If you haven’t played Oxenfree yet, now is the perfect time to do so, as its much-anticipated sequel Oxenfree II: Lost Signalsis due out next year. The kind of person you choose to be throughout the game is fundamental to what you can learn about the other characters in the game, Oxenfree’s world-building, and the overall ending of the story.
Borrowing from devices used in visual novels, the vast majority of the story of the game can only be uncovered based on branching pathways of dialogue between the player and the rag-tag cast of NPCs.
The game is a must-have for any fan of ghost stories or old-school “choose your own adventure” games. Without giving too much away, the game revolves around unpicking the island’s many spectral mysteries and grim history with innovative scares along the way. The group of teens heads to a deserted island for an overnight party and campout, only to find a lot more than they bargained for. No aspect of the game is a let-down, from the visual experience to the compelling sound design and voice acting, to the brilliantly unpredictable story.Īlthough there are many high points of Oxenfree, the dialogue-oriented storytelling throughout the game is the main feature of the game that is so completely memorable. Created by Night School Studio, the game follows Alex ( Erin Yvette) and her classmates on an overnight trip to a remote island. Oxenfree is a multiple-choice, narrative-driven game centering on grief, loss, and sacrifice.
