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

[1tomadeira]

Just finished my first playthrough with this game, very wholesome and filling families holes some. I was not sure I'd be a fan of games with graphics like this and this was the first I've played with them...I was being a picky pirate it seems lol.

Caribdis and Jestur are probably the 2 devs I can recommend the most to support. Very down to earth, hard working, no false promises and good product, as well they engage with their fans when they can.

You can get to choose what you play/support, but you don't get to choose if the games you like the most are made by a dev with principles. But they are. Of course there are also others I can recommend, but these 2 are the ones who won over due their way of being, not only due their product.

This game is just fantastic. You can see how much passion and love went into the development of this game and through out the gameplay I can say for a fact that it really had a huge impact on me. There were times when I forgot I was playing a porn game and I felt so submerged into the story, there were times where I couldn't think of anything but the game because I was so curious about what would happen next and how everything would end. It's hard to find people who liked it as much as I did for being... you know, a porn game, but if the creator reads this I give my thanks and congratulations to them for creating this wonderful game!

It should get NTR or atleast swinging tag and also NTR or sharing should be mentioned in genre column. Especially for the "Sell Lauren".

According to f95 guidelines, Whether it is bad ending or small scene, as long as it's content is in the game, it should get tagged and mentioned in the genre right?

Not this again please. NTR is when you willingly want the LI to be stolen from you. This isn't the case, it was a bad ending, period. Sorry for being blunt, but this was already discussed extensively through the thread, was a complete shitstorm.

The game is ended for quite some time as well, I would maybe understand if the game was in development, but it isn't the case. And yes, I also hate NTR, but it doesn't fit the tag for 1 particular bad ending.

All the hard work, and I have to choose just one girl in the end? I demand a harem ending! The one where I'm taking the money and just stay with all the ladies!

Man, I love these "Cartoonized" renders, I wish more games like this.

Not to mention the story, which is very incredible and funny.

The "style" used is from a game/character creator engine called Honey Select
There's actually a lot of games that use it.

Some I'd recommend are Eternum (second game made by the same developer of Once in a Lifetime, using Honey Select 2), Ripples, Pale Carnations, and The Inn off the top of my head. There's a few others but a lot of them aren't as great (but still good) or very early in development

Another "cartoonized" I'd recommend that isn't Honey Select but imo pretty good, is Mist. Its completed, and dev is working on another game.

Hope you enjoy if you ever consider trying any of these out!

Oh my friend I have some bad news for you ... potentially ending with another playthrough using a walkthrough.

This is hands down the best porn VN I've ever played, I was actively getting anxious as I could see myself getting to the end and had the simultaneous experience of wanting to close the game so it wouldn't end and race through it to see how it ends.

The humor, the story, the hot as fuck sex scenes, the pregnant harem ending epilogue, just everything (even the way they used the odd eye animations were comedically great). The last time I felt like I actually 'got' the characters in a story the same way was finishing persona 5 Royal. There's actually a feeling of a small emotional hole where the game was and that does not happen often and I seriously want expecting it over a 'porn game'.

Stabby Mike wins best supporting character, but all the characters are written so well, I can't wait to play the next game when it gets to the end of development. If anyone is here at the 'last' page and it's somehow on the fence, don't even wait, grab the game, grab the incest patch, if you want the best ending grab the walkthrough and just play it.

Bare Witness isn't a harem game strictly speaking. It has multiple endings (depending on which route/girl(s) you pick) including polygamy ones.

Surprisingly, games like this end in a harem.

Stabby Mike is the true embodiment of GigaChad Thundercock, the supportive and loyal type of friend, that I always like to see in adults' game like this .

I think the only thing I didn't like about Stabby Mike was how the MC always seemed so exasperated to see him when he was one of the few people we knew we could trust. From cell mates to best mates

Quick question! Should I play this game with or without the unofficial patch, which suits the story better?

It’s your choice. For me it’s unpatched - I think it works better since they get over the “taboo” pretty easily.

Thanks! I'm currently playing the game without the patch rn and I think it flows a lot better and more interesting than with one.

Enjoy! One of my all time favourite VNs - even if visually a bit dated. Afterwards try Eternum and Ripples if the “genre” works for you.

Very great VN, nice story, cute girls, love that I saved Mike, although he was described as bad at first, he was actualy a very good person and perfect best friend for the MC. I made an harem of 6 girls, left the mom out, I can't picture me sleeping my mom even she is a cute lady.

The only 1 point upsetting me was if sold Lauren for a night, she get raped, so rolled back as I would never let that happen to my precious sister. Another thing made me wonder and probably never happens, would Lauren dated Oliver if I hadn't seduced her in the first place.

I'm sure to try Eternum as well, had it a while on eye, but wasn't sure yet, but after playing this one I have a good feeling.

Apparently that choice that ended up with Lauren getting raped unleashed somewhat of a shit storm in the OiaL community back then so Caribdis announced never to do anything like that ever again.

I mean, it was an obviously bad choice, so I don't know why people complained about the obviously bad choice ended up to be a bad choice, but okay.

And yeah, Eternum is a considerable step up from OiaL in pretty much all regards.

Loved sleeping with my bastard father’s wife. No relation. Great scenes.
