It's silly, but after finishing Oneshot I genuinely felt like life was emptier, like a person I knew was gone. It honestly reminded me of the weeks after my childhood dog passed. I've never had any game leave such an impact on me and I don't think I'll ever experience that again.

I think a lot of AAA companies don't understand (at least until now) is that players ultimately want to be engaged with many facets of their games and not just the gameplay. Indie developers in a good amount of cases really do understand this and I commend them for creating masterpieces such as Oneshot. Here's to hoping that they can lead the videogame industry into a better direction.

Haven’t watched the video yet, but I just wanna say that the ending of the first playthrough was the most horrified I’ve ever felt at a piece of media. Like, I couldn’t stop shaking! It’s in my top 5 favorite stories I’ve ever experienced and I will never forget it for the rest of my life even if I refuse to replay it due to reasons you’ll find out in the second playthrough. Editing this comment just because I can sense some people being curious about my top 5 favorite stories if this comment blows up which I doubt but just in case: 1. Umineko When They Cry 2. Usogui (You have never heard of this one but please for the love of god read it!) 3. Lord of the Rings (The films but I intend on reading the books someday!) 4. Oneshot 5. Tie between Blade of the Immortal and Lone Wolf and Cub Take that with a grain of salt though I sorta change this top 5 around a lot

There was a Flash game on Newgrounds maybe ten years ago called _One Chance_ which gave you one chance to beat it, and if you tried to reload it, it would just load up whatever end screen you got. You could trick it into letting you play it again by deleting your temporary internet files.

[@saltedquackers5264]

Solstice was honestly the most interesting part of OneShot that got me to stay and get both endings. It's been a while since I finished it, and I still listen to some of the OST because it's so chill.

[@dagiantratt6134]

Every time I hear Oneshot music, my chest hurts, because of how amazing it is and of how real the characters felt to me. I've played it so many times and I kow I will do so more each year.

[@KindaUnoriginal]

I'm not one to watch your videos often but I must admit that when I saw "Oneshot" in the title, I got hyped. SPOILER WARNING!!! Oneshot is an absolute favorite game of mine and many other friends of mine too. I first discovered the game years ago and I played through the whole thing (Solstice included) and loved it to the bottom of my heart. Its story is so unbelievably touching and holds a very close place to my heart for how attached I became towards it. I've never played a game that had me almost tearing up like this it was magnificent. I probably would've enjoyed the game a lot more but I had the misfortune of playing with an old friend who ended up ruining it for me by either spoiling a lot, backseat gaming, or making the story more intense and dramatic than it was supposed to be, ultimately holding back its full impact. However I still adored the game, it's now my favorite story game of all time. I've recently had the pleasure of introducing Oneshot to a very close friend of mine and letting him play it all the way without spoilers or getting too involved in the story or anything. When they approached the tower and realized they had to either destroy the world or leave Niko to die, I shit you not I have never heard him cry so genuinely like that before. It took about 5-10 minutes I believe until he had the courage to make his choice and save Niko. ONLY THEN did I decide to say "btw there's a secret ending where you can save both lol" and we played that the next 2 days later. It became one of his favorite games and he began to love it as much as me. About a month passes and I hear the news that this friend just introduced Oneshot to THEIR friend, and now they had the honor of listening to their friend cry in a call at the tower so they could reveal the secret ending just after the choice was made, making that new friend love the game too. Oneshot hits people so personally with how real the characters appear as and I admire that. You wanna be careful because you've bonded so much with this character and you just want the best for them. My final quote for the game is that "It's the best game you'll never want to play again" because even I for about a year or two decided that I would never reopen Oneshot after Solstice because I just wanted best for Niko and everyone else. I didn't care about achievements or anything, I just wanted the characters to rest peacefully in a world now perfect.

[@SapphirePhoenix7]

OneShot has always held a special place in my heart, although it only took me two days to complete it has been one of my favorite games for years. It’s the kind of game that makes me want to wipe my mind just to experience it one more time. Do yourself a favor and buy it, you won’t regret it.

[@burghleyimeanberdly6513]

Oneshot does a masterful job of foreshadowing the revel near the end of the game and I had the unfortunate experience of figuring it out before I'd even left the Barrens, I cried a little when i had to make the final decision okay i cried a lot

[@earthboiproductions2407]

Fun fact: OneShot was originally called that because you literally only had one shot. You could not close the game, or Niko would lose your guidance and die without you. Upon returning to the game, an eerie message would appear saying “You killed Niko.” Saving was only absent in the 2014 freeware demo version, and this is no longer the case. Progress saving was added with the original Steam release, so you can now close the game while Niko remains perfectly alive!

(Now this is spoiler territory, so do not pass any further) When you complete the full game, and I mean past the simple choice between smashing the sun or not, it's pretty hitting on how it can make you feel, even if it's been done similarly. I think it has it the charm.
