Oxenfree 2, sequel to critically acclaimed thriller out now
The sequel to the critically acclaimed indie darling, Oxenfree II: Lost Signals is out now.
Developed by Night School Studio, the original Oxenfree was released and almost instantly it won over a legion of fans won over by its masterful thriller storytelling, charming characters, beautiful visuals and enticing soundtrack.
Admittedly, I was late to the Oxenfree party, but better late than never. If you’ve never played the original game, it can be picked up right now for as little as £2 and if you subscribe to Netflix, you can get it at no extra cost.
In case you didn’t know about either of the two games, I’ll include the synopsis for each below, but be aware of spoilers, obviously. Before we go, go buy either of these games, because you won’t regret it.

Players will have to determine every aspect of Alex’s story while exploring Edwards Island, manoeuvring strange events, eccentric peers, ominous creatures and more in order to save their souls and close the rift that was accidentally created.
