An abandoned school at midnight... Players split into two roles: "Hiders" and "Oni (Seeker)," facing off in fast-paced, three-minute rounds. Your only lifeline is the flashlight in your hand. Read the light and shadows, listen for every sound and presence—hold your breath, run, and escape. But this is no ordinary game of KAKUREONI -a deadly game of hide-and-seek. Something inhuman lurks in the darkness— a third presence that will never side with the living. This is the story of children, spirited away into the night, struggling to find their way back home to their families. ◆3-Minute High-Speed Rounds – Tense, replayable matches you can experience again and again. ◆Asymmetrical Multiplayer Horror – Two sides with different roles: Hiders and Oni (Seeker), each with unique thrills. ◆Light and Sound Mind Games – Your flashlight, footsteps, and even breathing can reveal your location. ◆Walkie-Talkie Communication – Only humans can use walkie-talkies to talk at any time—but if an Oni is nearby… ◆A Third Threat – An otherworldly being roams the map, blending predictable patterns with randomness to constantly disrupt the game. ◆Thrilling Even After Capture – Even after you’re caught, you can still enjoy spectating alongside other captured players. Coordinate with Your Team Using Walkie-Talkies In Kakure Oni , human players can talk to each other using walkie-talkies. “Over here!” “Watch out!” — calling out to your teammates and moving in sync is the key to escaping safely. But be careful… using a walkie-talkie while an Oni is nearby might let it hear your conversation. Buy Mysterious Dagashi Snacks Before the game begins, human players can spend their allowance to buy dagashi snacks. The dagashi sold by the old lady are packed with strange and mysterious effects. Use them at the right moment, and you can turn the tide of the match in your favor! Ghosts That Lurk in the School The school is haunted not only by humans and Oni — but by countless ghosts as well. These ghosts side with the Oni and hinder the humans. Humans can detect ghosts using Spirit Sight , but Oni can see them at all times, making things far from simple.
