I played this game years ago after finding it on Kongregate and it was definitely a big positive surprise. Seeing One Chance on itch.io now made me feel quite nostalgic. There’s something about this game that makes you connected with main character and the whole downfall happening around. An absolute must play!
I did one of the endings on YouTube back in the day and other one’s on my own. Think I’ll now sit to it again to fully refresh my memories.
I would say this game is way more than "that one game from 2010". This game was out during an "art games" wave on newgrounds, and I think this is one of the best of them. I find something about the way it is all put together to be very compelling, like there was something very personal at stake for this developer to make it like he did. The crude artstyle highlights how absurdly terrifying the plot is and makes me think we are partially viewing this from the perspective of the guy's daughter. The music and text appearing every day letting you know "every single living cell on earth will be dead" gives me shivers. And the permadeath is not just some tacked-on gimmick, it fits the terrifying tone of the whole thing perfectly. Overall excellent, and I hope this game is remembered for way more than plain nostalgia.
I first played ONE CHANCE 2-3 years ago, but it seems that the version I tried had a bug which prevented the best possible outcome.
However, in this version, undertaking the exact same course of actions does lead to what seems to be the best possible outcome (of having at least 2 humans surviving beyond 6 days).
Another bug common to both versions is how the child may sometimes appear twice in the same scene, as if she suddenly has an identical twin.
By the way, the version hosted at your game website does not seem to work. It merely launches with a blank white screen, with music playing in the background.

Why did I play this...
Deep remorse is what I feel.
The feeling was very much real.
My heart which I thought was made of Steel.
Broke apart, Bent and kneeled.
the game beat me blue, black and teal.
It felt as if someone tore my soul, and put on it a seal.
Strange game I must say.
But still, it felt nice to play.
It made me feel like a piece of clay.
By the sheer amount of time it made my emotions sway
It made my night yet spoiled my day.
The deaths made my soul fray.
Left me colorless and gray.
Trying to change the inevitable felt like finding a needle in a stack of Hay.
Amazing game. You must play
(dw guys I got the good ending {sorta} but you gotta admit my rhymes made Eminem quiet)
