Making choices and learning more about why things are happening is very compelling and definitely the best aspect of Oxenfree.

The story premise itself on a stereotypical coming-of-age theme, but the supernatural elements quickly emerge and add a very interesting depth to the story. This leads me to the focal point of Oxenfree – the story. I think what I enjoyed most were the dialogue choices, but it’s hard to see in one playthrough what, if any, impact my choices had. There were a few times also where using the radio necessitated looking up online guides and the mini game in Adler’s house was irritating. Given that traversal can be slow, it can be very frustrating to discover you have wandered in the wrong direction. There’s a lot of walking around and interacting with the supernatural elements My biggest and only real gripe is that a few times you are dropped with an objective or a location but getting there is left ambiguous or vague. The gameplay of Oxenfree isn’t overly complex but doesn’t fall into repetition too much either. The isometric view is perfect for what the game wants to achieve. I quite liked how a bucolic setting is shaken by a paranormal presence. This is the stereotypical indie game lacking a AAA budget, but the animated characters are able to hold their own and diversify regardless of polygon counts. The graphics are able to be both lacking in innovation yet also memorable as they serve a role in a greater purpose.
