For the Russian distribution [[:Image:Windows (RU) jewel case - front.jpg|Oni's title was transliterated into Cyrillic characters]], but this also spells a word in Russian meaning "them". Thus some Russian gamers, instead of reading the title phonetically, assumed that the game is actually called "Them", which just so happens to convey the same creepy ambiguity as "Oni". Most of the other Slavic languages, such as Polish and Czech, also use "oni" for "them" or "they", creating the same potential for confusion as in Russian. | |||
