Ao Oni is a Japanese RPG indie game in which you play as Hiroshi and go into a haunted mansion with a group of friends that suddenly become frightened by a monster. The main concept of the game is to be chased by the monster for a predetermined amount of time until you are able to escape. However, you are still stuck in a mansion and must find your way out. That's where the puzzles come into the gameplay. In order, to unlock rooms or obtain items you must complete a puzzle to access the key to the locked room or the item you need to progress further into the game. Due to the inability to determine when the monster comes out, tension and stress really become a huge factor in the game. I think that's one of the main points that I really like about the game in general and that's its ability to utilize basic horror elements and make it into a successful game. Also, the storyline is fairly decent as well, kind of cliché but it still becomes exciting as you progress through the game. The utilization of horror is apparent through the monster and what it does to Hiroshi and his friends. If you have watched a couple of Japanese horror films, most clichés are apparent in the game as well. Unfortunately, one thing that does become frustrating in the game is kinda reminiscent to the Silent Hill series. That one thing is trying to progress at an amazingly slow pace. It can be quite difficult at times due to the varying difficulty with the puzzles and the inability to put point a and point b together. Overall, it's a very good indie game that definitely deserves some attention. If you enjoy RPG, horror, puzzles, and a very decent storyline, I would check it out.
