Oneshot - Nitro Rad

[@amaikurusu188]

[@bytetheproto1354]

Must be similar to how you can put a password to a rom

[@JustTryHard_Juth]

I think this is the case. When the game starts, the game secretly makes a save state. After the game is shut down, it then checks if theres a save state. If it's true, then the game is bricked. If it's false, then you get to play.

[@bytetheproto1354]

There are consequences to it though

[@fredrick119]

@@arch_dornan6066 what do you mean?

[@sandorrclegane2307]

How do you unlock the worst ending then?

[@Tielesiti]

short answer: you don't. the "Niko is dead" ending exists only within the original game, but iirc having both of the versions on your computer gives you an achievement on the Steam version

[@iamme8359]

Still make you feel horrible about doing it tho

[@Dracomut]

"One chance only" games may be one of the best and worst ideas for video games ever. From an artistic standpoint it is brilliant and for most people it will instill a sense of responsibility (as stated in the video). However I gotta say the cons outweigh the pros: what if there is a black out or your computer crashes? How do you show someone the game if they can't play it? Worst of all it eliminates an important quality all games need: replay value. The final nail is that in the end people are going to find a way around the "one chance" gameplay anyway so there seems even less point in making the game's draw be that.

[@CrazyRiverOtter]

***** I keep hearing people going off about replay value as if it's omni-important, but what's wrong with having an experience only once?

[@JayDee284]

***** because its stupid when comes things like games

[@FfancyCcrash]

+CrazyRiverOtter My thoughts exactly. I adore games I can beat in like an hour and never worry about again, and be happy with what little I had.

[@televiq_sub2]

thankfully, the full commercial release is going to have opportunities for multiple replays, but the creators said that there will be a certain mechanic that keeps the whole "oneshot" theme going.

[@vincentjonesvr]

The retail version does, which lets you play more than once. The original was free. And even so, there's nothing wrong with the ONE TIME play mechanic in a paid product if you know it's there ahead of time. Do you get upset when you buy a sandwich because you can't go back and eat that sandwich again later?

[@pizza-for-mountains]

I'd like to think this video accidentally lead me to love this game, when I first watched it three years ago. I watched this video and thought, "Wow, that's a cool concept." Then I forgot completely about it. Little did I know I would be waist-deep in the fandom three years later. Somehow, this video and its sequel got recommended to me a few months back. And so, I bought it. I don't cry a lot, maybe once or twice a _year._ Like, emotional crying. This game. It made me tear up a bit -- multiple times. And that's saying a *lot* coming from me.

There is actually an easy way to replay the game by deleting it's registry file using regedit. Open Regedit > Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Oneshot > Delete the "ending" file.

[@linkVIII]

Mirai you spoiled the game for me

[@pque1430]

I don't think that's considered a spoil xD

[@CrazyRiverOtter]

While this is a really interesting concept for a game, I just hope more games don't follow suit.

[@MapleSyruphox]

I hope so too. As interesting of a concept as it is, I truly dislike this kind of level of scarcity and limited whatevers when it comes to games.

If you want to play this game again, you have to reinstall it. It just worked for me.

[@dizzyrobo5351]

The puzzle involving the Documents folder was actually done in OFF as well, in the readme there was. Q&A section, with some questions, some jokes, and one question that gave the answer to that

[@CrafterDaemon]

It got a new ending where you can get both, called the Solstice Ending. It does involve finding a way back, though.

[@PolishPetronaPolskiPetrona]

The thing about the player being a god makes a whole lot of sense, as in basically every video game the player has direct control over the main character most of the time

Hey, I know I usually don't comment, but...whatever, here it goes. Hey, Nitro! I just wanted to say, thank you for your awesome videos! I love them all, every single one of them.

I played it, and now I'm left wondering... Did I make the right choice? Would I make that choice again? This game is really a masterpiece.

[@iexist1300]

It's interesting to see an analysis of the old version of the game like this.

[@JuicedLeaf]

Remember playing this years ago after finally finishing .flow because I assumed (thanks to the art style) that it would be a heart warming game. Maybe even a comedy. Five minutes into it and the game is a lot more depressing than I would of expected, got similarly freaked out when the game called me by my name and I foolishly closed the window just to see what would happen. Don’t know if it was just because I was playing it in the middle of the night, by myself with noise cancelling headphones on so the immersion was high but the scene that plays when you replay the game remains one of the most unnerving experiences I’ve ever had. On the other hand after I properly replayed it later on, it’s still nice to occasionally open the game and see light streaming in through the window.

[@shockdoggo6889]

It looks like this game is a really good showcase of what coding and computers as a whole can do.

[@RedstoneRuler]

If the power goes out or the game crashes, the game recognizes this and lets you continue.

[@tali6844]

This game actually scared me from any and all fights. Good job game.

dont tell anbody but if you want to see the other ending you can just play on another computer account

[@Aphelion87]

Can I talk for a moment about how great the final choice you have to make is? I dont know if this is just me but the ending basically boils down to you asking the question of what you would rather do risk everyone's lives on the small chance you might be able to save everyone, or leave the world to its fate and save the one life you know you can. Again I may be interpreting this wrong but that's what I got out of it and frankly that is a fascinating dilemma to me, I actually had to step away from the game for a few minutes when that came up so I could think things through.

[@geomarpena1941]

The part where the game shows you a pop up and refers you to your name kind of backfired when I played it, because the laptop I was playing the game on used to be my dad's, and due to me being too lazy to change the name, referred to me as 'christian', so I immediately knew that the game was just using my computer name. the fact that the game was even capable of creating a pop-up without crashing still fucked me up though.

I was going to suggest the game creates a folder in appdata, but you already covered that. I guess I'll just end up playing this game in a virtual machine then.

[@Jugdjay]

I don't remember exactly, but I recall finding out how to reset the game years ago. The is an editable file hidden somewhere on the computer. In this file, if you put the right variable back to its original value, it'll reset the game. Problem is, I don't remember where the file is :/

[@Jugdjay]

Wait, I just found it! It's in the registry! You have to use regedit to edit your registry. Then, you have to follow this path: "Computer\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-183873618-247717355-1526021158-1000\Software\Oneshot" Right there, you'll find a registry variable called ending. Here are the working values: 0 -> Default value, resets the game. 1 -> Niko is dead. 2 -> Seems to automatically switch the value back to 1. 3 -> "Return home" ending. 4 -> "Save the world" ending.

[@wallylamamaggie]
