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.”
