Some of these choices are from what the woman asks you directly – stuff like “What was the name of the bar we went to last night?”. The gameplay basically consists of making decisions and choices from a selection put in front of you. I have to say though, I personally like the funnier, more humorous ones that involve the mixing up of underwear, or how the order of coffee can make you sound like a trendy idiot. It’s well crafted and the possibilities involved in the many different endings are very deep. If you so wish, you can finish the game in one way by just finding your clothes and making a run for the door, yet in another run through you may prefer to gently get to know the stranger and form the start of a relationship that could see a future as friends, or even something else. The stilted conversations, the gentle probing and the utter fear that the situation could go into meltdown at the wrong turn of phrase or a bad look. If anyone has ever had a one night stand it really does capture the embarrassment and awkwardness of the whole situation. The story and dialogue is the main element of this lovely little narrative drama.
From that point, you make a number of choices that will determine many different consequences, leading you through the multiple endings of this narrative-led game. You play as a man who wakes up hungover in bed, and it isn’t long before he realises he is in bed with a stranger. Here and now though the award-nominated game has now been taken on by Ratalaika Games, and delivered to console. The original version of One Night Stand was developed in just 24 days for the NaNoRenO game jam.
