Go into this game completely blind. I wont speak on any spoiler-worthy content in this review, so you are safe to proceed here.

Writing:
I suck at analyzing writing in my opinion. I'm not very good at it, but I do know what I feel.
I feel that this game has phenomenal writing. All the characters are so delightful and lovable, with their own flaws and backstories that you can look into and discover. The adventure showcased here can have its share of highs and lows, but thankfully it balances itself out by having bits of comedy and cuteness scattered among the lands.
The world itself is vivid and imaginative, and the very base concept of your adventure feels almost surreal, but keeps itself grounded through the use of relatable characters.
The main character is the most adorable person I've ever seen and I will protect them with my life.
I cried my eyes out multiple times playing this game. It's an incredibly emotional experience.

Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is very good too and perfectly accentuates the situations you're in. It's timed very well with cutscenes and gameplay.

Gameplay:
OneShot is a puzzle game, but the puzzles are usually quite simple, which works to its benefit. The real highlight of this game is the story, and keeping the focus on that was a good decision IMO.
Niko can only move in the four cardinal directions. Just a classic RPGmaker moveset.
I can't talk any more about the positives, as that moves into spoiler territory. This is a game you HAVE to play.

Cons:
-It's a little bit hard to appreciate much when you play it in a tiny window, which is recommended by the devs. I wish it was a bit bigger but I suppose they had to make compromises.
-Travelling across screens can be jarring as you don't see what's actually on the other side, you just see some more ground or whatever. It's really weird and stupid.
-I sometimes had difficulty understanding the role of certain characters in the story. I recommend you play this over the course of 2-3 days, and not too spaced out like I did. 4 hours one day, and then like a week later I finished it with my current time of 6.5 hours.
