The title is written using the Chinese symbol 鬼, borrowed by the Japanese who use it to mean "[[Oni (myth)|oni]]" but originally meaning "ghost", plus the symbol 妮, "girl". In Chinese "鬼妮" produces a title that sounds like "Gweinee", which approximates the sound of the game's original name and also translates as "Ghost Girl".
