Oxenfree is a supernatural thriller about a group of friends who visit Edwards island as part of a tradition for college seniors who stay overnight to party. But things go awry when they unwittingly open a ghostly rift, and release something that was spawned from the island’s cryptic past.
The games main character is Alex, and you play as her and are part of her storyline which is intertwined with her new step brother Alex. Together you have to deal with weird events, your peers, and the ominous creatures that have been released, but how you play the game and solve the mysteries is up to you.
Oxenfree is a weird amalgamation of elements from 1980’s teenage horror classics, so you get to see some pretty weird stuff and creatures as you navigate the game to solve mystery’s about the games dark past, from when it was used as a Military base.
Ok so this game was released in January of this year and slipped through the cracks of games reviewed this year so far. It’s a steam game that’s available for £14.99 without the soundtrack (£18.99 with the soundtrack, if you want the extras).
