There are many different versions of the original Ao Oni game, all created by noprops (pixiv / twitter ). The original game was made in RPG XP, a paid software for creating RPG games, and many fan versions also used this software for authenticity. You will need to download and install the Runtime Package (RTP) to play games made in RPG XP. The Installation Guide has more about this in detail.
The oni genre has spawned many games that are difficult to locate and play. Most of these games are Korean and currently have no public download links, although there are screenshots and videos of several. Most of these games were created in RPG XP and some feature Hiroshias the main character, partaking in various adventures - but most games feature their own unique monster.

Ao Oni Fan-made Games
There are a variety of unofficial Ao Oni games. This title in misleading, because many of these versions are completely unrelated to the original Ao Oni game - the story, locations, characters, and even the monster may differ. All of these games, however, keep the same genre and were inspired by the original Ao Oni, making them part of the fanmade series. In most games, you explore and solve puzzles in a mansion haunted by the Oni .
Comical fan games and parodies of the Ao oni franchise are a popular trend in Korea. Many games are hastily or poorly made, and serve only as inside jokes or to poke fun at a celebrity or crossover. It is necessary to seperate low-quality games from games that can be appreciated for their story, characters, and good design.
First-tier games will include games that act as a standalone game and are generally well-made. These games fit within the genre of the original game, incorporating original characters, new puzzles, and oni chases.
Second-tier games will include games that are unfinished, glitched, or low-quality, but are still serious fan games that extend the oni game universe. These games could still stand as a playable game without the context provided by the original game.
Third-tier games includes all other games, including parodies, crossovers, jokes, or games of low quality to the extent of unplayability.

Third Tier Games
Hundreds of Ao Oni games exist that are either poorly-made parodies of the game or are too short and devoid of content to be considered a playable game. The trend is popular across Korean Naver and Daum blogs, as well as the Korean indie game site Avangs. These games are too numerous to list here or provide information about, but an inexhaustive list can be made of games that are at least playable.
