If you're in the market for something different, you might want to take a look at OneShot. OneShot is a 2D Puzzle Adventure that pitches itself to have "unique gameplay capabilities" according to its Steam Page. So what exactly does that mean? OneShot aims to explore the relationship between the game and its player. We've seen games break the fourth wall before, mostly through narrative context or dialog, but OneShot is aiming to make the fourth wall an enemy.
OneShot takes place in an empty and barren wasteland of a world, and it is up to the player to guide the protagonist, Niko through it. You will have to use various items, characters, and the environment to progress.
Here's a list of the game's features:
- Puzzle adventure game elements that go beyond the game window
- A world that already knows you exist
- A diverse cast of eccentric characters
- A haunting, original soundtrack
- Retro pixel art
- Real consequences
- Pancakes!
And here are a few things that Developer, Team Oneshot want you to keep in mind:
- The 4th wall is your enemy sometimes.
- Consequences may be permanent.
How exactly the fourth wall will be your enemy is still a mystery, but it looks like one worth unraveling. OneShot will release on Steam on December 8th, 2016.
