The player has three possible dialogue options visible. A sequel titled Oxenfree II: Lost Signals, as well as a series adaptation has been announced for the game.Īlex (left) and non-player characters Jonas and Ren converse while Alex tunes the radio. The game was nominated for multiple awards including "Best Narrative" at The Game Awards 2016 and "Outstanding Achievement in Story" at the 20th Annual D.I.C.E. Oxenfree 's release was accompanied by development documentaries, an alternate reality game, and a collector's edition, and was met with generally positive reviews, with critics praising the presentation and characters, although some of them were left wanting more. Musician scntfc composed the game's soundtrack, which features digital music production techniques alongside the use of vintage analog tape recorders and receivers. Oxenfree 's visual presentation marries dark, organic, and analog elements with bright, geometric, and digital ones. Influenced by classic teen films and coming-of-age shows, the developers wanted to create a story-driven game without cutscenes, allowing players to roam the environment freely. After seemingly supernatural events occur, Alex and her friends must unravel the secrets of the island. In Oxenfree, players assume the role of the teenage girl Alex on a weekend trip to a local island. PlayStation 4 and Linux versions were released later in 2016, followed by iOS, Android, and Nintendo Switch versions in 2017. It was released for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Xbox One in January 2016. I give it a 6 out of 10, it's a cool spooky experience, but after the first hour or so, I just wanted to get through it quickly because of the slow pacing of everything.Oxenfree is a supernatural mystery/ horror graphic adventure game developed and published by Night School Studio. I was happy to enjoy the non-speaking parts when they finally came. Also, the constant dialogue got really annoying after the first couple of hours, and for someone who doesn't like to interrupt people in conversation, I feel like that was encouraged in this game, when in real life, I wouldn't have felt a need to respond to certain comments. And there's a LOT of loading in this game.
the bad: Loading times are ridiculously LONG! To the point where I wasn't sure if I should have been pressing buttons to proceed to the next screen.
There were moments that gave me goosebumps as far as eerieness. The good: The backdrops are beautiful, the artwork is gorgeous, cool creepy island atmosphere, the music sets the scene perfectly, and the the good: The backdrops are beautiful, the artwork is gorgeous, cool creepy island atmosphere, the music sets the scene perfectly, and the glitchy graphic effect is used very nicely in the scary parts.
