After taking a few turns tuning the radio, a light from the cave eventually draws the attention of Alex and Jonas. A scratchy pulsating sound emits and a light flickers from the cave each time Alex dials up the radio. Ren explains that they were put there by the kids that came before them and instructs Alex to stand near each pile and tune the radio until she cues into some weirdness. Outside the caves they find small piles of rocks. While on the beach, playing their version of Truth or Dare around the fire, Alex, Jonas, and Ren decide to head off to explore the caves. The group of misfits are hanging out with a radio and spotty cellphone service, seemingly having a good time until things take a turn for the worse. While set in the present, you may pick up a Goonies or Standby Me vibe between the setting and this cast of characters. They meet up with Nona, a shy girl and Ren’s crush, and Clarissa, who has a complicated relationship with Alex. Alex and Jonas arrive with Ren, a stoner and Alex’s childhood friend.
The party ends up being kind of a dud when only five people show up for what was supposed to be the big Senior bash. Together with her group of friends, and her brand new stepbrother Jonas, Alex sneaks off to Edwards Island an old military outpost and the setting for the annual Senior year beach party. She’s a little rebellious (but what teenager isn’t) and is going through a traumatic time in her life, especially for someone so young. ĭeveloped by Night School, this chilling adventure game is about a blue-haired teenage girl named Alex. As we head into the last week of October where we celebrate ghosts and evil spirits I felt like now was as good a time as any to revisit the characters that I left behind and rediscover the magic of this supernatural thriller. Do you miss the characters you bonded with over hours of gameplay? Are you left wondering what happened to them after the game ended? Do you find yourself in a pool of emotions every time you think about what transpired? I played Oxenfree a year ago and I’m still thinking about the decisions I made, the mysterious forces I provoked, and the events that unfolded. Part of what makes a game great is how it affects you well after you’ve put the controller down.
