In the world of video games, we don’t normally have to worry about messing up. No biggie, we just simply restart the chapter or go to the autosaved checkpoint and try again. Indie developer, Awkward Silence Games, has crafted a deeply moving flash game with a twist – the restart mechanic does not work.
In the cautionary tale that is “One Chance”, you play the role of scientist John Pilgrim and your team has finally found a cure for cancer. The celebration is short-lived as the cure turns deadly and starts killing every organism on Earth. There are six days left to live and you must decide how to spend those days. Once the game is over, there is no replay feature, hence the title. You’re stuck with the decisions you have made.
You have one chance. Play it and let us know what happened.

It won’t let me play… ;(
You mean it won’t let you play again?
no, it won’t even load.
The game took a while for it to load. Alternatively try at Kongregate.
Awesome concept. I just ended in the park with my daughter waiting for the inevitable. Anyone actually managed to save the planet ?
Did you find the cure in the lab and then end up in the park? That happened to me and when I reloaded the page, the park bench was empty.
