Onigashima is a psychological horror visual novel about your return to your village after a confrontation with a mysterious ancient entity. You are welcomed as a hero, but your fragmented memories and unusual signs make you doubt what really happened in the forest that year.

Onigashima Game Story

After defeating Yamako, an entity that has been passed down in folklore, you return to your village to cheers. The villagers claim that they owe you their gratitude. However, the relationships around you become strange: everyone remembers you in ways you don't realize, and everyone believes that there was some deep connection between you and them.

The more you learn, the more you feel the world around you is becoming unstable.

  • Contradictory stories
  • Excessive gestures of concern
  • Ancient rituals performed at night
  • Feeling like someone is watching you

At the same time, you also begin to experience strange signs in your body as if the aftermath of the war still exists somewhere inside. As the night of the red moon approaches, you must face the truth about yourself, about the mysterious entity, and about the secret that the whole village is trying to hide.

Onigashima Gameplay

Onigashima features visual novel gameplay with choices leading to multiple endings:

  • Psychological focus, mystery and ambiguity
  • Multi-branching story, depending on player choices
  • Complex relationships between you and the villagers
  • The atmosphere is dark, instilling a sense of insecurity and a sense of constant surveillance.
  • Unraveling the truth about the battle, the past and ancient rituals.

The game focuses on psychological fear and tension, as well as a sense of skepticism that permeates the entire story.

Onigashima offers a psychological horror story, revolving around vague memories, hidden truths, and a feeling of insecurity that creeps into every moment. The game takes you on a journey of self-discovery, where each choice brings you closer to the light… or to secrets that should never have been known.

Can you find out the truth behind the victory of the past? Or are you just part of the fate that the village has arranged? After your journey back to the village and facing the truth, you can join another horror game in the forest called 99 Nights in the Forest: Survive the Night.
