While Niko finds friends throughout his journey, the most important character relationship in OneShot is the one between Niko and the player. Well shit, thanks for telling us that now. That’s not to say Niko’s not in any danger – the world he’s meant to save is collapsing bit by bit for reasons that remain unknown to its residents. There’s no combat, no boss battles, nothing like that. I can’t elaborate on what that means without spoiling parts of the game, so I’ll leave it at that.Īs you guide Niko through this strange world, you’ll have to help him solve puzzles, typically by finding, trading, using, and combining items in your inventory. You, the player sitting behind the screen, are one of the main characters in OneShot, and everyone in the world knows you exist… including the game itself. OneShot doesn’t just break the fourth wall – it demolishes the damn thing, 1989 Berlin Wall style. I also played Undertale, the game that OneShot always seems to be compared with, and that game broke the fourth wall as well.

This world contains independent light and power sources, but they’re finite, and once they’re exhausted, the world will be shrouded in darkness. There, Niko finds a robot dressed like a holy man, who calls him “Savior” and tells him the light bulb he found is this world’s new sun and that his mission is to bring it to the top of a massive tower to restore light to the world, replacing the old sun that broke one day without warning. Well, he’s not quite alone – you, the player, are with him.* After finding a mysterious self-lighting light bulb, Niko finds his way out of the house into a strange fantasy world totally different from his own. OneShot is the story of Niko, a child with cat-like features (big yellow cat eyes and fangs and whiskers – not a cat, though, as we’ll learn later on) who wakes up in a creepy dark house alone. This game isn’t that easy to review for reasons that will hopefully become apparent. This is the version that’s been put up for sale on Steam, and it’s the version I played.

This RPG Maker game was originally a free title released in 2014, but it got a massive overhaul along with a completely new chapter near the end of 2016. Yeah, I’m late again, aren’t I? OneShot was making the rounds back in 2016/2017, and here I am about two years after the party ended as usual.
