There is a certain tragedy known as the One-Book Author, when a person produces one work in a specific field that becomes extremely popular but never forays into said field again. In the world of literature, the author might have a couple additional short stories or poems that were published, but no other novels. Compare One-Hit Wonder, where someone has produced several works but only one managed to become popular. May overlap with Died During Production (where the author doesn't live long enough to compose another work, i.e. works published posthumously), Tough Act to Follow (where they're afraid they've peaked on their first attempt, and may also be a Reclusive Artist) or at times with Short-Lived, Big Impact. Compare One-Song Bard. Contrast Author Usurpation for when the author did make more works, but they're only known for one while the rest are forgotten. |

Recoil Games's only release was Rochard (2011), a critical success but a financial failure. They began development on a sequel, but never finished it due to lack of funding, and eventually folded completely. | |

SuperBot Entertainment (formerly known as Broodwork, Inc.) was an American studio founded by Sony in 2009 to make exclusive games for their consoles. They made PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale in 2012 and, despite the positive critical reception, Sony cut ties with them since they felt the game's sales were "inadequate". They tried to pitch other projects, but couldn't find a publisher, so they had to disband in 2013. | |

Hi-Bit Studios funded 198X through Kickstarter, and shortly after its release they revealed it was actually an episodic game; however, sequels to the game (as well as the Xbox One port) remained Vaporware and the team became radio silent on social media and official pages since 2021, so it appears 198X Part 1 is going to be their only game. | |

Cyberchase was animated by a company called Chaung Sul Media starting with the second half of season 3 (replacing RG Prince Films) and all of season 4. This show is their only known work. Season 4 of that series was co-produced by a company named Flying Minds, which appears to have done nothing else either. |

In JSA: The Golden Age, Jonathan Law (Tarantula) had only one book to his name that he wrote and published, Behind The Mask, after which he was unable to come up with anything else. Libby Lawrence's mentioning him being a "one-book, one-hit wonder" ended up being what broke up their relationship with each other. During the battle with Dynaman near the end of the story, Tarantula dies thinking that this battle would have made for a great book to write. | |

Golgoth Studio was a French company with ambitious projects: making HD sequels and remakes of famous arcade games on PC. However, it went pretty badly for them. The only game they actually released was the mediocre and unfinished Magical Drop V for Steam; their Joe & Mac remake never got past character designs and the Toki remake was released... a decade after the initial announcements by a third party, when Golgoth already closed up shop. | |

The game show The Cross Wits has two examples. The 1975-80 version was the only television role for Lovely Assistant Jerri Fiala; one week of episodes had her serve as a celebrity partner, while Kitty Hilton (then-wife of game show announcer Bob Hilton) got her only TV role taking Jerri's usual spot. The 1986 revival was also the only television role for announcer Michelle Roth. | |

Gaslamp Games might count since, outside Dungeons of Dredmor and all its re-releases and DLC, they only released the unfinished Clockwork Empires. After two years on Steam's Early Access, the game was sold in late 2016 at full price but in an incomplete, broken and messy state. Then the devs went silent since December 2016 and the company more or less imploded (see also: Creator Killer). | |

Swedish developers Villa Gorilla have made only one game, and it's called Yoku's Island Express. Justified in that they're a small studio and developing the game took them five years instead of one, as they originally thought. | |

Wheel of Fortune has many examples: Host-hostess tandem Pat Sajak and Vanna White, who took over from Chuck Woolery and Susan Stafford in 1981 and 1982, respectively, originally met this trope: Pat was a former DJ and weatherman (although he hosted at least one unsold pilot before Wheel), and Vanna's only other TV "role" was as a contestant on The Price Is Right in 1980. However, their fame in these capacities led to other roles that now make them aversions. Former San Diego Chargers place kicker Rolf Benirschke hosted the daytime version from January 10 to June 30, 1989. This was his only TV role. The only TV role for Cynthia Washington (ex-wife of San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Gene Washington) was filling in for an injured Stafford for just over a week. Tricia Gist (now-wife of Wheel creator Merv Griffin's son Tony) filled in for Vanna for a few weeks in 1991, thus giving Gist her only TV role to date. |

In 1977, Saturday Night Live ran an "Anybody Can Host" audience contest, the winner of which was a 80-year-old New Orleans grandmother named Miskel Spillman, who hosted the December 17, 1977 episode. This was not just her only hosting appearance (and SNL's only non-entertainer host to date), but her only national television appearance. | |

Win, Lose or Draw: The versions between 1987 and 1992 had a combined four hosts: Bert Convy (1987-89, syndication), Robb Weller (1989-90, syndication), Vicki Lawrence (NBC), and Marc Price (Teen Win, Lose or Draw on Disney Channel, 1989-92). Among these four people, Convy is the only one of the four to have helmed any other game shows (most notably, Tattletales and Super Password). Lawrence was best known for her roles on The Carol Burnett Show and Mama's Family and was a panelist on several other game shows, but Win, Lose or Draw remains her only hosting gig to date (she also hosted two pilots for Mark Goodson and ABC called Body Talk in 1990). Weller's only other major role was a short gig as host on Entertainment Tonight (he hosted the 1986 pilot of Blackout, the failed 1990 pilot of Split Second (1972) and the 1993 pilot of Hollywood Teasers, a revision of All-Star Blitz), and Price's only other notable role was Irwin "Skippy" Handelman on Family Ties. The Disney Channel version, Teen Win, Lose or Draw, had a few different Mouseketeers from The Mickey Mouse Club announce, none of whom did any other announcing work (or in the case of Brandy Brown, much of anything at all). The exception was Mark L. Walberg, who was not a Mouseketeer, and who had experience in both announcing and hosting game shows for many years afterward (and, since 2006, of Antiques Roadshow). |

Topheavy Studios's only release was The Guy Game, an FMV quiz game where the player's goal is to answer enough questions in order to make a bunch of drunken, unaware young women in bikinis strip fully naked. While already infamous at the time for taking advantage of intoxicated, random women on Spring Break, the game itself would end up being banned from North America retail because one of the girls stripping naked was only 17-years-old. This, combined with the game's poor sales (being released around the same time as Doom³ didn't help), caused Topheavy Studios to close its doors. | |
