The game features good puzzles and is fun for players who enjoy Ao Oni, especially when attempting no-death runs.
The Oni model is a faithful 3D recreation of the original design, which can be mildly unsettling under the right lighting.
Some players found the game entertaining and appreciated its intriguing story, despite it being a reinterpretation of the original.

The game deviates significantly from the original Ao Oni, leading to disappointment among fans who expected a similar experience.
Many players criticized the level design as repetitive and lacking tension, with the Oni often feeling more like an annoying obstacle than a real threat.
The game has been described as a cash grab with quality issues, including poor performance and frustrating gameplay mechanics.

The game's story is described as intriguing and deep, particularly praised for its creepy sci-fi elements and the way it unfolds through environmental notes. However, some players feel that the complete narrative should be accessible without the need for flawless gameplay, arguing that the challenge to unlock the full story detracts from the overall experience. While the story has its merits, opinions vary on its engagement level, with some finding it lacking in depth.
- “It has a good and intriguing story, fun gameplay, it doesn't feel tedious, and it maintains its fear factor especially when you're going for those no death runs.”
- “But I was immensely fascinated by the incredibly creepy sci-fi story of that legendary horror game, so I immediately embraced the idea of playing this 3D remake, this time on my own!”
- “And most of all I appreciated the story, a surprisingly deep sci-fi novel that primarily unfolds through notes scattered across the environment.”
- “The story is kinda alright but not super interesting or engaging at all.”
- “Now, speaking about the story, here is the only thing I literally hated about this game.”
- “Paying customers should be rewarded with the complete story of the game without having necessarily to beat a hardcore challenge that normally should serve the sole purpose of unlocking achievements.”

The gameplay is described as fun and engaging, with an intriguing story that keeps players invested, particularly during no-death runs that enhance the fear factor. However, some users note that the game feels reminiscent of lower-quality freeware titles from 2013, suggesting it has significant shortcomings despite its enjoyable elements.
- “It has a good and intriguing story, fun gameplay, it doesn't feel tedious, and it maintains its fear factor especially when you're going for those no death runs.”
- “Even though I recognize this game is very lacking, I still find the gameplay fun.”
- “This game has the quality of a freeware game you'd play in 2013 (and not a good one like Ao Oni, more like the crappy cheap scare 3D maze ones). Even though I recognize this game is very lacking, I still find the gameplay fun.”
optimization

The game's optimization is criticized for its excessive CPU and GPU usage, especially given its low-performance requirements, leading to a framerate that appears locked at 30fps despite claims of higher performance. While it generally runs smoothly, the discrepancy between reported and actual framerate raises concerns among users.
- “The game runs smoothly for the most part.”
- “It uses an obscene amount of CPU and GPU for what should, for all intents and purposes, be a very low-performance requirement game. The framerate is seemingly locked to 30fps at all times (even with the performance mode FPS lock disabled), despite the game claiming that it’s running at a much higher framerate (in my case, 144fps).”

The game's atmosphere is described as captivating and engaging, prompting players to replay it multiple times. However, it is noted that it lacks the eerie tension of the original, as the constant presence of the oni diminishes the suspense of unexpected encounters.
- “If you trust me, my opinion is that this is a very good reinterpretation, and I'll surely replay it again and again because I have absolutely been caught by its fascinating atmosphere.”
- “The game lacks the eerie atmosphere of the original, and the tension of knowing the oni could pop out at any moment does not exist as the oni is present at all times patrolling the level, and you hear him coming long before you see him.”

The monetization strategy of the game is perceived as a quick cash grab, yet players still find it enjoyable despite this approach.
