You Only Have One Shot

Happy 10th anniversary!

I mean, one of those small details that I always felt were kind of sad was that line Cedric has about not knowing Calamus or Alula... which makes sense in a way, because it was the Author who knew them better. And yet both Cedric and Calamus feel close in age and have similar personalities I am genuinely surprised they weren't friends.

And now considering their circumstances... Both of them need to be the proactive sibling, ready to react to situations that are beyond what teens like them should be doing.

We... never get told what happened to Rachis, although context probably tells us he was one of the NPCs lost to the squares. But even if Calamus and Alula were not aware of that truth, they're both still functionally orphans, and Calamus has made it his responsibility to make sure Alula is okay because she is all he has left.

Cedric is one of the few people aware of being in a simulation, and this by itself is already really isolating. Cedric is also the one responsible for... pretty much ensuring that Niko made it to the city and fulfilled their mission, having to make up plans as he goes. Not to mention the knowledge that his father is gone for good now, and the grief that is tied to it.

And besides all of this, I just really think that these two are alike in personality. Both are really polite, hardworking and responsible. The only big differences are their sets of skills and that Cedric is more willing to take risks on the spot, while I feel like Calamus would be more cautious in his place.

It is a crime, Oneshot never hit trending page, in fact there is so little attention for this game that it has made me upset enough to want to advertise it! Please check this game out (they just released a Switch/Playstation/XBOX version called Oneshot: World Machine Edition for $15 downloadble only) but its also avaliable on Steam (for $10)

So let me tell you about my favorite game!

Do you like meta games like Undertale and Doki Doki Literature Club that break the 4th wall? How about cute protagonists you have to protect at all cost? A facinating story, a reaction to every action based puzzle game, with a satisfying end and lovely cast of characters? Art by Temmie Chang (you know the one from Undertale???)

You only have one shot! Please play this lovely game! Give it the love and attention it so rightfully deserves!

Here's some Trailers! First one is the release date trailer and the other was 4 months ago!
