[hr]So I'd like some people to try this game out. It shouldn't take long to complete and doesn't really have any difficulty. Just play through it and depending on what choices you make, see what happens. Post what happened in your playthrough and please spoiler tag it.
You have one chance.

I played this a long time ago. I can't remember exactly what happened, but...

I got the ending where you and your daughter sit in the park, waiting for your death, which is arguably the "best" ending because you get to spend your last moments with your daughter, even with all other life gone.

My coworkers all killed themselves (One by jumping off the roof), and then my wife slit her wrist in the tub. I went to work every day to try and find a cure (And yes, I knew that that wasn't really an option), carrying my daughter there every day after my wife killed herself. I did not show my daughter my dead wife. I died at work, alone.

Meh, didn't really appeal to me. I like making informed decisions.

*EDIT* NINJA'D, curse my indecisiveness..same thing in my playthrough as above poster*

I was thinking of trying to create a cure, but just ended up dying in the lab. My daughter should have been there as well, since "I took her with me". Couldn't really chose not to so..Had to restart once, didn't know what buttons worked, accidentally skipped work first time there.

To put a positive spin on it, you could say I spent every time I could with my daughter, while also trying to create a cure.


I think this is a game that is suppose to be "deep" but just tries to shock you from time to time. It IS what you read into it.

Damn, I really enjoyed this.

Thanks for posting OP, you made my day a little sadder. I really can't handle "end of the world" scenarios. Like, when people ask me "you have 12 hours left, what do you do?" I just start to feel really shitty.

Six Days Left: I wake up, get dressed, and head on down to work... The daughter ask why she has to go to school while my wife wishes me well or something... After reading the newspaper headline, I stay in my car for a while before finally parking into the company parking lot... My co-workers congratulate me on a job well done, even to the point that some ask me ditch work just for today... I decline and head back into doing more test... I also remember someone doing construction on some of the upper floors, but it didn't concern me at the time...

Five Days Left: My wife, who's was taking a bath at the time, tells me the phone's been ringing all day, but I choose to not pick it up at the time... I read the newspaper headline, which states that things have turned for the worse... I drive to work only to be reminded that things have become worse in a matter of 24 hours... Before heading to my area to run some further test since the door seemed to be locked, I head up to the roof of the building where my friend and fellow colleague commit suicide before my very eyes... Later, I was on the news alongside the President and another one of my colleagues pertaining to the terrible news about the virus that is rapidly killing us all...

Four Days Left: My daughter now asked my why she didn't have to go to school today... My wife, however, wondered why I still had to go to work today... I choose to treat their questions like rhetorical questions and decided to read the newspaper headline as well as drive on to work... I noticed the protesters on the streets, but choose not to dwell on that fact too much... Before I went to my area to run even more test on finding some way on stopping this virus from spreading much further, I went to the roof only to find my boss telling me that he wasn't planning to jump or anything drastic like that... The sigh of relieve I had didn't last long though, as the tests kept coming up more negative the more I try to focus on the cause of the virus itself...

Three Days Left: I wake up on an empty bed, my wife nowhere to be found in our bedroom... My daughter was still asleep in her bed at the time... I drive on down to work, where barely anyone was present on the streets nor at work... One of the co-workers was wondering where everyone was while another asked if I could hang out with her instead of being here at the time... I ignored them both and head on back to do more test, despite having the nagging feeling that it was all for naught... As I came home from work, I noticed blood coming out of the bathroom... As if I didn't already come to a similar conclusion, I opened the door out of curiosity only to find my wife death in the bathtub... I broke down on the floor that night...

Two Days Left: My daughter asked me where her mother went... I didn't want to answer that as I picked her up and placed her on my back... We heading to the car, passing by the blood-soaked carpet near the bathroom where my wife died in... As I drove, I decided that going to work would be pointless so I took a detour to the park instead... With my daughter still piggy-backed on my back, we walked across the perk... and never stopped once... We didn't look back... We never turned back... If this was our "one chance", we spent it walking in just one direction...

Finally, everything went white...

...and now I want a link to the song used throughout this game... (That is all...)

I remember my old ending, at least I think I do. I'm much to lazy to play it again.
I believe I died on a park bench next to my daughter. I think it may have been snowing too. I remember crying the first time. I worked through most of it, but when I knew I would fail, I spent the rest of the time with my daughter. It was worth it.

I think the effect the game has on people changes with the endings. I got a really fucking bittersweet moment compared to Caramel, who just had a depressing ending.

Huh. I know I played this before, though I don't remember what ending I got, yet it'll let me play again. Same machine, same browser profile, same everything.

Weird.

Honestly, the only thing that stuck with me was that the "once chance" thing was an interesting gimmick, stronger than anything I experienced. It was little more, though. Maybe I'll play it again, but that feels like cheating.

It works by adding a cookie to your browser, so chances are that cookie expired/was deleted at some point.

I've played it before as well. First time I got the same ending as Someone Depressing [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.855888-One-Chance#21198575], second time AccursedTheory [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.855888-One-Chance#21198684].

Meh, I didn't find the game to be that emotional but again I did get annoyed but the lack of control keys display. (It's just the arrows keys and space bar right?)

Took my daughter to the park the day after my wife killed herself, and was in a a white screen where I could walk around but never interact with anything and would walk off screen but not change scenes or anything. I'm still not entirely sure why the game immediately fades to black instead of giving me the option to bury my wife or something, or at the very least clean up the blood.

I also laughed quite a bit at the game, and felt that the concept of the cancer killing gas KILLS EVERYTHING wouldn't really get past the FDA, or any form of testing once that was discovered even.

Oh I remember playing this game.
I missed clicked to skip out on work when I should have stayed. I ended up getting the worst ending because of it.
