▍OneShot: World Machine Edition Gameplay
The player and Niko must explore different areas of a post-apocalyptic world, talk to NPCs, find items and solve puzzles. The game is played in a top-down 2D perspective and items can be used to interact with a specific location, or be combined to form a new item.
Many puzzles in OneShot involve the player interacting with an operating system outside of the game window. In the PC version of the OneShot, the player had to locate certain files and information on their hard drive in order to get answers, solve puzzles, and progress through the game.
In the console version of OneShot, players will operate the game via “The World Machine,” a built-in operating system that allows the player to run OneShot on their video game console. The top-down gameplay window can be minimized anytime and the player can access files within the OS like a computer.
World Machine supports actions such as dragging and dropping file icons, moving application windows on the screen, and basic file management. It also features options such as color themes, desktop wallpaper changes, and collectibles.
Combining a narrative aspect with meta elements and immersive storytelling and puzzle solving beyond the game window, the game offers players a gaming experience like no other, as you think outside the box.
