Summary
This relic of a bygone era in gaming was a cheesecake calendar that Gathering of Developers seems to have published for a very brief period (I can only find evidence of a 2000 and 2001 calendar). The idea was that a key target demographic would be happy to pay for a CD-ROM full of game demos if it came along with a bikini calendar. Oni was "lucky" enough to be featured for February 2001, the month after its release. The modeling photos are unrelated to the games they are combined with; the unknown model "Miss February" is not cosplaying as Konoko in the schoolgirl attire at bottom-right.
