Niko is the cat-like protagonist of the indie adventure game OneShot, a story-driven puzzle game in which players guide Niko through a fading world. The character's small, expressive meow has become a favourite shorthand among fans, who lift short voice lines for edits, memes and reaction videos. Because the clip is barely half a second long, it is easy to drop into almost any moment without breaking the flow, and its gentle tone keeps it recognisable even to viewers who have not played the game. That mix of brevity and charm is why it continues to circulate online.
