OneShot Tricks you into Caring
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2022
- OneShot has a song in it called... Alula... and in the tradition of RPG maker games I've been playing recently... it perfectly encapsulates your quest through this world, it has a faint warmth to it but like a lightbulb... you can tell it's entirely mechanical.
I had my doubts about whether I'd like OneShot as I continued to play... some parts were pretty slow, and there were a handful of puzzles that had me stumped longer than I would've liked but after I came face to face with it's somber conclusion and I felt the level to which it shifted my heart, I realized why everyone looked at this little game so fondly.

Thanks so much for watching :)) like and Sub. It helps a ton
Cats > goats. My brain processing why undertale is below one-shot
Oneshot was what I played to cope after Omori, but then I ended up having to cope over both.
That's why I waited so long after OMORI to play it LOL. Either way tysm for watching and feel free to join the server too :)) discord.gg/HBTyPM8
Unfortunate
@@lisak_foxx speaking as a fan, yes it is a really good game. It’s long but I’d recommend it.
I saw the solstice ending and now I can’t go back to the game cause it rips a hole in my chest talking to Niko knowing the ending and all. I will hold out on specifying the ending as much as possible for no spoilers but anyone that saw the ending knows what I’m talking about.
BRO, SAME
(omori fandom has sick memes to cope the trauma after finishing the game lol)
The world is a depressing, unjust place. All of us will soon perish alone.
**sees pancake cat**
omg niko oneshot 🥺🥺🥺
niko oneshot?!?!?! really??!?!?!?!!!
omgogmgomgomggomogmogmg niko oneshot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, so many Omori fans
omg niko oneshot 🥺🥺🥺
**sees kel**
omg kle from mori 🥺🥺🥺🥺
omg niko oneshot 🥺🥺🥺
I don't feel tricked.
What I felt was a melancholy, deep within me.
Niko, as a person, will never leave my mind.
I love this experience.
But sadly they’ll probably forget us. Just as one would a dream…
Bullets in Half-Life.
Now.
@@TequalHC This was the last thing I was expecting to have replied to me here, but I can definitely do that.
Just give it some time, as I'm having breakfast at the moment of typing this.
@@TequalHC you snooze you loose
@@daltonsharp6254 They do promise to never forget you in the other ending (avoiding spoilers in case you haven't played it yet)
I play VRChat a lot and believe me, when I see a Niko avatar, part of me feels like I'm seeing an old friend after a long time.
I love this little cat so much.
That's adorable lmao.
that's awesome (OneShot really does have it's ways)
I remember first hearing of OneShot through a youtube ad. I gotta say “On Little Cat Feet” is quite the piece. I was intrigued. It would take a while for me to actually play it, but I did. This game is what pushed me to make a steam account.
The game itself? It really feels like a journey. Not necessarily in the grandiose sense, but because you’re doing it with a friend. Very well put on how there’s no replacement for just… spending time with a character.
And of course, great soundtrack. It excellently conveys the different ideas of this story. It’s bittersweet at times. Even with the comforting tracks, there’s a sense that solace is a temporary thing and what’s out there will eventually take it away. Until then, all we can do is enjoy it.
Other than the aforementioned “On Little Cat Feet”, I also really appreciate “My Burden is Light”. As the first, and perhaps even last piece you’ll hear, it’s powerful, man.
absolutely agree with you, there have been a lot of games that i have loved on a deep level but nothing ever came close to the feeling of playing one shot. i especially like the soundtrack, theres a distinct feel to it yknow, like its something youd hear in a dream and then be sad its not real.
Really incredibly well-crafted video, and I can agree that this game is really heart-wrenching, and the ending has two of the most unforgettable options that have been stained in the back of my head. If you want another RPG Maker game, I'd heavily suggest OFF, where you control a mysterious entity called the Batter, and your goal is to help him purify the world. This game, to an extent, was inspired off of it (in the sense that you are a higher being controlling him). Regardless, you should try it out, since the music, ambience, characters, lore, it's all something to just behold.
can i suggest 1bitheart? Its really good. generally made me cry
Technically, Oneshot was actually conceived around the same time as a fan game for Off.
_In fact,the memorial for the death of the lead dev of said fangame shows up in the intro of Oneshot_
@@RetroNitro_TV WAIT REALLY? HOLY SHIT THAT'S SO COOL
and i mean i guess that makes sense, both have cat leads :)
I love that this game is getting more attention even so long after it’s “final” update
I have loved this game for so long and it’s so nice to see someone new talking about it again.
Niko really is someone you can easily fall in love with, and the world itself tells a story so sad and yet so hopeful in it’s final moments that it truly feels like you’re there with Niko throughout the entire thing.
And that’s part of what makes it special and memorable: you get used to Niko being there, and when the game rips him away it hurts.
I call Oneshot an Experience, not a game. It’s something that you have to go through, not ‘play’.
I always will remember Niko. I will always will remember Oneshot. Thank you, creators, thank you so much for creating this masterpiece that I will always cherish.
I always found it really interesting playing as Niko's guardian and caretaker, instead of just playing as Niko. It's really interesting. Your purpose, quite literally stated by the computer, is to protect them. There's so much more I love about this game, but I don't want to ramble. This was a really nice analysis. Would love to see an analysis of the Solstice route :D
Couple of days late to this but you're so kind, thanks a ton for watching :) You're welcome to join my discord if you'd like to discuss the game! I'll also let you know when the solstice route video is done! discord.gg/HBTyPM8
I 100% agree with you on the track “Alula”. A lot of the music in the game is really special to me and is perfect for the world that you traverse through with Niko. Fantastic video overall, this is pretty much exactly how I’ve felt about the game ever since I played it.
I really liked the story of Oneshot. Two very destinct endings, either you give light and hope to the world or let Niko, the character you spent the journey with, live. It's a very simple but effective moral dilemma, simply because not everyone can win and it is always hard to say if ending a life is worth it for the happiness of everyone else, especially if you care about the person.
And then the game did something weird. Not going to put spoilers of what, but...
Imo the return home ending is the right choice. Because if Niko stays then his family will have to cope with his absence too. I think it's just a tad more important than the tamed AI.
Absolutely thrilled that oneshot content is still being made like 6 years later, love this game so much and im so glad you got to play it. :)
Oneshot is a game where you don’t say “Hey I’m riding in a boat!” It’s where you say “Hey! Niko is riding in a boat!”
Woo!! Another person talking about oneshot! Love this game!! The premise is honestly genius. And me and niko are best friends forever.
This game will always hold a special place in my heart. The very fact this game made me, an outsider, interact with a child you get to learn about, really warmed me up. After getting to know them, I realized how much responsibility was forced into this kid. But he doesn’t fold, and he keeps on moving. The music fits the game perfectly. It’s a somber, lower toned theme that depicts the end of the world, but at some parts, there’s that hint of hope. The people of this world really reflect it. Even though the world may end, they stay standing with a smile, holding onto that hope. This entire game was a learning experience all on its own, and I definitely recommend it. It’s only $10 on Steam, and will also be coming to consoles soon.
I've played OneShot just because someone on Reddit said it was similar to Outer Wilds. I did not know ANYTHING about the game, and went all-in, blind into it.
My favorite game was Outer Wilds, now it's OneShot (although they're more so sharing the first place).
Being an indie game dev, I now hella want to learn to write stories as good as OneShot, because this is a fucking masterpiece, and I'd like to create something as good.
niko is real and you cant convince me otherwise
niko will be real on 28 september 2039
you’ve said all the things that i felt but couldn’t describe.
thank you
Comments like this make the hours editing worth it
I played Oneshot a long time ago, LONG time ago, it was in the era of my "no story just win" mentallity to enjoy games, this game made me enjoy the story and character.
And boy it was worth it. U loved the game, the soundtrack, and i was unaware of solstice untill i stumbled onto it in a Playtrough.
And boy i enjoyed it.
One of the only games that managed to draw a tear for me.
I finished the game in 2017 and I still refuse to change my Niko wallpaper to anything else.
This game literally broke me when I first played through it two months ago, I'm still trying to get over it. No game has managed to make me miss a character this much, Which is why it's definitely my favourite game of all time.
For sure. Also I love Sky. Feel free to hmu on discord if you wanna play :))
@@bossdoor hey hi, sorry I never responded, aside from being insanely busy, RUclips decided to not give me a notification when you replied. I'd love to add you, if you want, of course
"it has a faint warmth to it like a lightbulb,but you can tell it's entirely mechanical" sums it up almost perfectly
Omg ty, I’ve been getting into oneshot recently so it’s awesome to see people still posting about the game!!!!
I'm glad to see that even such small channels are trying to promote the Oneshot fandom in different countries. I will continue to try to revive the fandom, I hope you do too 😄
at the end you missed your one shot to say "take one shot at the game, ill promise you itll be worth it."
that music makes me feel an emotion that I can't understand
I literally had just finished this game, solstice ending too. You have said everything perfectly. You're just there later on ang you're like "if anything happens to my boy Niko I will kill everyone in this roo and then myself" You later really get to care even for the npc's especially when they talk about SPOILERS AFTER THIS CAPS LOCK everything being fake and just a program, to the point of asking what the point of it is if it's all just literally a game on your computer.
This game is great. Absolutely great.
You don't know how to do spoiler warning don't you? Just do like 20 entry after the [ SPOILERS AFTER THIS CAPS LOCK] then write the spoiler so it's hidden far below. Like this :
Here. Hello.

I don't be really watching this video, because I myself has started playing one shot recently, and I think it's my first this type of RPG I have ever played. And I don't want to spoil it myself too
What did you think about it
me watching this like i wasn't delete a game after complete one ending making everyone there problaly died of horoble way possible:
I'm not really someone who plays these RPGMaker games but Oneshot has always stood out to me and has been one I've always wanted to play. Great video as always, dude!
The correct term would be "emotionally manipulates you"
OneShot is my favorite game of all time. All you need to prove this is the fact that I almost cried during this video just from missing Niko
niko one shot
This will be the video I send people to get them to play. You put everything so perfectly.
Comments like this make it all worth it
@@bossdoor I'm gonna start bingeing your vids now. Watched the omori one as well and I gotta say I'm impressed. Keep it up ❤
tysm :)) Feel free to join my server too! discord.gg/HBTyPM8
Im glad oneshot is also getting more attention. The game is very well made and deserves more attention.
I liked the game so much for giving me opportunity to talk with Niko.
the reason i postpone playing many of the games i like is because i am not ready for the huge breakdown i will have afterwards if i even slightly mess up
It's so nice to see you revisit one of my favorite rpgs!!! (That's a lie- all rpgs I play are my favorite) This video brings so much nostalgia and even buy the game again just to revisit it
weirdly enough youre regarded as this god a powerful being who guides niko but at the same time you feel so powerless
The title triggered my fight or flight response
Sorry! Didn't mean to scare you D: , regardless thanks for watching and feel free to join my server too if you want to know when my other OneShot videos come out and you wanna talk about the game! discord.gg/HBTyPM8
@@bossdoor ...why, thank you!
this is a very thoughtful video! oneshot is a really nice game, i'm glad to hear you liked it :]
Yeah this game is certainly a good gem and I'm happy to see more content, it was a good video.
I do recommend you play solstice, it took this game from decent imo just about worth my money and time but not much more to solidifying itself as my favourite game.
OneShot was an emotional journey. Every time I relaunch the game on my switch, just to be greeted by the solstice end screen, sadness.
i finished this game yesterday and honestly it was the only games to make me emotional and i will never forget it
im glad so many people still appreciate oneshot, such a great game 10/10 indeed
Thanks so much :) Feel free to join the server in the description and to sub for more oneshot videos in the future
Everytime i heard any ost from oneshot make my eyes full of tear.
I miss niko. I really do.
God damn the thumbnail really hits hard man. Does anybody else realize that?
I get a lot of comments about the thumbnail haha. I wanted it to be come across strongly, so I'm glad it resonated with you.
@@bossdoor In the thumbnail, Niko is actually crying so hard for you, there's snot starting to drip from his nose. It really does show that he really wants you to still be with him still, even if he has to sob every last tear.
I just about had a heart attack when I saw Niko waking out of the window...
Tricked?
My man, i care for Niko like my own children out of my own volition, i choose this path myself
It’s rare to see a video on Oneshot nowadays but I am incredibly happy to see content of this beautiful game again, I hope this video brings more people to experience the masterpiece that is Oneshot :D
Thanks :) I did a second video on it too that came out yesterday. Feel free to give it a watch
Played the original and although I wish I have the steam version for the solstice ending, but damn did I care for Niko even though I was thinking “stupid child” the entire time lmao
Awesome video, really explains how i felt after playing oneshot.
Thanks :) , there’s a Fan game sequel coming out too. Feel free to sub for when that one comes out!
His voice calms me and scares me at the exact same time.
Very deep. All I'm thinking about and more
OneShot is one of my favorite games of all time, because while the gameplay is admittedly not something I'm a huge fan of, the story kept me going. The second I saw Niko, and heard them speak, I knew I had to get them home. The fact that none of it is real, and that no matter how hard I wish I could know someone so just immediately fucking perfect who always makes the decision they feel is right, it'll never happen, nearly ruins me. I constantly replay this game, and cry every time without fail. Tomorrow at the time I'm writing this, the World Machine edition of the game will release on nintendo switch, and even though I've played this game a million times, I know I'll buy it and show the people behind the project that this game is a masterpiece, and that it doesn't need a couple of new character descriptions or music players to be bought twice.
i feel like i was really late to the oneshot party but nonetheless i'm still being introduced to amazing oneshot content
This is the fist vid I have seen from you I really like your analysis One shot really made me feel like a part of the story and a friend of Niko
I appreciate that! If you'd like you can join the server for my channel too! :D discord.gg/HBTyPM8
Wow! You described Oneshot so well! Definently earned a new sub
Tysm :) you’re also welcome to join the discord server in the description
@@bossdoor I will!
Oneshot is the only game that has made me cry.
Oneshot hits on a different level and I haven’t seen any game do what it does as well as oneshot, the closest one is ddlc but thats stretching it. Not to mention it makes you intimately connected to niko which makes it hit harder by the end
Banger vid and trust me solstice is well worth it. You'll care even more
Really appreciate the kind words
"Tricks you in the caring" bro I love Niko because I LOVE MY BOY NIKOSKS
OneShot is, without a doubt, my favorite game of all time. I hadn't even known of its existence until earlier this year, it's amazing how quickly it became my favorite. Niko is best cat
I'm glad I was able to give you a video to enjoy then :)) I know oneshot stuff on here is sparse so I'm happy to fill that void. You're also welcome to join my discord server if you want to talk about the game, I also plan on releasing more OneShot stuff in the future discord.gg/HBTyPM8
nooooo niko is not a cat
Oneshot is literally my favorite game of all time. To put that into context: *This game beat Portal 2, Half Life 2 AND Undertale to get my number 1 spot*
Man i love this video
You're so sweet. ty :)) Feel free to join my server too!!! discord.gg/HBTyPM8
And I have to say it did its job immaculately. Cried for the rest of the night after Solstice
how long has it been ? half a year since a video of this got more than 10k ? congratulations.
Thanks :) feel free to sub, I’ll have more oneshot videos before long
Also feel free to join my server for when future OneShot videos come out! discord.gg/HBTyPM8
funny song of eleventh hour plays
or tricks you to take care of niko cuz you start to feel bad for her and start to take care of her
this game is so old but u decided to make a video about it, nice
A game that feels like oneshot and is also very good is changed, every penny is worth it
this game legit made me cry first time playing solstice
I watched Pyrocynical play this and I really love Niko's character, the sweet innocence and the whole cat thing. Man i felt like I was going to cry seeing that thumbnail. Fuck you for that.
This game is genuinely one of my favourites. This game is amazing.
For those who are planning to check this game out, you should. Try your best to avoid any sort of spoiler as it quite literally makes it a better experience.
tysm for watching and for leaving a comment too :) If you'd like you can join the discord server for the channel also! Here's a link discord.gg/HBTyPM8
oneshot is the best game ive ever played (played it about a year ago). not only is the game fantastic and coming to console on the 22! but the community is also great. sadly its hard to replay because its never the same...
I feel ya there, there are times where I wish I could forget OMORIs story and play it again. Regardless: tysm for watching and feel free to join my server too! :)))))) discord.gg/HBTyPM8
best game ive played since i got my first computer 9 years ago, in its genre, no doubt
The thumbnail and title tricks you into watching the video. and it worked
Haha. Ty, I don’t think the thumb or title is dishonest but I did want It to be grabbing
i had an exestential crisis beacuse i played though one ending (it was a sad one) and i am going to replay it more this game literally is goati love niko he is so precious ill end this comment before i make a whole rant about him and the other charactars
prop to the game for tricking us as hard as jake paul buying pokemon cards
OneShot doesn't break the fourth wall... it never had one in the first place.
"Multiple puzzles that could pit Undertale to shame"
Undertale: *And I took that personally*
I spelt put wrong lol
It's weird because the game feels alive just got into it in 2023 if there's anyone out there who feels the same as if OneShot is alive let me know thanks!
Same bro
tf2 came out in 2007 and is still one of the most active multiplayer games on steam
What part of game took you longest
-what of arena?
-what stop you for that long?
-what run? (Ya there is unless 3)
-what was think that stoped you (you didn't saw something, coundn't solve puzzle)
In my case it was missing that doors to bathroom, trying to found out what to do with that book at "perfect ending", and thinking that code I used last time and don't work will work this time
broo I had this idea for like a few months, surprised people noticed! The niko plush is like sixty dollars and if that's a best seller, that says something
Oneshot is still one of the most underrated games ive ever seen.
Why is nobody talking about the thumbnail
This comment contains no spoilers. I really liked OneShot, though I got pretty frustrated a few times with the exploration, where there was often a room or other small path I had overlooked, which stopped me from progressing for maybe twenty minutes at a time or so. The other thing I'll say is that I sort of had a good guess where the story was going to end up with regard to the original ending, so when it came, I am afraid it just wasn't as impactful as it wanted to be, as I wanted it to be.
That said, I played the Solstice content, and that ending actually hit me much harder, so I am very glad that I kept going.
best game
i also play this game, thank you, i understand better
No cos I actually cried when I ended the game. It hurt so bad 😭
I was fortunate to go in blind recently. Normal ending did a number but solstice turned me into a river of tears.
Hello from the oneshot discord!
As I am Deadalus_ZW but I am too lazy to switch accounts
Do Solstice, please talk about it.
Spoilers below:
it made me go from hating the World Machine (the computer entity) to crying for him and honestly prefering him to Niko in some ways, I'd rather talk to WM than Niko if I could :(
Average Boss Door W
More swagger content
OneShot coming into the spotlight... idk how to feel. Seems bittersweet, reminded of undertale.
While i am confused over the clickbait thumbnail, It is an interesting video. I found the puzzles incredibly easy,Though Maybe i do agree the maps are slightly confusing. Oneshot is like you said one of the first games to break the 4th wall. Even before undertale seeing that an early version of the game was released in 2014
i can't get trough the robot that leads me to the tower. and when i watch playtroughs people have a tube but don't have the seed i have
