The puzzles was better in the older versions of the game.The atmosphere is genuinely creepy since there's nothing more than silence which makes it all the more intense.The Oni designs are pretty creepy as they fall into the uncanny valley since the faces have large eyes and such slender bodies.And yes, he's right behind you when you return to the normal map. and the monster is suddenly walking straight towards the screen. During one such instance, you'll make two moves in the puzzle before it freezes.

Some puzzles take you to a different screen to solve them.The cutscene when you're trapped in the jail could count.Very well thought out puzzles, even more so in the older versions of the game.The piano puzzle is very nonsensical in version 6.The English and German translator actually left a note saying they're stumped on how to translate it better for western players, and that looking it up is really the only option. It requires knowledge of a Japanese abacus (a Soroban) and how to count using it. Version 5 in particular suffers from this due to the Cipher Puzzle.Many of the puzzles in the game are very confusing and requires checking everything and using everything on everything else.The soundtrack is nothing more than one track that loops every 15 seconds when being chased.

The game at one point does show different kinds of Oni in a room, but you only see them once and then never again.

There's no real enemy variety (aside from the Blockman Oni in version 6) as the other three students turn into Oni after dying but they're just the same Oni with the only difference is having hair because they're supposed to be the characters who have turned into Onis.

Most of the time you do the same thing over and over, solve a puzzle, survive a chase, solve a puzzle, survive a chase.

All the characters are very surface level and aren't given much characterization besides their basic traits.
