Are you running it in EasyRPG? If so then you cant play OneShot with it.

I'm really enjoying this game with its unique atmosphere. Good work!
The original game has so much charm. Unfortunately, the ending isn't as impactful, as it just sorta ends with no real buildup.

OneShot was made in RPG Maker 2000 not 2003
and it resembled undertale in a way in 2015

Both of those statements are wrong.

Hi- I'm having an issue where the X button isn't responding in the game.


Pretty sure that Esc is menu button, try it?
Hi- I'm having an issue where the X button isn't responding in the game. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the game, but it still isn't working.

It won't let me open the menu or delete things in the typing sections, which obviously makes the game impossible to play.

I'd really appreciate it if anyone knows how to fix this- Oneshot is one of my favourite games and I kind of need to get it working again because I'm writing about it for my university pre arrival task.
This is an awesome game! I'm shocked that RPG maker games are still so obscure, even after all of these amazing games! I suggest playing this game blind as it will be the best experience, and I love the atmosphere! We need more games like this!

PS. Niko is adorable.

Alright, first things first, remove all plugged in controllers. Sometimes they will mess with RPG Maker games, since they can be used to play them, so if a controller is left plugged in and a button is pressed down it can lead to the game reading that as you pressing that button.

If you press F1 you should get an option menu pop up that allows you to change your button inputs. Use that to assign keys for movement and interaction. By default it's usually confirm = enter/z/space and cancel = ESC, numpad 0, x. Hopefully that might help a bit.

I don't own any controllers that works with my computer. Also, You can't change what each of the buttons do. You might be thinking of the steam version on that one...

I just opened the game & everything seems to be fine now. I guess I just needed to shut off my computer or something...

I don't know if this forum or whatever gets updated anymore, but I'm having some issues running this game. I've read through just about every other comment & the only person who seems to be having a similar issue to the one I'm having is GunnerTheThing.

As soon as the game allows you to move around, the character is constantly moving left without me touching any of the keys. The up and down arrow keys work, but as soon as I stop touching them, the character starts to continuously move left again. The right key doesn't do anything.
Edit:
Well, it seems to be working now that I've left the game open for a few minutes now.

After I launched the game a 2nd time, I couldn't seem to move the cursor up or down or click the enter button to start the game. After trying to click many other keys, The Alt button seemed to start the game (& apparently, so does reactivating the window after you've minimized it or by clicking on it while it's out of focus). While having my second discussion with Niko, I couldn't choose what to say since there were no keys to highlight any other choices. So I kept pressing Alt & minimizing the window. Once the conversation was over, Niko seemed to move on his own. He would move down, left, & down again until he hit a boundary in the map. While I was pressing literally every single key on my keyboard, I found that pressing any of the bottom keys (the keys z through/), It opened up the menu and also closed out of it. Also, Hitting F12 apparently restarted the entire game. I have just accidentally killed Niko without meaning to do so.

I had left the game opened the whole time while typing this paragraph & so far the issue hasn't fixed itself. If anyone knows how to fix this issue, please let me know. I have played the steam version of this game & I really want to play this version as well.

EDIT: I just opened the game & everything seems to be fine now. I guess I just needed to shut off my computer. At least I can play it again...
