This article has a talk page!This page details pre-release information and/or media for OneShot (2014).
OneShot began as a small and bold 1 month project by Eliza Velasquez and Nightmargin made to compete in an RPG Maker games contest. Was updated to give more shots after the bad ending in 1.03. Due to its success remake/full version was eventually made.
Miscellaneous Concept Art/Multimedia#
Teaser#
Potentially the first sighting of the protagonist. Whether or no they had a name at this point is unknown. The fact that the hands are exposed is worth noting. Also there's no human ears, no disconnected floating parts at the ends of the scarf and the front of the coat is split in half and has no rectangles.

The Main Areas Concept Art#
The concept art for all of the main areas of OneShot, except for Spire/Tower (definitely not foreshadowing).
The simplified chinese text on the Refuge picture: "你是谁？" means "Who are you?", "猫眼" means "Cat's Eye/Cat-eyes", "只有一次机会" means "Only one chance/Only one opportunity/Only one shot".

Pixel art of the protagonist sitting beside a shrimp pond. There are some floating bits at the ends of the scarf now.
The animated version was converted from .webp into .gif so the image quality is probably better in the source.

Refuge Catwalks Concept Art and WIP "On Little Cat Feet"#
Work In Progress "On Little Cat Feet" and its cover art, pixel art of refuge catwalks. The cover art was released earlier than the song and the image quality is better in the original post so the image was taken from there.
