Setup

A few things to note is that while most runners use the itch.io release of OneShot due to it being DRM free, any version works due to the fact that the run is timed using in-game time. Also, the runner will need to open the ___.exe program, frequently called the Clover Program, that is found in the install directory. Usually, the runner opens it before every run, but it is ok as long as it is open before tower sleep. Finally, the runner needs a way to view the safe code quickly. This is either done through the utility program which is in the #resources channel on Discord (https://discord.com/invite/EdXVrfv) or through file explorer preview typically. The runner can also choose to open the file itself, however, it doesn’t update until you interact with the computer after turning on the generator in barrens. Whatever method the runner choose, make sure it is available and visible before starting a run.

House

Bedroom

  • Go to bathroom to the left.
  • Talk to the plant to collect the dried branch.
  • Talk to the remote on the floor of the bedroom and immediately equip it.
  • Instances like this are where an interact + inventory key are especially helpful.
  • Use the remote on the window.
  • Enter the code into the computer. Note: to input a 9, press down once instead of up 9 times. This is faster for any number over 5. 5 is the same going up or down.
  • Hold automash through the computer’s messages and hold enter to instantly close the popup.
  • Any time the game loses focus, automash needs to be released and reheld if you want to mash through text.
  • Exit into the living room.

Tournament

Tournaments are hosted in the Discord server of OneShot speedrun server.
