Oxenfree is a supernatural mystery graphic adventure video game developed and published by Night School Studio. The player controls Alex, a teenager visiting a local island with a group of friends. After accidentally unleashing a paranormal force on the island, Alex and company must figure out what the force is and how to stop it. Game-play is built around the “walk and talk” mechanic: instead of dialogue occurring during cut-scenes, speech bubbles appear over Alex’s head, giving the player a choice between two or three dialogue options. At the same time, Alex remains free to move around and navigate the game world. Players can select dialogue options at any time during conversations, choosing to wait for other characters to finish, to interrupt, or to remain silent. Certain dialogue options cause a thought bubble with Alex inside it to appear over characters’ heads, suggesting that the player’s choice had an effect on the characters’ relationship.
