One Chance

About this game

One Chance is an emotional, narrative-driven Flash game developed by Simon Meek, and it gained popularity for its unique premise and storytelling approach. The game revolves around choice and consequence, and it challenges players with tough decisions that impact the fate of the world, offering no second chances. Gameplay Mechanics: Narrative and Choices: The primary focus of One Chance is on the narrative and the choices the player makes. The game is story-driven, with various dialogues and scenarios that present the player with hard decisions. Players must make choices that affect both their personal relationships and the fate of the world. The game is divided into a series of days, each representing the passage of time as the world descends into chaos. Each day presents new events, and players must make decisions that can lead to different outcomes. The narrative explores themes of guilt, regret, and redemption as the protagonist is confronted with the consequences of his actions. The game doesnt allow the player to change their decisions or go back, so each choice is impactful and irreversible. Limited Time: The game takes place over six in-game days, and each day represents a limited period during which you must make decisions. As the days progress, the consequences of the players choices become more evident, and the world moves closer to its inevitable downfall. Players are essentially playing out the last days of humanity, and there is a constant sense of urgency as you navigate the emotional and ethical choices the character faces. Character Relationships: One of the major components of the game is the personal relationships the scientist has with other characters, including his family, colleagues, and friends. Your interactions with these characters affect how the story progresses and influence the emotional impact of the game. For example, you might be asked to decide whether to spend time with your wife and child, work in the lab, or try to find a solution to the problem. Each of these decisions changes the course of the game. Moral Dilemmas: The game is full of tough, emotional dilemmas. For example, you’ll need to decide whether to try and save the world, or accept that there’s no way out and focus on your loved ones. There are no "right" answers—only personal choices that impact the story and the ending. The game gives you a sense of weight with each decision, as it forces you to think about the consequences of your actions, without the ability to undo them. Endings: One Chance has multiple endings based on the player’s decisions throughout the game. Since you only get one chance to play, your first run is your definitive experience. The choices you make during the game determine which of these endings you’ll experience. The endings are poignant and deeply emotional, leaving players to reflect on the moral complexity of their decisions. The game can end in multiple ways, including: Saving humanity at the cost of personal loss. Sacrificing the protagonist’s family to save the world. Or, in some cases, the world may simply descend into irreversible chaos without any solution, emphasizing the theme of "no second chances."
