Let's Sperg Let's look at most of the versions of Ao Oni 1 (Version 1.1-6.23)(Screen shot LP) (and maybe some fan games) - Scooby Doo Chase Simulator (V1.1, V3.0, 5.2, 6.23, R are done) Next is Class Oni , Oni Loves to eat rope ladders.

I don't have the original text in front of me and I'm too lazy to spend two minutes looking it up, but it looks like the old translator didn't quite know his way around the language. The "tsu" thing is because the character っ is often used to represent gasps or hitches in breath. He might have just used a translation program then rewrote it to look natural-ish.

Can you explain why the new translation has the guy rattling rather then shriving?

The same line from (I assume) a different version of the game, judging by the improved character art. The onomotopoetia 「ガタガタ」 can be interpreted as rattling or shivering among other things, so I guess the new translator just didn't think about the context.

I am so pissed that this thread escaped my notice. I am an absolute Ao Oni sperg who seethes to this day that the series has been handled so poorly. I could write essays on why this series desperately needs an overhaul (and also why Takeshi is the best character and anybody who disagrees with me is fake and gay). Trust me - it says a lot about a series when the 3 minute long animated shorts are the best thing to come out of the franchise so far.

I also know that Megumi and Kazuya did appear in the Ao Oni light novels so they didn't completely disappear after 1.1. Just a fun fact.

Version 3.0: Episode 4: I am sorry what?


This update dedicated to @Dumpster dived waifu
I did up another one quickly mainly for Waifu, and that love of the famished Oni, and it's hunger for rope.

The body doesn't go away, he straight up dead.

We need to go in it, and then back out to reset the chairs and go down.

We all have only 1hp in this version. Sadly no gold, but you can see even someone like me who has played this game like 5 times completely can beat this pretty quick.

Well let's get out of there.

AoOni6 He looks famished..gif

:feels: @Dumpster dived waifu :feels:

Oh and so the rest of you are not left out. This will be our chase song.

You are not welcomed for knowing this is a thing that exists.

AoOni10 Nice fucking Model.gif

This can happen in the old version, no idea if it does the new version. Don't feel like checking by adding a 6th play though to my list of things to do. :story:

Screenshot_17.jpg

One chase later we go and check the body. Because he was holding out on us.

Screenshot_18.jpg

Screenshot_19.jpg

Broken Rope ladder, my beloved!
Screenshot_20.jpg

On our way out, Hiroshi just blurts out this.

Screenshot_21.jpg

Sounds like the DM is railroading us.
AoOni7 Input jeff the killer phrase here.gif

Our friends died, LET'S GO TAKE A NAP IN THE STILL HAUNTED MANSION WITH A KNOWN KILLER ON THE LOSE IN IT. :story:
Look if this was some hidden room, or he put something in the way of the door sure, but he just asking to die.

Version 3.0: Episode 5: Ao oni got some Big Gains.

Screenshot_1.jpg

Last time, the sound of someone masturbating furiously woke us up. Let's find out who making that loud thumping.

AoOni1 It really lasts this long.gif

HOT DAMN ONI BEEN HITTING THE GYM.
This oni is known as Squatto.
You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
Remember Ao oni? This is Ao Oni now, feel old yet?


Our chase theme this chase will be the only song that should ever be recommended when being chased by this.
Or if that was too obvious of a reference

AoOni2 how he walks.gif

This is what it looks like when he walks.

AoOni1(old) Thanos is still at it.gif

And in the old version he not immune to thanos snapping him out of thin air when timer runs out.

AoOni3 jail does not work on him.gif

Don't think the jail is safe., because he just opens it.

Also if you hide in a closet with him in the room, it's just the normal Ao Oni finding you.

Screenshot_2.jpg

This is the other safe spot(s) for chases. The tactic is simple lead him into the room on the right, and when you pop out, hope he goes out the door on the otherside. If he does just wait till you think the chase timer is over and go back in.

Screenshot_3.jpg

With the chase over, we check out dear friend mika to mour- OH HEY LOOK A ITEM.

Screenshot_4.jpg

Screenshot_5.jpg

With both metal pieces we can now use that wall indent from like update 1 or 2 lol.

Before.jpg

AoOni4 shake shake.gif

After.jpg

I Guess this is the true attic.

Screenshot_7.jpg

What in the hell?

Screenshot_8.jpg

This is a annoying puzzle where each of the circles flips other ones on or off.

Screenshot_9.jpg

This is like my 5th time having to brute force this thing.
AoOni5 WHAT IN THE GODDAMN.gif

Just call me benny because.


Screenshot_10.jpg

Each of these Oni have different names.
There spoilers for a later version in there so heads up.

AoOni6 more What.gif

Look out a Melt Fetish oni.

AoOni7 very slow.gif


Screenshot_11.jpg

We get the key out of this shit house.

Screenshot_12.jpg

The door closes right behind us like we are Indiana Jones.


AoOni8 Whispering meancingly .gif

I think the oni head bugging right there is part of the gif making program I use.
He whispering sweet nothings at us.

AoOni9 Clever girl.gif

For anyone who too stupid to leave the house and want to try the jail. He opens it now.

AoOni10 Hiding wont work.gif

If you try to hide, he makes the sound of closing the door, but stays in the room.

Screenshot_13.jpg

I think it's time we blow this scene, get everybody and there stuff together.
Okay 3 2 1 let's jam.

AoOni11 gg no re.gif

Screenshot_19.jpg

I doubt this Simp means what it means now a day buuuuuut.


Screenshot_20.jpg

This is the ones behind the new translation version if anyone cared.


So what did you all think of 3.0? I would give it a good 7-8 out of 10. It better then v1, It has puzzles, and it short but sweet.

But god damn is the oni popping out of every nook and cranny more annoying then scary.
Also I am giving it 1 extra point(hence the ( 8 ) because it kept oni eating the rope animation. :feels:

I am going to take a break before doing v5.2 .

With my little break over, Let's move onto the next version. And I hate to pretense the start of one of theses like this but. I hate this version the most on my first play through.

Version 5.2 : Third verse is also same as the first.

Screenshot_1.jpg

Screenshot_2.jpg

This version cuts out the old man from 3, so we just get the downward panning shot.

Screenshot_3.jpg

Screenshot_4.jpg

Man has this line really been in all the version so far? It's really crazy to me how many little details like this line is kept while a lot of the bigger picture stuff changed between all these versions.

Screenshot_5.jpg

Screenshot_6.jpg

Are you going to piss your pants, maybe shit and cum?

Screenshot_7.jpg

The sound of the plate we have become so fond for happens.

Screenshot_8.jpg

Did I mention how much I dislike Takeshi's portrait? The fact it has this more cartoony web comic style clashes IMO with the more realistic other portraits.

Screenshot_9.jpg

This is like 80's anime style. I like this style more.


Screenshot_10.jpg

Oh look he cares.

Screenshot_11.jpg

And like that we can control hiro.

Screenshot_12.jpg

If we happen to check the plate again
Screenshot_13.jpg

Maybe we can stab the oni this time. Don't see why we pick up the random shard of plate otherwise.

Screenshot_14.jpg

Screenshot_15.jpg

And they ditched us again.

Screenshot_16.jpg

Bingo. Didn't you hear the joke I used last version Hiroshi?


Screenshot_17.jpg

Shadow again again.gif

I love how this is also still here. Still gives me goosebumps.

Screenshot_18.jpg

And if this door and scene is still here then yes.
Best easter egg still.gif

The easter egg death is also still here. But this time we got to try to open it around 8 times.

Screenshot_19.jpg

Floor two still pretty much the same.

Screenshot_20.jpg

Archive room to our right no longer has a bottom door and looks much different, and I am pretty sure that bottom door might be new as well.

Screenshot_21.jpg

Top floor is now just one door, and it's locked like 90% of the rooms right now.

Screenshot_22.jpg

While this door is new, the room isn't

His hair is piss yellow, so maybe R kelly got him.gif

Screenshot_23.jpg

Screenshot_24.jpg

Look at that, he no longer a skeleton.

Screenshot_25.jpg

Screenshot_26.jpg

Screenshot_27.jpg

His only reply is to chatter his teeth like he is from Scooby Doo. So no need for me to post the same image 3 times.



Screenshot_28.jpg

So get this, we have to move this chair( I was stuck for a good 10-15 minutes walking around aimlessly before I checked a walk through) to get.

Screenshot_29.jpg

The fucking key.

Screenshot_30.jpg

Oh hey it's still here.gif

You could make a short super cut of how many times we've seen this at this point.

Screenshot_31.jpg

No place for the oni to hide ( you can check behind all the bookcases he not there).

Screenshot_32.jpg

The key is now hidden under this book.
Screenshot_33.jpg

I know it's hard to see.
Screenshot_34.jpg

He a pokemon master now.gif

Sick of the old music I replaced it again. This time, I used a website to turn this song.

Into a MP3 file and renamed it to "horror-b" (the chase theme) so now it sounds like we are Cynthia, and the Oni is the PC trainer approaching us.


:story:

This chase should be no problem, we just need to go to the closet, and
Fucker killed us.gif

FUCK YOU TAKESHI!
 
Version 5.2 episode 2 : A real cool puzzle.

Screenshot_1.jpg

When we last left off we have our first a scripted chase of this version. Because the hiding place is blocked off, the best place to wait out the hidden timer is here.
You can run around the table till you think the timer is done then leave. You can image us doing the Mexican hat dance with a table.

Screenshot_2.jpg

After the chase we find what was blocking us from this hiding place. Good idea Hiroshi tell everyone not here you took the handkerchief.

Screenshot_3.jpg

Takeshi is spiting us. Or hiro is so fucking stupid he thinks a handkerchief takes up the whole hiding spot.
No matter which way you look at it, pretty stupid.

Screenshot_4.jpg

Screenshot_5.jpg
Screenshot_6.jpg

At this point we are just going through the motions.

Screenshot_7.jpg

The Memo a bit weird this time around, it's in one piece but only two keys are shown.

Screenshot_8.jpg

Let's check the piano.

Screenshot_9.jpg

Screenshot_10.jpg

Ahh yes Paint. Must be, can't be anything else that is red, and would stick to things.

My headcanon is it is jam. Oni was just having a nice jam sandwich while playing a soothing song, and got it all over the keys.

Screenshot_11.jpg

Back to the basics we already know.

Screenshot_12.jpg

Outside that bathroom this door open now as well.

Screenshot_13.jpg

Do you spot the hidden item?

Screenshot_14.jpg

Screenshot_15.jpg

It's dish soap, and sadly we will not use it on the broken plate as funny as that would be.

Screenshot_16.jpg

Another room that was magically open by being chased that first time.
You know if the oni can just seal doors and windows off at will. WHY DOESN'T HE KEEP THEM ALL SHUT?

Sure there wouldn't be a game then, but it still a question I think about given how meta the oni is.
Maybe he is just fucking with us.

Screenshot_17.jpg

Spot the hidden item again.



AoOni1 Chair pushing.gif

Did you guess it was up here? Took me a good 10-15 minutes the my first time around to even notice it.

Screenshot_18.jpg

So we can give the oni a nice Oil rub.
Screenshot_19.jpg

I swear that a real picture of a lighter fuel just shrunk down.

Screenshot_20.jpg

Just look how fucking uncanny it looks to real brand zippo.

Screenshot_21.jpg

Screenshot_22.jpg

No boxs to steal here. But hey look a cool new door.

AoOni2 Oh.gif


Screenshot_23.jpg

Anyway this door also been magically unsealed. If you remember in version 3 we met our good friend in here.

Screenshot_24.jpg

While the room looks vastly different
If we check that weird white box in the bottom corner.

Screenshot_25.jpg

Takuro comes running up to us like we owe him 20.
Screenshot_26.jpg

Screenshot_27.jpg

You know, being chased by a giant blueberry naked man no big deal.
Screenshot_28.jpg

Screenshot_29.jpg

You can tell this game was made before twitter was a thing.

Screenshot_30.jpg

Screenshot_31.jpg

Screenshot_32.jpg

Okay seriously, They are making it too easy to make shitty references.
Wouldn't that be a fun idea for a Ao oni fangame. Scooby doo but the monster of the week is Ao oni.
LIKE ZOINKS SCOOBY IT'S A GIANT NAKED MAN!

Screenshot_33.jpg

Screenshot_34.jpg

and then he just leaves.

Screenshot_35.jpg

Screenshot_36.jpg

This is our clue for the puzzle. This is the only non returning puzzle I like. It's simple, once you understand the hint you can solve it.

Screenshot_37.jpg

Screenshot_38.jpg

You just move around our little head to push these balls into the right order.

Screenshot_39.jpg

Maybe I am stupid but this works despite my own hand telling me it is wrong.


The hint is about the fingers on your hand.
Just line them up. LF is little finger aka the pinky.

But uh one problem. My ring finger looks bigger then my index finger so uh whoops on that hint there.
Screenshot_40.jpg

Once you solve it the goes go complete black, and

Screenshot_41.jpg

We get what ever the fuck this is.

Screenshot_42.jpg

Yeah sure what ever you say game.

Screenshot_43.jpg

And then the Oni pops into the room right as we close the text box.

Fucking Meta gaming oni.
 
Huh, I wonder if the creator is a woman because it is believed that women's index fingers are typically longer than their ring fingers.
Would explain why miku the smartest character locking herself in a room, and why she seemed to be immune to the Ao oni in v1.
 
Version 5.2 episode 3: I hope you are well verse in Japanese puzzles.
Screenshot_1.jpg

With that chase over let's check out more of the rooms which are not locked.

Screenshot_2.jpg

Do you think the Oni the one to decorate the rooms? We have confirmed he has magic powers, so I assume he also doing the rooms.
Let's see whats in that picture frame.

Screenshot_3.jpg

If this was a more kid friendly game, then one might assume the map would come to life and start singing about being "The map"

Screenshot_4.jpg

Screenshot_5.jpg

Screenshot_6.jpg

"lines" Hiroshi are you sure you got the right glasses on? I only see one line.
Anyway we can put the cypher into this thing.

Screenshot_7.jpg

Welcome to our next puzzle.
I hope you are well verse in traditional Japanese puzzles. Because this is one.

Also it's slightly randomized between a few different combinations each new game.

Rather then try to explain something even I don't fucking understand I'll link the wiki, and qoute it.
Each column has one 5-bead (above the center line) and four 1-beads (below the center line). When the 5-bead is pushed down towards the line, it is worth 5, and each 1-bead pushed up towards the line is worth 1. Each of the 10 possible positions of the beads in each column corresponds to each of the 10 familiar digits (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9). Translate the beads to a four-digit code to solve the puzzle.
Rather then try to wrap my head around the numbers, columns , and understanding that black and whites are not that different after all.

I'll just use this nice little cheat sheet someone in the comments of the wiki made because just trying to understand this simple puzzle hurts my Neanderthal brain.

Thank you..jpg

Also keep the number you get solveing this in the back of your head for now, we will use it next update.

Screenshot_8.jpg

Screenshot_9.jpg

Look what room returns once again.

Yes this does mean the other thing returns as well.

AoOni1 Classic scripted chase.gif

This calls for a scooby doo song.


Screenshot_10.jpg

One chase later we open this little compartment here on the right.

Screenshot_11.jpg

We can now become a pyromaniac let's burn the house down.
If you try to use the oil
Screenshot_12.jpg

No idea why the hell the game asks you if you want to. You can't use it for anything else.

Now let's use the lighter.
Screenshot_13.jpg

Yes light up the paper.

Screenshot_14.jpg

Rather then burning it shows us the other keys to solving the piano puzzle.

Screenshot_15.jpg

Also make sure to use the lighter a second time to also heat up the map.
When I stumpled on this by accident my first time playing this this ran through my mind.


Like who would even think to do this, I don't think the game gives even one hint there is invisible ink on the map and memo at all. Just using the lighter just makes Hiroshi turn into a god damn firebug all of a sudden.

Screenshot_16.jpg

If there you got to go, I'm the one you need to know, I'M THE MAP I'M THE MAP.
This is a nice hint to something next update.

Screenshot_17.jpg

Let's do the piano now that we have all the required info and items.

Screenshot_18.jpg

We detergent up our ill gotten napkin.




Screenshot_19.jpg

Then we use it when standing next to the keys.

Screenshot_21.jpg

Ta DA! Oni going to be so happy we cleaned up his mess.
Oh by the way, speaking of the oni. I hope you have your fingers on the movement keys when doing this.


AoOni2 I hope you have your hands on the movement keys.gif

Sure he might have been coming to kill us. But counter point, maybe he was coming to hug us, and tell us we did a good job cleaning up his jam.

Screenshot_22.jpg

You know the drill behind one of these is a safe.

Screenshot_23.jpg

We have used our Massive manlet brains to solve a children's puzzle.

Screenshot_24.jpg

Hey we got a key to a room, let's go open it.

Screenshot_25.jpg

Screenshot_26.jpg

So uh guys, i have a really big question for you all.

HOW DID SHE GET IN HERE? We just got the key, which was locked in a safe, behind a bookcase, that needed a code from a puzzle that requires you to heat up a memo, and then also wipe off a piano keys. Mind you In a room that is locked from the inside, unless you unlock the room above it push the bed, and jump down a hole.

"You could say Oh she got into the room and locked the door from the inside." Problem is even with the key we can't do that ourselfs when the oni is chasing us.
It hurts my head trying to understand (mind you pointlessly) how the hell mika got stuck in a lock room.

The only possible answer is, Oni a asshole who locked the door with his magical meta powers. Fucking oni.

Screenshot_27.jpg


Screenshot_28.jpg

UH hey Hiroshi, don't you mean other? We already talked to one of them. Also this room was locked, why would she know?

Screenshot_29.jpg

Screenshot_30.jpg

We are given tow options here let's do follow me first.

Screenshot_31.jpg

Haha, yeah i know right, what kind of chump would subject themself to being chased around a house by a giant naked sports team's mascot over and over again?

Oh, thats me..jpg

(:_( Oh.

Screenshot_32.jpg

If we talk to her again.
Screenshot_33.jpg

Screenshot_34.jpg

But what if we rewind time and pick the other option?

Screenshot_35.jpg


Yes honey.jpg

Screenshot_36.jpg

Let's play a little game. Can you spot the hidden item in this room?
I sure the fuck didn't my first time, had to check a let's play.
