KAKUREONI: Hide-and-Seek Horror has no reviews yet!
Left behind in an abandoned school at midnight, a group of children must fight to survive...
KAKUREONI is a fast-paced asymmetrical horror game where the Children hide and the Oni (Seekers) hunts them down in intense 3-minute matches.
A mysterious third presence—neither human nor Oni—roams the map, making every match unpredictable.
Your only lifelines are the beam of a flashlight and the voices of your friends over a walkie-talkie. Read the shadows, listen for danger, stay hidden, and make your escape.
This is the story of children spirited away from their world, struggling to find their way back home.
◆ Fast-Paced 3-Minute Matches: Short, high-energy battles you can play again and again.
◆ Asymmetrical Multiplayer Horror: A deadly survival game where the Hider (children) must escape from the overwhelmingly powerful seeker (Oni).
◆ Team Up with Walkie-Talkies: The Children can communicate with their teammates at any time. But beware—if the Oni is nearby, your conversations can be overheard...
◆ A Third Threat: Ghosts roam the map as a third presence, siding with the Oni. Use it to your advantage to gain a powerful ally.
◆ Getting Caught Isn’t the End: Even after being captured, there are still ways to help your teammates.
The darker the shadow you stand in, the more invisible you become.
When fully invisible, even your footsteps become silent.
But be careful—Shadow Veil consumes your mask’s spiritual power while in use.
In KAKUREONI, children can communicate with each other using walkie-talkies.
“This way!” “The Oni is here!” — calling out to your teammates and work together to survive.
Good communication is the key to victory!
But be careful—if you use your walkie-talkie while the Oni is nearby, it can hear everything you're saying.
Before the game begins, the Children can buy dagashi together.
The dagashi sold at Grandma’s shop have a variety of different effects.
Use them at the right moment, and you can turn the tide of the match in your favor!
“Oni Sight,” one of the Oni’s abilities, allows you to see Children through walls and break their Shadow Veil.
The powerful Oni can also destroy obstacles. Break apart the Children’s hiding places and corner them!
As time passes during the game, ghosts drawn to the Oni’s power will begin to appear.
The ghosts are on the Oni’s side.
They can reveal the Children’s locations and drain the spiritual power from their masks, so use them to your advantage!
