I guessed that Niko must’ve launched out of the screen head first and knocked me back. It’s owner currently resting on my chest. It took a moment for my vision to fully return, but when it did and I looked down, a familiar cat-eared hat was staring me in the face. I didn’t know for sure who or what was on me, but I didn’t exactly feel like being unfriendly considering the circumstances. In a panic I wrapped my arms around the weight on my chest. I felt a heavy weight on my chest and my head hurt. My headset was skewed and I thought one of the lights might have broken. A couple of the empty bottles on my desk had been knocked to the floor. I tried to look through it as Niko faded from view. Despite its size Niko was able to push it open easily enough.įor the briefest moment I felt a sudden burst of static and a bright light. “Come on, I think I see some kinda door over here.”Įventually I managed to lead NIko to the bottom of my screen, where a large door was sitting. But not safe enough.” I look around my desktop and noticed a faint glow along the bottom edge of my screen, which slowly formed into a door. "Wow, where am I?" Niko's eyes were wide as they wandered around my desktop. Luckily my earlier precaution wasn't needed, as Niko was able to walk along my desktop as if it was a floor. With another confirmation, Niko walked out of the game screen. I grabbed a picture from the side of my desktop and slid it over so it's just under the door. "I'm sure it'll work." I say this, though I feel uncertain. Please be careful "Īgain Niko looked fairly pensive about what lay ahead of him. "There's a wall in the way but I can see a lot of light." Niko looks back up as he says this. Regardless the door opened easily enough. Maybe I should've taken that as a clue that something odd was about to happen. I narrowed my eyes slightly as I'd noticed the camera wasn't following Niko.
I could swear I could hear the faintest bit of static as Niko was getting closer to the door. With that said and done I led Niko towards the door on the far right, down the hall. We just need a little more time to make sure you'll be able to save this world and go home." But the Author and I have a plan to keep you safe. Luckily tapping Z didn't send the message as it was. Instead of a regular prompt with choices, I was left with a slowly blinking line. "Is something really dangerous going on? I thought we were suppose to go to the tower and save the world, _." Niko looked decidedly worried after reading that note with me. You may have to use your head." Again, another black clover was set into the lower right corner. But please take Niko to the safest place you know. "I'm sorry that I don't know the extent of your powers. I saw a note had been pasted to the wall along that hallway.
With most of the room checked out I noticed a long hallway going to the right of the room. I figured they weren’t of much importance since Niko wouldn’t comment on them. There wasn’t much within the mostly square room beyond a few blank sheets of paper and a couple of gears. With that selected the door slid open and I led Niko inside. "So we're going in here, _?" Niko looked up and asked.Ī simple yes/no prompt appeared. Please bring Niko through to somewhere safe" The familiar clover of the Author in the lower right corner made me feel at ease. But when the countdown reached zero a note appeared on the door. The large nixie tubes displayed the last ten seconds before the door would unlock. With Maize's seed handled and the elevator button remade, more as ways to occupy myself until it was 10:28, I led Niko into the room and up the stairs towards the time locked door. Through tired eyes I realised the sun was back and I had been up all night, but the date on my computer read March 20th and that gave me just enough energy to push through the game one more time. Oneshot had been updated recently after all. Of course I had taken breaks from the game every once in a while but that time locked door kept me coming back.Īfter another long night theorising on what would happen the next day on the Discord server, I booted the game back up. I had lost track of how many times I had guided Niko through that decaying world, but every puzzle that wasn't randomised was muscle memory by then.
I had been playing OneShot for months now.
