On paper, OXENFREE sounds like an old school horror film and it certainly plays out like one.
Now it’s up to Alex to get the gang back together and get the Hell out of Dodge before anything worse can happen.īut not before slamming a few brewskis first The party is pretty dead, but things really get hopping when Alex accidentally summons extradimensional beings with her portable radio, teleporting the group across the island. The pair decide to go to a kegger on Edwards Island, an abandoned military outpost, along with stoner Ren, quiet Nona, and bitchy Clarissa, who also happens to be Michael’s ex-girlfriend. The tragedy split her parents apart and now she is trying to move on by getting to know her new step-brother, Jonas. You play as Alex, a girl still reeling from her brother Michael’s death last year. Today marks OXENFREE’s release and I’m happy to say the same level of enchantment from that sample is back in full force. The union of familiar, supernatural teen movie elements with some truly innovative game design meant that I was instantly hooked. The first game from fledgling Night School Studios was full of wonder and charm, even for the brief demo I played at that convention. I first played OXENFREE at last year’s IndieCade, and I’ve been dying to get my paws back on it ever since.
