+TheApexHound I was considering buying it for a friend, you mind telling me what its like so I can make sure she'd like it, I have a general idea of the thing, but I just need to make sure she doesn't either A) get bored or B) lose interest because it's too wierd/puzzly/difficult (I doubt its B, but you never know). Keep in mind, this is a person who plays Hunie Pop for the 'chieves... I still don't get that one :l
+V3RTIGO222 It's definitely not B and if shes in to story games I'm sure she'd not lose interest, It's about four hours long and the story just heats up as you go along. It's much better than I thought it would be honestly
Goose 22 I just started another play through and on the boat i can already see it. Thanks a ton, this would usually be a game I put down after one play
@@mikaelnoob1765 There are some storylines that get dark. There are some things that could be considered triggers, but I wont tell you what they are unless you want me to, because it could be a spoiler.
This review really doesn't do the game justice. If you like games like The Walking Dead or Life Is Strange, you will love it. It has a very interesting story and an amazing ending. A great play for anyone who likes story-driven games.
Well technically the game never ends because its just a big timeloop so in the end of the game you are back in time on your way to the island again, and the more you play the deeper the lore gets, the second playthrough was so different from the first one and the game just continues in an endless timeloop, i love it, it makes the game one of the best i have ever played
Playing through this now, and the long walks can get cumbersome but make for a scenic route. The background and atmosphere are really captivating and actually quite chilling at times. I did not expect to like it as much as I do.
True, it's an indie. But this game is far better that a lot of big games today. Simply because the idea actually wasn't lazy. Unlike the money-grabbing companies that are becoming.
They added a huge replayability factor with the timeline loop, it changes the whole game so having to walk everywhere really isn't so bad. Also neglected to mention the secrets littered throughout the island that alleviates the pace of long journeys. And to nitpick, you said for more on Oxenfree, stay with IGN or something, but this seems to be your only Oxenfree video
You should've played the game with a controller, where dialogue choices are mapped to quickly accessible buttons. The long stretches of time where no dialogue happens are meant for you to listen to the radio.
this game is right up my alley. LOST Tv show, What remains of edith finch, the vanishing of ethan carter, Firewatch, Alan Wake, inside, limbo, alan wake's nightmare... freaking love games like these. You guys have more recommendations?
I really loved this game, even when I was screaming at 2am over it 😂 (I’m a huge chicken). The story was really great and if you like mystery/sci-fi/phycological stuff then you’ll enjoy this. Or if you like reading, I’m a big book nerd and this was like watching a book in a way, except I got to choose bits of what would happen next
Explaining what the game is about would completely ruin it. Had I known what the game was about going it it would have spoiled it a lot. Thankfully the reviews I checked out (like this one) were done by people sensible enough not to ruin anything.
Just finished my first playthrough. The story is very touching and I loved every minute of it. I'm probably going back through to explore dialogue options.
Something nice about this game is simply it’s quality. It’s an indie game with a perfectly executed art style and map design, wonderful music, and a fresh horror theme (like, slow unstoppable killer, a chaser, a camper killer, it’s a unique antagonist)
Not me, but I can tell you that she lied throughout this...Well, almost entire video. She says that she went to play the game again, to get better hold of the dialogue, and then adds that she often fell like as if she didn't have enough to do (spoilers ahead): When you replay the game, it changes, completely. After the credit rolls, and you 'start over' again, it certainly looks to be the same, until the dialogue changes, along with pretty much THE ENTIRE GAME. You DO, however have to go through most of the same things, but this time it takes place-in the ghost dimension. Not only that, but you get to answer questions along the way that are quite difficult to, well, answer. Oh, and IF YOU FAIL to do so, everything gets much.Much.Worse. Almost as bad as my grammar.
This was a really bad review! The game is about friendships, change and dealing with loss in a dark and supernatural setting. It involves time loops and a couple quirky puzzles but it's the emotional and crazy twisted ending that got me!!! And THEN as if that isn't enough when you finish it you can start it again with the same timeline so the initial dialogue has changed to involve the fact that it all seems familiar... I'm halfway through my second play through and it is pretty different. I highly recommend checking this out... pool your money with some friends and spend an afternoon on your first time through. It's short and amazing!
Cèsar Garcia yup, if you don't play it more than once, you can understand only a little part of the story. I mean, playing it again unlock new scenes and new dialogues, and tought you cannot really think u've finished this game until u actually escape the loop.
When the Metro Exodus was coming out everybody claimed that epic store is the worst thing ever, and they wouldn't even look at that because of the policy it maintain. But freebie is freebie, huh?
I’m actually a big fan of the dialogue in this game. I think people focus too much on how “realistic” dialogue is when they should be focusing on how much it fits the tone of the game. If the dialogue was more realistic to how teenagers actually talk, quite frankly it would be a lot more boring.
The dialog was stilted? I felt like LIS was more stilted IMO. LIS sounded like adults trying to be teenagers. I felt like the dialog was more natural compared to other games IMO.
The game is great And I agree the pacing is slow But the story is awesome So you play as Alex who chills with friends and a new step bro Then u do some illuminati thing with a radio and then u do some things with ghosts that posses your friends and you go through time loops. It's legitimately scary with jump scares and disappearances (All based on a true story) And there's multiple endings as well
Don’t play this game while high, at night, with the lights turned off and you listening to it through a headset! Other than that, this game is amazing!
the game is so unsettling and funky and deep and just emotionally moving that it stuck in my head for a long time. you need 6 hours and some emotional tolerance really :P
Really got into the story driven games like "Life is strange" just scored this on switch for $4.99 so I am hoping this will be remotely just as enjoyable.
i got as far as "Clarissa" at the fire, but her character put me off... on xbox gold. i am curious whether you can ditch her or something.. she's just 'ugh'
Explaining what the game is about would completely ruin it. Had I known what the game was about going it it would have spoiled it a lot. Thankfully the reviews I checked out (like this one) were done by people sensible enough not to ruin anything.
nice score i can agree with that but it tells you its a walking talking game soo... you cant take points off for what it is... that like telling a fighting game it doesn't have enough free rome
What was her last debacle. There aren't much reviews for this game which I find crazy since they want 20 bucks lol maybe 9.99 at the most but since the description for this game says on its first sentence how much ign loved it. conflict of interests maybe....
True.... Like most of it seemed more realistic than actual conversations I've had irl since most of my conversations tend to drift off and get surreal.
Lol here come the negative comments simply because it's an Indie game, It's a great game. Brilliant voice acting and cool creepy story.
+TheApexHound Indie games are becoming more commonplace on IGN. Yes it's was a breath of fresh air at the time, now that air is getting stagnant.
They're games, IGN has to cover them. And this one is really good, Not everyone enjoys just Triple A games.

You want to know why this game is awesome, replaying the game makes it even more creepy and mind blowing
Goose 22 why and how? I'm starting it now!
Blank__ __ it changes overtime for each play and filling the blanks from past experience

I don't think 8.2 is bad, especially, considering the kinda reviews they've given in the past.

You had be at, The Walking Dead
The thumbnail makes me want an animated Oxenfree movie or TV series
I think that the creators of the game are planning on making the game into a movie, so if it happens I'm definitely gonna watch it.
A Netflix animated series would be so perfect
That's what I was wondering when I started playing this game. This is more than just a game
Should be made into a movie. The first time I played it it gave me chills a handful of times from the eerie things that occurred.
Netflix has acquired the rights and a show is in early development
bought it. really interesting game. love the slow pacing and chill give it has.
Playing through this now, and the long walks can get cumbersome but make for a scenic route. The background and atmosphere are really captivating and actually quite chilling at times. I did not expect to like it as much as I do.
not my type of game but it looks great for an indie game.
AnimeFightsHD what do u mean?
Indie games are great
Better that the boring triple a games these days which are mostly fps games
I literally just finished playing it and I got the biggest mindfuck ending. That's not bad it was really good but dam was it crazy.
AnimeFightsHD this game actually mediocre compared to the best indie games lol
Samantha L put down whatever drugs you're using please.
True, it's an indie. But this game is far better that a lot of big games today. Simply because the idea actually wasn't lazy. Unlike the money-grabbing companies that are becoming.
This game blew my mind man! I've played of about 4 times, and loved it more each time!!! Couldn't recommend it more, also the soundtrack is perfect
@@silveriver9 Frankly it probably doesn't matter. Would likely load better on PS though.
Love the background art.
Same here. If anything would get me to play it, that's it.

IGN comment section is more messed up than the supernatural things in the game. it's a good game, very immersive.
I just finished this game-twice-and it’s easily one of my favourite indie games of all time!
my all time favorite game of 2016
Not saying much lol
My Favorite game.ever
Doom was the best 2016 game.

The game should tell you that then.
Anyone else go to these review videos to read the comments and decide based on those whether to buy the game?
For those interested on paranormal things instrumental transcommunication is a big part of the game

Heavy story-driven game, so just expect for a surprise
Just finished my first playthrough. The story is very touching and I loved every minute of it. I'm probably going back through to explore dialogue options.
right now it's free on the epic store if anyone is interested
Yeah I already downloaded it
everytime you play the game, it's like a different kind of story.
Whose here because its free in epic games soon :3
You can now get it for free at epic games...
I know thats why i waited for this time
that's why i'm here
Something nice about this game is simply it’s quality. It’s an indie game with a perfectly executed art style and map design, wonderful music, and a fresh horror theme (like, slow unstoppable killer, a chaser, a camper killer, it’s a unique antagonist)
Anybody know any other games like those? If you haven't played Oxenfree, why not? Seriously it is something new and fresh, to me anyway
now free with the epic games launcher, ya'll better grab it quick! and the next free game in two weeks will be The Witness ;)
How do you know what game's next. I'm really curious because I heard someone else say that, as well.
Freeman Traceur it literally is on the front page of the epic games launcher
Camil David IM DEAD I FEEL BAD FOR THIS GUY 😂😂😂
Bad review, still don't know what the game is about, just mentioned the dialogue. Waste of time.
It mentioned what's good and bad about the game for you to decide whether you should play it or not. Saying what it's about would be a huge spoiler.
melack857 get the game your self dumbass
melack857 if they tell you the story, then spoilers
who else here cause of EPIC?
yup lol
Yep.
I'm glad I didn't buy this game cos so far it's rather boring.

Maybe I should give that game a try.

Did ya download it?

They’re both the same. What ever is easier you should get.
You didn't mention when you replay you get different options for talking
Me at the end of indie world: huh neat
The dialog was stilted? I felt like LIS was more stilted IMO. LIS sounded like adults trying to be teenagers. I felt like the dialog was more natural compared to other games IMO.
No I agree with the reviewer. Some options felt awkward and unnatural, especially in the surprise moments.
If anyone doesn't know... playing the game a 2nd time has different stuff that happens.
Just some like Undertale? Or the whole thing.
This game is 2$ now 😳
The game is great
And I agree the pacing is slow
But the story is awesome
So you play as Alex who chills with friends and a new step bro
Then u do some illuminati thing with a radio and then u do some things with ghosts that posses your friends and you go through time loops.
It's legitimately scary with jump scares and disappearances
(All based on a true story)
And there's multiple endings as well
T WH I wouldn’t say scary but this definitely has some serious suspense and chills.
I think the pacing was slow to keep the conversations longer and more natural-feeling.
Based on a true story? Ooooo spoop
Is the background music of the vid game's soundtrack? If so then it sounds more decent than I thought.
its free this month with xbox gold
This game deserves a WAY higher review score. At least a 9
Don’t play this game while high, at night, with the lights turned off and you listening to it through a headset! Other than that, this game is amazing!

Really got into the story driven games like "Life is strange" just scored this on switch for $4.99 so I am hoping this will be remotely just as enjoyable.
Is this worth buying on PS4. Need something to play :)
It's on sale, just go for it
Wow, dreamy and fascinating atmosphere with teenagers at my age... I wanna buy this game😁
Can someone tell me if it’s scary/creepy, or not so much ?
Did u even play this thing.
Do provide info on what ur playing
Free with gold on xbox Sept 2017 :)
i got as far as "Clarissa" at the fire, but her character put me off... on xbox gold. i am curious whether you can ditch her or something.. she's just 'ugh'
I'm playing this now ,and it is very good , if you like tell tale games , you will more than likely enjoy
so. on the horror forums suggested me to this game, looks like a great unique experience
Possibly the slowest paced game I have ever played. Not for me
So slow paced that it's just practically boring.
glad I got this game from epic and didn't actually buy it.
I'm here because it's free on xbox live gold:)
Stupid and pointless comment.
Bad reviewer. Didn't even explain what the game was about.
Edward Tigersoul The point of IGN reviews is to not have to Google the game.
Explaining what the game is about would completely ruin it. Had I known what the game was about going it it would have spoiled it a lot. Thankfully the reviews I checked out (like this one) were done by people sensible enough not to ruin anything.
nice score i can agree with that but it tells you its a walking talking game soo... you cant take points off for what it is... that like telling a fighting game it doesn't have enough free rome
But does it make you feel like Batman?
Saw it on sale last week on switch for 5 bucks came for the review i loved it
1 euro on the eshop currently!
playing the first time was scary the second time is scarier but it's too good not to play
THIS GAME IS FREE ON GOG AND LAYERS OF FEAR IS FREE ON HUMBLE BUNDLE
It really makes you feel like an oxenfree
Is no one gonna mention the soundtrack? The only reason why I can ever do homework
the dialogue did not sound stilted at all to me?
I have a strong weird feeling that the people who made this game were on hallucinogens heavy lol
ItzYaBoiJustin game any good
If you think that's "hallucinogen heavy" then you should watch or play Layers of Fear or PT.
It looks fantastic for an indie game!
so much salt in the comments... let people enjoy things please. not every one of us like the same things
Good grief please tell me this game gets going at some point
Question: Is the horror a serious horror or a light one
IamCat Not horror but more Suspense
It really makes you feel like a teenager
Is one of the alternative ending you saving Michael?
Karsten Von Fjellheim Yep.
Looks interesting, but after her last debacle I don't trust her opinion at all.
