      Personally, i love it when these games have an option to save everyone, but you have to work your ass off to manage so, in a way making those the true endings, and a much more rewarding outcome than just scripted "everyone dies, end".

I guess this finally explains how I got the two mixed up.

    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.

    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.

    Ahhh Ao Oni was one of the first indie horror games I really heard of. Watched PewDiePie play it back in the day, and I've been interested in the genre of indie horror since then. Cool stuff!

    Holy shit what a time capsule! I used to be really into whatever amount of lore the game had. Plus, finding a room of wonky purple dudes moving unnaturally is still kinda scary.

    4:00 I call BS on the dev here. People interpret this sprite as having a mishaped head, but if you look the black part of the head looks more like a receding hairline than negative space.
    Also, if you zoom in on the face, you can clearly see there is a goatee!
    I think this implies in the very least whatever the original image was, wasn't something that was made from the ground up to be Ao Oni

    I have no idea what this is but this is fucking hilarious. The constant comebacks to comebacks that sound like you’re having a stroke, the weird ass camera movement, and the sudden turn from insults to flirting, this is a masterpiece
