One Chance

"In 6 days, every living cell on Earth will be dead.

You have one chance."

One Chance is another in a long line of Apocalyptic Countdown Flash games that are all the rage these days. Your team finds a cure for cancer that happens to be a pathogen that travels through air. It uses a Second Generation style graphics scheme and the gameplay consists of walking forward and making a few simple choices. It is not the feel-good flash game of the summer.

To crib the author's notes:

"One Chance is a game about choices and dealing with them.

"Scientist John Pilgrim and his team have accidently created a pathogen that is killing all living cells on Earth.

"In the last 6 remaining in-game days on Earth, the player must make choices about how to spend his last moments. Will he spend time with his family, work on a cure or go nuts?

"You only have ONE CHANCE to save the world. One. uno. 1. And you bastards will have to pry this game out of my cold dead hands before I put a replay feature in."

This game provides examples of:

 * Apocalypse How: We're facing Class 6 here.
 * Beard of Sorrow: While John had a beard before the effects of the pathogen occured, it's evolved into one of these by the end.
 * Betty and Veronica: There's your wife, and a co-worker that keeps trying to skip work with you.
 * Children Are Innocent
 * Downer Ending: As with all multiple-ending games, there is always one bad ending.
 * Driven to Suicide: Several people, mostly your coworkers.
 * Golden Ending:
 * Heroic Mime
 * It Got Worse
 * Lost Forever: The last sentence of the author's description is not kidding around. While it's obviously possible to get around this, the save file does everything in its power to make it hard.
 * Nice Job Breaking It Hero
 * No Celebrities Were Harmed: Barack Obama makes a handful of appearances.
 * Roaring Rampage of Revenge:
 * Sleep Cute:
 * You Fail Biology Forever: As one comment on a YouTube video put it, "VIRUSES AND VACCINES DO NOT WORK THAT WAY."
 * Your Days Are Numbered: The premise, though you can choose to try to fix it.
