Niko is absolutely the best boy.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Or girl. Or neither. The gender of the child protagonist is undetermined, like in Undertale. My first instinct was that they are female, though – the “voice” is high-pitched and the closest name my language has to “Niko”, as well as the word for “cat”, are feminine.

Hey now, there are clearly no cats in Oneshot! Just pancake lovers that may or may not resemble a cat.

At least one of us hasn't played the game.

And Niko is officially a "cat person".

Damn there are literally cats?

The italics meant to illustrate some sarcasm, its meant to play off Niko's protests that they are not a cat. Given it comes up multiple times in the game, it seems like an obvious joke to make.

I know, I just wanted to take a jab. I’m a fan of the game but never played it.

I never said Niko was a cat, though.

Also, there are bird people and (presumably 🐧) birds.

You got me pretty good ;P

Since you've apparently played the game, can you tell me if there are birds in the OneShot universe? Or do we just not know?

Is the non-plush penguin in-universe?

[–] creditCrazy@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Same. Like most depictions of cat people are Japanese cat girls. And because the name is obviously inspired by the Japanese word Neko that on occasion is mispronounced Niko. On top of that Niko has overly long sleeves which is considered feminine in Japan. I came to the conclusion that Niko is female because she's Japan inspired and feminine at that.

You're literally on the same device, dude

Well, we are and this is what I see in Voyager

I got some boxes with "x"s in them. Sad.

This looks like shit on Linux

If you don't know, this is from a game called One shot. It's one of my favorite games and you should play it too.

It's currently only $5 on Steam

E: looks like the Steam sale is now over, so it's back to $10 USD, but still worth it imo

[–] Wes_Dev@lemmy.ml 5 points 11 months ago

Still very much worth it, even full price. I haven't played it for years, and I still think about it. It's kind of like Outer Wilds in that respect. Small, but very rich experience. I think there's a DLC out too.

looks like I posted it right before the steam sale ended

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Thank you

I'll say goodbye soon

Though it's the end of the world

Don't blame yourself

And if it's true

I will surround you

And bring life to this world

That's our own

Do you still want to try?

my favorite thing about this image is that everything is curved to match the CRT monitor except the dialog box
