OneShot is an adventure game developed by indie studio Future Cat and published by Degica. Based on a 2014 free version, it was released for Steam on December 8, 2016, and on itch.io on March 12, 2020. The game was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One for September 22, 2022 as OneShot: World Machine Edition.
Officially described as a game where "the world knows you exist", both its gameplay and plot involve metafictional elements. Many puzzles involve interacting with the operating system outside of the game application. Narratively, the player is a separate character from the protagonist Niko. The latter arrive in an unfamiliar world which has been deprived of its sunlight, and eventually aim to restore it by replacing its sun, a lightbulb, at the top of a tower.
OneShot received largely positive reviews, with most reviewers praising its narrative and metafictional aspects, comparing it positively to other games such as Undertale. In 2017, the game was nominated for the "PC Game of the Year" Golden Joystick Award.
