Looking back at OneShot we can see a story emerge,
except this story doesn't make as much sense as someone might think.
Why does the World Machine want to kill itself?
How does a living creature get inside of a video game?
Why do Rue and Cedric imply they are robots?
Why did their attempts to tame the World Machine not work?
Where in the world did Niko come from?
Where is the Author during the entirety of the Solstice ending?
All of the answers to our questions are there,
we just have to dig a little deeper into the story.
On a planet, most likely far away, their sun went out.
Some of them dedicated their remaining time to making sure their culture still survived
by sending data of it out into space,
hoping that one day, aliens might find it and remember them.
The Author contributed to this by making a video game that depicted their culture and way of life
The World Machine was the robot designed to run this video game
and the Author built a physical version of it in his study,
as we can see from his blueprint on the side.
For the first question, why is the World Machine suicidal,
Rue tells us that it is because the World Machine had to make Niko go through a world it believed was dangerous.
But, if the vast majority of the code is in the World Machine's control,
why would it believe that the world is dangerous,
when it can see that there is no game over screen,
and that there isn't any way Niko can die
No, what really happened was this:
The World Machine was just beginning the process of becoming tamed,
when it wanted to see what would happen if it corrupted the code.
An NPC fell into the corrupted code,
and this caused the World Machine to no longer be able to control it.
The squares would appear whenever it was scared or stressed,
but the Author didn't know this and got very angry with the World Machine.
When something just doesn't work, you're going to get very, very upset with it,
especially if your world is dying and you're stressed
because time is running out and
you can't figure out why this stupid thing's not working
The Author didn't realize, however, that every time
he was yelling and cussing at the World Machine,
it was able to hear him,
and it internalized this emotional abuse.
He negatively tamed the World Machine,
by establishing a special bond with it
of negative feelings.
But, why haven't we seen any of the dark side of the Author?
The Author controls what he is represented as in the world of OneShot.
If aliens find his video game, he wants
to make his culture look as good as possible,
so he removed negative taming and his own temper from the world.
The Author probably didn't write most of those books he says he wrote.
Why would he spend so much time writing literature for the NPCs in the video game,
when he could just recycle real-life books?
He was too lazy to create a bunch of author NPCS to
write these books, so
he just claims to have wrote them himself inside of OneShot.
The Author wants to tell the player as little about the World Machine as possible, but
is forced to during the ending of the first run.
He uses objectifying, vilifying language to
describe his creation,
like "it silences those who learn of its true nature",
when really, it's a stress response, nothing malicious.
And "the Entity seeks death", which
is a way less impactful way of saying 'suicide'.
The Entity dislikes the Author as well.
The World Machine had to have been tamed from the very first time you open the game.
When you first encounter it, it speaks just like a tamed robot,
it removes the squares blocking Alula's exit,
and the NPCs know how to handle the Solstice Route.
Rue and Cedric failed to tame it, so
the only human left who interacted with the World Machine before you,
is the Author
But the Author didn't treat the World Machine like "a good friend"
considering the state of their relationship,
so negative taming has to exist.
The World Machine doesn't know that it's tamed, however, because
everyone around it (the Author, Cedric, Rue and Prototype),
keep telling it that it's not.
Now for the next question: how does a human get inside of a video game?
The Author, Cedric and Rue all claim to have accomplished this.
When you throw in Prototype as well, a highly advanced AI,
OneShot would take hours and hours to download if there really were three people and an AI in it.
Considering that this technology is never explained in game,
I'm having a really hard time buying that this actually works.
As we know, these devs thought everything out, so
why is this line in the game?
"[Untamed robots] will never confuse themselves with the living."
What purpose does including this itty, bitty detail serve?
And why is this listed as important?
We don't know any tamed robots who have confused themselves with the living...
...why does Rue and Cedric imply they are robots?
If you speak to Prototype first here,
Niko asks him what it's like to be a robot,
and Rue and Cedric reply first.
Why was this added to the game, devs?
They must be tamed robots who have confused themselves with the living.
They were most likely built as a backup to the World Machine
after it began corrupting the code.
Rue is the emotional center, Prototype is the logical center,
and Cedric is the one who gets stuff done,
but this is WAY too perfectly designed for them to be just friends or children of the Author.
They also had their memories of being tamed erased and implanted with fake ones
of living in the Old World. We know
this memory manipulation technology exists
as Alula and Calamus remember the Author visiting them many times,
but he doesn't have time for that!
He's trying to program a video game here!
It would be so much easier just to implant memories!
The World Machine is most likely NOT fooled into thinking the three of them are real,
because, well, the Author
probably tamed them in his office,
which the World Machine is...uh....right next to...
and could probably overhear everything they were saying...
Why did Rue and Cedric fail to positively tame the World Machine?
The World Machine believes that they're not real, but
when Rue lists the conditions for taming
not a single one mentions that the robot has to BELIEVE the tamer is real,
just that the tamer IS real.
Without this rule the Old World would be overrun by tamed robots.
Rue and Cedric couldn't tame the World Machine because they weren't real either. But,
where did Niko come from?
Why would the Author bring a real person inside of a video game that doesn't matter?
*annoyingly high pitched voice*
they're a neko
with cute kitty ears and big yellow eyes
and their name is niko!
so original, right?
she's kawaii, loves pancakes,
her mama, and hanging out with you!!
but she gets scared of the dark sometimes...
that's her only flaw
*regular voice*
That is the most Mary Sue-ish OC ever! And yet,
she's right here, as the protagonist of OneShot.
Why would the devs fall so short when it comes to the protagonist?
This has to be intentional.
Niko is a robot,
designed and tamed by the Author
to emotionally manipulate us into coming back into this world
because of how cute and cuddly they are!
And curse you, Author,
because it worked!
Just...look at this:
*high pitched* Markiplier!!
Are you still there?
It happened again...
Markiplier: Oh it's okay Niko!
It's gonna be okay, don't worry
*regular voice* How could Niko have traveled from her world, and been
transported inside of a video game,
if she was not a robot?
Nobody in the game has to power to summon random people from other planets into the game!
Niko exists in between a small memory portion the World Machine cannot access,
and the main memory that it controls,
which explains why the World Machine can access Niko's feelings
and prevent us from talking to Niko for short periods of time.
Niko was most likely programmed and tamed, now that the Author had learned his lesson,
away from the World Machine,
so it fully believed Niko was human.
The Author also implanted fake, vague memories of wheat fields and pancakes.
This is ingenious, on the Author's part, because
it emotionally anchors the player to the game,
it gives them a protagonist to act through,
and it prevents the World Machine from killing itself while the player is playing.
As the Author finished making the game, he created another tamed robot whose sole job
was to make sure the game was playable,
even if that required making new code,
something Rue, Cedric, and Prototype couldn't do.
This new robot was able to write in the Author's handwriting, so,
let's just call it 'Author 2.0'.
Author 2.0 existed entirely in the extra memory section, and was
completely out of detection from the World Machine.
Then, as the final days of the Old World came to a close,
the Author converted the World Machine's physical structure into code,
and sent it out into space, over and over and over again,
hoping, someday, that someone would find it.
And I suppose that many years later someone found this game, and you
downloaded it onto your computer.
Throughout all of the emotional abuse that the World Machine went through,
it formed an outer shell to its personality,
that I'm gonna call the Entity,
a very bitter and cynical personality who externalized the abuse, pretty different from
the inner shell of the scared and stressed World Machine
that internalized the abuse,
who we encounter at the end of the Solstice Route.
When the Entity first encounters you, it tries
to convince you, first, to quit the game,
so it can wait for the entire file to corrupt, effectively killing itself,
and, second, to help Niko leave above all else.
If you smash the lightbulb, you 'order', as a human, the world
to end, which the World Machine will gladly agree to doing since
obeying a human is above protecting itself,
what it wants.
And we know the story from here:
The Entity is still creating some squares due to stress,
but it is trying to keep that down to avoid corrupting Niko.
However, this causes MORE stress because
it's trying so hard not to hurt Niko,
which creates more squares.
It removes the squares that prevented Alula from leaving,
but still doesn't realize it's tamed because
it doesn't think anyone has treated it "like a good friend" yet,
the definition of positive taming, which
is the only definition that exists in this world.
The Entity was most likely never told about negative taming
when it was in the Old World, because, well,
why would it need to be?
Not really a thing I'd feel like would come up in conversation.
But where is the Author 2.0 in the Solstice Ending?
The Author 2.0 sees how the Entity tries to fake the ending and confuse you
with endless passageways, but
the Author [2.0] creates the clover file and changes
your desktop to help guide you through,
giving you a little, but necessary, information on the Entity.
The Author 2.0 also sees that the World Machine offered the player a new ending
of smashing the lightbulb, which would
allow for it to save Niko,
and commit suicide. The game
is not working properly, which is the
command the Author gave the Author 2.0,
so the Author 2.0 realizes the only way the game will work again,
is to positively tame the World Machine.
And the only human left who could do that is...you.
But there must not have been enough memory in the extra memory portion
to keep the Author 2.0 around
because else he probably
would have spoken to you at the end of the Solstice Ending.
He's never heard from again after the Solstice Route begins
most likely because he removed a lot of his own code
to make room for the Solstice Route, and
converted himself into the golden clover journal that
has the same power to create new code.
This also confirms that the Author seen in-game is not a real person.
There is NO WAY, considering their terrible relationship, that the
real Author would sacrifice himself
just to save the World Machine.
If the Author, Cedric, Rue, and Prototype are all
real people, why aren't they trying to leave?
Why are they so focused on saving the world that was just stated to be a vessel
to transport themselves to another planet?
The only way this would ever happen is if the author we encounter in-game
was a tamed robot.
So you and Niko begin the Solstice Route by heading
down to the mines, where Niko
gets upset because Prototype says
this world isn't real.
And the World Machine freaks out because it
thinks Niko is in danger and it can't do anything,
which creates a ton of squares.
And honestly this fits in with the World Machine's personality. As
a victim of emotional abuse,
to interpret 'harm', as listed in the laws of robotics
to include emotional harm as well.
Judging by the language in which this event is discussed later on, this was most
likely a panic attack that ended with the World Machine being unconscious.
Due to the fact that the World Machine has no facial picture on the side
when it speaks, a lot
of its dialogue that is actually spoken in panicked tones
can be completely misinterpreted as rage.
You then meet up with Cedric, he takes
you two to the Refuge, and then you two meet Rue.
Everyone at this point as been working together to hide the fact
that the Author emotionally abused the World Machine
Rue, Cedric and Prototye either don't know
about the abuse, or, if they do,
they are loyal to the Author first and foremost.
The World Machine also does not want to make the Author,
its creator and father figure that it looks up to look bad.
Don't believe me? Rue directly contradicts
another piece of the story at one point in time.
She says that "the simulation never contained any real danger. The
eventual intended ending was meant to be a happy one.
But the World Machine doesn't know that." But
later on the World Machine knows exactly
what the happy ending was and
exactly what it was going to contain.
Rue also tells us about positive taming,
to make it seem like the World Machine is not tamed.
Her entire definition applies to both kinds of taming,
except for one TINY line
which she adds in, "treat it like a
good friend." This is surrounded
by ellipses, meaning that she was probably
thinking about how she was going to give us the actual
definition of taming and then throw in
a TINY line which invalidates negative taming.
And look at what Rue says here: "[The World Machine
becoming sentient] was an oversight.
Oh, poor Author,
he specialized in AI for so long, it was
simply ingrained in his work."
He's just too talented for his own good.
No, I believe that the Author WANTED the World Machine to be sentient, so it could handle
new situations. That
would be kinda stupid, to send out a robot
that's as dumb as a brick to meet
a whole new species...
No, the Author accidentally negatively tamed
his creation, but he didn't want anyone to know because
he wants to make himself look good. So
he told everyone that SENTIENCE was the oversight
and that NEGATIVE TAMING didn't exist
when in reality, the SENTIENCE
was planned, and NEGATIVE TAMING was the oversight.
After speaking to Rue, you and Niko rearrange their code
in order to form a portal to the Author's digital
recreation of his irl study.
And the World Machine, knowing about Niko's ability
to win over players' hearts, takes the form
of none other than Niko themselves
to gain sympathy from the player.
And curse you, World Machine, because
it worked!!
After I saw this scene you became my favorite character!
are you happy now?!
The World Machine acts just like a typical victim of abuse would: blaming
the abuse on itself,
believing it's always destined to fail,
and not wanting to say what actually happened for fear
of hurting its creator's image.
Niko begins to suspect that the World Machine had
actually been tamed this entire time,
but Rue is skeptical of this and
Prototype shoots it down entirely, further
cementing their roles as just agents
of the Author trying to protect his image.
The Author can only be seen once apologizing
for his actions. He falls
into the same problem the Entity does though, because
neither of them have a facial picture.
However, he does achieve his goal in the end of preserving
the story of his culture among
members of an alien race. The
World Machine asks us to. The Author
played all of us, and we all fell for it.
