Oxenfree

Oxenfree is a solid game with an interesting narrative. The characters are decently written, although the voice acting could be a bit better. There are some lite horror elements but nothing too crazy. The game can be a little tedious at times, there is occasional backtracking and walking through the linear map can take some time. There seems to be multiple endings/outcomes and different ways to play the game, kind of like a telltale game.
Overall, its a good game with some replayability. If you are looking for 100% achievements it will take several playthroughs to get them all. This game has been discounted to 99 cents on steam, at that price its absolutely a no brainer.

walking simulator with a couple really engaging puzzles and a calming story. sorry did i say calming i meant world ending

A really cool short mystery thriller game. Wish it had an option to run everywhere though, it would be possible to beat it in 3 hours instead of 5.

Happy 10th anniversary to one of the best stories I've ever partaken in! The music is incredible and I'll love this game forevermore.

Oxenfree is a great little indie game. You, a teenager named Alex, and some friends, go to an island that turns out to have some, to avoid spoilers as much as possible, anomalies. I found the story and characters quite interesting, although I’m not sure I fully grasped everything that happened. This definitely feels like the type of game that has a lot more going on if you dig into the lore. It would not at all surprise me to find out that there is a lot of things I missed, even though I spent a good amount of time exploring. It’s not super long, taking me only 5.8 hours to beat and get all the collectibles (the rest of my time was leaving the game open for trading cards), but I also paid something like 3 dollars for the bundle with this and its sequel and the soundtracks. The game is definitely worth more than I paid. My biggest issue is the horrendous audio mixing. There are no volume sliders and the music is at least 3 times as loud as the dialog. I wanted to quite many times purely because of this. It’s not always so bad as there are many parts without much music, but whenever the music starts, it’s painful. The game has a new game plus and if it wasn’t for the music, I would play again to see if anything changes, but I cannot sit through constantly balancing between obnoxiously loud music and quiet dialog again. The game also has some bugs with pathfinder, but you can fix that by just using WASD to move instead of clicking where you want to go. Overall, Oxenfree is a really charming and interesting game that I thoroughly enjoyed, but it’s just a few small changes away from being truly fantastic.

Oxenfree was MY ♥♥♥♥ back in 2018. I may not have many hours on it on here, but trust me, my iOS hours were through the roof. I played it over and over again just to see the different options and endings. And even now, after rediscovering it recently, I'm excited to get to play through it again. It's an amazing game with great atmosphere and story!

I'm happy I played this game.
It's a very slow-paced story game, with a lot of dialogue... which is the absolute opposite of the games I go for. The dialogue system was an interesting take with the timer, the story was darker than I expected, and the characters started out as bland but became more interesting with the voice acting. It was a bit too slow-paced/long for my taste, but aight as an experience. Overall I enjoyed the story. I'd recommend it if you're looking for a light novel book experience of a game.
I did run into bugs though. The character tends to get stuck in stairs (which you then have to use arrow keys to break) and one time there was a visual bug of a door being open, which left me wander aimlessly... considering the low pace of the game, it felt like a long time to restart the game and walk back several times to try fix the bugs.
