 Oni was finally released, much later than originally expected, on January 29, 2001 in the United States.<ref>[http://oni.bungie.org/newsarchives/2001/jan01.html Oni Central News Archive, Jan. 2001].</ref> The game retailed in the U.S. for $39.95 on Macintosh and Windows and $49.95 on PlayStation 2,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20010205103400/http://store.bungie.com/info/80 Bungie Store: Oni Bundle]. The UK price seems to have been £30 per [https://web.archive.org/web/20010417161303/http://www.pcgamer.co.uk/games/gamefile_review_page.asp?item_id=6816 this review].</ref> and was rated "T" for Teen by the [[wp:Entertainment Software Rating Board|ESRB]].<ref name=GOD-release />
-Oni was translated into other languages: Russian, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Chinese and Japanese.<ref>[http://oni.bungie.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2102 OCF thread, "What language is your copy of Oni in?", Sep. 2011].</ref> The European-language releases for Mac and PlayStation 2 were delayed until March 2001. The Japanese releases for Windows and Mac didn't come out until the fall of 2001. Oni's localizations generally included re-dubbed dialogue, except for the Chinese localization which only translated the in-game text. Unofficial distributions of the game were made in additional languages such as [[Slovak game manual|Slovak]] by only translating the manual and not changing any of the data on the game disc. The localizations were critical to building Oni's fan base, much of which is outside of primarily-English-speaking countries.

 Oni's storyline is fairly straightforward, although it has been called "understated". Because the story takes place over about a week and a half in the game's timeline, there is little room to develop the characters or setting, although large amounts of additional information are to be found in consoles scattered throughout the levels.
