Oni comes with a range of cheat codes. As with most games, the cheats were originally shortcuts to make the developers' lives easier, e.g. '''winlevel''' and '''loselevel''' to test a level script's win and lose conditions, but were left in for the player's entertainment. Oni's cheats were leaked by testers before the game even released, which led to confusion when players of the retail version could not get '''thedayismine''' to work; Developer Mode had been disabled for the shipping build (though engine modders [[History of Oni modding/The tale of Dev Mode|eventually restored it]]). | |||
The most famous of Oni's cheats is '''shapeshifter''', featured in the [[Quotes/Credits|end credits]], which allows playthroughs as other characters. This cheat is considered to be the biggest contribution to Oni's replayability in vanilla form (in other words, before installing mods with the [[Anniversary Edition]]). | |||

When playing the Mac or Windows version of Oni, you are required to finish the game in order to unlock cheats, but the cheats can also be unlocked prematurely by editing [[persist.dat|the save-game file]]. However, if you have the [[Daodan DLL]] installed in Windows, or are using an [[FERAL|Intel Mac build]] of Oni, cheats will be unlocked even when the game has not been beaten. (Note that the Anniversary Edition automatically installs the Daodan DLL in Windows and the Intel build on Macs.) | When playing the vanilla Mac or Windows version of Oni, you are required to finish the game in order to unlock cheats, but the cheats can also be unlocked prematurely by editing [[persist.dat|the save-game file]].

====Overpower==== | |||
'''[[chenille]]''' gives you the visual effect of Daodan overpower and a defensive shield, but your combat moves don't deal extra damage. To achieve Daodan overpower mode and stay in it forever, use '''elderrune''' and then use a hypo at full health. Overpower drains at the rate of 1 hit point per second, which is exactly compensated by '''elderrune'''. You're essentially frozen in ''real'' overpower as long as you don't get hurt. You must get down to normal health to take another hypo. | |||

The PS2 version of the game does not need to be beaten in order to unlock cheats. To enter a cheat, start playing the game, press the SELECT button and highlight the HELP button. Then press one of the following button sequences (you'll hear a sound if you did it correctly). You'll notice that the first 6 inputs are always the same "master code" of L2, L1, L2, ▢, ◯, ▢. | The PS2 version of the game does not need to be beaten in order to unlock cheats.

Compared to the PC cheat code table above with its 22 cheats, there are only 11 cheat codes below. Missing are carousel, canttouchthis, chenille, elderrune, glassworld, killmequick, loselevel, munitionfrenzy, reservoirdogs, roughjustice and thedayismine. That last absence means no Developer Mode (though it's not like you could use the developer console anyway). However, some Dev Mode features such as camera controls are actually available if you have the means to patch the game.
