First time I opened Oxenfree I stopped after 2h, finished it the next day. And I tell you, I have troubles playing 1h or longer. It does a great job in hooking you in. Like a strong opening of a great show.
I dialog system just works so so so well and smoothly. It's crazy that no other game stole it yet. It feels like a real conversations. It flows, there's interactions, if you don't say anything it's not like everyone else is starring at you.
And the choices, the choices. Please give me more games where the choices feel so natural, and aren't a big obvious screen with two options. You're just playing, responding and at the end you find out that there actually was a choice. Just like in real life.
Story-driven games are my thing. I love narrative experiences. And this? This is so unique. It's such a good evolution of the genre. I played it years after premiere and I don't think there is another game like it!
Play it, learn from it. You'll have an amazing time.

I enjoyed Oxenfree's focus on plot, character, and dialog. Chatter between characters and the smooth implementation of interruptions and overlaps is rightfully lauded. The soup of paranormal and sci-fi that makes up the plot is intriguing enough, powered by unfolding relationship dynamics and inter-character drama. For all that it has polish and ambition, though, I came away feeling like Night School played it structurally safe. It's a little too consistent to be as interesting as it could be.
Wonderful presentation, and a very engaging story. It gets weird, and though I struggle to remember some specifics, it's got great atmosphere.
10/10 Personal love for this game more than anything
