My video before this didn't do too well so a like and subscription go a long way in helping me grow. Thanks so much to the publisher for the review copy :)
[Spoilers don't read if you haven't played OneShot yet] I'd say the main difference between world machine and computer is that with computer, some of the things are just so much more surprising and interesting. It would just never be able to replicate the chills I got when the game said my own name, or when it changed my wall paper when I wasn't looking. World machine is probably really good but if you had to chose, probably go for the PC version.
@@youssefbencheikh8637 It's not really an experience that you can explain to other people, it's just a feeling of awe and curiosity that you get from nothing else, and for only $10 the experience is at least worth trying.
I think while the Steam version is the best way to experience OneShot for the first time, TWM Edition is great for any replaythroughs since you already know all the surprises and the new content and diagonal walking is nice.
I 100% agree. It's something that is definitely recommended to try out if you're a fan or don't have a pc. But, the datchment of it utilizing the 4th wall breaking on your actual pc os is without a doubt is a downgrade that unfortunately had to happen. You just can't replicate that same experience that you get on pc.
[SPOILERS!] the PC version was so immersive. the game changed my background without me realizing, and called me by name. I had to look for the secrets within my own computer files. It was one of the best game experiences I've ever had
[also spoilers] i remember when it hid that little symbol behind the game in my background and i didnt even notice until i closed the game (i have the steam version dont panic) im very bad at puzzles i googled most of them. except i think i managed to do the ram puzzle on my own
SPOLIERS i think when i played it i genuinely believed for a bit that the whole world was real, including niko it was fucking magical, it was like believing in santa again
God , don't scare me like that . I was thinking that this game would be a bitter failure . Good to know that is not the case but man you know how to make people intrested .
Just downloaded it (its 12;49 am for me) and I can't wait to play it tomorrow and I'm glad that everyone in the comments did a spoiler warning because I really didn't want to spoil the game by watching this video, I also feel unequivocally relieved
as much as i would love to play oneshot again, i dont think i ever will. pc or world machine edition, something about the concept of playing this game only one time is something i think will make me love the game more and more as my life goes by. i think thats what makes it so special. "for you, a story. like thousands of other stories. for niko, a dream. like thousands of other dreams." and amazing anaylsis!! your editing and writing alone ripped me right back into my memories of the game
Tysm :) , that’s an interesting way to interact with the game too. You’re welcome to join the discord link in the description if you ever wanna talk about the game.
this concept of creating fake pc’s to make 4th wall breaks and meta puzzles work was a thing they did with the ns version of DDLC too. Pretty good workaround for people who don’t have pc’s that can run those game or don’t have pc’s in general
I think that the pc version is definitely better, however if this your only option to play the game, certainly do so. It’s a wonderful game that i really wish was more popular
As much as it takes away from some of the awesome stuff the pc version does, I feel like this version also adds another layer of atmosphere that I really enjoyed. I like both around the same amount.
you definitely lose a lot of immersion with world machine but i do also like the extra content on the digital world machine itself, unlockable themes, wallpapers, music player, and of course the friend character cards
The way I see it, the console ports, with their new content and little collectibles, are meant for returning players, not as someone's first experience. After all, most computers should be able to run this with ease. I mean, I'm glad to support Nightmargin and the devs by buying the ports, but it's definitely *not* the best way to play OneShot.
Imporant note and spoliers: It's possible to replay post-solstice but only the non-solstice runs. At the title screen there will be a .... option below the exit option. Clicking it will bring you to the world machine which will ask you if you want to play a recording of your run. Saying yes will bring you back to the start but Niko's texture is like that of the world machines reflection. Saying no will crash the game. Also you don't need to delete save file to replay post-solstice.
U know I had a hard time trying to replay OneShot, it's because I treated Niko like a real person that I just feel bad for making him go through all of that again, but I do miss Niko a lot lel so I might try this when I got a switch
@@aizakkukun4985 there is no such thing, and the main creator themselves stated that Niko is nonbinary, why you people understand that others don't have a gender?
I know everything that was in the freeware version of Oneshot, but I've never seen the content that was added to the Steam version, so I fall into a weird middle-ground where I've experienced the game but also haven't experienced everything. Lol.
The effect is weakened on consoles, but I still felt that warmth when talking to Niko :3 If Niko was a chatbot he'd definitely pass the Turing Test :P Also there's extra content and wallpapers now!1!11!

I can understand the lack of immersion making the game not as good as a whole, however the experience I get from the game is still unlike any other I've ever had, and I will never forget it.
I’m glad that the issues aren’t with the actual port itself, but with how the pc version is implemented on consoles. Since I don’t have a pc, I’d rather play this game even if it’s not as good as it’s pc counterpart than not play it at all.
The same reason as DDLC Plus I see. The magic of some of the puzzles were the fact that it ACTUALLY effected your computer, rather than an in-game machine. It just takes the shock value out of the game
My PC recently broke but I still really want to play Oneshot and I have a switch I really hope it doesn't take away from the experience (I'm also planning to get this game on Christmas)
I sadly don’t have a gaming PC (Just a Chromebook) so I’m basically forced to play the World Machine Edition on Switch; I love the cute themes and wallpapers, Friends Gallery, the Music Box App, etc. all in the Fictional Computer Simulation. It’s very cute and charming, but if I get a PC one day, I’ll try to get OneShot on Steam.
I already knew the 4th wall moments ahead of time and just wanted to play the game for myself on a platform I actually enjoy, so this didn't really apply to me.
I won't say that TWM is bad, but pc is 100% more immersive. However because of TWM OneShot might get more popularity and I still like the workarounds so I can't complain
I completely agree with this. There is something more in seeing YOUR desktop, YOUR computer when interacting with OneShot and it adds an even more personal connection to the fourth wall breaks!
I first played Oneshot when it first came out on the switch and I was still Really immersed in the game I don’t think it “lost” it’s charm in my opinion!
sadly it's exactly what I expected from world machine edition it's got the same issues to me that ddlc+ did, the desktop being simulated just...makes a lot of the forth wall breaks blander and less hard hitting then in the original 2 games It's great for someone that has no access to a PC, but if someone has a pc (and seriously ANY pc, both versons work on WINDOWS VISTA with zero issues, and even ran on xp) I'd def reccomend just playing it on pc, it's a overall better experience sadly Extemely meta games that mostly work within Desktop spesific mechanics just....do not work in a concole enviorment and I've yet to see a game of that nature not fail at trying to port itself to consoles unfortunutely
Tbh... I have a windows7 pc, just out of curiosity I tried to play the steam version, and it was a funny experience because I couldn't advance anything because the textures were corruptedAnyway, I played it on another PC, it was fun, but I wouldn't mind playing the console version. (Anyways, the game was corrupted on the first PC because this PC is simply not good for gaming)
MAYJOR SPOLIERS AHEAD IF YOU HAVENT GOTTEN THE TRUE ENDING OF ONESHOT DO NOT READ AHEAD i have gotten the solstice ending and honestly i miss Niko. The fact that i cant see her again and the fact that the game makes it apparent by doing small things like adding a vcr effect to Fake Niko that shows that it isnt the real Niko but just a recording of her memories makes me sad i miss Niko and i want to be able to see the real Niko again so Oneshot: Aftermath makes me happy that i will be able to see an old friend again
I was originally recommended to play OneShot by an internet friend of mine, and I’m just going for the PC release and not the Switch (because I do not have it on Switch) [[SPOILERS FOR ONESHOT]] OneShot was an amazing game that had me enjoy its plot and its clever puzzles. The way you feel so immersed in the game with its puzzles really made me feel something that I hadn’t felt when playing a game at all. The way the Entity calling me by name on my PC really got to me. I wanted to be able to protect Niko when I couldn’t talk to them, and that’s when I knew that to communicate with me in the Tower, they would have needed the lightbulb. I thought I would be able to talk to Niko, I’ve been able to talk to Niko before in the Glen when I gave the sun to Maize, but this really got to my nerves. I honestly wanted to reach out through my monitor and drag Niko into my embrace to tell them that I’m still guiding them and everything will be ok. Even when playing through Solstice, I was reminded of the squares, but seeing the very world I had grown accustomed to being destroyed right before my very eyes was a shock to me. I really enjoyed playing through and getting all the achievements (I play on Steam). The really amazing 4th wall breaks this game has made me enjoy it. Hell, I didn’t even realize what makes the game so special my first time around. But after returning the sun (and accidentally deleting my save file) and replaying the game again (and correctly doing Solstice) the true end felt correct. Like it was truly how it had to happen. Will I get OneShot for switch? Probably, yes. But this game with its 4th wall breaks is one of the best Steam games I’ve ever played.
I disagree with the whole "the adaptation is not entirely like the pc version". Dunno, it fits pretty well for me. Both the pc gymics and simulations of an pc.
Unfortunately I played on my Nintendo switch ‘cause I don’t have a computer, but I still felt those emotions you talked about in your video every time I hear the song sunshine or in memory I start crying
If there's any direct positive i can give to OneShot players new and old World Machine seems to be an altered STEAM release version So, at least you won't get THAT ONE AWFUL EVENT without really trying to get it
@@RowanSkie It has something to do with one of the achievements, or failing to get it. (CC to OP) I actually would hope that mechanic was added back giving that it's possible in current gen consoles to go into sleep mode, which might not be as doable on a PC.
There is a charm that the pc version has that the console version doesn't. Honestly, even with the additives of new content in the console version, the pc version will always be the best version. (In my opinion of course.)
So it's a personal adventure kinda thing, where your personal attachment to your computer also impacts your attachment of the game? Never played the game but I have played DDLC, which basically does the same thing with the PC to console port.
I admit, for a long while I had a little grudge on this game thanks to the "World Machine" version. I played through it on PC and enjoyed it, but knew there were multiple endings so figured it'd be a cool idea to wait a little while and then play through it again so the story beats will tug at the right heartstrings again. But then I heard of the Switch version and how it had more features than the PC one. As someone who doesn't own a Switch - I kinda felt almost betrayed by this. Didn't help that not long before I found out, another game I literally just bought on PC had an updated and more feature-filled version on console. So yeah, wasn't feeling great about any of this. That was a couple of years ago and I just forgot about OneShot. Then I stumbled on this video and thought "Sure why not" so I watched...and while I still feel like the PC version could've gotten some of these features, I do feel a little better and I do want to continue playing through the different endings. Also +1 sub. Was a good vid and pushed me to play through again.
Oneshot WME isn't the worse version. It just won't bring the same kind of immersion and that's it. (It would bring some different kind of immersion though.)
I still got chills on the World Machine when it said my name (I played on switch) and it was still an amazing experience as someone who doesn’t play pc games. I’ve already played normal and solstice and enjoyed a lot!
I'd say WME is even more magical than the Steam version because it kinda just subtly bring even more unanswered questions to the story. Also it technically gives a more "complete" ending to the story. Whether that should be trusted by its surface look or should be taken with a grain of salt though, is up to everyone's interpretation. (Also it's even more official than the level of officiality we already got that what's under Niko's hat is what anyone would imagine.)
So I literally just discovered this game a couple of days ago. A friend of mine told me about it, and since I had some money from a gift card on my Switch, I decided to buy it. Keep in mind, I’ve never heard of the game before, let alone play it. It was certainly an emotional rollercoaster of a game. I played DDLC+ before, and the idea of a virtual desktop was not new to me. I went into the game completely blind, aside from the general idea that the 4th wall would be broken (based on the fact that there was even a virtual desktop and DDLC+ is very similar in that regard). But I can confidently say that I didn’t have any idea of just how amazed I still was by the 4th wall breaks. I did play through the game both times (through the solace ending). I think the part that got me was that as you were playing through the game (full screen, obviously) you start to forget that you are playing the game in a virtual desktop, and not just the game itself. I got totally immersed in the story and the game itself, that when the World machine talked to me, it came as a total surprise. And it happened each and every time. I think the only complaint I can think of is how if you’re in full screen and you enter somewhere that requires the desktop, the game exits out of full screen. Which is a bit immersion breaking, to say the least. Like, I think if I was in [SPOILERS] the entrance to the tower and saw that giant X, I think I would know what to do. I think it would have even been a moment where it’s like “what do I do here again? OH YEAH! I’m in a virtual desktop! I know what to do here!” I’m disappointed that I played the whole game in just 2 sittings. When I got Niko to sleep, I just reopened the game because I wanted to see what happened next. After everything is said and done, I’m giving the game itself and the console port an incredible 9/10
I had already experienced OneShot with someone else on PC previously, but I got this as my first hands on experience with OneShot. And while the way the game works isn't nearly as surprising with both context of knowing how the PC version did, and the fact that as a console game it won't send you digging through a lot , they do a damn good job at making it all feel how it was meant to, because it uses everything it has (including the limitations) to give you the full OneShot experience, even though it knows that it can't surprise you the same way as the PC version
How come every time I play a video game on a console, the PC version is better, and every time I play a video game on a PC, the console version is better?
the thing is OneShot just couldn't work on any platform other than the PC. because while WME is game inside the game, the original version is the game inside your PC (if u get wat am talkin 'bout)
I mean, yeah, it's gonna be a worse experience since like Undertale and DDLC, it too fucks with your pc, without that, it's gotta find a way to do it's thing, and that takes sacrifices
Man if I chod time travel I who'd be like HEY DO NOT WACHT THET VIDEO GO CONVINCE YOUR PARENTS TO BUY YOU THE GAME INSTEAD OK cus I wacht all the game play more then once minde you and I still never boht the game look look calm down which considering tis fandom you probably actually are but like I'm still a kid also yes I only now realised thet ther is a console edition ....... Hold on where was I going whit tis like for real idk idk where you know what ima cust end the comment hear cya
Part of me really wants to get The World Machine edition, as One Shot changed how I view storytelling. The other part of me wants to never touch the game again as that's kinda the point of the Solstice ending.
Am i wrong for playing this on console for the first time and still getting extra melancholic and sad? The only thing i absolutely despised was how the borders couldnt be removed, they were very distracting and un-immersive Was it that hard to give the option to make them black?
I like your Oneshot videos, Your explanation and comments on the game is interesting.could I reprint them to bilibili to show it to more people?I will mark youtuber in video introduction (My English is very terrible, so some sentences need to use translater, please understand:)
I got this on a sale on switch so I had to finally try although I wish I would have just gotten it on pc because watching another lper playing this game I was blown away by some of the things they did with this game especially the ending.It reminded of flowey forcing the game to close in Undertale which blew my mind because I thought the game crashed. This game is similar to Undertale in alot of ways and dont know how I didn't hear about this game until 2022.
I first heard about OneShot when it was announced that it was coming to the Switch, but I played the regular PC version for my first experience since I had heard that it would be better on PC. I do agree that for the best first experience with OneShot possible, you should get it on PC- it's just so much more immersive and surprising and wonderful. But, once the console version came out, I did buy it to replay the game and check out the bits of extra content, and I very much enjoyed it (and also plan to 100% it), but nothing can really beat the PC experience. anyway, tl;dr is play the PC version for your first experience, and then if you feel like it play the console version for the bits of extra content.
@@polocatfan it does. I only played the PC version but even if they meant performance it couldn't have ran that badly. It's a 2d game. I feel like they're asking *how* it runs rather than Performance
If you mean performance... There're some loading stutters which might or might not get fixed in the future. If you mean bugs there are a few, but isn't hugely experience impacting. If you mean implementation basically the right analog stick and ZR button is used for controlling the virtual mouse and everything else is for the Oneshot window, and you basically need to alternate between these two to get through the game. On handheld mode it's also possible to use the touch screen.

But after returning the sun (and accidentally deleting my save file) and replaying the game again (and correctly doing Solstice) the true end felt correct. Like it was truly how it had to happen. Will I get OneShot for switch? Probably, yes. But this game with its 4th wall breaks is one of the best Steam games I’ve ever played.
I've never played one shot before, but when you said rpg maker i was immediately enticed, my favorite game was made with rpg maker
I’m just glad there’s more content for this game. I also like the little bells and whistles they include, such as the beautiful wallpapers.
I’ve only played this on switch and it was still an incredible experience
I disagree with the whole "the adaptation is not entirely like the pc version". Dunno, it fits pretty well for me. Both the pc gymics and simulations of an pc.
Unfortunately I played on my Nintendo switch ‘cause I don’t have a computer, but I still felt those emotions you talked about in your video every time I hear the song sunshine or in memory I start crying
"In memory" hits hard fr
hearing first 3 seconds of it already reminds of everything
They pulled a DDLC and just put an fucking operating system in there
To be honest, I quite liked oneshot's 4-way movement. It has a nice charm. It made the time feel, more.
I feel like this is the best they could with consoles. I like their answer though.
wait theres a map in the console version what the hell why did i buy the pc version
If there's any direct positive i can give to OneShot players new and old
World Machine seems to be an altered STEAM release version
So, at least you won't get THAT ONE AWFUL EVENT without really trying to get it
what event? I've played it back in 2017 (and can't get myself to play again within a Memory Run)... do you mean the clock?
@@RowanSkie It has something to do with one of the achievements, or failing to get it.
(CC to OP) I actually would hope that mechanic was added back giving that it's possible in current gen consoles to go into sleep mode, which might not be as doable on a PC.
i’ve only played the switch version but i guess pc’s next in line
There is a charm that the pc version has that the console version doesn't. Honestly, even with the additives of new content in the console version, the pc version will always be the best version. (In my opinion of course.)
So it's a personal adventure kinda thing, where your personal attachment to your computer also impacts your attachment of the game?
Never played the game but I have played DDLC, which basically does the same thing with the PC to console port.
You really should play pc if you have ANY like a literal toaster/potato could propably run the game so its 100% worth it
Great review, I look forward to reexperiencing this masterpiece.
I admit, for a long while I had a little grudge on this game thanks to the "World Machine" version. I played through it on PC and enjoyed it, but knew there were multiple endings so figured it'd be a cool idea to wait a little while and then play through it again so the story beats will tug at the right heartstrings again. But then I heard of the Switch version and how it had more features than the PC one. As someone who doesn't own a Switch - I kinda felt almost betrayed by this. Didn't help that not long before I found out, another game I literally just bought on PC had an updated and more feature-filled version on console. So yeah, wasn't feeling great about any of this.
That was a couple of years ago and I just forgot about OneShot. Then I stumbled on this video and thought "Sure why not" so I watched...and while I still feel like the PC version could've gotten some of these features, I do feel a little better and I do want to continue playing through the different endings.
Also +1 sub. Was a good vid and pushed me to play through again.
Thank you. It’s been a while since my last oneshot video but more oneshot content is coming soon
What if people don't own a pc? I know quite a few.
Oneshot WME isn't the worse version. It just won't bring the same kind of immersion and that's it. (It would bring some different kind of immersion though.)
I still got chills on the World Machine when it said my name (I played on switch) and it was still an amazing experience as someone who doesn’t play pc games. I’ve already played normal and solstice and enjoyed a lot!
Well... i dont have pc so switch will have to do
My favorite thing about this is that it isn’t reviewing it as it feels like a port or remake, but a game in itself trying to capture what one shot is
I'd say WME is even more magical than the Steam version because it kinda just subtly bring even more unanswered questions to the story.
Also it technically gives a more "complete" ending to the story. Whether that should be trusted by its surface look or should be taken with a grain of salt though, is up to everyone's interpretation.
(Also it's even more official than the level of officiality we already got that what's under Niko's hat is what anyone would imagine.)
So I literally just discovered this game a couple of days ago. A friend of mine told me about it, and since I had some money from a gift card on my Switch, I decided to buy it. Keep in mind, I’ve never heard of the game before, let alone play it. It was certainly an emotional rollercoaster of a game. I played DDLC+ before, and the idea of a virtual desktop was not new to me. I went into the game completely blind, aside from the general idea that the 4th wall would be broken (based on the fact that there was even a virtual desktop and DDLC+ is very similar in that regard). But I can confidently say that I didn’t have any idea of just how amazed I still was by the 4th wall breaks. I did play through the game both times (through the solace ending). I think the part that got me was that as you were playing through the game (full screen, obviously) you start to forget that you are playing the game in a virtual desktop, and not just the game itself. I got totally immersed in the story and the game itself, that when the World machine talked to me, it came as a total surprise. And it happened each and every time. I think the only complaint I can think of is how if you’re in full screen and you enter somewhere that requires the desktop, the game exits out of full screen. Which is a bit immersion breaking, to say the least. Like, I think if I was in [SPOILERS] the entrance to the tower and saw that giant X, I think I would know what to do. I think it would have even been a moment where it’s like “what do I do here again? OH YEAH! I’m in a virtual desktop! I know what to do here!”
I’m disappointed that I played the whole game in just 2 sittings. When I got Niko to sleep, I just reopened the game because I wanted to see what happened next.
After everything is said and done, I’m giving the game itself and the console port an incredible 9/10
"never needed"
every rpg maker game needs it
I had already experienced OneShot with someone else on PC previously, but I got this as my first hands on experience with OneShot. And while the way the game works isn't nearly as surprising with both context of knowing how the PC version did, and the fact that as a console game it won't send you digging through a lot , they do a damn good job at making it all feel how it was meant to, because it uses everything it has (including the limitations) to give you the full OneShot experience, even though it knows that it can't surprise you the same way as the PC version
It's great that komoto and OneShot devs decided to port WME to PC and Steam Deck. It planned to came out on September 30
i want to play this game on every version possible
In my opinion, the WME version is a better GAME, while the PC version is the better OneShot experience.
I just bought it ik it won't be as good but I just can't play it on pc I'm hoping I can still enjoy this masterpiece
You will :))
How come every time I play a video game on a console, the PC version is better, and every time I play a video game on a PC, the console version is better?
One simply does not replay OneShot
I would love to play this version of the game but i sadly don't own a switch :,]
It's on PS and Xbox too
I actually bought a Switch specifically for this. (Though after finishing it I'm now mainly on Xenoblade Chronicals 3)
Pancakes!!! :O
the thing is OneShot just couldn't work on any platform other than the PC.
because while WME is game inside the game, the original version is the game inside your PC
(if u get wat am talkin 'bout)
I mean, yeah, it's gonna be a worse experience since like Undertale and DDLC, it too fucks with your pc, without that, it's gotta find a way to do it's thing, and that takes sacrifices
OMORI: 72 Hours On record.
Brother, I hope you are okay, playing both one shot and omori. (I have also completed both lel)
Man if I chod time travel I who'd be like HEY DO NOT WACHT THET VIDEO GO CONVINCE YOUR PARENTS TO BUY YOU THE GAME INSTEAD OK cus I wacht all the game play more then once minde you and I still never boht the game look look calm down which considering tis fandom you probably actually are but like I'm still a kid also yes I only now realised thet ther is a console edition ....... Hold on where was I going whit tis like for real idk idk where you know what ima cust end the comment hear cya
Part of me really wants to get The World Machine edition, as One Shot changed how I view storytelling. The other part of me wants to never touch the game again as that's kinda the point of the Solstice ending.
i love the friend gallery, oi wish i could get the images to put as wallpaper. especially the magpie, calamus alula and the ram girl backdrops
Lore of OneShot lost something on Consoles (World Machine Edition) momentum 100
Am i wrong for playing this on console for the first time and still getting extra melancholic and sad? The only thing i absolutely despised was how the borders couldnt be removed, they were very distracting and un-immersive
Was it that hard to give the option to make them black?
As someone who thought oneshot was only available on pc, i thought the console version of the game was just your editing style.
At least it makes sense that they couldn't keep everything. And hey, the fact they ported this to consoles like THAT is nuts.
It's better on console.
😳
me when the game designed for desktops is worse on console 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It’s on console so that’s what I reviewed it for. If that upsets you that wouldn’t be consistent with intelligence.
@@bossdoor toxic
I just wait a year to play it again
Biggest lie I’ve heard this year
I like your Oneshot videos, Your explanation and comments on the game is interesting.could I reprint them to bilibili to show it to more people?I will mark youtuber in video introduction (My English is very terrible, so some sentences need to use translater, please understand:)
Sure as long as you give credit
@@bossdoor thanks bro
I just got oneshot today and I played it for 8 HOURS (the world machine edition) and I love it I will probably get the computer version soon
I got this on a sale on switch so I had to finally try although I wish I would have just gotten it on pc because watching another lper playing this game I was blown away by some of the things they did with this game especially the ending.It reminded of flowey forcing the game to close in Undertale which blew my mind because I thought the game crashed.
This game is similar to Undertale in alot of ways and dont know how I didn't hear about this game until 2022.
my only gripe with world machine edition is. gosh, i wish the desktop was slightly nicer
like, just... gradient windows and a 1px shadow!
I’m probably going to get World Machine Edition due to it being likely that OneShot on Steam might trigger my sometimes trigger happy anti-virus.
Does anyone know how to get the wallpapers from the console version? They look amazing.
5:54 You should check out fading memory too if you haven't already!
Well, no shit
How do you even open the menu on that version
I tried my best but it just wont open
I first heard about OneShot when it was announced that it was coming to the Switch, but I played the regular PC version for my first experience since I had heard that it would be better on PC. I do agree that for the best first experience with OneShot possible, you should get it on PC- it's just so much more immersive and surprising and wonderful. But, once the console version came out, I did buy it to replay the game and check out the bits of extra content, and I very much enjoyed it (and also plan to 100% it), but nothing can really beat the PC experience.
anyway, tl;dr is play the PC version for your first experience, and then if you feel like it play the console version for the bits of extra content.
I mainly bought this version because it costs more and its giving more money to the devs
agree
"answers aren't given in abundance here"
*shows subscriber graph*
Don't scare me with that title tho, jesus.
Wait...THIS IS IN SWITCH???
Yeah
STAWP MAKIN NIKO SAD IN THE TITLE IMAGESBSVDNS AHHHHGGHHHH
Lmao
one must imagine niko sad
8 hours on one shot, thats amazing, BUT DAM HOW DID YOU SPEND 72 HOURS ON OMORI.
Oh was that in the background or something? Haha
@@bossdoor 5:03
yup hahaha x)
@@bossdoor how does that even happen lol
Amazing video bro, subbed
How did the game run on switch?
They remade it
@@theluminousone5883 that doesn't answer the question
@@polocatfan it does. I only played the PC version but even if they meant performance it couldn't have ran that badly. It's a 2d game.
I feel like they're asking *how* it runs rather than Performance
If you mean performance... There're some loading stutters which might or might not get fixed in the future. If you mean bugs there are a few, but isn't hugely experience impacting. If you mean implementation basically the right analog stick and ZR button is used for controlling the virtual mouse and everything else is for the Oneshot window, and you basically need to alternate between these two to get through the game. On handheld mode it's also possible to use the touch screen.
