 ==Russian meaning==
-In Russian, "oni" means "them". Since the title was transcribed with Cyrillic characters, some Russian gamers tend to assume that the game is actually called "Them", which just so happens to convey the same creepy ambiguity as "Oni". "Oni" also means "them" in Polish, but when released in Poland, the name was not transliterated phonetically so the same lucky effect did not occur.
