WARNING

WHEN YOU SEE IT, RUN.

The Ao Oni will appear in a number of different ways, the most common way being it coming through a door. However, it can often appear in an unpredictable fashion, such as from a closet, through the ground, or transforming from another object. In any case, once it appears, head to the closest exit. It will try to chase you persistently, and it is quite fast, so either go into a closet and hide or keep running until it stops chasing you.

You and some friends come to an empty house. Suddenly you are separated. A monster that chases you is constantly trying to kill you. To get through the house safely, you must solve puzzles and escape from danger.
