Oni

Story

The events of Oni take place in or after the year 2032. The game world is a dystopia, an Earth so polluted that hardly any of it is habitable. In order to solve international economic crises, all nations have united into a single entity, the World Coalition Government. The government acts like Orwell: it tells the population that the dangerous toxic areas are really wilderness areas and uses its police force, known publicly as the Technological Crimes Task Force (TCTF), to suppress resistance. The player character codenamed Konoko (voiced by Amanda Winn-Lee), whose full name is later given as Mai Hasegawa, works for the TCTF at the beginning of the game. She soon learns that her employers have been keeping secrets from her about her past. She turns against them and embarks on a journey of self-discovery. The player learns more about her family and her origins as he/she battles both the TCTF and their greatest enemy, the equally monolithic criminal organization Syndicate. At the game's climax, Konoko discovers a Syndicate plan aimed at causing a catastrophic malfunction in the Atmospheric Conversion Centers, the air treatment plants necessary for the survival of most of the world's people. It partially succeeds in thwarting the plan and saving part of humanity.
