Jonas will ask Alex questions about the island, and one of the selections will make it clear that if selected, you’ll be revealing new information from Alex’s memory. For example, Alex and friends stay on the island yearly, as a kind of tradition, but this is the first time her stepbrother Jonas has been there. One way in which Oxenfree delivers backstory without forcing it down players throats is by optionally revealing information Alex may know that the player wouldn’t necessarily know yet, by the dialogue options provided. Other times you’ll be snapping people back to reality from the horrors they are experiencing. You can be sarcastic or make jokes in tense situations or you can encourage characters to stay serious.
Because of this, players can view various endings depending on how Alex’s relationships end up.Ĭonversations feel extremely natural, with dialogue options that reflect how most people would think. Each decision will have some impact on your relationship with the characters around you and the story itself. You have the option to pick one of three responses or to stay silent, depending on the situation. Playing as Alex, you’ll react to conversations had between characters ranging from your new stepbrother, your best friend your best friend’s crush, and your deceased brother’s ex-girlfriend. Don’t let that discourage you though, because you’ll find yourself constantly unveiling new information and advancing the story the entire time. The writing is especially important because the majority of the game involves walking and talking at the same time. Those looking for a spooky and deep narrative with multilayered characters who reveal more about themselves over time will be pleased Oxenfree has some of the most interesting and realistic dialogue of any game I’ve ever experienced.
