OneShot is a wildly interesting game. It's a few fairly straight-forward puzzles littered around a moderately-interesting-but-also-dying world. You do puzzles to advance the game, and guide Niko to their destiny. Yeah Niko's a cat-person-child of questionable gender but just go with it. Which is kind of the whole premise of the game: There's something weird that isn't explained, but-yeah-just-go-with-it.
I guess that's also the charm of the game. The characters are wacky and so incredibly charming, led by Niko who is so incredibly well-written that you can't help but love the poor little catperson.
By the end, it's so wildly high-stakes and heartbreaking that you can't help but be drawn in.
KIND OF SPOILERS FOR THIS ONE LINE, BUT NOT REALLY: I will say that the "postgame" was a lot weaker to me and felt unnecessary. I was happy with the ending, and continuing it felt just... it was fine, but unnecessary. END OF KIND OF SPOILERS IS HERE
So yeah, I highly recommend you play it because it's so incredibly good. As a caveat, if you don't find it charming by the end of the first area, the game probably isn't for you, because the game lives and dies on the charm of the characters.
