Imagine a high school student realizing that in order to escape a manor with a bloodthirsty monster he has to solve equations, Hiroshi was probably like "GOD ANYTHING BUT THIS"

[SuperCaitball]

The menu scare with Takuro-Oni is genuinely the most perfectly executed interface screw I have ever seen in any horror game ever.

[Gregsusername]

Having the monster hiding behind the text box is some genius shit

[robertpedtke]

Hank: what’s the problem? You scared
Takeshi: *turns into a troodon and screams violently*

[pepdog]

shoutout to me and my friend both individually, without communicating with each other, deciding to watch this video within the space of a few hours of each other, despite neither of us having seen this channel before... and both of us enjoying it enough to seek out other videos on this channel. if that's not a sign of quality, then I don't know what is, lmao

[laurice]

As iconic as Ao Oni is, i think this is one of the rpgmaker games that didn't age well at all. Still, it introduce me to the media so i can't hate it even if i wanted!

[ja-vishaara]

Hiroshi: *forgets to lock the cell*
Oni: "Nothing personnel, kid." *teleports behind him*

[MetalMockingjay]

It's fascinating that each version sort of alternated between being able to save your friends and killing them all horribly. I actually quite liked the ending where all the survivors get an epilogue. Feels the most satisfying.

[lumpybumpy]

I always thought Oni was just a photo picture of yandere dev

[Hank-dijb]

He could be you, he could beme, he could even be-
*𝙎 𝙃 𝙊 𝙏 𝙂 𝙐 𝙉

[EverTheFractal]

There's something about incredibly esoteric and impenetrable rpg maker puzzles that only make sense if you knew the authors uncle that's just so charming to me.

[zenmanlovesgames]

Hiding the Oni behind the text box is hilarious and horrifying.

[twindrill]

I remember there being two endings of Ao Oni. The first ending involved an old man/custodian being discovered and eaten by the Oni, and the other ending showed another group of students who were implied to have been also killed by the demon. I guess this finally explains how I got the two mixed up.

[MsLoquendo]

33:22 With takeshi's blond hair, the Ao Oni looks like Duke Nukem

[AtaraxiaDynamo]

I love how no one made any joke or comment about how the Square shaped Oni looks like a prehistoric precursor of Amogus

[Scholar_Varius]

My first and fondest memory of Ao Oni was watching a pair of Japanese Let's Players go through the game - I may not know the language but the panicked yelling and laughter transcends language barriers.

[ButRedman]

I love the stock rock sliding sound effect every time Aaron comes into frame

[korebiis]

"While Hiroshi runs for his life, you may be wondering who Naoki is.
. . .
So theres another piece of metal next to Mika's corpse"
possibly my favorite part of the video

[alanmonteros]

Wasn't there a version where upon finding Mika the Oni appears and chases you both and you have to hide in a closet, only for the MC to fall unconscious inside, he finds out that the Oni ate Mika who was hiding in another closet besides the one you hid ? I remember something like that happening

[reddeath]

I'm pleasantly surprised at how much passion the both of you have for this game, never looked too much into it.

It's interesting to see how many versions there were, and explains why I had conflicting memories while watching multiple people LP it. Hats off for the quality and effort.
