A downloadable game for Windows

What is Nira Oni?

Nira Oni is an English Ao Oni fangame developed by All Levels At Once and Xin, released in 2013. It remains one of the best Ao Oni fangames to date.

In this game, you play as Hiroshi, a 19-year-old biology student who has entered an abandoned hospital with his friends. As a man of science, he believes that monsters cannot exist, but very soon his views will be proven wrong.

Solve puzzles and run from monsters, search for a way out, and try to save your friends, though success is not always guaranteed. The game has 3 endings, with the best one being quite difficult to achieve. Will you manage to get out of the abandoned hospital? You'll have to play the game to find out.

What is Nira Oni +?

Nira Oni + is a project aimed at improving the original game. It fixes bugs, updates graphics, adds more content, stuff like that. So far, no major changes have been made - only some quality-of-life updates. Still, if you want to download the original version, here’s the link: https://nira-oni.tumblr.com/

Please note that save files from the original Nira Oni cannot be transferred to Nira Oni +, and vice versa.

Full List of Changes (spoilers):

Bugfixes:

  • Poison is now easier to find. Also fixed an important bug related to its random disappearance.
  • Fixed an issue where a cutscene could start while the player was still moving, leading to broken movement.

Oni:

  • Oni sprites have been improved.
  • One cheezy strat during Oni chases has been fixed.
  • Oni can now appear in more locations.
  • Nira Mushi has been significantly nerfed (I also plan a complete rework of them in the future).

Controls: 

  • Controls are now consistent: the Z key always works like the Spacebar, and the X key always works like CTRL.
  • The X key can now skip text, just like in Ao Oni.
  • Added gamepad support. (Warning: some players may experience crashes when entering the main menu due to weak gamepad connections. Sorry about this — I’m working on a fix, but it currently seems to be an engine limitation.)

Miscellaneous:

  • Text no longer extends beyond the textbox.
  • Endings’ textboxes have been adjusted to look better.
  • Trophies have been added to show which endings you got.
  • Ending screens have been redesigned to look less ugly.

Future plans: 

  • Translations: Spanish, Russian, Korean and Japanese.
  • Settings menu.
  • New campaigns.
  • New walkthrough guide (the official one was lost unfortunately).

!!SPOILERS!! Theres a bug where the big oni just kinda chills inside you lol

I'm soo glad people still remember this fan-game.
I'm my personal opinion, it's a LOT better than the OG Ao Oni!
Ao Oni is great, but this is even better!

This is fantastic! I remember loving Nira Oni when I was younger so seeing it still get love is great :D

I do just wanna mention something annoying I encountered while trying to get the good ending that I feel like needs to be changed/fixed (SPOILER WARNING!!)

If you have blood disabled, the key that allows you to get Cassey's Voodoo Doll doesn't spawn. I don't play with blood disabled normally, I only hit it accidentally that time, but still something worth bringing up.

The update is almost done!

It will come out, most likely, in early June

It won't have a lot of new content, but it will be kinda cool

After it I'll start working on other character campaigns, can't wait for that honestly

That's such a surprising sight. What I'm most curious is what made you interested in doing a project like this?

Okay so, there's a bit of an issue with getting Hiroshi's doll, as the range for the roach is smaller, it makes it far more difficult to ensure it runs into the poison

Additionally, in future versions I would recommend dropping the "voodoo" label for the dolls

I just wanted to make a love-letter to Ao Oni and its fanbase. Nira Oni is probably my favorite Ao Oni fangame, and it luckily was made on Game Maker 8.1, my favorite game engine that I'm really familiar with.  So it's really easy for me to develop such a project, and I genuinely enjoy working on it because I know it is for something I am passionate about.

Also thanks for reporting about the roach, I will think about what to do with that.
