“One by One, baby. One in Five. No one here gets out alive.” This is the philosophy that drives the game’s cynical Arena Lord.
In an empty battleground,
three brave contestants plan their moves, unaware of how the fight will unfold.
The player
records the action of each character, one after the other, trying to anticipate how all of their moves will eventually play together.
One by One is a turn-based twist on the Hack-and-Slash genre, a cooperative game for the single player.
The game was created in 48h for the 2015 Global Game Jam. Unfortunately, it was only released a few weeks afterwards due to internal delays. No major change has been applied on the original jam build.
The team behind One By One, Through Games, is currently working on their full-time project Fru.
