This game is a masterpiece at the aspects that it presents.

The Gameplay: On the surface, the controls are relatively simple. You're able to interact with items that you pick up and certain parts of the environment in order to progress. When you dive deeper into the game, you have to start interacting with your computer files in order to progress (Which I found to be hella cool for me).

The Story (No Spoilers): To put it in short, you're a "god" and you're helping Niko (a cat-person child who randomly wakes up in an unfamiliar room) deliver "The sun" (or light bulb) to the top of a tower. Along the way, characters will try to discourage or encourage you into completing that goal. I wish I could go on but I feel like I'd just ramble on and on and accidentally spoil most of it.

The Characters: I feel like the characters that are mainly interacted with are unique to me. Their costumes and personality really breath out as to what they are. Hell, some of them you can initiate either a mini-cutscene or get extra dialogue after talking to some of them. Only problem I have is that you won't be seeing them as much, as progressing to another area usually leaves them behind.

The Music: As with a lot of video games, the music really helps the overall tone of what each area is. Whether it be an industrial factory, or an overgrown forest, this game really helps the atmosphere give off that vibe.

In Conclusion: If you want to experience a small game with deep story telling, amazing characters, and out-of-the-box thinking in mind, get this game on itch.io for free. If you want to experience all of that with an addition of; Renewed assets, additional ending, better characters, supporting the creators, buy OneShot.

But Remember, You Only Get One Shot.
