Steve’s Selections

One of You

In a remote house, several people wake up with no recollection of who they are or how they got there. With the doors locked and the windows barred, there seems to be no way to escape their confinement. As they investigate the house further, the mystery deepens. Strange canisters are scattered around the building, and a set of rules on punishment indicates there may be more to their captivity. Worse, there is evidence that one of them may not be all they seem. With no memories to aid them, can any of them tell who to trust?

One of You, ZeroDigitz presents a largely psychological horror game. The graphics are presented in a bird’s-eye role-playing game style. Most of the action takes place within the dimly-lit confines of the house. There is also a brief outdoors scene in the snowy grounds surrounding the house, and an interactive flashback to a jollier event when one of the characters starts recalling his past. Despite the retro style, the artwork is fairly detailed, with each person having a distinct look. Close-ups of all the characters appear during conversation. There is a wealth of sound effects, ranging from the simple sound of footsteps on wood to terrified screaming. A variety of atonal and echoing pieces of music also play throughout, adding to the disturbing atmosphere.
