    A nicely put-together game with a slightly mixed message. [Issue#183, p.75]

    One Night Stand feels more like a think piece than a proper game. It’s strongest on the first playthrough and slowly loses its allure with each subsequent one. Perhaps the most poignant experiences to be had with this game would be playing once or twice and then having conversations with friends about how you felt and what different choices led to what ending.

    The distinctive art style is attractive and the use of rotoscoping makes the girl's expressions and gestures surprisingly realistic, which gives interactions with her a human touch, but can be a little jarring when you end up offending her with your choices.

    With 12 possible endings, One Night Stand is much like an animated Choose-Your-Own-Adventure story. Gameplay mostly consists of selecting choices from branching dialogue trees and scavenging the room for clues whilst the girl is away. Despite its simplicity, the game had me coming back for multiple playthroughs until I had investigated every item and unlocked every ending.

    The girl herself is an interesting and well written character, and I found myself wanting to learn more about her. While the game never completely satisfied my curiosity, the items strewn about the room and the information the girl offered in her conversations with the player character helped me imagine what kind of person she might be.

    Because much of the dialogue remains the same regardless of your choices, after playing the game through a few times, it can become tedious clicking through the same conversations over and over again, although the fast forward feature mitigates this problem.

    It's interesting to see the diverse ways in which the situation can play out, and unlocking all the endings will reveal a secret message that may change the way you see the characters. However, some mysteries remain unsolved, and if you're looking for a tidy resolution, this game isn't going to give it to you.

    Short, sweet, surprisingly heartwarming, and pretty funny at times, One Night Stand is much more than just its unique premise. While not without its flaws, it's definitely worth checking out.

    One Night Stand
    Waking up with regret
    One Night Stand is an interactive adventure game where you play as a guy that wakes up next to a girl with no idea what just happened last night…
    Considering yall are both naked you can take a pretty good guess though.
    A playthrough takes about 20 minutes, but there are 12 different endings to discover..
    And of course you get different endings based on the choices you make as you try and uncover who this girl is, how did you meet, you did you end up in her bed…
    Pretty straight forward and basic,
    Are you going to search through her wallet? Or find clues another way?
    Thing is though this girl you wake up to just seems a bit odd and crazy,
    She gets angry at honesty..
    The oddest things will make her feel weird or set her off….
    And therfor I really didn’t care to get to know her or continue playing to find an ending where I could possibly end up with her..
    My first playthrough I was just honest.. didn’t snoop… and she got #triggered that I didn’t remember anything from last night.
    Sorry girl.
    But her intense reaction to honesty kinda just made me be like, well I don’t wanna get to know you anyway if this is how you react to things that hurt your precious ego.
    I do like though that there are things you do that can come back to haunt you later, so every choice really matters here, and you are able to save and load saves to make your ending hunt more enjoyable..
    youre not forced to play through the entire game over and over for different endings…
    But again, I just feel like the main character here isn’t likable enough for anyone other than trophy hunter to really care.
    I give One Night Stand
    a 6/10

After the first few play-throughs the dialogue became stale and I kept it on fast-forward in order to complete. I ended up looking up the endings and am glad to have saved my time. Expand
