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 discovered oneway.exe during the module and this game is fantastic and such a unique experience. The amount of references to periods of internet history and a clear love for the horror genre. The puzzles are unique and fun and while they can be difficult at times there is always a very fun payoff for figuring them out. The characters are where oneway truly shines for me, every single character in oneway has had some form of emotional impact on me. Of course some have had bigger impacts than others, but the games characters truly feel like a lot of people will find enjoyment from them. The art and music for oneway are also phenomenal, the visual identity of each character and the generally aesthetics of the game are incredible to see and the music is amazing and I love listening to the soundtrack. The voice actors also really help bring the game alive. In general I highly highly recommend oneway.exe to anyone, but especially if you are a fan of horror.

i really really want to like this game but i just cant. The intro was pretty neat but then the first "story" i do is broken to the point i look up the answer and it still wont work. thought this was going to have more to do with the actual computer home portion as well. Just cant get into it and I'm very surprised because I've played some really bad games and sat through them.

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

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 ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GAME, I HAVE BEEN ON A GRIND OF THIS GAME FOR A WHILE NOW AT EVERY CHANCE I GET. ANYONE THAT READS THIS: YES YOU SHOULD PURCHASE AND PLAY THIS GAME RIGHT NOW :3

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!

[h3]Too cryptic and obscure to remain meaningful and enjoyable[/h3] From the very beginning, you face a chasing scene in a mundane maze and have zero idea where to run, and every time you fail, you start the sequence from the start. A bunch of tries later (with a bit of wasted time), the game finally opens up. Huge amounts of texts, a lot of characters, their personal history, relationships, and BUGS, everything is cryptic to a point of becoming just a mess. And this mess is not that kind of thing you would want to sort out. This whole non-linear unexplained ton of lore dumps just chokes you to the sense of despair that even that scary girl from the start sequence would be jelaous. Game fails at tutorial, game fails at intro, and fails to explain to me why do I even care about solving these puzzles. I did solve some parts of some stories - by reading a lot of dull emails, looking for some precious information to enter to the terminal, but that was not even fun! I have read a lot of reviews saying that this game is great. I tried, but failed to enjoy it. And forgive me, I'd rather not spend my time figuring out how to approach this game.

Really enjoyed the story of the game and all the fun little scares it provided! Very haunting and sometimes disturbing! The difficulty can be a bit cruel at times, you really gotta keep your eyes open and check everything frequently, especially the chat logs! I hope we get a Module 2.0 in the future!

i love this game <3
