Oxenfree is a supernatural adventure game. Rites of passage and Senior year traditions set the stage for a group of friends sneaking off to Edwards Island, an old military outpost with no phone service. Players will take on the role of Alex as she brings her new stepbrother Jonas to an overnight party gone horribly wrong. Inspired by classic cult films like Stand by Me and Poltergeist, Oxenfree is an adventure that pulls from the past but looks to the present. “It’s a coming of age story where players control how their hero comes of age,” says Sean Krankel, co-founder of Night School. “We’re drawing on the fond and mortifying aspects of being in your late teens, and setting it against a dangerous and ghostly backdrop.”

Always wanted a game like this in both atmosphere and gameplay. A solid recommend for those that enjoy games that have a focus on narrative as well as those who would enjoy the spooky vibe of the game. I fully intend to platinum it, although even if you don't plan on getting all achievements, it's best experienced with at least 2 play throughs.
I don't know the vibes....
A constantly suspenseful narrative with an abundance of twists and turns throughout. Worth doing multiple runs to reach new plot threads in this deeply compelling world.
Neat little adventure game. Pretty much equivalent to watching a movie for 4 hours, but dialogue and writing aren't cringe at least. The story itself is nothing amazing, but it's worth playing through I'd say. If you're not interested within the first 30 minutes, it's not for you.
she caused so much conversation.. the focus on hauntology in this one was so good.
A good short game, has a good narrative and keeps you engaged.
