And while the most dangerous thing I ever encountered was. I was a dumb teenager, driven by curiosity and a confidence in my immortality.

From its painterly art style, to the spooky. Oxenfree reminds me of those nights in dark, weird places. Additionally the mysterious horror is really well put together, and because of this Oxenfree manages to achieve the sort of mood and atmosphere it's aiming for. Despite the move toward older characters, Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals retains the signature look and feel that helped to define the 2016 indie hit. This story starring Alex is interesting, deep and easy to identify with, and while the dialogue appears odd at times, the characters are still believable and lifelike. Oxenfree offers an engaging, though sometimes confusing, narrative filled with plot twists and reveals that keep things interesting throughout the adventure. Parents need to know that Oxenfree is a downloadable adventure game that features a group of teenagers on a small, remote island. Thankfully the game manages to rise above most of its problems and in doing so it delivers an experience that both comes across as unique, and rather personal in its own way. It turns it into something generic and ordinary. Oxenfree could have benefitted from something more subtle, something that would have amplified the horror and the mystery, but SCNTFC's tracks tend to do just the opposite. And the music listened to on its own, is excellent, but you could make an argument that for an emotionally charged experience like Oxenfree you need a bit more care than the 80s-inspired electronica offers, especially since this sort of soundtrack has been overused in cinema and games lately. However, Oxenfree is anything but generic. It starts out well enough with electronica artist SCNTFC. It has a great, 80s movie-inspired atmosphere, and looks like a painting come to life, complete with. The same cannot be said of the soundtrack. When it runs like it’s supposed to, Oxenfree is a beautiful game to watch, listen to and play.
