Allisa James from DualShockers finds really obscure Japanese indie games and writes about them.
This month she covers an RPG Maker title called Ao Oni, about four teenagers -- Hiroshi the protagonist, Takuro, Takeshi and Mika -- who wander into an abandoned and supposedly haunted mansion in order to investigate.
Shortly after entering the mansion, the doors lock behind the quartet. Hiroshi at first doubts that the mansion is haunted, but soon finds himself being pursued by an enigmatic blue Oni and must now find a way to save as many of his friends as possible and escape the mansion alive.
Stephanie Watson writes: "Video games may not be the only culprit of this offensive trope, but they have always been especially guilty. It's pretty difficult to name games that don't use the “mental illness is scary” trope, even though it's so easy to scare your player without it. What games can you play this Halloween that don't poke fun at the “dark side” of mental illness? I'm glad you asked!"
What an awful website.
These games aren't making fun of mental illness. What planet is this author from?
Everything is a problem because they say so.
now that we are approaching halloween we will see articles on how costumes are sexist, racist and culturally apropriative.
Who is going to stand up to these whiners and say that if we cant dress up as an native american or a ninja and eat taco's then they cant eat pizza and pasta, use a cheese slicer or wear seiko watches or drive a prius.
What you use a cheese slicer to put cheese on your sandwhiches?
"STOP APPROPRIATING AND MOCKING MY CULTURE, IM SO OFFENDED!!!!" lol
