Japan sure does love blood, death and horror!


4. Ao Oni

Ao Oni Gameplay

A group of kids are stuck in a haunted mansion. Play as Hiroshi, the leader of the group, and save your friends before a blue demon (ao = blue, oni = ogre/demon) turns them all into oni.

Developed by ‘noprops’, the adventure horror game is a bit random, and does not flesh out a complete backstory. And why Oni is more purple than blue is a mystery.

This doesn’t hinder the game, however. Ao Oni is known for its short but creepy Psycho-like chord theme, which indicates when the monster is near. Optional (and comedic) oni characters are available in a special room. If you dare access the room though, you’re asking for more trouble!

Get up, you fool! Oni’s on your tail!

Oh you are just SCARY – stay away from me.
