This page is a wiki-formatted transcript of the Oni game manual for Windows (scans [[:Category:Manual|HERE]]). Sideboxes and footnotes are used to document the differences from the version of the manual that was available on Rockstar's [https://museum.rockstarnexus.com/websites/2011-05/games/oni/ Flash site], additional differences from the PS2 version of the manual, and to provide various commentary, updates and corrections. The section names are taken from the manual, but are rendered in [[wikt:title_case|title case]] rather than the all-caps found in the manual. | {{TOCfloat|limit=2}} | ||

The most intriguing differences in the web site's text are a couple references to a "rebellion" never shown or even mentioned in the game. Also, the profiles on Muro and Dr. Kerr are found only on the web site. A minor difference not marked below is that the web site omits the word "the" in front of "World Coalition Government". Also, since the web site served as promotional material more than a manual, sections of the printed manual which were instructional in nature (controls, etc.) were omitted from the web site. | The most intriguing differences in the web site's text are a couple references to a "rebellion" never shown or even mentioned in the game.

The small improvements in the printed manual's text indicate that it is a later draft than the web site, and it's possible that the printed manual was intentionally revised to remove references to a rebellion that never appears in the game. The PS2 manual is likely still later than the Windows/Mac manual, based on additional small improvements to the text, however the manual sections about the overall world of Oni have been significantly abridged, perhaps to save pages since the PS2 manual runs longer with various console-related information. | The small improvements in the printed manual's text indicate that it is a later draft than the web site, and it's possible that the printed manual was intentionally revised to remove references to a rebellion that never appears in the game.
