Agreed, Mike is the best wingman ever!
But all the characters in the game are amazing even the side ones like Asmodeus, Clarice or Hiromi, and you can have that only when the dev planned every single step of the game as a perfectly synchronized element of the mechanism, everything is functional to the correct development of the story nothing is wasted and you're immersed in it from the start to the end, because everything works to make you feel part of it.
This is truly one of the best game I've ever played.

Yep, one of the best ones for sure!
Heck, I cant believe I put it on hold for so long! I noticed it ages ago but played it only now! Well, thanks to that I managed to play it without much wait, but it would be a different type of expirience in its own right...

Me too, but it was worth it, never been so involved with a game like with this one, there's maybe two others I love at the same level.
Now I'm worried about Eternum, knowing the ability as a creator of Caribdis I'm tempted of play it immediately ( and in all honesty I did start doing it), but then I stopped since I'm thinking if it would better to wait 'til it will be completed.
This happens only when someone is so good in creating a story.

Oh, 2 others? Can you tell me what are those games? I might have missed those gems too)
About Eternum, yeah, I will wait a bit longer, at least until the next update before starting (since, lets be honest here, it wil be done in about 3 years, I doubt we can wait that long after knowing what awesome game it can be)

Like a number of others here, I was not a fan of HS games until I encountered OiaL. And to be fair, most of the HS games I've looked at come nowhere near the quality of this game, because it's clear that Caribdis is a master at this. That being said, I have been absolutely blown away by Eternum; he/she has taken his/her skill to yet another level. OiaL is great; Eternum is, in two words, gorgeous, fantastic. Don't have enough words to describe it. I didn't subscribe to Caribdis when I was downloading OiaL, but I'm making up for that now, subscribing at a higher-than-normal level for me, and tipping them on SS when I can afford it.

Anyone looking for other quality HS games, I suggest Now & Then, Ripples, and My New Family. Not sure, but I think Killer7 switched to another program for My New Memories. Even so, it's v. good, as well.
