The Syndicate have also been experimenting with SLD technology, but their efforts have been progressing much more quickly without all the rigorous safeguards used by more respectable scientists. The Tankers are the result of this experimentation: super tough, super strong SLD warriors with a seriously bad attitude. | The Syndicate have also been experimenting with SLD technology, but their efforts have been progressing much more quickly without all the rigorous safeguards used by more respectable scientists.

TCTF Training – This is where your game begins. Utilize this training facility as if your life depends on it — because it does. Take the time and put in the effort to master all of your moves, because Boss Muro and his Syndicate are not fooling around. Remember the time-honored axiom: Practice – you don't win just by doing it, but you can't win without it. Note: TCTF Training is optional. To bypass TCTF Training, select Load Game instead of New Game on the Main Menu, and select Syndicate Warehouse. | TCTF Training – This is where your game begins.

Throughout Oni the game will automatically save at predesigned points. To load a game, click 'Load Game' and choose a save point you wish to play. If you are killed, just click the mouse or press any key, and it will automatically load the last save point you reached. If you wish to load a different save point, hit Escape, click 'Load Game' and just double-click the one you want. That's all there is to it! | Throughout Oni the game will automatically save at predesigned points. To load a game, click 'Load Game' and choose a save point you wish to play.

Dose of Reality – Unlike many other games of the genre, in Oni you can carry only one weapon at a time; this will force you to strategize. The Syndicate will have to be brought down with Konoko's brains as well as her brawn. | Dose of Reality – Unlike many other games of the genre, in Oni you can carry only one weapon at a time; this will force you to strategize.
