probably every horror fan has heard of this game, atleast every rpg maker horror fan, its a total classic in the scene but after playing it now, theres so many issues with the game, the game does do alot of interesting and cool things, i thought some of the moments and scares, while a bit cheesy and funny looking nowadays, were really cool, i wanted to like this game but it feels like it tried its best to make that not happen
first of all the biggest problem is the oni himself, the elephant in the room immediatly is that honestly the design may be cool but he isnt really scary, atleast not by todays standards, and even worst he ends up making the game so frustrating and hard, escaping from him is hard because of the clunky rpg maker controls, if you die it can be incredibly annoying since the game doesnt have auto save, and the random oni encounters are the worst part of this game hands down for being repetitive, annoying, and easy to die by since youre caught off guard, if there was atleast a warning whenever the oni was about to attack it would be tolerable but there isnt even that so he just becames an annoyance in the end and not scary.
the second part is the puzzles, ill admit some of the puzzles i thought were pretty cool and interesting, but the rest are super cryptic and impossible to understand, i tried my best but it was basically impossible for me to get far in the game without looking up a walktrough, so many of the puzzles just end up being "interact with this random object to find a secret door or key", its dumb.
again, i really wanted to like this game and at times i did, but the issues above just simply ruined it for me and made the game become a chore to get trough, honestly if you wanna experience this game nowadays, just look up a youtuber playtrhough of it, trust me youll have a much better time.

I feel like this game does a good job with scaring you and how the puzzles work. The artwork is good for an older 8-bit game and the character designs are very unique.

This game totally freaked me out but i had a blast, i love pixel horror games and this is one is a shining example. So much fun, really well made and challenging puzzles. Wish there was more of a soundtrack but have to admit it added to the eeriness
