OXENFREE II: Lost Signals

Netflix, Inc.

About this game

Available exclusively for Netflix members.

Shadowy cult members. Ghostly radio signals. Spacetime portals. Investigate a dark new mystery in this interactive story game set in a familiar world.

TVs turn on and off. Planes lose radar. Radio stations can't broadcast through the static. In the small coastal town of Camena, unnaturally occurring electromagnetic waves are suddenly causing interference with electrical and radio equipment. Reluctantly, Riley Poverly returns to her hometown to investigate the mystery, but what she finds is more than she bargained for.

OXENFREE II: Lost Signals is the mind-bending follow-up to the critically-acclaimed narrative adventure game OXENFREE from Night School, a Netflix Game Studio. Play the new story as a standalone, or dive deeper into the OXENFREE universe by playing the original to find connections — it's your choice. As you play, you'll shape the story through your choices. How you choose to deal with the supernatural events at hand will forever alter the future in this thrilling story.

YOUR CHOICES MATTER

• Shape everything through your conversations and dialogue choices: Forge a deep friendship with an old acquaintance from high school or opt to ignore a lost fisherman in need.

• Your choices influence who Riley becomes, your relationships and the story options available to you.

START CHATTER FROM ANYWHERE

• Use an all-new walkie talkie conversation system to chat with contacts and uncover useful insights about the mysteries of Camena. Ask for info, check in with the locals, or completely ignore them. It's your call to make — and your choices have consequences.

STOP A MYSTERIOUS CULT

• Five years ago on nearby Edwards Island, a few teenagers unwittingly opened a portal, creating a rift between realities and timelines. Now, members of a mysterious cult-like group called Parentage are deliberately trying to open a new portal to pull something out. Who are they? What do they want? Are they trying to contact ghosts?

TUNE-IN TO THE RADIO

• Ghostly signals are piercing through the frequencies of Camena. Tap into the eerie sounds and static using OXENFREE's signature radio mechanic.

• Communicate with the supernatural, manipulate the world and travel to the past by tuning into time tears: unnatural fissures in the time-space continuum.

SAVE EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING

• Your future was on the line in OXENFREE and those stakes are even higher in the story of OXENFREE II.

• Explore, climb and rappel across Camena’s beautifully treacherous landscape. Take risks and see where the story takes you. It might be dangerous and scary. But it could also save the future. Not only for Riley but for everyone.

Ratings and reviews

Even though the game is not as narratively strong as the first, the plot is still engaging, the supporting characters are enjoyable, and the scares are better. There are several small issues. The collectibles and map are both difficult to read, mostly because you're unable to zoom in. Also, sometimes, an area transition indicates a conversation will continue, and it will not after the load screen. Besides these issues, this game is worth a download for a short entertaining story.

While not as strong as the first, Oxenfree 2 still managed to tell a captivating story with some great writing and beautiful background art. Less horror and more think piece, but all around a worthwhile experience. I did experience a game breaking bug but submitted a QA ticket and it was patched within a week. Also, if you run into any issues, reinstalling the game won't delete your saved game file and may fix the problem.

The additional star is because this is a great game! But the choices on Netflix's part, or rather the lack thereof, make the game a headache to play. The movement controls like to glitch to random spots, text on collectibles is too small to read without straining, and it burns through my battery something AWFUL. I couldn't even complete the game because the ability to switch channels doesn't work on anything besides the radio which basically removes whole storylines of the game. The port is bad
