OneShot is a really unique game that has great characters and an interesting story. I really like all of the meta/fourth wall elements in this game. It never really feels all that forced. It just fits. The puzzles and clues that the game uses your own computer for are just neat and, I really enjoyed how they kept elevating the idea as the game went on
Like I said, I really liked the characters, and I built a connection to Niko which made me feel really great about the journey we were going on. For a zoomer game, the dialogue is done really well. I don't remember any cringe lines at all and there were actually some pretty funny lines in there from time to time.
My main issues with the game revolve around the the the world and parts of the solstice ending. The world itself at times is visually uninteresting. I know it is an RPG-maker game but based on the games I have played like it this one probably stacks up the worst as far as how the world looks. I know at times in the game the point is for the world to look barren, I feel it could have done better in the style department. The character designs are decent though. In conclusion, I am a zoomer who likes Undertale and Omori, and, therefore, I enjoyed this game. There is just something about going on the journey with Niko, especially during the main story, that was really enjoyable for me.
