Happy ending, right?īUT! It turns out, there’s more to the story…

Stuck offshore with no ability to contact anyone for help, Alex is forced to fend off the ghosts, reveal the true history of the mysterious island, and come to terms with her own guilt over the death of her brother, Michael, a year earlier. The rift allows a horde of vengeful ghosts to come into our reality, who hope to take the teenagers’ lives as their own. Planning to celebrate the school year’s end with an overnight stay on Edwards Island - once a military base, now a tourist hot spot - they accidentally “tune” into a ghostly signal, opening a dimensional rift between time. In Oxenfree (2016), a high schooler named Alex, her stepbrother Jonas and a few of their friends unwittingly discover that Camena’s town legend is actually real.

I’m happy to at last be able to start sharing a few details of the next chapter of the Oxenfree world, that spooky universe filled with strange apparitions and floating triangles and women with interesting hair choices. I’m also co-writer of Oxenfree II: Lost Signals, which I am super excited to finally announce is coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 by popular demand. Hi! I’m Adam, co-founder of Night School Studio and lead writer of Oxenfree. In Camena - a community in Northern Oregon - that story is about a submarine from World War 2 and a collection of lost and terrifying spirits. Woods where a disturbed killer still wanders the trail. A bridge that’s always cold, even in summer. Its newest trailer (above) debuted at last night’s Nintendo Indie Showcase, where we also got fresh trailers for the gothic sequel Blasphemous 2 and skating platformer Bomb Rush Cyberfunk.A campsite where people mysteriously vanish.

Oxenfree 2 is jumping onto consoles, Netflix ( because they acquired the developers), and PC via Steam on July 12th. It comes from how the weirdness that transpires teases and pulls at these complex, bottled feelings.” More of that, please. As Annie Mok wrote at the time, Oxenfree’s “horror doesn’t come from traditional jump scares or big toothy monsters. There’s definitely something to that line of thinking, as Oxenfree’s scares weren’t confined to overtly creepy sights and sounds. Plus, the feeling that time is collapsing in on itself made the adventure even more worrying thanks to an older cast, and a player base that has grown up in the time between Oxenfrees. “We can’t wait for players to embody Riley, shaping her through life-altering choices.”ĪliceB got a glimpse into the future - not through an interdimensional tear sadly - during her preview where she concluded that if you enjoyed Night School’s free-flowing conversations in their other games, you’d probably enjoy Oxenfree 2 as well. “We wanted to tap into the essence and world that made the original game so special, while immersing players in a brand new story with even higher stakes,” said Night School’s co-founder Sean Krankel.

What follows is a reality-shifting, time-travelling mystery that somehow involves a villainous cult, previously teased through audio transmissions patched into the first game. You’ll play as the environmental researcher Riley as she returns to her hometown of Camena and investigates the choppy radio signals that freaked out many an Oxenhead. Set five years after the original, this time around there’s an entirely new cast, setting, and threat to deal with.

Just like the first Oxenfree, there’ll be plenty of flexible walking and talking where you’ll be able to interrupt conversations at any time, or just stay silent throughout, which would be creepily on-brand for a series about ghostly rifts and unsettling radio frequencies. Spooky supernatural sequel Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals is launching on July 12th, developer Night School have announced.
