As an old-timer who was there, I can assure you, the oni wasn't scary even back in 2008. It was ALWAYS goofy. That design was never anything but the butt of jokes and even back in the day there were memes about how silly it looked and acted. It was actually a common thing to show this game to your friends, and build up how 'scary' the monster looked just to make its eventual reveal (and said friend's reaction to it) all the funnier. The game itself had moments of effective horror and creepiness - but the monster, no.

I was first exposed to Ao Oni through a fangame of it called HetaOni, which is based on another franchise called Hetalia. Now I know that the reason that some of the characters in that fangame acts out of character sometimes is because its creator was replicating the scenes from the original game. Anyways, if Ao Oni already feels nonsensical, HetaOni is so much more crazy. There are time resets, actual magic, toilets acting as item shops, anime friendship moments and so much more.

I can confirm, back in 2008, the Ao Oni looked terrifying. It's not so much that it was an objectively scary image, but it was so jarringly different from the usual RPG Maker style that it felt unnatural and wrong. Helped by the fact that there's never any explanation for what it is or why it's there. It just exists as this grotesque thing that breaks all the rules of the medium and wants to violently murder the characters. That feeling was why it initially received so many fangames, everyone wanted to recapture that experience (eventually, it just became a meme and the later fangames leaned heavily on that).

One thing I like is just how little lore there is. Its weird to say, but not knowing just what Ao Oni is, makes it scarier. A lot of indie games find themselves making novels of lore, which end up lessening the horror.

Completely agree

I honestly feel that this would be a small price to pay if the lore is interesting.

Now, that's real horror. Not "indecipherable auto-generated noise", it's about the execution. I love how it goes against the now popular tropes like "main character hides in a closet, the villain peeks inside in a drawn-out and tense scene but then doesn't see them", it's always changing it up. The cell scene, the textbox hide, the fake partymember, all that. There's a charm to that raw but original nature of it. It's creative.

Man what a throwback. I thought I was going mad misremembering some sequences; I didn't realise there were multiple versions! Drove me insane wondering where the old character art went and not seeing people talk about it. Fun video! Thanks for your time, hope you're doing well.

I remember watching my cousins play this when we were all preteens. We all laughed when we first saw the monster, because it looked so ridiculously. But by the end of the game we were all terrified. The noise that played, the way that it could just appear at any time. It terrified the hell out of me for months

The oni appearing behind the textbox has got to be one of the most hilarious moments in an rpg maker horror game.
@chelseanocarvalho-iy9op11 күн бұрын
Even the fact that this horror game has its own franchise or whatever, plus this horror game got like six versions also my opinion version 6.23 is also the best.

Ngl the one thing I wish they retained was the room to get one of the item with Blob Oni. It's really funny seeing the supposed monster that had almost killed you more than a dozen times be turned into this slow moving blob that mainly just serves as a guard dog to one specific item.

Back then I was into Hetalia and there was a fan version of Ao Oni called Hetaoni. I've seen more Hetalia rpg maker games too, there was also a Danganronpa one. I would love for you to check that one out because they did change some stuff and the story was way crazier and more emotional, when I played Ao Oni afterwards I actually liked Hetaoni more than that.

Gotta admit it’s absolutely wild hearing you explain the plot at the beginning and realize how much has been added to the game in post. The game used to be even more stripped down - like I remember there only being four characters and the bully characters weren’t even a thing, it was just friends checking out a spooky house together
