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

I enjoy it so much, one of best games that i played. All of it, the hilarious scenes and the h scenes, the story engages you in an incredible way. Seriously, you did a great work, 10/10. I look forward to playing Eternum to continue enjoying your work and your fascinating stories

A little slow in parts and a little graphically dated, but loads of fun.

Once In A Lifetime is very rich with plot. The romantic arcs plentiful, charming, and enjoyable. The supernatural arc is engaging and may even take you to places that surprise you. The other interpersonal arcs are just hilarious. Even though the conclusion of some arcs lack conflict or require a very high suspension of disbelief, they're so fun that I couldn't help but enjoy them.

However, the storytelling that binds those arcs together eventually caused me to enable "Skip unseen text." There are too many areas where the protagonist descends into inner monologue that I found neither helpful nor engaging. There are many scenes that repeat a formula to build a character stereotype well after you've learned it--for example, when you enter a scene with the bratty character, you can safely assume (in all scenes but the last one) that you're going to be talked down to for the next 10 paragraphs and then fuck--just like the last 3 scenes you had together.

I found the art to be a little problematic as well. Whenever the main character's father or the fiance's teacher was on screen, I could never tell which one I was looking at because they both look like generic rat-men. Although the ladies got a little more attention in that department, there's still a 2D lack of definition in their nude forms and their faces that subtracts a bit from the game's eroticism.

However, for those two nits I mention, Once In A Lifetime has far more good going for it. If you're looking for a feel-good harem game with incest and pregnancy options, this game will more than likely sate you.

Wow, what a game! Typically, I engage with adult-themed games as a means of stress relief, but this particular game's storyline truly captivated my interest.

Not to downplay the quality of the sex—admittedly, it's quite good, especially when the narrative allows you to form genuine connections with the characters. However, what truly sets this game apart is its compelling storyline, diverse choices, and the consequential impact each decision has on the overall experience.

I'm genuinely impressed by the depth of the storytelling and the way the various choices influence the game. Many thanks to the developer for creating such an immersive and enjoyable experience.

Overall a very great VN, the story is very well written and thrilling, the choices are important and well worked out (your choice, your consequences), the characters are very cute girls and funny criminal Stabby Mike (best friend ever who always appear at the right time).

It's either 3 or 4... even 4.5

This game is utterly ridiculous in a great way. The MC is an insane weirdo right from the start. The same goes for the step-sisters. It's a household full of perverts. The storyline is written quite well, and some jokes tickle my bosoms quite a bit.

The thing that bothers me is the actions.

As I said, the MC is insane. He witnessed someone killed in front of him and didn't tremble at all. US Marines experience PTSD and this guy is alright?
Here's something worse, he manipulated his stepmother to have sex with him. He hijacked someone's email and sent emails on behalf of him to her. This guy is not right in the head! If that doctor saw the email and reported him to the rozzers, imagine. There might be more, but my mind is going blank right now.

Or...it was Eternum's MC playing the game with his VR. Which made all of his decisions reasonable. It's just a VR game.

I don't know about the sex scenes. I don't know whether people that came here for porn think. I'm giving it a very good rating.

Great adult game. I groaned so many times on how ridiculous the predicaments are. I even face-palmed, but it's very good!

God damn, this game is good! I love the story. The genre. Everything is just perfect! I can see how much effort and love was put in this game. I really would like to know how many hours were put into this game. I hope to see more games like this one in the future.

I just finished my second play-through. I played this almost a year ago for the first time. I usually don't leave reviews for any game, but this game kinda forced me to leave a review!

I enjoy most games developed using Honey Select. In addition to having great visuals and fluid animations, this game also features memorable characters, good pacing, intriguing story segments. It also requires you to be a total nerd if you don't want to use any walk-through! This game has solid 10+ hours of comedy, horror, drama, suspense and last but not least fappable moments aplenty. So play and enjoy!

I can add from experience, finishing it once didn't detract any enjoyment from the second time.

The girls are awesome, good scenes, but the plot is everything, not only my favorite porn game, but one of my favorites pieces of all time.
Truly, an once in a lifetime experience, i wish to forget, just to play it all again.

This game is really good I finished Eternum last week and this game today, both games are amazing i love the story telling and the humor it holds I would love to see more content created by Caribdis and hopufully a non porn game, I see the potential Caribdis has in his hands and I'm sure he will succeed creating any type of story, Caribdis you got a new fan, continue to work and I will continue to play your games or read your stories.

If F95Zone decided to make a Hall of Fame, no doubt this game will certainly have a place in there.

Just when you thought about playing this game for a good wank, then the game just bitch slapped your face with good characters and their chemistry, captivating story, diversity and impactful choices.

Trust me, once you have finished this game, it'll automatically set a "Once in a lifetime" standard into your brain.

one of the best games i ever played. I realy recomend this one. Um dos melhores jogos que ja joguei. Super bom, com animação e desing de personagens muito bons. (o novo jogo é ainda melhor). Recomendo.

Finally caught up with this on, and I am glad I did. Simply this is a great game.

The world is fun, the story is interesting and exciting, there is lots of humor throughout, and the LI's are great.

If you haven't played this game yet do yourself a favor and play it.

This was the best VN i played in the last... i dont know, 5 years? more even.

It has it all, the music, the work to make scenarios, change the clothes of the cast (yes, not allways the same dress to mark them as the same character, wild huh)

The writing is good, not just serviceable, good. It doesnt just tell a story, it has character behind each one of the members of the cast, you could "feel" their character.

The humor is usually on point, and with a mix of some innocuous pop culture, some dark jokes, and a lot of hilarious situations.

I reached the end of the game, to be greeted with a heartwarming sensation, and a sense of void but also acomplisement.

I never wrote a review of this kind before. but man. i feel the need to RECOMEND this to anyone that could read this.

Its memorable. try it, you wont regret it.

Came for the sex, stay for the plot. This time, for real.

Masterpiece game with:
- hot milf
- decent story
- hot cheeks
-with good ending i got heartwarming feelings from it
i was hoping to see more scenes with carla , however is still a pretty good game .

For a first title, OiaL is a tour de force. If you're playing it now for the first time and things seem unimpressive or derivative right at the beginning, stick with it - Caribdis leveled up their dev skills a TON while making this game, and it won't take long before those shaky early efforts are all but forgotten.

Definitely among the short list of must-play titles for anyone interested in AVNs.

Im gonna keep it as short as possible the least i can do is give this game 5 stars i don't remember the last time i laughed so hard at some of the comedy in this game i loved all the LI's in this game and it was nice to be able to go through all the girls romances in one playthrough without the game making me feel guilty about it and the main story of the game was fun and interesting didn't take itself too seriously which i loved i guess my only complaint is the ending didn't have any dialogue between the girls i went with the harem ending but it was nice ending just wish it had more dialogue for it.

Fine game, it was fun to play.
Not very original though, the MC is pretty "typical", the whole story served him a little bit too much in my opinion. The girls are cute, maybe a little more too thin for my usual taste.

I salute the effort to make an overall game with comedic relief, thriller/supernatual stuff.
Still I wasn't completely hooked to all those element.

I don't think i'm going to remember that game very long, especially comparing to Eternum than I start playing which I found already way more interesting by now.

Very good story, the characters and the interactions you get with them are the best part of the story. It has plenty of animations and content, just enough to leave you satisfied. The jokes not always land (not a fan of the fat/fit jack bit) but it's a pretty funny game.
Love the girls

Very dynamic game with a different, but interesting story, and a lot of options of partners, each one with their own personality. The art style is excelent! Only the ending was kind of disappointing... Would love to know similiar games

The best adult game that i've played in my opinion. The story is great and i really ended up liking the characters and relationships. I'm looking foward to the next project Eternum, and if it's anything like this game, i'm sure it's gonna be one of the greatest.
