What Happened in Ao Oni | Full Story Explained | RPGMaker Horror's Dark Beginning 

In later canon releases it was explained that the man who gets eaten in the ending was Mika's father who went to look after her, and he found her as an Ao Oni, he then told her he was going to find help but when he was about to leave the mansion he got chased by the original Ao Oni just to realized the front door was locked.

can never unsee yanderedev as the oni

the takuro changing to an oni in the party menu part was so cool

This game terrified me as a kid, thank you for making me relive the memories haha

The only thing that bugs me with Ao Oni... is the fact that the creature is constantly referred to as 'blue' when it is very clearly purple! On the story side, I think it was one of those classic 'People decided to gluck around with experimentation and learned the age old adage of Mess around and Find Out' Specifically I think the thing may have been brought about by folks trying to bring someone back, with the religious room and hospital rooms plus the fact that the creature(s?) can morph, in both turning people into it and it turning into people. I think it was one of those "My loved one died and the grief made my mind snap so YAHOOO HERE-A WE GO!! Necromancy ass experimentation time is a go and I- OOP-"

Man, i saw an older version of this game where everyone made it out. I'll never understand the older rpg horror games updating and retconning good endings. Either way good video

ok but can we talk about how clever 18:00 was? opening your inventory to see the takuro ao oni in your party must have been horrifying kudos to the devs

my favorite part about the end with takuro is that it gives you a small hint it isnt takuro, because at 17:50 he says “it is dangerous to be alone, will you please take me with you?” but earlier, he insisted that he wanted to split up.

I remember watching Pewdiepie playing this game. Good times 😂 I learned when I was younger that there were different versions with different oni monsters ranging from the big ol Swole’ni, the rapidly running Amo’ni, and the slow-crawling blob with eyes Poo’ni (Not actually their names, I just thought it was silly to give them nicknames)

This game is what immediately came to mind when the Mandela County came out. The alternates remind me of the Ao Oni and I wonder if it was inspiration.

Glad you made a video on the first victim of the ankle breaker

Phenomenal piece, you've a good voice for Narration, keep this up!

This game DESTROYED me as a child, went from wanting to purchase and make my own RPG Maker games, to putting my creativity on hold so long that RPG Maker came up with newer versions of the program. This game coupled with Mermaid Swamp? Nah. Straight nightmares. I had a pension horror games. They fascinated and terrified me.

Great video. Would like to see Ib covered, or even the remake.

This game brings me memories man. Im glad people still remember this game.

This game was a masterpiece, this week I was rewatching Markipliers gameplay of Ao Oni, relived my childhood

This game gave birth to a legend. The ankle breaker himself. If you know, you know

there's an ao oni 2, you gotta do full story explained of that

So I haven’t played this game before (I watched Markiplier play it years ago but it’s been a long, long time since then), but is there a way to save everyone? Like I assume if you ask Mika to come with you when your next objective is the cell room, you can ask her to hide in there instead of the bedroom until escape is possible, and that’ll keep her safe? Something like that anyways

I love the way you tell the story of this game. I was genuinely terrified of this game when I was younger, then got over it after watching several RU-vidrs play it. Now, with the way your describe every scene, the unsettling fear this game put in me are reawaken, and strangely I thank you. 😊

My main memories of this game is watching Pewdiepie screech at the screen back in high school. Good times.

I love your retelling of the story! You word it in a way that makes it feel like you're telling a horror tale around a campfire rather than just describing the events from point A to point B.

Back in the old days when an indie horror game was straightforward

ngl back in the day, that ao oni was actually pretty terrifying, but now it just looks funny

Very good video! Felt like it breathed life back into Ao Oni. The way you narrated this made it feel almost like the Worm Girl F&H videos, even down to the title.

Ao Oni's ankles still shattered to this day.

I'm surprised you only have 200 subscribers, your presentation and retelling of the story is amazing, you definately deserve more sunscribers

Really enjoyed the video! Glad to remember this game, it was one of the first horror games I ever played and it's a nice piece of nostalgia

Ive rewatched this game a couple times, thanks for bringing it back a bit! I still think of it often

Very nice video, haven't heard about this game in a while

YOUR SO UNDERRATED. I can feel that you'll be popular in the future (it's 72 now :D)

U deserve way mores subs, also bc it's a beautiful game in my opinion, and It will be bad if it gets forsaken, keep going!

Man, all I'm remembering is how a crossover with this was a huge *thing* in the Hetalia fandom.

You have a great storytelling voice

There's only one thing I remember about this game and that's Cory x Kenshin breaking the dude's ankles😂😂😂😂

very nice video man!

Always weird looking back at 10+ year memories trying to analyze the feelings now that I’m an intelligent adult. I distinctly remember watching Pewdiepie play this game wayyyyyyyy back in the day. Man it’s crazy how life is looking at everything that happens to now seeing how every domino falls and the effects of it all.

Finally someone do an explaination video about this game. And you have one on my fav game, Misao? You sir earned a new subscriber!

This is great but you forgot the part where one of the oni’s that wasn’t the human like one, starts chasing the mc, it’s super fast and has to be avoided as soon as it starts dashing at you

Takeshi went from a kid playing hide and seek into a running back (RB) for the American football . He ain't letting those Onis to even touch him.

Aoi Oni is an interesting game, it's led to many fangames including the one I'm most aware of called HetaOni which has combat, hilarious moments of character portraits changing & a plot that sounds like something out of Higurashi or the PV for the Vocaloid song Hazy Days.(I hope I got that right) It'd be interesting to learn more about the game or even some edits like an alternate ending based off one of the really old versions. The weirdest thing is that you can choose your player's name & typing certain things in leads to cheats or helpful stuff like a timer for when the chase is over. The part were it gets weird is one code just turns the thing into South Park with pretty much everyone that dies getting killed at the door & random rats showing up. Another thing I found weird is that the anime is a comedy with short segments. Wasn't expecting much but didn't expect a comedy. There's even a bit joking about them growing old & never being able to escape.

Mann I love this types of videos,, keep it up my dude!

You should talk about the later versions as well, pretty sure in the latest version of the game you can save every single one of your friends

Ao oni is those old games (now) that we play back in the day, but it still somehow be terrifying. This is a one of those good horror games that doesn't have to be that complicated

This game scared me badly when I first saw it. Still gives me the creeps to this day. I think what got to me the worst was the music during the chase. Absolutely terrifying.

I have no idea why I watch this at nighttime, cause that face is hauting me... I remember watching Pewdiepie let's play this game and it was a big part of my childhood. I didn't remember how much was actually going on and I absolutely love your recap!

Amazing video, i subscribed immediately

Feels like it was just yesterday when I'm watching Felix playthrough of this game ❤ how time flies...

man i remember watching this way back when i think Markiplier played it. i loved it then, and was kinda confused about the story, but when i tried looking it up at the time, there wasn't really much to go off of. only took (insert number of years here) to finally get a video on it.

I'd recommend checking out more classic rpgmaker horrors! I saw someone mention Ib, and i have to say the witchs house, mad father, and the crooked man series are all also classics!

Amazing narration

Bro I remember this game! This was the greatest and scariest thing at the time. Always loved it

I just realize that the characters face is so similar Junji Ito's art style

Almost 20 years later, the game still gives me chills

I remember watching my japanese cousin play this game, he finished it and deleted it. It seems fun to play, I want to try it out as well.

Ok unrelated but bro your narration is absoultely immaculate!! Are you a writer of some sorts?

Good video and nice voice

this is the first video ive seen of urs and i love it! i may or may not continue perusing your videos 👀 i see this isnt your typical content but i love ur vibe!

i only knew about this game through hetalia ( hetaoni )so i was SO surprised to hear theres no time travel at all in the original 😢 unfortunately i believe the hetaoni was cancelled because all the data was lost in a tsunami or something in 2011 ?? kills me to this day. best fangame ever !!!

Watching PewDiePie and Markiplier play this as a kid was one of my first experiences with the internet so It's very nostalgic to me

sheeesh you are underrated

watching the first few parts of the gameplay hurts when knowing that in floor 1's kitchen, it's a guaranteed escape from chases when you go around the back of the sofa then exit the room.

Jiji: nothing but direct malice is felt from the being. The being: 🥴

Yknow whats funny about this vid? You tell the story better than the actual story XD I kinda wanna see an Ao oni remake that showed all the emotions described and asked all those questions XD

After all this time this shit actually feels less like a fever dream.

18:01 You don't know how much I like this trick. It's simple but really cool.

if you ever make a video like this again I would suggest making sure the video clips dont spoil the narrative youre trying to tell and that the clips line up with the part of the story you're telling

man this is AN OLLLDDD GAMEEEEEE, it was highschool where I played this and Im pretty sure its the FIRST horror game Ive ever played and ACTUALLY FINISHED :D

oh my god my sister showed this blue man thing to me and i remember having nightmares as a kid

you're very articulative. great job.

This isn't an insult or anything but this the most death I've seen from someone playing Ao oni lol, I'll attribute that to the jrpg jank

I remember this game and enjoyed the South Park secret you can unlock after you complete the Ao Oni if I remember correctly

amazing what just coloring a sprite weirdly and resizing it does eh? I only now realize just how ez some of this is months into using rm xp and mz, still excellent job on em. had Us all scared so well for years XD

What really happened to him is that coryxkenshin broke his ankles 😂

I keep hearing Markiplier's voice reading all the lines 😂 Thanks a lot for this video !!

The funny thing about mika is that even if you ask her to come with you she says no and stays in the room.

Cool, but I would like it if you did this for the speedrun.

6:04 I remember this perticular place

as a kid i saw a lot of videos on yt about this game but at that time i didn't have a PC. Now i have one and i wanna play this game so bad but i have no idea on where to install it

Ahh horror before fnaf Simple Scary Straight to the point No pointless heaps of lore Good times

Bro, the memories...

Me: oh this video must me old The video: 12 days ago

so we aint gon talk about the way he broke the monster ankels

So youre telling me this thing jumps out cabinets and chimneys but cant check a closet?

You know, i wonder if Alex Kister was inspired by this game when he made Mandela Catalogue with the Alternates.

30th sub

I have some critiques about your video first you could add some unnerving background music to get the listener more into it and you could also maybe change the music between different times.

Underrated

Ahh memories of this game

This game is old and someone is explaining the story, watched Cory play it (a famous RU-vidr btw)

Always wanted to play this, never could get it too work

Are you going to do the third and second part?

i remembered being scared because a class mate in fifth grade told me about ao oni. and I thought he was going to kill me while I was asleep

I thought the guy on the thumbnail was Mark Zuckerburg, but its a blue demon I guess... wait thats the same thing.

Are there multiple endings to this game where you can save the other characters?

Seen Cory Ken shin play this so many years ago

Rpg maker has made so many classics,This is probably the most popular of his games ngl

I always thought this blue face was just a joke made from a photo of Yandere Dev.

I find it funny when people say the fnaf movie was the first indie horror game to have a movie. Here comes the 2 Ao Oni films.

Wait this game was adapted into a live action movie and 2 of them i know about the anime but wow i want to see them
