Sadly, it has very little to do with the game. It has the monster, the chase music, and they talk about 'Ao Oni' being a video-game. That's basically all it has in common with the source material. The plot isn't terrible but the execution is very poor. The pacing is slow and awkward. Every scene feels like it was slowed down. The characters aren't likeable or interesting. They had plenty of time to make them likeable before the threat comes into play but nope. The characters are very forgettable.
It's 3D animated and looks very cheap. It's very choppy making it unpleasant to look at. Most of the time it has an average of about seven frames per second. In most 3D animation software, tweening is very easy and automatic. They must have decided to render it out with a lower frame-rate to make it appear more like traditional 2D animation. The animation itself is awkward and looks very unnatural. The characters move like robots. With this kind of animation and choppiness, you would fail a 3D animation course.
The music isn't good except for the music during the end-credits which is actually alright. Overall, it's awkward, cheap-looking, and boring. I don't recommend this to anyone. If you're an Ao Oni fan and you're really curious, then maybe watch it.
