The game is best played with sound on, so you’d best grab your favorite headphones to immerse yourself in the story and world. One of the best things about Oxenfree is the audio. Animations are smooth and fluid, so I had no lag issues on my iPhone 7. The choice of typography for the decisions that pop up feel like handwritten scribbles, giving it even more of an authentic feel, since we are dealing with teenagers, after all. Colors in Oxenfree range from dark and gloomy tones to some brights that tell you of the supernatural. The characters all have their own distinctive appearances and personalities, and the voice acting for all of them is incredible. While the camera view is mostly zoomed out for the most part, players can still see the beautiful scenery and various environments as they were meant to be seen. The graphics are insanely rich in detail and texture, and everything looks and feels hand illustrated. The visuals in Oxenfree are stunning and gorgeous. Needless to say, it was a perfect opportunity for me to finally take this adventure out for a spin, and I am not disappointed. Ever since then, I had been thinking about picking it up for my PlayStation 4, but then I saw that it just became available on iOS last week.
To be honest, though, I didn’t actually hear about Oxenfree until I saw that it was nominated at the Game Developers Choice Awards at GDC 2017 when I attended the show, and it definitely intrigued me. I’m a big fan of the supernatural, which is why Netflix’s “Stranger Things” appealed to me, and I’m always up for a good story. These days, while a lot of my gaming time is being spent on my Nintendo Switch with Breath of the Wild, I like to check out what’s available on my iPhone for those times I want a break from exploring Hyrule. Plus, this is a great opportunity to play Oxenfree if you’ve never had the chance to do so before on other platforms.
If you enjoy stories with weird mysteries and the supernatural, then Oxenfree is the perfect title for you to check out. OXENFREE ($3.99) by Night School Studio is the iOS port of the 2016 critically acclaimed supernatural mystery graphic adventure video game that was originally on PC, Mac, Linux, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
