One Chance, a 10 minute game that will make you weep (yes, I know I'm late) - Games

Many of you have heard of this game or have played it, as I first found out about it on Facepunch, but a few minutes ago my friend sent me it on Facebook(having just discovered the game) and I replayed it. So I am led to believe that anybody who hasn't played it here, needs to. The basic synopsis is, you play a doctor named John. You have discovered the cure for cancer, and possibly a bevy of other diseases...however, things go awry and the reengineered virus is going to kill [B]all[/B] life on Earth. You have six days before all life on Earth is dead. How will you spend them? The game is ridiculously simple, all you do is use the arrow keys to move back and forth and space to interact with something. What really makes it, is the setting, the plot and the mood. The choices presented, dialogue, hell, even the basic background (just basic references, particularly via the newspaper you get at the start of the first few days) is all just as simple, but it's heart wrenching and effective at making you really think of what to do. The music, one track, sets the tone for the entire thing, and it adds to the disturbing nature of watching the world slowly decay as the days go on. It's easy to describe the game, but you have to play it to understand just how it works. So go do that. The link is below.

Okay, that's not entirely true, you can restart, but it involves clearing cookies. And we're all way too lazy to do such a simple thing.

I was supposed to cry? Well, too late now. One chance.

All you have to do is delete your recent cookies and you can play over again. I'm very glad I figured this out because otherwise I'd be stuck with the shitty ending.

Best ending is [sp]incest ending[/sp]

It was way too tedious for my taste..

Are you supposed to be stuck on a black screen with the white word 'PLAY' on it? Or what. [editline]17th July 2011[/editline] Oh what the fuck i hit the damn button like 20 times.

If you get the ending where you and your daughter live and refresh webpage, all plants are green again.

This is fun, don't know why I haven't played it yet.

I'm going to say why this game is crap though: It lacks, well, ummm, how can I put it? It lacks [I]replay value[/I]

I got the ending when he sat down and died. I panicked so hard cause I wanted to restart. Good thing you can clear cookies. Whew.

How do you save them?

i failed :suicide:

All you have to do is [sp]Go to work EVERY CHANCE YOU GET[/sp]

Everyone died then I died. Procrastination doesn't get you anywhere kids. :downs:

should try this badass game: [url]http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/550714[/url]

Damn guy on the roof! [editline]17th July 2011[/editline] Got wrong ending because of him.

The game is totally unresponsive for me. I'm in my room, and the arrow keys don't do anything.

tried to clear my cookies but didn't work

work errday fuck family that's what I took away from this.

So uh I [sp]found the cure, then he proceeded to sit in the park with his daughter. Was I too late because I missed one day of work? Or is he just a supreme asshole and decided not to try and find survivors?[/sp] [editline]17th July 2011[/editline] Yeah and moral of the story: Fuck family fuck personal things, always act for the greater good of mankind.

[QUOTE=Mingebox;31169652]Reload the game.[/QUOTE] All I see is an empty bench now ([sp]it didn't work?[/sp]).

[QUOTE=acds;31169663]All I see is an empty bench now ([sp]it didn't work?[/sp]).[/QUOTE] [sp]nah you and your daughter are off busy repopulating the earth[/sp] [sp]you sick fuck[/sp]

I got the ending where [sp]the dad and his daughter survive and go to the park, I at least got a happy ending (I hope it is considered a happy ending since you two are the only ones left.)[/sp] Amazing game.

Well that was boring

[QUOTE=acds;31169663]All I see is an empty bench now ([sp]it didn't work?[/sp]).[/QUOTE] [sp]The trees are green, imply the cure spread or something like that.[/sp]

I played it once, and didn't receive the very best ending. However, the point with the game is only to play it once, so I won't have another go.

Enter thread. Scroll past content. Rate late. Leave. [editline]17th July 2011[/editline] Oh wait, this isn't that platformer one. My bad.
