oneway.exe: Module 1.0

NightMind recommended this game, in the same vein of Shipwrecked 64. Boy does it deliver. I just finished the game a few minutes ago after binging through everything and I have a lot of thoughts that I need to process about it regarding the story. But this is equal parts delightful and dreadful. Watching the slow, creeping horror of the modern day settle in and the wonderful relationship of three friends slowly decay and rot. Weaving together a haunting and technological horror together to tell its tale. There are many other games similar in style, but this is a work of art. I'm amazed that there are less than 100 reviews of this game on steam, I couldn't even find video compilations of the other endings! First time I've experienced a game that's flown so under the radar. Wonderful stuff. Hats off to you, crew!

i've been begging all my friends to play or at least watch ME play this game nonstop since i started playing it, so the logical course of action is i ought to repeat the sentiment here: PLAY THIS GAME! PLEASE!!!!! if you have any love in your heart for internet horror in all its permutations, for creepypasta, fnaf, marble hornets, even chain emails about that girl who died in a sewer and crawls out of the drain to kill you if you don't pass her tragic tale along, PLAY THIS GAME!!!!!!! the game ITSELF is a haunted video game creepypasta for god's sake, and there's an ARG to tie into THAT side of internet horror as well. if you want to feel like it's 2013 again and fnaf was new and the lore wasn't yet a total mess but something intriguing and worth picking apart and analyzing and theorizing about, PLAY!!!! THIS!!! GAME!!!!! this game is very well deserving of the term "love letter to the genre" and i honestly couldn't describe it any better than that. please play oneway.exe

The art, lorebuilding, and overall setting of the game are wildly well made and thought-out. The story is multi-layered where there's a general plotline but also individual storylines for each character, specifically the ones with chapters dedicated to them. The art takes dozens of different styles and does greatly to freshen up every component of the game to be new and interesting. My one difficulty is occasionally getting stuck on some parts of the game due to the directions not being much clear (though after all, it IS a puzzle game), but there is a good tutorial in the community tab of the game that helped me whenever I was too stumped. The writing takes many different forms as well; whereas the messages between characters feel very real, as well as the writers dishing out more than just conversations between characters and giving highly interesting tales in the forms of letters, articles, etc. TDLR: An immensely charming game in storytelling, art, and puzzles. Might be stuck on a puzzle but theres tutorials if need be. Gameplay constantly takes a new turn which is refreshing. Characters are immensely captivating.

i love this game and i can,t wait for more

this is so so so much more than i expected ???!!?? everything about this is amazing, the way it hooks you right from the beggining, all the different characters and all the ways you have to explore their world and minds !! SUCH an underappreciated game that deserves way way way more recognition you can see the love the devs have for their game and their community <3333

pretty kewl

TLDR: Very difficult puzzles, somewhat anticlimactic end. Still very cool and would recomend Spoiler free review: The game has three different styles of gameplay across seven (and a secret eighth) levels. For each level, the first part of the gameplay you are walking through a 3d landscape of a hotel, and will be chased by an entity. At the end of this, the you will select a character's room, and solve puzzles in a 3d room. Finally you will be transported back to a desktop simulator where you will be solving character-related malware puzzles. As you go through the different puzzles, you will collect pieces of the overall story which only become clear after playing multiple rooms. We found the puzzles suuuuper hard, we frequently got stuck. There is a hints guide in the discussions on steam which provided enough hints to get us unstuck on several parts. It tool a lot of work, and the feeling of getting though a puzzle is super satisfying. Some rooms i found creepier than other rooms. In the end, because you kind of piece together the story as you complete the rooms, I found the ending anticlimactic because it didn't share any information that hadn't already been shared, I found myself wanting there to be more. With that said, the game was still cool and a lot of love went into it, so I really do recommend it. You will not like this game if you dislike early internet LOLspeak dialogue, puzzles that stump you, some jumpscares/chase scenes, themes of violence on women, less linear gameplay, puzzles without obvious objectivies, or want to see a lot of gore. You WILL like this game if you enjoy piecing together information yourself, dont mind having to read through chats, files, and documents for information to solve puzzles, like a mix of kinds of gameplays, and like hidden lore.
