◆What is the collaboration event "Ao Oni no Sumika"?

This is a collaboration event where you can experience the world of the horror game "Ao Oni" at two locations: a haunted house that uses an entire old house and a cursed item cafe.

Through immersive x mission-clear type experiences, you can enjoy a realistic horror as if you have entered the world of "Ao Oni".

Staging includes realistic experiences of the game's world, such as hiding in closets as in the game and evading the suddenly appearing Ao Oni.

This production features an original story exclusive to the event, and is enjoyable for those who have played the game, as well as those who haven't played or haven't watched game streams.

Furthermore, with three routes A, B, and C, the appearing cast, puzzles, and story differ for each, allowing you to discover new things and experience new horrors no matter how many times you participate.

◆What is Ao Oni?

"Ao Oni," released as a free game in 2004, gained attention for the intense presence of the suddenly appearing Ao Oni and its suspenseful puzzle-solving elements that require exploration, becoming a hot topic on Niconico Douga and YouTube.

Subsequently, smartphone app versions and remake versions were released one after another, with the series surpassing 34 million cumulative downloads.

With the release of the Steam® version in July 2024, global attention has significantly increased. The Nintendo SwitchTM version, released around the same time, ranked first in the download software rankings on the Nintendo eShop, demonstrating its high popularity in PC and console domains as well.
