Ao Oni is a survival horror game developed by Japanese indie creator noprops in 2004 using RPG Maker XP. As a boy named Hiroshi, you investigate a supposedly haunted mansion with your classmates, only to run into the creepy humanoid creature called Ao Oni. While running from the shrieking Blue Demon, you explore the mansion and solve puzzles in order to find a way out. Ao Oni\u2019s popularity gave birth to a franchise including several sequels, spin-offs and even novelizations.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
