Muddy survivor's guilt thematic centrism. Refuses to commit to anything and comes out brutally cynical and earnest as a funeral greeting card. Ironically, the natural conversation system only worked to over emphasize how artificial the script and performances felt. Maybe I'm not giving enough credit to the nerves of these teens, or maybe Oxenfree's reliance on "suicide as shock value" betrays a lack of sensitivity to the trauma it mines.
