Oxenfree II: Lost Signals

Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals is a sequel to the 2016 independent survival horror adventure game. The ?rst Oxenfree was the debut project of Night School studio, founded by former Telltale Games studio employees.

Plot

Like the releases of Oxenfree and Oxenfree 2: Lost Signal, the events presented in both games are separated by 5 years, as well as the main character. This time we control Riley, who returns to her hometown. It quickly turns out that the town called Camena has changed a lot in her absence. Riley must uncover the secret of mysterious radio signals that seem to be linked to the disturbing atmosphere of the town.

Mechanics

Like the previous installment, Oxenfree 2: Lost Signal is a 2D adventure in which we explore locations and talk to NPCs, quickly choosing from a variety of dialogue options. We also constantly solve puzzles by interacting with objects on the screen, and using the portable radio known from the first game, on which we have to set the right frequency.

Technical aspects

The graphic design of Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals does not differ from what we can see in the first part of the series. 2D locations are the background for 3D character models, and the use of special filters highlights the horror atmosphere.
