Oxenfree

Oxenfree stars a teenage girl named Alex who goes into the woods for a camping trip with her friends. The simple night of fun and hijinks quickly turns spooky when the kids come across a mysterious and otherwordly presence. Players expecting Oxenfree to be your typical teenagers-in-the-woods horror story will be disappointed, however, because the game consistently skirts the line of being considered full-blown horror and upends several cliches in the process. Ultimately, Oxenfree is about the lives and relationships of the characters more so than the strange occurrences they have stumbled into.

The game features a few puzzles of moderate challenge, but otherwise poses little else in terms of gameplay difficulty.

• Did the game subvert your expectations in any way? If so, how?
• Which of the characters was your favorite by the end? Why?
• What do you think about the game's mechanics? Do you enjoy moments of simply walking and engaging in dialogue, or do you need something more structured and fast-paced to keep you entertained?
