Games that Deserve TV Series Adaptations
Mature stories and complex worlds deserve their own series. Game-related books have always accompanied brands like World of Warcraft, or Mass Effect, so why not switch to TV series now?

Oxenfree
Adaptation: a summer mini-series with ghosts, mystery, and thrill.
Oxenfree is one of my favorite games, hands down. Of course, not because of the gameplay, which is quite rudimentary, but because of the thoughtful and exciting storyline, which does offer some really cool secrets. The scenery, the main storyline, the ghosts, the haunted island – all this would make great material for a multi-part miniseries with some thrills.
Oxenfree in TV would be a mix of Stranger Things (I liked the third season as much as the previous one) and the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (a pretty good thing, but without any fireworks). To top things off, I'd also include more insight into teenage psychology as in Sex Education and the amazing cinematics from Euphoria, and we'd have the series of the year.
