Yuoni

Yuoni is a horror game about Ai, a 10-year-old girl in 1990s Japan, who is forced to play children’s games in a world of endless dusk. Hunted by otherworldly entities, she has no way to fight back and must hide, run or die. As the horrors begin to spill into the real world, Ai must find a way to survive.

The world of dusk

A Japanese house, school and hospital are inexplicably connected in a world lit by a haunting sunset. You explore corridors washed in twilight, see amber light through the paper walls of a traditional Japanese house and flee black shadows in hospital rooms where the power is out.

Hide, run and survive

You first face a dangerous game of hide-and-seek, followed by a twisted game of tag against otherworldly abominations. Use items you have gathered to escape, and remember the routes you take or risk becoming trapped. Ai has no defensive measures, so you must exploit each spirit’s weaknesses: hold your breath to pass blind foes or dash past deaf ones. If you cannot get away in time, the entities can kill her.

Ai’s classmates

Mute and anxious, Ai is grateful to find a group of friends to play with. But the ghosts are not the only threat: her classmates have dark thoughts and secrets that you must uncover to make progress. As the story unfolds, Ai learns more about her new friends, including the cruelty children can show one another.

Another ending

Clearing the game unlocks another ending and a new path through Yuoni’s world. This return brings considerably more challenging foes and reveals a different part of the story.
