Oxenfree 2 Gameplay Shows Off Portals & Alternate Timelines
screenrant.comIt looks like the team at Night School Studio is expanding its time looping shenanigans with portals to alternate timelines in Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals, with new gameplay and details revealed. This new backstage peek at the follow-up to 2016’s Oxenfree was shown at the Tribeca Games Showcase portion of this year’s Summer Games Festival. Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals debuted at Nintendo’s Indie World showcase in 2021.
In the first Oxenfree, players engaged in a dynamic dialogue-driven graphical adventure starring a girl named Alex who accidentally releases a supernatural force with her old radio, trapping herself and her friends inside a time loop. The dialogue choices made by the player and the manner in which they respond (i.e., responding after someone finishes speaking or interrupting them) directly affected not only Alex's relationships with them but the outcome of their fates in the game's final events. On the flip side of the gameplay, players utilize Alex's radio frequencies to interact with the paranormal forces and solve the puzzles brought on by the temporal disturbances. In Oxenfree 2, players control newcomer Riley as she investigates the neighboring coastal town of Camena five years after the previous game. With Oxenfree 2, Night School Studio hopes to expand upon all aspects of the first game including dialogue options, puzzle-solving, and, of course, the time mechanics of the temporal disturbances.
