## About OneShot

OneShot is a 2016 indie adventure from Future Cat LLC, available for $5.99. Players guide a young character named Niko through a mysterious world on a mission to restore its dormant sun, navigating puzzle challenges and branching paths that lead to multiple endings. The game employs fourth-wall-breaking mechanics and meta-narrative elements where player actions permanently alter save files and story outcomes. Reviewers note its atmospheric and melancholic tone blended with whimsical storytelling, with particular emphasis on how the protagonist becomes endearing to players. Players describe the fourth-wall breaks as creating a sense of personal responsibility for Niko's fate, and some find the weight of story choices emotionally significant. The game holds a 98% positive rating from over 31,000 Steam reviews and a Metacritic score of 80. OneShot is not currently supported on Steam Deck.
