OXENFREE: Netflix Edition

Are you kidding? Deleted.

this game is amazing and so is the second one please continue to make games like these sooooooo goood

It’s been a while since I thoroughly enjoyed a horror game. Though, this was more eerie than actually scary, but playing this alone in my pitch black room at 2am in the morning, headphones on really helped with the creepiness factor. I never planned on okaying this anytime soon since I’m a broke college student and you’d have to pay for this on steam, but I’m just gonna say. I’m glad I’m on my parents family plan because otherwise I would have never been able to experience this masterpiece. The story was beautifully structured, I love games where your decisions greatly affect the outcome, and I’ve played through this twice, and I was still enraptured. Dialogue changes on your second play though enough that you don’t really get tired of it (I played a second time the moment I completed my first play through). I loved the characters, though some felt harder to navigate around, but that just makes it more realistic. I did have some issues with how the MC sometimes stops moving when I try to go a certain place, but it normally either gets fixed if I just kind of swipe my fingers around the screen (sometimes angrily) or if I just restart the game. I’m still giving a five star though because it was few and far between for me, and I still really loved the game itself. Okay I’ll stop gushing about this game now, and conclude it with: I highly recommend this game.

I really wanted to play this game through, the graphics were beautiful and the storyline was intriguing. However I couldn't make it past 10pm as the climbing mechanic in the cave broke the game. Jonas kept getting stuck and the main character did as well when trying to move past climbing walls. It made it extremely frustrating to play to a point where I just gave up and deleted the app because I was sick of having to constantly restart the chapter due to a lack of a frequent save option. The movement mechanics need to be fixed immensely before the game can be fully enjoyable and an option to save at any point in the chapter is also needed. Also the music is FAR too loud and drowns out the voices in the game, a simple fix would be to add a volume slider in the options to turn this down. I really wanted to see this game to the end but unfortunately with these frustrating mechanics I cannot enjoy it.

So basically this game is so interesting but sadly u will be needing a Netflix account to join but luckily I finished it before it was on Netflix!

I played this 2 times and ITS NOW ONE OF THE BEST GAMES IVE EVER PLAYED🤩I hope Netflix makes more of these type of games in the future!

So fun and intriguing. 10/10 I found myself playing the game a little too much but I regret nothing. Those were the best hours I’ve ever spend in a game. The plot is good, the dynamics are good, and so is the fact that there are multiple endings to work on. I just wished there were more games like this.

I loved it! The only issue was that there was no save button and my game kept on glitching out and when I’d get rid of the tab and play the game again I’d have to restart from wayyyy before where I was originally and my -1000000 patience cannot restart again and again.(sorry about no punctuation 😅)

Overall I really enjoyed this game. I was expecting more of a scary element. I found the scariness to be akin to a goosebumps book, when I want fear street. I hoped for a scary fatal-frame style, to be included in the horror genre. Gore isn’t necessary, but suspense and music pairing is essential. I would have liked more puzzles. I found the game incredibly simplistic. I am looking forward to the sequel, as it seems some new features have been added. Despite wanting more, the game as itself is decent. I found it very relaxing for the most part. The story was quite beautiful. I loved the use of the radio, in the future, you could potentially include various stations akin to an EMF, which allegedly allows spirits to speak through it. Might add to the creepiness factor. What I really disliked, which is why I am only giving 4 stars, is the music. At times it drowns out the talking.This can easily be solved by allowing the user to adjust the volume. I did not find the music added any spooky element, and at times was simply overpowering.

Good game but I hate how Netflix is starting to use there wealth to bully a subscription out consumers in anyway they can. We used to be able to purchase this game on iOS and we should still be able to. Unfortunately now anyone who cares about it with an iPad has to pay rent to use it. Companies like Netflix and Spotify that do this might get an idea of how many new subscribers they get by making content exclusive to there platforms, but I’m not sure they’re taking into account how much money they’re losing simply because people don’t like them anymore. I used to subscribe to Netflix all year round, now I only subscribe to them once a year, because I feel guilty about giving money to a company like Netflix who refuse to treat customers fairly by making there content purchasable in digital stores. I keep Subscriptions on like Paramount+ on all year around even though I barely use it, because they’re not greedy jerks like Netflix, and I’d much rather live in the world were company’s that are willing to treat people fairly are successful. I used to love Netflix in the 2010s, now I’d love to see them go out of business, and I’m embarrassed I was one of the customers that helped them reached the level of success there at today.
