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

Very solid game. Story was intriguing, girls were adorable, scenes were nice. Worth the playthrough.

One star off as, while it did everything good, it didn't do anything amazingly. Still, minor complaints at most, a good game.

Would love to see postgame content (e.g. harem ending scene)

this game is a masterpiece

- art: 5/5. awesome characters. especially Carlo. I really like her
- story: 5/5. every H-scene is perfectly connected, not just random talk and f*ck. the main story is really awesome too. you don't want to miss it
- animation: 5/5 very smooth. you can even change views.
- gameplay: 5/5 fun gameplay. not too long nor too short. I've spent my all night to finish this game. not regret anything

I really recommend this gem. a must-try game! thank you Caribdis

THIS GAME WAS AMAZING

TLDR, this is maybe one of the best game that's not a freeroam but has a quite good plot.

Pretty much it has a lot of choices, some could even cut the path of one girl to the other, it has a lot of ending, and MY GOD the comedy are on point cus i haven't laugh that much because of a good porn game before.

The maker of this game has a good sense of humor, the porn animation is good and well animated, and some horror part was really spooky yet intriguing. A lot of plot twist are barely noticable and if you don't use the walkthrough mod maybe you'll get so many wrong decision (props to the people who made that mod).

There's only one problem though that many maker has a lot of problem with, they really can't make a good young male faces, some of their faces are really towards the comedic part. It's kinda hard to get used to MC's face when you start the game but eventually he becomes bareable. And also the choice and stupid things that the MC can do will make you facepalm but at least it progress the plot.

Overall this is a great game, there's some flaw but the maker did a pretty good job, i might even consider joining his patreon. I'll wait for the next Caribdis game and hope it'll be better or maybe just as good as this one....

Short Review: One of the best games in this place. Good duration, excelent scenes and a interesting story with tons of funny moments. 5/5 You have to play it.
A bit more extended Review: Once in a Lifetime is the embodiment of "Im a normal guy" and then everything happens. From infiltrate a prision to fight against demonic cults, you're gonna end in tons of funny, absurd, scary and even sad moments, all of them very well writen.
In the LEWD department, its damn good. Hell, even help me to discover how damn beautiful is a girl with is hair messed, more of this please. 10/10.
The only bad thing, if you wanna call that, is the sound or music. The game have a few soundtracks but most of the time its simply silence. I know not every moment in the game need music but maybe a bit more of ambient sound for those silent moments.
And that's all, 10/10, you have to play it.

A game well made and edited, the story is very well organized, the audio and sounds are ok.
The characters are well realized and the scenes are animated and very nice.
It is a very good game, surely one of the best. Congratulations to the Dev. Thank you.

Really enjoy the game. Decisions affect further events in a very interesting way which makes me replayed several times to fulfill the gallery. My final path points are 38/39/24/20 and get the happily-ever-after ending which is really nice and warm. But now I can't help wondering if it is possible to gain all 40/40/25/20 points and unlock some ultra hidden ending? Anyway 5/5, definitely worth playing

Once in a Lifetime is really well done. The cast is interesting. The art is well done. The sex scenes are hot. It fires on all cylinders there, but that is not what makes this stand out. The writing does. The story is really funny when it needs to, serious when it wants to, touching and heartfelt when it is called for, and somewhat over-the-top in a very pleasant way pretty much the whole way through. And at no point did I ever feel like the characters acted out of character. This game dev is one to keep an eye on, and this game is worth your time.

One of the, if not the best H-Game I've played so far.
I love the story and the characters, its just a pure bliss to play.
The mix of humorous storytelling and interesting scenery gives the game a very nice feel. I think this game is a complete Unique experience in comparison to many of the other games aviable here.

I'm excited for the next game!

Okay, while this is a good game, but this is not a game worth this much.

The story had me rolling my eyes continuously. The thriller and mystery elements really weirded me out.

The scenery changes were bizarre. It didn't make sense why would the creator needed to make the characters go to japan and change all their costumes and scenery. It even got a map for that section. Then to the "resident evil" village with all the weird animal masks.

The sexual scenarios were interesting and the girls were cute and sexy, but other than that the game really put me off.

An excellent game with a funny and sexy set of characters. The humor flows, the models are super sexy, and scenes are reasonably steamy. The buildup is pretty good, which I think is sometimes not handled as well by other games. Highly recommend a playthrough.

Best game i ever played. Not only the scenes but also the script. The writing was so damn funny. I never have seen such a funny MC before in any other games. A must play for everyone here. And kudos to the Creator for creating such a master piece.

Engaging story. It's not just another short wank game that's over in an hour. Character dialogs are meaningful and painstakingly done.

and oh... the casual meme references XD

for some good laughs, pay special attention to what happens on screen, especially in the background.

This was one of the best games I have played in this site by a large margin. Just wow.

The humour was incredible and the characters were insanely fun. Stabby Mike is King!

No grinding, a nice amount of action and tension and great comedy.

I would like to congratulate Caribdis for this masterpiece and apologize for not being able to support his work with money. 10/10

This game absolutely deserves 5 stars.

The story is interesting and well thought out and the characters are very enjoyable.
The jokes are amazing and not overly done.
I absolutely played this porn game for the plot, i can't say that about many games i played.

About the porn, it's animations are very well made and the context/situations are fairly realistic considering this is a porn game.

Congrats to Caribdis for this amazing game.

how this game is so popular? Played for 30 minutes and it was extremely tedious and boring
Idiot tests from the very beginning which forces you to immediately download walkthrough, plastic and unrealistic character models as well as backgrounds, unskippable fights which again forces you to use walkthrough or to scroll back and actually savescam, endless stream of stupidest puzzles every 5 minutes (these puzzles block you from continuing to play and are not just some side quests with rewards) , do not recommend this overrated game to anyone

Okay. Let me start off by saying that I don't think I have ever written a review for anything before. I don't just mean on this website. I mean literally anything; products I've bought, movies I've watched, video games I've played, etc. What I'm trying to say is, I am by no means a professional reviewer. I've seen other people rate games on this site in a clear, systemic manner (listing things they liked and disliked about the game with bullet points, rating different aspects of the game separately, etc.). I'm not gonna do that. My review is gonna be a lot more..."spiritual", rather than "logistical", if that makes any sense.

That being said, holy shit. This is the greatest adult game I have ever played in my life. Just a few minutes ago, I beat my third playthrough of the game. And I literally only beat my first playthrough exactly 1 month ago (and it's not a short game by any means).

I guess the most important part of an adult visual novel are the girls. If the girls aren't attractive, what's the point in playing? Well, no need to worry about that for this game. The girls in this game are absolutely gorgeous, especially the main two. Not only that, but they have loveable personalities. They very quickly grow on you and you begin to genuinely care for them, and not just see them as a means to nut. The girls in this game are easily the most memorable you can find on this entire site, in my opinion.

Then there's the story. When you download a game on this site, you think you're downloading a sex game. When the game is tagged as a visual novel, you think, "Oh, okay. It's a sex game with a mediocre story sprinkled in. Still a sex game. I just wanna see some titties". That's exactly what I thought as I was downloading this game. And when I started, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the game didn't just immediately dump you into sex scenes like other VNs do. It actually takes a decent amount of time to get to the first sex scenes, and even longer to get to actual intercourse. But that time isn't spent just dicking around. It's building the story, which is the best one I've ever played on this site.

And of course, I cannot go without mentioning the humor. This game is fucking hilarious. There were moments in this game that had me gasping for air. This game has a perfect mix of seriousness and light-heartedness

I have played a lot of games on this site. Many of which I have loved. But I never felt compelled to write a review of any of them. If I didn't like a game, I'd just delete it and move on. If I liked or even loved a game, I'd just keep it to myself. But I love this game so much that I feel an obligation to give it a 5-star review.

Something else I have never done is sign up for a developer's Patreon. I always thought, "yeah, some of these games are pretty good, but I'd never spend real-world money on them. I'll let other people do that". Well earlier this month I signed up for the developer's $10 Patreon tier, and this is probably the only developer on this site I am going to do that for because this game is just that good. And seeing as how his next game, "Eternum", is supposed to be similar in style, but "bigger and better", you bet your ass I wanna put money towards supporting that.

So yeah, that's my review. Probably the only review I'll ever bother leaving on this site. I think that fact says more than the 5 stars ever could.

I loved playing this game.
The writing was terrific, the story was interesting, the characters had depth, the women were hot, and the animations were realistic (for being animated). Bravo to the creator all the way around. Please support the developer so they can continue to create excellent entertainment.

I am reviewing the full release 1.0. This is a must play! The impact of the characters and ups and downs of the story come together to form a fantastic game! The story does a great job of making you want to know the truth, with just enough humor and quirks to not be a constant suspense. The H scenes were overall great and felt pretty natural to the story, the writing was really good throughout the game and if there was a safe for work version released, I would play just for the story. I'm sad it's over, but I'm glad I experienced it.

Funniest game i've played for a long time!
Its already rare to see a game with a good,complete and engaging story, not to mention good scenes, but with the hilarious jokes its just perfect.
Definitely recommend to everyone!
Can't wait till the next game

Thx i loved every part of the game, was cute, sexy, misterious, i enjoyed everything of if

ngl on the first time i saw the renders and i was a little insecure if giving it a chance, also most of this harem games have a very common story with nothing interesting except for some hot renders and good scenes but you tried to make and interesting story, i am not gonna say is a master piece, but after all who expect wonderful stories here? but at least is interesting, is outside of the box and is interesting, even for me that i normally skip most of the dialogues on VN and go straight to "action", but the interactions with characters were cute and lovely.
