the game was overshadowed by undertale's lunacy, deltarune, and doki doki literature club. breaking the 4th wall was back then really unique! .. sadly all the titles i already mentioned were played by "influencers" and celebrities, so oneshot was ignored. i finished the game 6 times! 2 times on a different machine! i simply love it!
I think it's fairly obvious that this game has some The Little Prince inspirations, which I love, with the fox & aeroplane pilot characters and the whole idea of taming.
This game is ... something other than any type of media I ever experienced . This fells like plot of a great movie or series or visual novel but also have that type of immersion reserve only for characteristic rpgs . 4 wall breakes are masterpice and artstyle is so calming , despite the post apocalypse setting . It's really fairy tale mixed with hacking simulator ;) . Game has it's downsides and they are a few , but they never overshadow true beauty of this title .
If you do reset the game the entity makes a deal with you, so you can still play but niko gets to stay in their home, basically meaning that 'niko' in the 3rd and future play throughs looks like niko's reflection in the tower when the entity uses it to talk to them/you
"M-hm!" Yup, all you said is true here. Long comment. Forgive me. I gots things to say. I've just now finished this game, thanks to all the recommendations you've given for it. I really appreciated this experience! I didn't know about this Solstice route, though, so I should do that next. If I may return a consideration, I would direct you to the rpgmaker game, OFF. Given your interests, you almost certainly know of it, and might remember its popularity back in, like, 2012. There are comparisons to be drawn to OneShot, such as, "savior leads an ostensibly holy mission led by an unseen yet tangibly present force of fate as the player through both doomed and dying lands and the files on your computer to the ultimate objective of-" ...the rest is spoilers, but if you know what I mean, you may see the similarity. I have to think OneShot drew a degree of inspiration from OFF. As for what I thought of OneShot, allow me to dramatically tell my dear little buddy the dramatic thoughts that the first ending left me with: "Dear Niko, I hope you are doing well now that you are returned home. I have gained much from the time we spent together. Seeing the last of that world was beautiful as it was tragic, but I'm glad to remember it. Thank you for trusting me through it all. You did well. Any resentment you may feel over what happened can be distressing, but I will have you know that that world owes you nothing for bringing you into it. Yet, upon your arrival, you did not seek escape, but you tried to help where you could, and that journey has made all the difference. Our regrets remain, and though we couldn't save everyone, they will pass from you as dreams, as you passed through my life, and so live on in us. I wish you well. Sincerely yours, User1."
Thanks for the comment! Yeah I wouldn't mind checking out OFF. Seems like it would be an interesting game to talk about. I like your dramatic thoughts too lol
@@EDsCorner The Switch is Simulating a PC's Desktop, i think it looks really great. I am going to play it once it is released (speculated release date is August 2/3, from the Timer in the trailer) (Extra info about that: Before the Solstice Update was out, that timer had the Exact timing until the day when the Update would release. The Switch version Trailer has its own timer there, that like i said is until August 2/3) Also, How to replay OneShot (like if you want to record a LetsPlay or let a family member play) you have to rename or delete the "Oneshot" folder in C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming
[Spoiler] Personal, I think that one of the time this game hits the hardest for me is when Niko call you out for bringing them back in the solstice route. Like, I knows they later apologies for it later on, but to me, it the main reason I will never see Niko again. Because to bring them back would be ignoring all of their feeling and desire and that is something truly too much. Niko deserve better than to be a toy for us, and so that why I'm happy they got back to their home.
Well… according to the “entity,” it wasn’t MEANT to be there (obviously, it’s coded in but, for story sake, it isn’t supposed to be there). Just stating
@@DuoVersal Originally, the solstice was a free update. You will see the timer not knowing what it means, only after it reaches zero the free update it's up and you can replay the game.
A cool thing about the game is that in the Refuge, the head librarian(George) has six personalities wich are determined by the face of the dice that is shown as her face, and there even is a book on her room talking about the multiverse theory.
it's very cute and I love it because it recontextualizes the feeling of a world being hollow on a second playthrough as literally being the world machine's memory of the game -Ash
Nico's arms holding the bulb look so comically thin on the overworld sprite, which is weird because on the detailed illustrations they're pretty well defined with large long sleeves. For most of the game I thought Nico was wearing the bulb like a necklace or had it tied to an over-the-shoulder belt or something. It's also weird how Nico puts away all the found items into an invisible inventory but not the bulb itself. It may be a large bulb but there were even bigger items that the inventory could hold without showing up on the sprite.
The end of the Solstice route made the World Machine my second favorite character behind Niko. It's always interesting seeing a robot/AI go insane over being forced to violate the three laws, but not turn into a megalomaniac in the process. Also I wish there was something like act 3 in DDLC where you can just hang out with the World Machine. I guess that's what everything post-Solstice is.
Hey, question! I'm a person that gets scared very easily and have dealt with people hacking into my games (that was about 2-4 years ago and tremendously scary) and I would not like to deal with exiting my game and, you know, having to literally re-arrange game files to do stuff, but I would like to connect with Niko, as she's a really cute character and the entire game's idea is helping me with my slight depression. I just wanted to know what you think, as you've played the game before.
I'm not a computer wiz at all, but I didn't really have much of trouble doing what the game asked and I don't think it's really a scary game. The atmosphere is often more comforting. I'd recommend having a guide on stand by for the 4th wall stuff if that's a bit too intimidating but OneShot is still a very nice game that can make a player feel good.
Really recommend playing this game on a console rather than a computer in your situation/ anyone else similar! The user interface for my Switch, compared to the Windows-ish “World Machine” computer display where I had to manipulate game files etc were so different I never felt like I’d been hacked. It functioned more as a framing device, like when old movies pull out to show a big book that says The End. I was even able to press the home button and do things like check screenshots of previous conversations when puzzle solving.
The OneShot doujin adds even more of the RAM jokes/puns similar to the ones the ram herdier makes in the game. There's a "Static RAM" represented by a ram frozen inside a block of ice and a "DDR RAM" where a ram is dancing on a Dance Dance Revolution pad.
i played this game months ago and the first time we met prophetbot, it said i am the god of their world called "Goddammit" which i thought was a joke the game made and found it pretty funny but still changed the name to something else. only now have i realized that the game takes this word from your pc name and completely forgot it starts with the word goddamit 😭
12:02 you simply cannot tell me you didnt cry or at least shed a few tears at that point If you say you didnt you are either lying or didnt read a lot of dialogue(shame on you)
Yeah, tis game is super underrtaed, if only there was a way to show this game to more people, perhaps the console port will encourage more people to play
5:18 mane dont try to hide the mario kart 64 on yo desktop. Also nice video, first time i played oneshot [Spoiler] I decided to actually save niko for the world and at first felt bad but then i got the solstice ending which actually made me feel good knowing i had made the right choice the first time.
I 100% I had a vision of a game that is now my goal I now have used Google translate with finnish because I like the final and wrote a Google doc eith the villain and everything
this game is so underrated and so beautiful, i love the story... i love the characters... I LOVE NIKO!! GAHHH I WANNA GIVE 'EM A BIG HUG!!!
Niko's the best
Do it. I haven’t stopped since this morning, you won’t regret it. I’m typing this with one hand because the other one is wrapped around him.
the game was overshadowed by undertale's lunacy, deltarune, and doki doki literature club.

This game changed my wallpaper and it won’t go back because it was in slideshow mode and now I can’t find the file for the old wallpaper 😭😭
Same

And maybe possibly the lamplighter, but that could be a stretch.

“This game is not very long”
Me meanwhile: *trying to not leave a full one shot playtough*
very well spoken, i had my own trip back down memory lane while watching this video, great work
Thank you! Really wanted to do this game justice. I enjoy it a lot.

Man OneShot was awesome. Also I love how you used On Little Cat Feet, my favorite song from the game, in the intro
Very underrated channel
Super high quality video, keep up the good work man
Thank you!!!
I remember you being able to play Oneshot after solstice but Niko is play acted by the world machine

yeah my name is eric too and when i saw niko refer to 'eric' in whatever footage you used i almost shit myself
17:06 I'm pretty sure that clock was counting down to the Solstice release
"which is also why this game will never get a console port" this didnt age well lmao
This is like the second time this has happened lol
im gonna do a niko cosplay on roblox lol

Well the game is on switch now.
I loved it on the switch
neat

"Never have a console port"
I just finished the console port 100%
Amazing vid for an amazing game, good job!
“The game won’t get a console port”
:)
Fun fact at 3:30 he says Niko picks up a giant lightbulb.
This isn't true.
The lightbulb is a normal sized one.
Niko is a couple inches tall.
Nightmargin said that as a joke i'm pretty sure
my bad i was high when i typed that@@somerandomcube
I cried 2 times after playing this game
11:36 doesn’t lead to big laugh out loud moments? I’m sorry but that Baa read-only joke made me laugh for 5 minutes
Y'know what fair
After someone explained rams to me I was on the floor laughing for 10 minutes in that room lol

Also in the original game if you closed the game Nico will DIE they where not fucking around with the title
Oh yeah I saw that and WOW! I don't need killing Niko on my conscience lol
Who's... Nico?
I only know Niko...
@@jackys_handle i made grammatical error im going to lose subscriber
the 'never get a console release' part aged badly xD

If you say you didnt you are either lying or didnt read a lot of dialogue(shame on you)

Yeah, tis game is super underrtaed, if only there was a way to show this game to more people, perhaps the console port will encourage more people to play
it doesnt help that a movie shows up when you write down 'one shot'
@@sameeahmad6592 thats why you shouldnt put a space in between, or you write "OneShot" with capital S, then you are more likely to see the game
The game got a console port
5:18 mane dont try to hide the mario kart 64 on yo desktop. Also nice video, first time i played oneshot [Spoiler]
I decided to actually save niko for the world and at first felt bad but then i got the solstice ending which actually made me feel good knowing i had made the right choice the first time.
Good video
Thank you!
"Never get a console port" jokes on you, there's actually a console port now :)
I 100%
I had a vision of a game that is now my goal
I now have used Google translate with finnish because I like the final and wrote a Google doc eith the villain and everything
10 hour playtime on my oneshot and its not afk time all pure game time not very short
I played it after the solstice update and made the mistake of solstacing on my second go instead of playing it more times in non solstace mode
> this game will never get a console port
well i have something to tell you
It just got a nintendo switch port
What's is the game from 0:13 ?
Escaped Chasm
:D
And it got a console port
Probably this game will never get a console port- (4 months later)
At least this is something I'm happy to be wrong about XD
Odd how the game did get a console port.
Sometime later It got tô Nintendo swith kkkkkkkkkk
