10 Video Games Where You Can Only Die ONCE

OneShot is a truly unique game in which you play as, well, yourself, guiding a small cat-child named Niko along her journey to save the world.

What makes this title special is that you actually have only one chance to play it. Regardless of which ending you get, the game will not allow you to continue or start over, unless you do a little bit of data manipulation in your system's file folders. And yes, dying also counts as an ending.

Now, although this feature was removed for the Steam version of OneShot, in the original release, when the player would exit, it would count as them abandoning Niko and her world, meaning that you were dooming her to a certain death. Upon reopening, Niko would be nowhere to be seen, and starting a new run would take you to Niko's dark and eerily empty room instead.

There was no way to revert this state other than by meddling with the game data directly. Now, you might say that quitting a game being equivalent to giving up on its world is a little extreme, but on the other hand, it's incredibly memorable.
