Great game! I played through it twice in two settings yesterday (finished regular and then NG+). Really enjoyed it, but doubt I'll do another run through.
Spoilery NG+ question:if you finish your first playthrough with Michael living, is he around as a kid in the group during the second playthrough?
Just finished this last night, first game played with a girlfriend and it was absolutely perfect. She's not super into games, just good media to absorb and she couldn't get enough. Just got a text saying she's started a new game without me while I've been at work.
Anyway, after flitting through this thread I now realise we've gotta do it again NG+ and see if we can get some more endings. Plus, I've gotta play it through without saying a word the entire game!
CANNOT recommend this thing enough, especially if you've got a hole in your heart for Stranger Things.
Wow, comparing this to Stranger Things is a huge stretch. Unlike in Stranger Things, none of the characters in Oxenfree is particularely likable.

Took me about 4-5 hours but you're going to want to play at least twiceBought this a few weeks ago and just started playing last night. Done maybe an hour - got to 11pm after. How long are we looking at for one playthrough roughly? I don't have a lot of time for gaming at the moment, so I'm doing about one hour per night.they wake up underneath the radio tower, and I'm now on my way to rescue Ren
Played it, and was meh with it. Didn't care enough about the story to go hunting for more stones or letters. Hated the fucking slow crawl back and forth across the map, and was jumping for joy when they gave me the point of no return.
Won't be diving in for a new game+.
Please spoiler that post a bit about the final. Its not that long ago.Picked this up in the humble bundle. What a perfect Halloween game! I was really impressed. I'm not one for horror, but this hit the right amounts of creepy and weird and yet had great character moments. The voice acting was fantastic!
My only complaints are movement speed and the repetition of trying to find random radio frequencies way too often. The atmosphere, the characters, the story (I love that final twist -- I'll have to give it a second playthrough next year!).
I didn't do any of the collectibles mostly because I wasn't sure how to find them. I looked them up afterward and while it is nice that I have more backstory, I'm glad they were totally optional.
I'm super excited to see what comes next out of this team. Bravo!
I completed Oxenfree last night, while i liked the game whole way through the ending left me super unsatisfied.

I saved everybody and sacrificed myself thinking that this was it, however i woke up on the ferry getting out and it seemed like the happy ending when the epilogue starts. This is what i don't get at all, the epilogue tells what your buddies did and are doing at least 1 year if not more into the future and then a time loop happens. This doesn't make any sense to me why a timeloop would happen that late after they got out, it just seems a lazy way of making a "twist" ending. The loop that happens right at the end kinda ruins the ending for me, if they really had that idea the whole way through they should have axed the epilogue.
Native or DSR? The latter doesn't work in Unity games, you can't exceed your desktop res.I can't get 4K resolution to work in this game - any one has a solution? Unity must be the culprit I could imagine

The way I understood it, the game deals with multiple timelines, not a single one. So every player and every playthrough is dealing with a separate Alex experiencing the events of the "loop". It's the reason why we meet other players in the mirrors and such. Several "Alexes" deciding different things.
What happens at the end isn't as much a loop as it is a different Alex going through the same situation. You as a player have the choice of playing again through that other timeline, or just drop the game and have the ending of that one Alex be your "true ending" so to speak.
That's the only way the epilogue can work without being nonsensical.The twist is just telling the player that there are other iterations of Alex they can help.

just finished
holy SHIT at (ending spoilers)the fact that you can save Michael. If I did that myself my mind would have been blown. Anyway I didn't let Jonas listen to the tape but that's just because my mirror Alex told me not to. Was that a different online player or is that the recommended thing to do? What happens if he does?
Also unrelated but I told possessed Clarissa at the end about a guy named Calvin but I don't remember ever finding that out? I listened to a lot of the anomalies and read only one letter
anyway the music and tense atmosphere was great but it ended a bit too neatly for my tastes
also read up the NG+ differences, that's pretty funny and fits with the game well but I don't have the patience to run through a game like this twice
At first i was thinking on somewhat similar lines but given how the other time loops happened and the effect that occurs i have a feeling that devs intended it to be taken as a new time loop.
Holy shit at the people in here who haven't heard the phrase "Ollie Ollie Oxen Free" before.
Oh dude, you need to finish a second playthrough. It's definitely worth it.Just finished this and does it seem like it continues in a second playthrough or am I losing it deja vu style? Alex's responses to feeling she's done this before? Haha! Cause that's pretty damn appropriate!
I just got told this game has a new game plus, I had no idea! OMG So I'm not losing my mind haha! One of the coolest uses of new game plus ever.Oh dude, you need to finish a second playthrough. It's definitely worth it.
Seriously. As soon as they announced they were working on a new game plus, I got really excited, because no other narrative adventure has done that and because the game would be perfect for it.I just got told this game has a new game plus, I had no idea!

The new game plus turned out to be exactly what I hoped it would be.
Still wondering if this is a thing: if you? That would be crazybring back Michael in your first ending, is he part of the group during your new game plus
