About This Game

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.

◆3-Minute High-Speed Rounds - Fast-paced, high-intensity matches built for replayability. Win or lose, the next round starts right away.

◆Asymmetrical Multiplayer Horror - Two sides, two experiences: hide and survive as the Children, or hunt them down as the Oni.

◆Walkie-Talkie Communication - Stay connected with your teammates at all times—but be careful. If the Oni is nearby, your conversations won't stay secret.

◆A Third Threat - Ghosts roam the map, aiding the Oni and creating unpredictable situations throughout every match.

◆Thrilling Spectator Mode - Getting caught isn't the end. Watch the rest of the match together with other captured players.

Coordinate with Your Teammates Using Walkie-Talkies

In KAKUREONI, children can communicate with each other using walkie-talkies.

“Over here!” “Watch out!” — calling out to your teammates and work together to survive.

But be careful—if the Oni is nearby, it can hear everything you're saying.

Buy Mysterious Dagashi Snacks

Before each match, players can visit the dagashi shop and buy snacks together.

The old lady sells all kinds of mysterious dagashi, each with its own unique effect.

Use them at the right moment, and you can turn the tide of the match in your favor!

Ghosts Roaming the School

The school is haunted by far more than just the Children and the Oni. Countless ghosts wander its halls.

These spirits are allies of the Oni, interfering with the Children and making survival even more difficult.

The Children can reveal nearby ghosts using Spirit Vision, but the Oni can see them at all times, giving it a dangerous advantage.
