![]() The Oni’s pathfinding is surprisingly okay, at many times positioning itself so that it’d cut me off if I need to change directions. I honestly got used to its appearance more than anything. Its appearance is off-putting to some, but to others, jeez, look at that weird blue head on that small puppet body. The appearance of the Oni being scary or not is debatable. It’s one of those horror things where the monster takes front and center and drives the personality behind the game. ![]() The setting is real simple and while later RPG horror games has a better focus on characters, the characters in this game aren’t interesting, so I’m not even going to bother remembering their names. The game doesn’t really have much of a personality to speak of. The main premise is just kinda standard horror fare, with a bunch of kids heading to a mansion rumored to have some monster and oh no, the monster is real. So anyway, I hadn’t played it so now was a better time than any.Īo Oni is a game made in RPG Maker XP by noprops, released in November 2008, with the English version translated by Jmu. The only things I definitely knew about Ao Oni beforehand is that you spend the game being chased around by some blue asshole and that PewDiePie played it and turned said blue asshole into a rape joke meme. So, Ao Oni, it’s a pretty defining game for horror RPGs and one of the most notable games of that genre. Anyway, horror RPG is a dumb genre name since the horror element seems to be loosely defined and I also see people categorize Undertale as that and like. The only things that I’ve played were Yume Nikki games (which, I argue, is only sometimes horror in nature), OFF (which people for some reason categorize it as horror) and Ib (actual horror game whose aesthetics and story I like) while the rest sorta bled into me like osmosis. I am a really squeamish person, so I mostly stayed away from this stuff. Despite being somebody that’s really into the RPG Maker scene, the whole phase of horror games made in the engine passed me by.
