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

This is one of my favorite h-games. I don't know why I've waited so long before trying it. Support the creator on Patreon if you like it too!

Here are my ingredients for a great adult game:
1. Sexy well-done 3D renders (✅), bonus if they are animated (✅), cherry on top: possibility to change angle and speed (✅)
2. Good writing that makes sex scenes hotter. (✅)
3. No bug / no grinding / no wtf should I do next!? (✅)
4. A somewhat interesting plot that links the events together (✅)

This is a visual novel, so there's not much gameplay except for choices. But this is actually a big positive point for me. I hate having to play through shitty mini-games when I just want to have good fap.

To my shame, I must admit that at first I was reluctant to experience this absolutely brilliant adventure.... Sorry for that!
It's actually quite simple: sit back, don't think too much, don't worry about it and just enjoy the journey! You will definitely not regret it!
I spent my entire weekend with this game and was more than thrilled!

Sure, some other VN have much better, realistic graphics and animations.
But that didn't interest me for a millisecond!

The special humor (TOM and Mike in particular)
The also very special girls (I really mean ALL of them)
The creepy factor
The music
Simply everything more than makes up for every not so perfect detail!

Thanks for that !!!
(Will forever be in my personal top ten)

sometimes funny, attention to detail like another npc doing in the background is fun, text sometimes hard to read cause crowded background, the pregnancy isn't so exposed other than text and ending photo, too bad. and we can't find harem partners in their place not like so your only chance is to replay in gallery

Personnal opinion but sometimes, char dev seemed a bit rushed or idk how to put it, but wasn't as flawless as i expected.
And felt the relation ship with Carla needed a bit more polishing or depth.

That's why i don't put 5 stars, cause animation were REALLY great even if not a fan of some tongue management.

PLAY FOR STORY

Story and Dialogues are god tier without a doubt atleast for a porn game. But I think it lacks somewhat in terms of characterisation and sex scenes. Not enough scenes for a honey select game imo. It's like 2 or 3 real sex scenes for a character which is low gain for me as it being a Honeyselect game. Still it's completed and that's a huge pros for me. Thank you dev. Looking forward to your next game.

Really good and fun game . Not too short, maybe some 9 hours of play time. Has some really good plot and the chars are fun to play. Also the jokes in this game are the best part, so funny, and sometimes you just start lauthing without any text just camera and sound effects.
For me its not an 5/5 because of the girls jsut accepting too easy the cheating of the mc, there is no conflict when they found out.
Resuming its a fun and light game with no harsh feeling if you fuck things up.

Perfect game. Not like many game i played, this game is not just for masterbate, Hscens r good but the story is a masterpiece. After 5 mins, i had to replay and did not skip even 1 line in scrip. All the girl in this game have their own soul, not just some sexdoll. Love this game so much.

I just wrote a review like 1-2 times but this time I feel like this game deserves it, the game is one of the funniest I EVER PLAYED (maybe even N1) I laughed so much on all the parts that my lungs started to hurt.
The girls are nice (could have been more variety like Carla style with big breasts but that's ok)
The story starts normal and I was thinking "this will be a common game" but then it turned 180 and went in a (kinda) serious approach that I liked,
The animations are really great and I can't wait to see more of this dev, great work and it really deserves all the credit! (Stabby Mike is the GOAT)

So the story is fine, it has its very good moments (and its one of the few games that lands jokes without being cringey) but sometimes the story drops into just a buncha coincidences, which I mean, porn games are full of those, but I had my bar higher for this one.

The girls look good but I wish we had more variety. I gotta say, kudos for making the mom look unique, and I dunno why the teacher looks different from the rest, but she looks amazing. The others are alright, i like the sisters but can feel samey at times.

My biggest problem was how easy it was to miss the routes imo, ended up having to replay it with a guide because I ended up with only 2 routes by the end. I was clueless by the lack of sex but it seems I didnt tick the correct box once or twice so i was fucked and there was no way of getting back into route.

One of the best that I have played. Not just great, but a complete coherent story that draws you in and keeps you entertained. Just the right amount of drama while keeping you laughing so as to not overwhelm. Great scenes as well with many lovable girls too. And a satisfying ending. 10/10

One little jewel, im so happy to have played it. I normally no buy the games because they are generic and not too much things change but with this one is different; the game is really, really I mean Fantastic. First Review and I just get that I need a message of 200 word this game is worth to me to take the time to make this, Judie Best Girl haha. I also did something like leave a pregnant woman I feel bad for that haha. But is a excellent game with Great characters and mike omg what a nice guy hah I’m looking forward for their new games. I also knew about a harem end I have to look how to get that, but the end with Judie was great and I Love it. I was just expecting for something as click to fuck , and then after some pick get bored and then change to other game, but this game never bored me, and always puts me hard. There just a few games that I can get and played and make me excited and this one is one of them I really love the game, Thanks for sharing.

Didn't know what to expect from this game, but loved it from start to finish. The story was really enjoyable, The scenes were well animated, and overall this game had me excited every time I came back to continue the story.

One of the Best porn game i have played. A* writting A* cast A* scenes A* in everything basically. Choices the we make matters for once in these type of games. the cast have actual characters and not just some random lifeless fuck puppet for the MC. a must play for porn game connoisseur

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.
