Kagame Oni

Kagame Oni (Originally titled Ao Oni 5.7) is an English fangame that was released in three episodes. Installments were spread from September to December 2012. The game is set up as a fan-made sequel to Ao Oni Version 5.2, taking place months after the main cast escape from the mansion. The series is largely story-driven and features few oni chases.

## Plot

**NOTE: The following contains spoilers.**

### Episode 1

The game begins at the start of summer break. Hiroshi, Mika, and Takeshi are heading home from Kagame Primary School. Takuro was not present on the final day, so the three students travel to his home to investigate. At home, it is revealed that Takuro had chosen not to go that day, because he read about potential sightings of a blue monster in the forest. Hiroshi's father intends to visit the old mansion that they had previously escaped from in the original Ao Oni. Mika realizes that she left her necklace back at school, and the group head there quickly in hopes that the place hadn't been locked up for the summer yet. Mika sneaks the group in through a secret door she knows about, and they are promptly noticed by three different oni. After searching classrooms for Mika's necklace, Hiroshi hears a sound coming down the hallway. He quickly pulls everyone into an empty room to rest for a few moments. The group decides to split up, with Takuro accomponying Mika as she searches. Takeshi remains in the room alone as Hiroshi continues to explore.

As Hiroshi encounters several monsters and is chased, he hears Mika scream; the two collide in a nearby corridor. Two oni corner them, and Hiroshi and Mika briefly exchange regrets that they had entered the school at all.

### Episode 2

Takuro enters a classroom and finds Mika's necklace. He hears a scream and runs to fetch Takeshi. Takeshi brings a flash bomb from the closet they hid in. After finding Hiroshi and Mika trapped by two oni, Takeshi tosses the flash bomb, buying the group time to escape. Hiroshi collapses after locking the four in an empty classroom and has a nightmare about his friends turning into the oni. Takuro hands Mika her necklace and the group resolves to escape as quickly as possible. After exiting the school, the group decides to head for the old mansion. They travel through a long tunnel labyrinth, splitting up along the way. Hiroshi awakens in a jail cell, having been knocked out and having another nightmare. Russia (the Hetalia character) appears and informs the group that he had kidnapped them to save them from entering the mansion. He lets the group out and invites them to a formal dinner. The dinner is cut short by several oni that break in and end up ravaging the whole place and everyone in it. The group escapes, but not before a dying Russia explains the reasoning behind the chases. The group exit Russia's Castle, and they are chased by multiple oni. Upon escaping the cave, it gets blocked off and the oni are trapped.

The group sets up camp overnight outside the cave. Hiroshi awakes from another nightmare to find his friends missing. Hiroshi heads to the nearby Village of Shiawasena, where the group meets Vargas, an old man who claims to be able to fight off the oni. After explaining the situation to Vargas, he admits that he cannot help the kids. An oni bursts through the front door, and Takeshi and Vargas sacrifice themselves to let the others escape. Takuro get his head eaten off by the tooth oni and Mika trips as they are fleeing and killed by Sooey Oni. Hiroshi hops onto a boat and starts off down the stream.

## Trivia

* Kagame Oni is one of the first English fangames to make an attempt at having a large-scale story, making it an influential fangame; as a ton of fangames would take after it.
* Kagame Oni Episode 3 (2012) is one of the first times Takuro had been depicted wearing a jacket. Seeing as most fan-art and fanon media depict him wearing this same red/beige jacket since, this would make Kagame Oni an influential fangame in that regard as well. (add citation? I'm not quite sure about this personally, considering he is also seen wearing a jacket in later official media as well. -KaroshiKazuya)

The game features many cameo appearances of characters from other oni games and franchises.

* Nepeta Leijon, a character from Homestuck can be talked to in the village.
* The hooded man from Siro Oni makes an appearance in the market.
* Multiple Hetalia characters are present in the market.
* Hetalia's cast also play a large part in Episode Two, when the party visits Russia's Castle
* Viola from Witch's House shows up in Shiawasena Village.
* Vocaloid character Kagamine Len appears in both the first episode's village, and can be added to your party in the second episode.
* In Shiawasena Village, the player can purchase a new outfit for Takeshi from a merchant with money that was obtained by talking to an optional character in the ice cavern. The costume can be used one time and will change Takeshi's clothes for the remainder of the game, although this does not carry into the third episode. There are also costume changes for Hiroshi and Mika hidden throughout the second episode.
