  • 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.

    @Ka_muu@Ka_muu8 ай бұрын

  • 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.

  • 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.
