oneway.exe: Module 1.0

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.

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 game is just a big (huge) cryptic ARG. It has its public but, sadly, that's not me. Each puzzle became tedious and boring, not intriguing.

i love this game <3

weird game, some stuff went over my head but its got a vibe i eff with

really phenomenal story-telling, i got stuck on the first part but someone on the discussions tab helped me out! if you happen to get stuck playing this and you really like horror/puzzles/ARGs i would recommend making use of the DISCUSSIONS and GUIDES tab on steam for the game! searching keywords around where you're stuck will do wonders for you. for the dev's first game i'm really impressed, even if it can get a little buggy and what not! UPDATE: GAME IS VIRTUALLY BUG FREE! SOME OF THE PUZZLES HAVE GOTTEN EASIER! PLEASE PLAY THIS GAAAAAAAME!

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.
