About Oniwaki Village -Horror game-

Oniwaki Village is a first‑person Japanese horror adventure that places you in a deserted settlement scarred by a past massacre. You play as Kenta, a struggling Y*uTuber, who enters the village to film a viral video and uncover the tragedy’s cause.

The game focuses on exploration and evasion: ghosts cannot be fought, so you must walk or dash away, and progress is saved automatically at checkpoints. It runs on Windows via Steam and includes single‑player, achievements, partial controller support, and family sharing.

01 / THE GUIDE

Village Exploration

The environment is rendered in full 3D, letting you move through abandoned homes, alleys, and landmarks at your own pace. Scattered notes, objects, and visual details are left by former residents and serve as clues to the story.

Each clue adds context about why the spirits remain bound to the area. By examining where clues appear, you can piece together the sequence of events that led to the massacre and the ritual’s significance.

  • Mark the locations of symbols you encounter; they often relate to key story elements.
  • Compare clue placement with the village’s layout to anticipate where hidden areas may lie.

02 / THE GUIDE

Ghost Encounters

Spirits roam the village without the possibility of combat. When a ghost appears, the only option is to distance yourself quickly using the walk or dash movement.

Because ghosts cannot be defeated, maintaining awareness of exits and keeping a clear path for a dash is essential. Sudden appearances require swift reaction to avoid being caught.

  • Practice timing the dash to cover the maximum distance before a ghost reaches you.
  • Keep an eye on open routes so you can retreat without obstruction.

03 / THE GUIDE

The Oni‑Mukae no gi Ritual

Kenta must perform the Oni‑Mukae no gi, a ceremony intended to summon the village’s demons. The ritual is mentioned as a central narrative element linking present investigation with the historic massacre.

While the game does not detail the ceremony’s mechanics, its presence drives you to seek specific items and locations that enable its completion, shaping the overall progression.

  • Track any items referenced in clues; they may serve as ritual components.
  • Observe environmental changes after interacting with ritual‑related objects.

04 / THE GUIDE

Auto‑Save Checkpoints

Progress is saved automatically as you advance through the scenario. When the game ends, you can resume from the most recent checkpoint without manual intervention.

This system ensures each exploration segment is preserved, allowing you to focus on discovery and evasion rather than managing save files.

  • Treat each checkpoint as a natural pause point to review collected clues.
  • If a ghost encounter feels difficult, retreat to a checkpoint before trying again.
