Hey! Thank you all for just being here, it means a lot. If you are able, consider supporting me on Patreon or joining the Discord! ----- www.patreon.com/crycatena discord.gg/Cp4m85fcVT ----- It helps me get closer to my goal of making my own original animated series. Certain Patreon supporters get weekly updates as to the progress I'm making and higher tiers even have access to daily updates (that I've kept up since february) 👀 Also, I'd like to start hiring people to help me work on these so they come out faster. Right now it's just me and a few volunteers that I am eternally grateful for. Thank you for putting your eyes on my work. Stay tuned for episode 4 of Petrichor V...

[@Simon_Dunkaccino]

Y’know. Ever since I first finished Oneshot I never stopped missing Niko. Like an old friend. Even if they’re supposed to be fictional it feels more like they’re somewhere else in reality in some other time. Somewhere I’ll never get to see, because I was never meant to. I’ve done everything I was supposed to do with Niko and now we’ve parted ways between the universe. I’ll never see them again, and it’s supposed to be that way. We only had one shot with them. And it’s over. Happy 10th anniversary.

[@sweetphoenix5386]

Oneshot is always going to be a very special game to me, it's not exceptional, you can call it a walking sim and be pretty much right, but there's a joy in the simplicity of it all, and how despite it, it tells an exceptionally compelling story, I first played the game during some of the worst time of my life, where most of what I felt was just...nothing, I felt dead and numb to the world, but this game was a key factor in reminding me that I wasn't, even if life was bad, there was plenty to be joyful about, to be angry about, and to be heartbroken about, even if they're negative emotions, feeling those emotions is what fills life with wonder, how we react to things is everything, and I'll always be thankful Oneshot was able to remind of that when I most needed it

Ling's blank dice reminded me of George's personality being based off of which side of the dice is their face, but how we act being determined by the roll of the dice isn't quite as nice as being able to choose ourselves.

I've playd Oneshot quite a time ago, but the talk with this guy, and the time he gave Niko punckakes for free was one of the moments that are really memoreble, at least for me.

My memory is hell of sharp when it's about OneShot, because I'm SO addicted to this game I can't think of anything BUT OneShot, it's cute, emotional, pretty well coded, very interactive with the player, it's just, the best game of the year BUT for me, for the whole world.

[@roserave5632]

I’m a little late to the party, but this animation was so dang good! OneShot is one of the most underrated indie games I’ve ever played, and Niko is such an adorable and likable protagonist. And this animation perfectly captures the emotion that the original scene gave off, and then some. I’m hoping this game gets some form of official recognition for its 10th anniversary. It really deserves it. Happy 10th birthday, OneShot! And technically Niko as well.

[@seanbrownlee9474]

This is so well made, good job

[@Zachary-dr1mu]

OneShot was the first game I fully cried to. There’s nothing exceptional about the gameplay, the puzzles could be hit or miss, the true-random colour puzzle was a bit much especially, but I bought the game not expecting much, and just fell in love with it before I left the barrens. Between Niko’s predicament, accentuated by the fact you can ask Prophet Bot about going home at the start of the game, the exceptionally well written world building, with each area having its own full story to tell, and then spending it all with Niko, I began to get very attached to them. The more time that passed, the more I loved the experience, and once you get to the Tower and learn you can only save Niko OR the world, it’s heartbreaking. You want to save both, and you’ve been told the whole story that you CAN save both… and then you get told that you can’t. It’s like you have to choose between your best friend and an entire society, and depending on what you do, the first ending never feels complete. And then Solstice crushed me, completely. The situation became infinitely more dire, and at a certain point there is just no hope of saving anything, not even Niko. However, you pull through, and then you realise the real thing you’re saving is not the residents of the world, it’s not Niko… it’s the games world itself. When the World Machine starts to rebuild itself, learning that it’s tamed, learning the power it actually has, it’s heart warming… and then you’re placed back in the room you started in, meaning it’s time to say good bye. This time you don’t have to choose between your best friend and an entire society; the society has been help. But rather, you and your best friend must part ways, not because you dislike each other, but because you were never supposed to meet in the first place, and you’re from different universes. But it’s not like it’s sad either, because Niko was ripped from their world to save a world they were told by many was doomed before they arrived, and above all, they just want to go home. And the player always wants that for Niko too. And you spend the whole adventure wondering if Niko will get to go home and the world be saved, and when it finally is saved, you finally see that Niko gets to go home… that was what made me cry. It’s like you walk through the world, seeing what your good deeds did to save it, and then you turn your attention finally back to the person you’ve been with the entire time. You go from the grander scale to a smaller but equally as important part of saving that world. Watching Niko walk off screen, it truly was like saying goodbye to a friend, knowing you’ll never see them again. But you’re not upset because they finally get what you both were trying to do the whole time. Ramble message aside, I love OneShot so much, and I wish I could experience it blind again. A belated but happy 10th birthday to it, here’s to many more to come!
