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.
