- For a list of people who worked on Oni, see Credits.
This is a list of all known companies involved with Oni. Some of these rights may have lapsed since Oni's release in Jan. 2001, so in one column we list the rights that were held at one time, then we give the current status of those rights to the best of our knowledge. Since the distributors of the Windows and Mac versions are no longer selling Oni on their online store, fans should look for second-hand copies on sites where people re-sell items, such as Amazon and eBay. For the story of how Take-Two came to own Oni, see the Oni article's Buyout section.
