after finally getting throught he horrid intro and getting stuck on the very next puzzle, I understand the reason this game is not good. the developers are unable to understand how their game looks from the player's pov. if you are given hints they are abysmal moonlogic, I even looked up the answer to a puzzle and it was wrong in my game when it was correct in there's so the hints remain the same but the puzzle's answers are different. I have no idea how this game is rated so highly, it is genuinely abysmal. an absolute shame as the atmosphere is pretty good and I wanted to like this game a lot
ya.. i cant get passed the first level. too laggy and no idea what to do.
[h1] Review - ONEWAY.EXE: Module 1.0 [/h1] [h3] Lost media, misterio y paranoia en formato digital [/h3] [i] [url=https://ordenpixel.com/oneway-exe-module-1-0-analisis/] Análisis completo en 'La Orden del Pixel' [/url] [/i] Bajo la apariencia de un juego abandonado, [b] oneway.exe: Module 1.0 [/b] construye una experiencia de horror digital que invita a hurgar donde no deberíamos. Nos pone frente a UNTITLED.exe, un proyecto inconcluso y corroído por glitches, archivos corruptos y advertencias implícitas, donde investigamos qué ocurrió con sus desarrolladores mientras el propio software parece observarnos… y romper la cuarta pared cuando menos lo esperamos. La propuesta de [b] Disordered Media [/b] bebe directamente de la cultura de internet de la década pasada: creepypastas, foros olvidados, juegos de terror amateur y ese encanto incómodo del “software maldito”. Jugablemente arranca con persecuciones y momentos de tensión directa, pero pronto vira hacia la investigación, los puzzles y la toma de decisiones, apoyándose en minijuegos, sobresaltos y recursos que buscan hostigar al jugador desde lo visual y lo narrativo. El resultado es una experiencia irregular en ritmo, pero con momentos genuinamente inquietantes. Visualmente combina entornos 3D, ilustraciones 2D, estética cartoon y animaciones frame by frame, evocando ese espíritu transmedia donde lo digital se siente contaminado. Foros abandonados, interfaces incómodas, pop-ups y mascottes de escritorio construyen un entorno tan nostálgico como perturbador. La paleta dominada por colores saturados, negro y destellos violentos de rojo refuerza la sensación constante de corrupción. No todo funciona igual de bien: algunos recursos que buscan incomodar terminan entorpeciendo la investigación, y la narrativa a veces queda relegada frente al impacto inmediato. Además, el juego está completamente en inglés y contiene mucho texto, lo que puede frenar a quienes no dominen el idioma. Aun así, su sistema de múltiples rutas y finales le da una rejugabilidad interesante, reforzando la idea de archivo incompleto y verdad fragmentada. [b] oneway.exe: Module 1.0 [/b] es un título que apuesta más por el concepto, la atmósfera y el imaginario digital que por la solidez mecánica. No es para todos, pero para quienes disfrutan del horror ligado a internet, a lo fragmentado y a esa sensación incómoda de abrir algo que nunca debió ejecutarse, es una experiencia tan curiosa como perturbadora. [h3] + Lo Bueno: [/h3] [list] [*] Atmósfera de horror digital muy lograda [*] Estética que homenajea creepypastas y cultura web antigua [*] Múltiples rutas y finales que invitan a rejugar [*] Buen uso del concepto de “software maldito” [/list] [h3] - Lo Malo: [/h3] [list] [*] Ritmo irregular y mecánicas a veces poco intuitivas [*] Recursos visuales que pueden interferir con la investigación [*] Mucho texto y únicamente en inglés [/list] [h3] * Recomendado si te gustó: [/h3] [list] [*] IMSCARED [*] Paratopic [*] Los creepypastas de la década pasada [/list] [i] ~ Esta reseña es una síntesis de la nota original ~ [/i]
pretentious garbage drip fed to you through insanely confusing gameplay. a convoluted mess even compared to contemporary ARG puzzle games. wait for a massive sale. even with all the patches/tweaks, this is not a project worth playing or buying.
what the hell
I am obsessed with this game. I played the demo on my own and I recently played the module 01 with my sister. The story is incredibly captivating and there's so so much lore to dig through. I love the commentary this game has on internet culture and I'm in love the the strange relationship the devs all had with each other. I want to know more. My sister and I were theorizing the entire playthrough and there were many moments where we just sat slack jawed in front of the screen in shock. This game is amazing. One slight complaint I have is the puzzles. At some points during the game, we were just so incredibly frustrated at the puzzles that it didn't feel fun anymore. We had to look up hints for most of them and even then we were banging our heads against a wall. To be fair, some things we didn't get because we missed or forgot a detail, but a lot of the puzzles aren't intuitive or are even counter intuitive. We had a lot more fun with the room puzzles (mostly because I had already done them in the demo and I could help my sister through them). I think having hard puzzles is completely fine as long as the players reaction at the end is "YES I DID IT!" and not "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ finally". Overall though, I would love to see more from the devs. I love the game, EE, CT, and SS, and I love the world it takes place in. It's insane to me that more people haven't played this and that I can't find many playthroughs online. This game deserves to be at the top of the charts.
This game had a very rocky release which wasn't an ideal circumstance for any small indie game of its type, but the sheer talent and effort on display is actually very impressive for a project of its scope. A game that explores themes very unique to a generation who grew up on the internet, written and created by people who know the material by heart, it creates an extremely unique experience that I haven't really seen anywhere else. As a game, puzzles can be kind of insanely cryptic and require some moonlogic thinking, but considering it's the game's main content, its perfectly reasonable, and some of the puzzles make me feel like my brain is glowing with power. The story is something I feel anyone who's spent any significant amount of time on the internet getting stuck into the subcultures should experience, with a lot of callbacks and references to fads, topics and jokes from years past, as well as a window into what the internet itself can represent for many people and serves as a better warning to anyone who is trying to turn their own life into the internet.
I have really liked oneway.exe, the environments are aesthetically pleasing for me and bring me back to older games, every room and screen feels like it has its own personality, the puzzles hit a nice balance where they make me stop and think but don’t feel cheap, so when something finally clicks it’s actually satisfying instead of frustrating, and the way the story slowly unfolds around those moments keeps it interesting the whole way through. The audio does a great job setting the mood without getting in the way, and overall, as someone who likes puzzle games, this has been a really solid horror spin on that and a well put together experience all around.
I genuinely can not overstate how much I love this game. This game perfectly encapsulates what it was like to grow up in the 2010s internet and I love that. There is so much about this game I love and so much of it I can't explain because it would spoil a lot of the game. I can heavily relate to the main characters, growing up on the internet, having internet friends that you're extremely close to. Although I'm not entirely sure about the message this game is trying to tell you about online friends.
Ive loved this game for a long time, I remember watching the demo playthrough and some bits of the full game acouple years ago. I ended up forgetting about it and randomly remembered it, now that I have actually played it. I still really love it, the characters and story and art are really good and i'm honestly surprised to see the ARG is still ongoing? or atleast the discord is still very active. That being said, it's not a perfect game and I have experienced afew bugs/ weird gameplay but I like it. It kind of gives the game some charm, nothing can be perfect afterall and i'm too determined to stop playing just because of afew glitches when im this invested. I loved it as a demo and I still love it now 8.9/10
