It's so interesting that the world machine is the one telling us to let Niko leave. It perfectly encapsulates the world machine's (the entity's) anxiety.
This song has a different interpretation if you're a writer or trying to write your own story. "They're living, breathing, not a slave to a broken machine." can be interpreted as how one has to treat their characters as actual people and figure out what they'd do or say in reaction to things. "You only got the one shot." can be seen as the fact that you've got one shot to show everyone the world you've created. Hell, the whole song can be seen as the struggles a person who dreams to be a writer endures. As you can guess I've had this song on loop for a while as I try to figure out what to do. Plus this song just slaps
I'm a storyteller who has this mentality. I like to think of my worlds and characters as alive and have their own thoughts and feelings separate from me, like I'm more of a historian than the creator. One of my main stories is even Oneshot-esc in that the world canonically takes place inside my own head, and the characters end up having an existential crisis over this. I even at one point have the world reset after a travesty so that they can live on in their own world happily, continuing the story after everyone dies. The message my representation gives to my characters is that even though they are not real in my world, that does not make them any less real. They are still real in their own world.
in a way, that's what the game itself is about! Oneshot is a game about the sentimental value of fiction. Be it creating it or consuming it, often times we find ourselves treating characters and environments as more than just drawings or words (consciously or otherwise). In a way, it's about how we ascribe elements of life to these stories, ultimately making them greater than the sum of their parts.
@@Krozahl Thanks! I'm planning to make a comic out of it at some point, but I don't know how long it will be before I do it. I think I'm going to do other art stuff and at least one comic before that story.
I actually got OneShot due to this song, seeing how the comments universally praised the game as much as they did the song. After beating the Solstice run, this song just feels so much more powerful and emotionally charged than before. References to soundtrack names, characters, events both in and out of the game world, this hits so much harder now. My hat goes off to you
Same stuff here I’ve listened to this song for awhile and taught : Why shouldn’t I get the game ? So I did and after playing for 4 hours and going to sleep just to be woken up 3 hours later at 5am by my consciousness screaming at me that I have unfinished business and doing the rest of the game ( With Solstice ) I can confirm everything you just said in your comment about the song.
@@Gloomy-Guardian It's 15 bucks well spent trust me. I didn't even cried in front of Undertale, but that game, THAT GAME, oh boy I still want to cry because of it.

This genuinely is my new favorite song. Some lines like "Under all the fuss and all the rust, the world's a work of art" and "A heart that's beating can't belong to a broken machine" hit insanely hard.
Oneshot is my all time favorite game and it’s one of the few games that has genuinely made me cry, and the only one that gave me that deep of a connection with the character I’m playing as
This is the first song based on OneShot i've heard, and it's amazing. I really wish more people knew about this fantastic game. I hope this song helps more people discover OneShot,
Well, I’ve started playing it last week, and am enjoying it so far, I’m in a green place and apparently need to find a pen to write my name to leave it, you probably already know everything about the game but yeah, I don’t really know why I’m telling ya this lol

I'll be honest, the only thing I know about OneShot is some stuff I've heard about it, but after seeing this song I've become extremely interested. This is one of the few times I've been so interested in a game's story that I'm not just watching a person play it, I'm going to get this game.
Hey, commenter here. Back after playing the game, I will never regret this. If you're reading this, play the game, it was the best decision I've made in a while. Thanks Musiclide for convincing me to play.
@@icetide9411 So glad to hear you enjoyed it!! It truly is one of the best games out there, everything about it is phenomenal: the plot, the characters, the atmosphere, the soundtrack. I could go on for hours
GOOD. DO *NOT* WATCH *ANY* GAMEPLAY OF THIS, JUST PLAY IT, DOING THIS WILL HAUNT YOU FOREVER, THIS IS NOT A THREAT, THIS IS A PERSON SPEAKING FROM REGRET.
When I saw “one shot” I thought it meant it was a one-off original song and now I have an awesome looking new game downloading on my steam library. Thanks for that.
2:56 This point keeps almost making me cry. The added instrumentals just sound so beautiful and really encapsulate the overall feeling I get from the story of OneShot, like an epic story that feels like it has been going on forever finally ending and the characters reminiscing before they say their final goodbyes.. Both OneShot and this song are masterpieces and I'm glad I got to experience them, but it still makes me almost cry. I think that emotion is actually what makes it a masterpiece, making you care about characters and a world that don't actually exist.
I just stayed up until 3 am after getting and playing OneShot for about a week, then playing solstice. My heart is in shambles and now I'm playing this on repeat. I'd ask for help if I wasn't still reeling from it so hard I'll think about it for years to come. I agree with everyone else here, you may have heard of the game, listened to songs, seen art, but you'll never understand unless you play it. Just remember, you only have One Shot. Your time is precious. Cherish it. I know I did.
anyone who listens to this and is curious about it, it's a game called oneshot, markiplier has a gameplay of it but you'll have to find someone else to watch to get the true ending
I first found out about one shot by watching a French RUclipsr called Farod. The only reason I watched was because he promoted it like a ddlc and undertale spinoff.
you know that problem when you cannot talk about oneshot with anyone? i have invented a solution, the design is very human let my good friend demonstrate you just restrain your friend in this seat and play 10 hours of oneshot brainrot very easy to use

OH MY GOODNESS I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT A ONESHOT SONG. THANK YOU Also highly recommend for the 4th wall breaker lovers ;) Oneshot is a pretty cool game and my heart is still all over it
@@bitfits2423Pretty much, it basically just doesn't have one. Also, you may be interested to know that if the following conditions were met, oneshot would be a fairly realistic story. 1:AI capable of true sentience exists 2:It is possible for a person from the real world(although perhaps not ours, maybe another) to become trapped in the digital one. 3:The code for the simulation somehow got to us from the "old world". That's it. That is about all that would be needed for oneshot to be a completely believable story. There are very few fictional stories that are this close to being real, and I think this is what makes it so fun.
I’m extremely happy to see this game receive more love and attention from the fan base despite how underrated or unseen this game. I’m just glad nobody has forgotten this game and that it’s still receiving some attention and love from a bunch of fans. What I said probably was and I think sounded repetitive but im just trying to say im really happy that you made a song on this game and that people still remember it and love it for the experience you get from the first time playing. Thank you for making this wonderful song!
I really hope that the new console release will give OneShot the attention it deserves, it's such a hidden gem. I am so glad I stumbled across this masterpiece of a game (and song) Seriously if you haven't played OneShot, stop what you are doing and GO PLAY IT. It is worth it, the most unique and lasting experiences I think I'll ever have.
@@Ransa31there is a free version on rpgmaker (it’s also the original version before the Steam release, I hope you’ve already played it after 10 months lol)
As much as I love the idea of a console release, I personally believe that messes up the meta nature of the game. I have played both DDLC(another very meta game) and DDLC+(the console edition), and although they added a virtual desktop to simulate these meta experiences, it really didn't compare to the original. I would absolutely love it if console devs would add the ability to do stuff like that with console games, but right now they are not able to.
this is awesome! im glad more and more people realize oneshot exists, its incredibly underrated. to the people who are listening to this song and havent played the game yet, PLAY THE GAME ITS MORE THAN WORTH IT!
Niko did not fail to sieze this tired soul's heart of stone It nearly broke me to send her home People might say, "It's just a game." But none of us will ever be the same. -An Ode to Oneshot Thank you for the song!
Wow, this song is great, def going in my playlist. It reminds me of my times playing one shot, and feels completely like a heart-felt love letter to the game. I love it so much!
I like to think that this is a song that Niko and the “Broken Machine” make together (with Neko singing and the Machine adding the beat) for the player as a thank you! Very wholesome🥹!
I also like to think that Niko sings the verses while TWM (The World Machine) sings the chorus. While Niko sings about they adventure with us and their burden to bring the salvation to that world, TWM sings directly to us, trying it's best to make us save Niko. And as a fellow fan said in the comment section of this song, Niko's verse change, they're alive and experiencing a whole new universe. While TWM repeats the same lines over and over again, following it's "code", doing everything it can to make us save Niko. "They're living, breathing, not a slave to a broken machine." "A heart that's beating can't belong to a broken machine." But as an alternative theory, this song could have been done all by Niko. They never forgot that world and neither us, the player, so years later and with new technology of their world, they made a song as a way to let the memory of that adventure long ago still live on. Fun fact! This song is sung by an AI. Everything comes full circle huh?
I love that you can absolutely tell that this was made by somoene who actually played through the game instead of just being some superficial information about the game
Replying to this. Finally got a hold of Oneshot to play for myself. I knew it was going to end rough but I had forgotten the details. Jeez. Adore the game.
Beautiful. Absolutely marvelous! It's got this combination of slightly upbeat but also dour tones which OneShot revolves around so well. Please if anyone's not played this game I HIGHLY encourage you to do so and go in with as few spoilers as possible!
I love this song as much as I love the game, and as someone who's bought it on every console I own, played it through at least 7 times on each and 100% every variant that is a hell of a lot
I finished the game last week and I'm so glad that there are still people who care about the game all this time later after it's release. This song is such a bop.
Still listening regularly after 3 months. Also, this is an AI singing!?! It sounds so real! I get vocaloids are suppose to sound slightly robotic but I'd like hyper realistic vocaloids like this to be more common.
Yeah, that’s something to watch out for, it’s basically in place so you can’t change the hearted comment to something horrible and get me in trouble haha Glad you enjoyed the song!
@@Alex-gv2jc Spoiler Maybe, but I can see it as Niko and the world machine, or The World machine only, as you get to replay the game with The World Machine replacing Niko if you beat solstice
not even gonna lie here i found this song recently despite having played oneshot a while ago and it hits so hard i don't even care no one i've sent it to seems to get it but this is such a good song any time i offer it my full attention i end in tears. all this to say, another musiclide banger 👍
Ohhh my gosh I've been wishing for a fan song for this game, and I thought it would never happen, but here it is! I think you did an amazing job on the lyrics, the video, everything! Hopefully this video brings a bit more attention to this underrated game!
I love how well this fits OneShot. My favorite part about this is the use of a robotic voice for the computer singing parts! Nice to see OneShot content exists because I'm starving for more after beating Solstice
There’s a movie sorta like that, I think it’s called “Guy” and some NPC becomes half sentient and takes control of his game or something (can’t really explain the plot well)
I know this song came out 2 years ago and this may be a bit unorthodox for this kind of community, but I also like how this song really emphasizes the religious thematics of the game. As a religious guy myself, I like how (intentionally or not), some lyrics speak to much of the world's population's beliefs on "only having one shot" in their life and "transcending this corrupt world to a tower in the sky", in a way that doesn't compromise the themes present within Oneshot itself by further impacting on parts like the presence of a "Messiah" in a corrupted world. This song actually showed me a lot of symbolism of the game in a light I hadn't seen before; like how "squares" could be a euphemism for the corruption of the soul; an infestation unintended for the world's moral "code". Might not be your intent at all, but I just thought it was really cool and thought-provoking. :)
Just found this today! I'm so happy this song exist! Oneshot is definitely one of those games or type of medias that deserve that treatment. Also, thank you for not spoiling the game for newcommers but also making it enjoyable for veterans like me who's been fan of the game for a long time. It became my favorite video game of all time when I discovered it from Markiplier playing it, followed by Merg's playtrough for Solstice. Hollow Knight joined it some years ago when I bought it on Switch because it was cheap but none of these two games could ever be dethroned. They're just both too equaly good for one to be above the other.
Thank You for this great Song!! i am currently listening to it on loop, 20 minutes have passed already This is something i will always listen to again I thought my Niko plush filled the niko-shaped hole in my heart, but you managed to open it again. also, spotify says July 16th, so i see this as another Birthday gift, thank you This is now a part of my daily playlist, that i always edit to what i want to listen to, this one will stay there forever
I dont know why, but when I listen to this song, the words and the way they say it combined with the beat makes this song feel deep for some reason, as if there is lore to the song, like a thrill
oneshot was the videogame experience of my life along with undertale and outer wilds. those games are simply amazing. probably never living them down. they all have well written stories.. i could go back and forth on how much i like all of them, but it'd be too long. hence why i rather say so cool. so cool. so cool. so cool.
I've been listening to this on spotify for weeks now and only just decided to check it out over here. I picked up and beat Oneshot thanks to this song, so thank you for introducing me to that gem. It's made some memories that I'll never forget.
If only I was recommended this video sooner. I have been playing this song on loops for god knows how long now. The connections to the story are perfect AND the lyrics dont spoil the story. I had chills the first time I watched the video and I'm still getting chills listening to it.
I JUST finished One shot Solstice and I can say with confidence that HOLY... SHIT. OH MY GOD. THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD HELLO???? IVE BEEN LISTENING TO THIS ONE REPEAT.
God I love this!!! When I played oneshot, my brother was watching me play it. We got hocked up from the story, we “might” have cried when Niko misses home crying, we also got scared every time we close the game so we make sure to save it at the Bed so they are safe then continue tomorrow. When niko made me decide which one I will choose if it was me….I picked the sun, to put the lightbulb. When niko was gone I cried. I refused that ending, it won’t let me restart the game, so (spoilers) I deleted the safe file, and the story restarted, but it changed. That’s when I achieved the perfect ending…..without reading the little note on The file telling me to delete the safe file…..i did it without knowing what might happened.
I can't believe I've missed a song about my most favorite game from my most favorite and underrated music creator! Oneshot is just the game that keeps a special place in my heart and the one I can thank for helping me establish my own universe and colorful characters. I can just sense the same amount of love towards the game from this song! The World Machine just gotta be my favorite antagonistic character with all the meta that this game is. Thank you for all your work of art! I've been a fan since the very beginning and I hope to see more from you! Your songs always make me feel happier and more motivated!
The World Machine is one of the only antagonists that caught me off-guard not once, but twice. I rarely get as angry as I did when I realized they were preventing me from talking to Niko at the end of a normal run, and the feeling I got near the end of Solstice when I connected the laws of robotics to TWM's motivations is indescribable. They tie with Niko as my favorite.
Ive listened to this quite a few times. Maybe im just emotional, but this makes me want to cry. it captures to bittersweet element of the game so well, and i just wanna give niko and TWM a hug. they both need it. I feel like im right with Niko listening to this song, it captures the vibes so well. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK HGABINKLSESF
Just stumbled through this. AND DAMN THIS WAS GOOD. I got most of the songs meaning which made me enjoy it more. And tbh, a song this nice for the game that is OneShot puts a smile on my face. This was a very good song, hope you, the one reading this, do well, have a nice day!
This is as underrated as the game itself (I mean 600k views BUT IT DESERVES MORE) “This might be forgotten in the newer generation or due to time passing by” -random guy
OneShot - это одна из тех немногих игр, которая сумела поменять мой взгляд на мир. Благодаря Нико и истории этого мира я даже поверил в одну прекрасную светлую мысль, хотя верить во что-либо без доказательств мне и несвойственно. Песня прекрасна, Нико жив! Спасибо :s
I came to love this song before I realized ONESHOT was a game and not just a song description, but after understanding the amazing game, this song got even better. Bravo!
I LOVE ONE SHOT MORE THAN ANYTHING AND I HONESTLY WAS NOT EXPECTING SOMEONE TO MAKE A SONG ABOUT IT BECAUSE I NEVER MET SOMEONE WHOS A FAN OF IT, BUT IM HAPPY IT HAPPENED THE SONG SOUNDS AMAZING

Hey, commenter here. Back after playing the game, I will never regret this. If you're reading this, play the game, it was the best decision I've made in a while. Thanks Musiclide for convincing me to play.
@@icetide9411 So glad to hear you enjoyed it!! It truly is one of the best games out there, everything about it is phenomenal: the plot, the characters, the atmosphere, the soundtrack. I could go on for hours
GOOD. DO *NOT* WATCH *ANY* GAMEPLAY OF THIS, JUST PLAY IT, DOING THIS WILL HAUNT YOU FOREVER, THIS IS NOT A THREAT, THIS IS A PERSON SPEAKING FROM REGRET.
When I saw “one shot” I thought it meant it was a one-off original song and now I have an awesome looking new game downloading on my steam library. Thanks for that.
did ya finish the game yet?
How was the game?
2:56 This point keeps almost making me cry. The added instrumentals just sound so beautiful and really encapsulate the overall feeling I get from the story of OneShot, like an epic story that feels like it has been going on forever finally ending and the characters reminiscing before they say their final goodbyes.. Both OneShot and this song are masterpieces and I'm glad I got to experience them, but it still makes me almost cry. I think that emotion is actually what makes it a masterpiece, making you care about characters and a world that don't actually exist.
I just stayed up until 3 am after getting and playing OneShot for about a week, then playing solstice. My heart is in shambles and now I'm playing this on repeat. I'd ask for help if I wasn't still reeling from it so hard I'll think about it for years to come. I agree with everyone else here, you may have heard of the game, listened to songs, seen art, but you'll never understand unless you play it.
Just remember, you only have One Shot. Your time is precious. Cherish it. I know I did.
I wasn't expecting a one shot song st this time, nor ever but you surley coocked.
I miss Niko...
Neither was I.
Niko is living his best life out there.
We love him so much. Enough to let him go.
I like that this fandom is still alive and hope that in future we see more OneShot content
anyone who listens to this and is curious about it, it's a game called oneshot, markiplier has a gameplay of it but you'll have to find someone else to watch to get the true ending
I first found out about one shot by watching a French RUclipsr called Farod. The only reason I watched was because he promoted it like a ddlc and undertale spinoff.
@@somefoolishguy8072 although the original version of Oneshot was released earlier
@@walterfonk6287 it was around solstice I think it's called.
@@somefoolishguy8072 what do you mean by that?
@@walterfonk6287 I don't remember anything about one shot but wasn't solcite a dlc that released a few years later?
not a game i expected to get a fan song, but this is going on my spotify playlist.
This song proves that this game is still finding new members and getting more light after all these years and it warms my heart to see it.
MAN I LOVE THIS SONG. the problem is, Oneshot is so underrated and unknown i can't even share this with anyone
Bro I just discovered one shot and I'm watching markaplier play it. Literally becoming a fan rn
@@LovingArielleDude, that’s awesome. Make sure to watch Solstice after! :3
you know that problem when you cannot talk about oneshot with anyone?
i have invented a solution,
the design is very human
let my good friend demonstrate
you just restrain your friend in this seat and play 10 hours of oneshot brainrot
very easy to use
this game changed my life
(Also cured my depression while simultaneously causing it)
Hmm?
same thing
Relatable
Normal game: caused my depression (plant lady)
End of normal game: cured my depression (plant lady)
Solstice: caused my depression
Solstice credits: cured my depression
I only know this game like about 1 month ago and added to my favorite and make me sad Mann you must be known that
OH MY GOODNESS I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT A ONESHOT SONG.
THANK YOU
Also highly recommend for the 4th wall breaker lovers ;) Oneshot is a pretty cool game and my heart is still all over it
kris cross..
wait..
ah yeah love that game, deltarune, right?
cool I got a like
Oneshot doesn't just break the 4th wall, it straight up obliterates it.
@@birdboy1092 there was no 4th wall in the first place
@@bitfits2423Pretty much, it basically just doesn't have one. Also, you may be interested to know that if the following conditions were met, oneshot would be a fairly realistic story. 1:AI capable of true sentience exists 2:It is possible for a person from the real world(although perhaps not ours, maybe another) to become trapped in the digital one. 3:The code for the simulation somehow got to us from the "old world". That's it. That is about all that would be needed for oneshot to be a completely believable story. There are very few fictional stories that are this close to being real, and I think this is what makes it so fun.
I’m extremely happy to see this game receive more love and attention from the fan base despite how underrated or unseen this game. I’m just glad nobody has forgotten this game and that it’s still receiving some attention and love from a bunch of fans. What I said probably was and I think sounded repetitive but im just trying to say im really happy that you made a song on this game and that people still remember it and love it for the experience you get from the first time playing. Thank you for making this wonderful song!
Holy...
I played the game when it was out on steam on the first day an it still brings me to tears today.
I really hope that the new console release will give OneShot the attention it deserves, it's such a hidden gem. I am so glad I stumbled across this masterpiece of a game (and song)
Seriously if you haven't played OneShot, stop what you are doing and GO PLAY IT. It is worth it, the most unique and lasting experiences I think I'll ever have.
When the switch version comes out I'll play it (for the first time)
I’ll play it if it’s free
@@Ransa31there is a free version on rpgmaker (it’s also the original version before the Steam release, I hope you’ve already played it after 10 months lol)
As much as I love the idea of a console release, I personally believe that messes up the meta nature of the game. I have played both DDLC(another very meta game) and DDLC+(the console edition), and although they added a virtual desktop to simulate these meta experiences, it really didn't compare to the original. I would absolutely love it if console devs would add the ability to do stuff like that with console games, but right now they are not able to.
@@kenbaird7454 you could possibly do it with SteamDeck which is like a portable computer more than anything
I love how the song transitions through different parts of the game. That’s really cool
this is awesome!
im glad more and more people realize oneshot exists, its incredibly underrated.
to the people who are listening to this song and havent played the game yet, PLAY THE GAME ITS MORE THAN WORTH IT!
Even tho it's 2024 now this slaps
Deserves more views
Agreed!!
Niko did not fail to sieze this tired soul's heart of stone
It nearly broke me to send her home
People might say, "It's just a game."
But none of us will ever be the same.
-An Ode to Oneshot
Thank you for the song!
Every time i think of oneshots story i want to cry this game is a damn masterpiece.
This is definitely a diamond in the rough. Just kinda randomly found it because my RUclips home page won't refresh on my Switch.
Stand up for the national anthem guys
Stands up
YOU‘VE ONLY GOT THE ONE SHOT SO LET IT RIDE AND LET THEM LEAVE 🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥
THEY'RE LIVING, BREATHING, NOT A SLAVE TO A BROKEN MACHINE 🗣⁉️🔥
YOU ONLY GOT THE ONE SHOT, SO HOLD IT TIGHT, AND BEST BELIEVE 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
Wow, this song is great, def going in my playlist. It reminds me of my times playing one shot, and feels completely like a heart-felt love letter to the game. I love it so much!
agreed
I'm unable to express how happy it makes me to see fanmade content about OneShot. Even better is that it's a song!
I like to think that this is a song that Niko and the “Broken Machine” make together (with Neko singing and the Machine adding the beat) for the player as a thank you!
Very wholesome🥹!
*niko
@@Wyi-the-rogue thanks I fixed it
@@jackham5967 yeah, also in the parenthesis
I also like to think that Niko sings the verses while TWM (The World Machine) sings the chorus.
While Niko sings about they adventure with us and their burden to bring the salvation to that world, TWM sings directly to us, trying it's best to make us save Niko.
And as a fellow fan said in the comment section of this song, Niko's verse change, they're alive and experiencing a whole new universe. While TWM repeats the same lines over and over again, following it's "code", doing everything it can to make us save Niko.
"They're living, breathing, not a slave to a broken machine."
"A heart that's beating can't belong to a broken machine."
But as an alternative theory, this song could have been done all by Niko. They never forgot that world and neither us, the player, so years later and with new technology of their world, they made a song as a way to let the memory of that adventure long ago still live on.
Fun fact! This song is sung by an AI. Everything comes full circle huh?
"You only got the one shot, so let it ride and let them leave.
They’re living, breathing, not a slave to a broken machine"
this gave me goosepumps
I love that you can absolutely tell that this was made by somoene who actually played through the game instead of just being some superficial information about the game
Just started playing this game, very beautiful song, great job!
:o Hi xXtha!
wow
Oneshot is my ALL TIME FAVORITE GAME and i am so hyped that musiclide did a song on it. now i cant stop listening to it.
I can't stop repeating this, it's one of those songs that shows up every now and again and you just listen and vibe. Thank you.
Replying to this. Finally got a hold of Oneshot to play for myself. I knew it was going to end rough but I had forgotten the details. Jeez. Adore the game.
I like how, a hidden gem like Oneshot, is getting more attention nowadays than before.
Beautiful. Absolutely marvelous! It's got this combination of slightly upbeat but also dour tones which OneShot revolves around so well.
Please if anyone's not played this game I HIGHLY encourage you to do so and go in with as few spoilers as possible!
I love this song as much as I love the game, and as someone who's bought it on every console I own, played it through at least 7 times on each and 100% every variant that is a hell of a lot
I listen to it over and over again. I can't stop. It's never happened before.
can't wait to only hear this song once and keep the memory of it forever in my heart full of happiness and melancholy as i try to show everyone i know
THE WAY MY MOUTH DROPPED OPEN WHEN I SAW THIS WAS MADE JUST A YEAR AGO-
I FELT THE EXACT SAME WAY
I finished the game last week and I'm so glad that there are still people who care about the game all this time later after it's release. This song is such a bop.
yes it was so good! I played it a few months ago it’s my fav game now!
I'm so happy oneshot is getting the attention it deserves
Still listening regularly after 3 months. Also, this is an AI singing!?! It sounds so real! I get vocaloids are suppose to sound slightly robotic but I'd like hyper realistic vocaloids like this to be more common.
Wait wut? I thought it was a person
Wait it was a robot not a real person?
No way that’s an AI
@@TheMiningCrafterif you check the description yeah its a synth
OneShot is one of my favourite games.
And this song is a damn good one.
Amazing work ! Extra points for Niko's gender-ambiguous voice
Edit : huh TIL editing a comment removes the YTber heart
Yeah, that’s something to watch out for, it’s basically in place so you can’t change the hearted comment to something horrible and get me in trouble haha
Glad you enjoyed the song!
*spoiler*
I thought the voice was to represent the world machine, seeing as its goal is to get Niko to leave
@@aceofdiamonds2218 spoiler
think it's meant to be niko during the verses and twm during the chorus
@@Alex-gv2jc Spoiler
Maybe, but I can see it as Niko and the world machine, or The World machine only, as you get to replay the game with The World Machine replacing Niko if you beat solstice
@@Alex-gv2jc i found you!
Now that I've listened to this again after playing OneShot, it hit all sorts of different. Amazing work Musiclide!
not even gonna lie here i found this song recently despite having played oneshot a while ago and it hits so hard i don't even care no one i've sent it to seems to get it but this is such a good song any time i offer it my full attention i end in tears. all this to say, another musiclide banger 👍
Yo such a good vibe!
Ohhh my gosh I've been wishing for a fan song for this game, and I thought it would never happen, but here it is! I think you did an amazing job on the lyrics, the video, everything! Hopefully this video brings a bit more attention to this underrated game!
I love how well this fits OneShot. My favorite part about this is the use of a robotic voice for the computer singing parts! Nice to see OneShot content exists because I'm starving for more after beating Solstice
So happy that there a people who know this game. A under-rated AMAZING GAME THAT DESERVES MORE ATTENTION
The idea of living people in a game has so many potentials for movies and tv shows
There’s a movie sorta like that, I think it’s called “Guy” and some NPC becomes half sentient and takes control of his game or something (can’t really explain the plot well)
so there's this anime called "Sword Art Online"
/j
Why is this so freaking good
Thank god this is on spotify, I started checking out oneshot content 3 days ago and I already love it! This song is probably one of my favorite!
I know this song came out 2 years ago and this may be a bit unorthodox for this kind of community, but I also like how this song really emphasizes the religious thematics of the game. As a religious guy myself, I like how (intentionally or not), some lyrics speak to much of the world's population's beliefs on "only having one shot" in their life and "transcending this corrupt world to a tower in the sky", in a way that doesn't compromise the themes present within Oneshot itself by further impacting on parts like the presence of a "Messiah" in a corrupted world. This song actually showed me a lot of symbolism of the game in a light I hadn't seen before; like how "squares" could be a euphemism for the corruption of the soul; an infestation unintended for the world's moral "code".
Might not be your intent at all, but I just thought it was really cool and thought-provoking. :)
Just found this today!
I'm so happy this song exist!
Oneshot is definitely one of those games or type of medias that deserve that treatment. Also, thank you for not spoiling the game for newcommers but also making it enjoyable for veterans like me who's been fan of the game for a long time. It became my favorite video game of all time when I discovered it from Markiplier playing it, followed by Merg's playtrough for Solstice. Hollow Knight joined it some years ago when I bought it on Switch because it was cheap but none of these two games could ever be dethroned. They're just both too equaly good for one to be above the other.
Thank You for this great Song!!
i am currently listening to it on loop, 20 minutes have passed already
This is something i will always listen to again
I thought my Niko plush filled the niko-shaped hole in my heart, but you managed to open it again.
also, spotify says July 16th, so i see this as another Birthday gift, thank you
This is now a part of my daily playlist, that i always edit to what i want to listen to, this one will stay there forever
Update: by now (5 Days as of now) i have a play time of at least 4 Hours on this. It is just THAT Good.
I love it with all my heart
For me its like 2 or 3 hours a day
Oh, i've found your comment! And i totally agree!
this is why i think oneshot is one of the best games, period
I dont know why, but when I listen to this song, the words and the way they say it combined with the beat makes this song feel deep for some reason, as if there is lore to the song, like a thrill
I’m pretty sure there’s a word for this, “Frisson”
The "You only got the oneshot" to the "A heart that's beating can't belong to a broken machine" stuck in my head
oneshot was the videogame experience of my life along with undertale and outer wilds. those games are simply amazing. probably never living them down. they all have well written stories..
i could go back and forth on how much i like all of them, but it'd be too long. hence why i rather say
so cool.
so cool.
so cool.
so cool.
I've been listening to this on spotify for weeks now and only just decided to check it out over here. I picked up and beat Oneshot thanks to this song, so thank you for introducing me to that gem. It's made some memories that I'll never forget.
If only I was recommended this video sooner. I have been playing this song on loops for god knows how long now. The connections to the story are perfect AND the lyrics dont spoil the story. I had chills the first time I watched the video and I'm still getting chills listening to it.
even 2 years later, this song makes me FEEL THINGS
Bro this is aweosome banger. Oneshot is one of the best games i ever payed.(btw the true ending made me cry)
AHHHH A ONE SHOT SONG I LOVE THIS!!! I'm so glad the fandom is Alive
BROKEN MACHINE JUST BEATED 1M VIEWS!
CONGRATS!!!
This hit completely different after finishing the Solstice route.
I JUST finished One shot Solstice and I can say with confidence that HOLY... SHIT. OH MY GOD. THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD HELLO???? IVE BEEN LISTENING TO THIS ONE REPEAT.
God I love this!!! When I played oneshot, my brother was watching me play it. We got hocked up from the story, we “might” have cried when Niko misses home crying, we also got scared every time we close the game so we make sure to save it at the Bed so they are safe then continue tomorrow. When niko made me decide which one I will choose if it was me….I picked the sun, to put the lightbulb. When niko was gone I cried. I refused that ending, it won’t let me restart the game, so (spoilers) I deleted the safe file, and the story restarted, but it changed. That’s when I achieved the perfect ending…..without reading the little note on The file telling me to delete the safe file…..i did it without knowing what might happened.
I can't believe I've missed a song about my most favorite game from my most favorite and underrated music creator!
Oneshot is just the game that keeps a special place in my heart and the one I can thank for helping me establish my own universe and colorful characters. I can just sense the same amount of love towards the game from this song!
The World Machine just gotta be my favorite antagonistic character with all the meta that this game is.
Thank you for all your work of art! I've been a fan since the very beginning and I hope to see more from you! Your songs always make me feel happier and more motivated!
the world machine is antagonistic?
The World Machine is one of the only antagonists that caught me off-guard not once, but twice. I rarely get as angry as I did when I realized they were preventing me from talking to Niko at the end of a normal run, and the feeling I got near the end of Solstice when I connected the laws of robotics to TWM's motivations is indescribable.
They tie with Niko as my favorite.
CONGRATS ON 1 MILLION VIEWS!!!!! I love this too much and good job! It even got me to relive Oneshot and being a Oneshot fan
This sounds so delightful to listen that i just keep coming back to this chilly song
God damn this song hits hard after playing Oneshot for the first time recently, love the melodies and the lyrics, amazing job!
Ive listened to this quite a few times. Maybe im just emotional, but this makes me want to cry. it captures to bittersweet element of the game so well, and i just wanna give niko and TWM a hug. they both need it. I feel like im right with Niko listening to this song, it captures the vibes so well. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK HGABINKLSESF
This is also really sad to me because it seems like TWM is singing this, commenting on Nikos journey, and just calling themself broken. I feel bad :
Exactly the same thing happened to me, plus whenever I hear it I also feel a chill in my back
Just stumbled through this. AND DAMN THIS WAS GOOD. I got most of the songs meaning which made me enjoy it more. And tbh, a song this nice for the game that is OneShot puts a smile on my face.
This was a very good song, hope you, the one reading this, do well, have a nice day!
Your profile picture damn fit with the comment lol
This is as underrated as the game itself (I mean 600k views BUT IT DESERVES MORE)
“This might be forgotten in the newer generation or due to time passing by”
-random guy
OneShot - это одна из тех немногих игр, которая сумела поменять мой взгляд на мир. Благодаря Нико и истории этого мира я даже поверил в одну прекрасную светлую мысль, хотя верить во что-либо без доказательств мне и несвойственно. Песня прекрасна, Нико жив! Спасибо :s
Нико жива
@@Snhmisc Я тоже думаю что это ОНА
После прохождение игры когда я захожу в меню у меня на душе становится так приятно, я даже перепроходить не хочу. Ведь концовка идеальна.

Not broken.
Just not yet tamed.
I came to love this song before I realized ONESHOT was a game and not just a song description, but after understanding the amazing game, this song got even better. Bravo!
THIS IS ACTUALLY AMAZING
I LOVE ONE SHOT MORE THAN ANYTHING AND I HONESTLY WAS NOT EXPECTING SOMEONE TO MAKE A SONG ABOUT IT BECAUSE I NEVER MET SOMEONE WHOS A FAN OF IT, BUT IM HAPPY IT HAPPENED THE SONG SOUNDS AMAZING
I'm still watching it, it's a masterpiece!
I didn't think I needed this but I was proven otherwise
