Oni (奥妮 (Aoni) in Chinese, Они in Russian, ONi/鬼 in Japanese), is a game inspired by the manga/anime Ghost in the Shell, developed by Bungie West and Rockstar Canada and distributed by Gathering of Developers and Rockstar Games for Mac, Windows and Sony PlayStation 2 in 2001. The original builds of the game by Bungie West were for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS, and this was the foundation for the PS2 version.
The game takes place in 2032. The world has turned into a dystopia; the earth is polluted to the point that it is gradually becoming uninhabitable. In order to solve a worldwide economic crisis, the nations unite into a whole: the World Coalition Government (WCG). To prevent people from realizing that the so-called Wilderness Preserves are dangerous and full of toxic substances. the WCG spies on the population, suppresses opposition, and uses the Technology Crimes Task Force (TCTF) to limit access to restricted technology. Our hero is a TCTF agent code-named Konoko (real name Mai Hasegawa). She starts off doing regular police work, but soon learns that her employer has been keeping her past a secret.
As she embarks on a quest of self-discovery, she turns against the TCTF. Players learn more about her family's background as they battle the TCTF and their biggest enemies, the equally massive criminal organization known as the Syndicate. During the climax of the game, Konoko discovers the Syndicate's plan to cause the world's Atmospheric Conversion Centers (the air processing facilities necessary to keep the majority of the world's population alive) to have a catastrophic failure. She manages to partially thwart the conspiracy and save part of humanity.

Oni features a mixture of upbeat techno music by Power of Seven (consisting of Paul Sebastien and contractor Brian Salter), as well as more cinematic pieces by TotalAudio (Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori). Despite Salter composing roughly half of the soundtrack, he is not credited in-game nor on the soundtrack release, and was not aware that his tracks were used; this led to him remixing them for his album Missing Scenes.
Recording
The recordings were made by converting the compressed soundtrack in the DAT/RAW files to WAV files and then to OGG.
