discussion Complete VN Ren'Py [HS] Once in a Lifetime [v1.0] [Caribdis]

[JoJotheJoe]

one of the best game

For sure. It was one of the first AVNs I played and it set the bar too high...

I just started playing this game and it's hilarious. The "Big brother!" "My best friend" scene really had me laughing.
The fella lifelessly floating on the pool is such a vibe too

It's honestly one of the only VNs I can say legit made me laugh, and didn't just have jokes that made me roll my eyes.

Is Eternum really that good? I've seen a lot of praise being heaped on it, but for some reason I've never pulled the trigger on trying it.

Eternum is the finest VN masterpiece created so far, Caribdis games are so immersive, hard to explain, basically feeling really sad when you've reached the end of content. Maybe we can clone him and open up a VN factory.

Sad but true. Sad but true.

I actually find Once in a Lifetime better but I can appreciate your sentiment.

Very enjoyable, but wish it had continued for a couple more chapters.

My fav VN and the one of the best I have ever played.
By the way, what the guy doing?

 

[User_136321]

Unfortunately, Caribdis opted not to ever make the epilogues once he released the first part of Eternum.

A banger from Caribdis, it's definately not as polished as Eternum but has the advantage of being finished!

Stabby Mike as Deus Ex Machina just rules

 

[HarryMason]

this has been one of the better games i have played through, and its actually been finished, i think i might give eternum a go

 

[rocketsheep]

what is the best thing about this game?

The humor, and particularly Stabby Mike. I have played so many other visual novels since this one that it's a bit blurred in my mind now. What I remember is some extreme suspense early on when the MC walks around in a church where he has no business and a bunch of seriously secretive and apparently dangerous people are likely to catch him. And chaotic Stabby Mike appearing again and again in the most unlikely situations.
Eternum is a similar blur for me. It's a good thing because I can enjoy it again and again almost like the first time. But Eternum isn't quite as funny, and the suspense is never quite as extreme as in the early Once in a Lifetime.
I guess the reasons why a lot of people prefer Eternum are 1) Caribdis' graphics are now just as ingenious as before but with much improved rendering quality, and 2) the science fiction / fantasy setting that blurs reality and virtual reality appeals to a lot of people.

GENUINELY a 10/10 experience. Fucking love this game
