One Night Only Windows, Mac game

When comedian Nelson Smith’s sister stays with him during her divorce, he decides he doesn’t need any more positive karma points for the rest of the year. Thus, when he wakes up beside his sociopath ex-girlfriend, gets a call asking for bail money from his manager, and learns that his father is missing in Indonesia, his first thought is what to get for breakfast and whether today is a shorts day.

One Night Only is part rogue-like, part adventure game, with randomly generated levels and events coupled with bizarre characters and witty dialogue. Journey through the circuitous turn of events that take Nelson from Fremantle, Western Australia, to the outback, then to deepest, darkest Java in search of his father, his $5000 in bail money and, ultimately, some good material for his stand up routine.

When the game starts, you pick one of 8 episodes, each with a unique story that changes each time you play it.

1. The game generates a unique cityscape in which you can have fun interacting with people/shops/objects, nursing your chronic coffee addiction, and avoiding anything resembling your parents, elderly relatives or crazy ex-girlfriends.Everything you do affects not only the story, but what jokes you will be able to craft later on.

2. Once you've collected enough comedic material, you'll head back to your trendy loft apartment to craft your act. The different people/shops/locations you interacted with will feed off each other to generate what jokes you can choose to craft and place in your stand-up comedy routine.

3. The big night! Your stand-up comedy performance is like a bossfight in some other non-funny game. Like any stand up comic knows, timing is everything, so you have to know what to say and when if you're going to make people's heads explode with laughter and get those 5-star reviews. Additionally, every audience has its different tastes, and will find some jokes more entertaining than others.

Each play session feels like an episode of a sitcom like Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, or Lead Balloon, lasting 20 minutes and with recurring characters and themes that develop Nelson as a character and comedian.

• A unique, realistic setting populated with many relatable characters you can grow to hate (just like IRL!)
• Both Story Mode and Arcade Mode! Arcade mode is where you will experience random maps and episodes, while Story Mode features a longer, more structured narrative. (just like IRL!)
• A bangin' soudtrack by bands from Perth, Western Australia.
• Tonnes of jokes that you can splice together into thousands of possible stand up routines.
• Photo-realistic art style that looks IDENTICAL to actual pixel art.
