Evolving Toward the Demo! Latest Update on Dagashi Effects, Oni Skills & More!

Hello! We're the KAKUREONI Development Team.

KAKUREONI Is Evolving Toward the Demo!

KAKUREONI is currently in active development as we work toward the release of the Demo!

Over the past few weeks, we've made some major changes and adjustments to the way the game is played, as well as to various game systems.

We've just released a new video where we talk about some of the latest developments!

✅ YouTube video:



Dagashi Effects and Oni Skills...?

In the latest video, we also talk about some of the game systems that are currently being designed and fine-tuned.

Here are a few things to look out for:

  • Effects from Dagashi (Japanese candy/snacks)

  • Skills available to the Oni

  • Different ways to play as a Human or an Oni

  • Overall game balance adjustments


With KAKUREONI, we're not simply adding new features one by one.

Instead, we're aiming to create a game where each element affects other parts of the experience, coming together to create a deeper and more cohesive game.


Because of this, you may notice that the game has changed significantly compared to videos we released a little while ago, or the version you played at our events.

"Wait... wasn't this different before?"

...You might find yourself thinking that!


So, if you've played KAKUREONI before, we hope you'll enjoy seeing how much the game has evolved and checking out the latest updates! 🎉



And There's Still More Hidden Away...

In the latest video, we also briefly talk about the second map and the second Oni.

...But we can't show you everything just yet.

There are still plenty of things we're keeping hidden from you... 👀

And it's not just the game systems—there's even more information waiting to be revealed in the future!

We hope you'll look forward to what's coming next.



KAKUREONI will continue to evolve as we work toward the Demo.

We'll keep sharing development updates and new information through videos and Steam News, so be sure to stay tuned!
