Rik: Which obviously means I get thousands of e-mails about sales.

They occasionally throw in free games during the sales if you sign up to their newsletter. Rik: No, just general applause and indie vibes. Jo: Had you seen anything about Oxenfree before it made it onto the list? At the end of which I then obsessively seek out coverage. Rik: I read reviews or news pieces, think ‘oh, that might be good’, then forget about it all until I play the game. I just want to know enough to be intrigued and then go in from there. Not that I think small details will spoil things necessarily, but even if I read about a game, or see a trailer, I kind of don’t become fully engaged in what it is until I actually get into playing it myself. Rik: I prefer to go in cold with games in this series. Jo: Yeah, there aren’t any inventory object puzzles which is possibly where it differs from point and click, but it’s got a very similar feel to it. Rik: I think I had it down as more of a point and click adventure than it ended up being. But possibly more in that arena than the likes of Gone Home etc. It’s a bit more talky, clicky, walky than, say, Neo Cab. Jo: I think it had been on my list to cover, but didn’t fit into the walking sim category, and I had fond memories of playing it. Rik: It was released in 2016, which I consider new in game terms but also a million years ago in all other respects. Jo: It was! And yes, I played it a few years ago. Rik: So this one was your choice, I believe! And you had played it before. Here’s your ***FINAL SPOILER WARNING*** for the discussion below. Other than giving Oxenfree a broad recommendation, that’s all we want to say for now.
This year’s gathering, as it turns out, isn’t so well attended, and the kids instead choose to investigate rumours of spooky goings on, a decision which has… consequences. You are Alex, one of a group of teenagers taking an evening trip to Edwards Island, a local site of historical interest and venue for the annual illicit party of school leavers. Today’s item under consideration is Oxenfree, developed by Night School Studios, and released in 2016. Be careful, though, there are spoilers, so you might want to check out the game first. If you like fairly rambling discussions about indie adventures with a story, you’re in the right place.

Hello once again and welcome to Discussion: (spoilers!), a series with a title that should be self-explanatory but which still prompts me to attempt further elaboration at the top of each and every piece.
