Hey guys, please check out part 2 of my playthrough of the smash-hit supernatural thriller, Oxenfree! I hope you enjoy it :)

Hey guys. Please check out my playthrough of this awesome supernatural thriller! This is part 1, I hope you enjoy the video :)

Turning off internet connection seemed to fix the problem that many people have, where the game crashes when it has to load the second scene.

This game is incredible, both in terms of setup and gameplay. One of the things I really loved about the first one was the first-class support for Linux. Deeply disappointed the second one has none; I was looking forward to seeing how the story is extended but now can never play it.

I finally got around to playing this (on my steam deck) and had a great (spooky) time!

how does the game know my real name?:>

trying to replay this on my new computer (windows) but for some reason it closes every time i enter the cave. gonna try uninstalling and reinstalling, i guess

...well this time i didn't even get off the boat before it crashed

(+1)

I played this on ps4 and it's absolutely a must play for anyone who likes a good story.

This game crashes at the end of the beginning boat scene every time, I've tried three times. Ren talks about why they brought radio even if it doesn't work on the island then SPLAT... like I was just starring at desktop the whole time.

(+2)

please update the game it crashed after the first scene

Thank you for gifting Oxenfree to the itch.io racial justice bundle back in 2020. Got a chance to play it and it's an A+ game. So many things to love about it. Wrote a review on my gaming website.

This game has a very compelling story which I love. I love how you give narrative through each character. Its a unique way to bring an interactive story telling experience.

(+2)

really interested in this game, but i am having the same issue many other commenters mention: no matter how many times i launch the game, it crashes after the first scene as the ferry arrives at the island. it's a big disappointment; i've been saving this game for a special treat after getting it in the racial justice bundle last year! was really looking forward to it! pls update!! thank you devs

(+2)

I understand you're probably really busy with the sequel comming soon and that a lot of us here got the game in the Racial Justice and Equality bundle so we didn't actually pay for the game but can you please consider updating the game here to the lateste version that's on steam? There's not only new radio frequency's audio but also a fix for the crashing.

(+6)(-1)

Ten months on, & there still doesn't seem to be a patch to the game. Despite the cool concept & the amazing visuals, this game is utterly & completely unplayable due to a crash that happens every single time when you reach the first loading screen. Usually, I wouldn't be this harsh, but this has been a persistent issue that's plaguing multiple players & not a single response has been issued. This is irresponsible & shows a lack of care towards the community from the devs. Suffice to say, I'm unlikely to buy any more of your games if THIS is the response players get to such a game-breaking bug

(+4)

The current version here is v2.7.1f5. 

When do you plan to update to v3.1.1 like it is on Steam?

(+3)

Please update this game so it does not crash after the first scene or provide us with a way to prevent the crash. Many people have not been able to play Oxenfree because they cannot get past the first scene.

(+3)

it crashes at the first loading screen :(

(+1)

Really want to see the new update here!

(+1)

does this have the recent 3.1.1 patch?

(+2)

Could you upload the Google Play APK to here? itch.io supports Android games, and the Mitch client could be used to easily install them.

pt-br?

I was really excited to play this game, but sadly it seems I won't be able to. I have a sensory processing disorder and I cannot understand, choose, and select a dialogue option in the absurdly short time provided. This seems like a rather egregious oversight, as I'm sure it would also be an issue for non-native English speakers and Deaf/HoH people. I'm really disappointed that this game is so inaccessible. Devs, I know this is an older game, but please consider patching in a way to slow down or freeze the dialogue timer, as well as control mapping. These are basic accessibility functions, and I can't imagine they would be all that hard to implement.

(+6)(-1)

Yeah, just finished the game and can't agree more with this.
I truly struggled in some parts of it without counting the many dialogues I had to drop off "unanswered".

I want to believe the "countdown" it's meant to be part of the "gameplay", but this shouldn't prevent it from having some minimal and much needed accessibility options.

(+2)

I've played this before and loved it but unfortunately I'm having the issue where it crashes every loading screen or whenever it tries to save, which is really annoying as I was so excited to play again!

(+1)

To absolutely no ones surprise, this is a fantastic adventure game. The mood reminds me of the Stranger Things teen mystery horror, and it does a great job using that foundation to tell an gripping story about 5 teenagers stumbling into some supernatural trouble. The dialogue and voice work is fantastic, easily drawing you in and its a cool touch to use the conversation mechanics to steer the development of the ingame relationships. Its beautiful, has an intriguing story, a fantastic soundtrack and a ton of secrets to explore. Granted, you need to appreciate slower paced games, but as far as those go, its easily one of the best in the bundle. 5/5

Will Oxenfree 2 be released on itch as well? Also what about Afterparty?

really cool game, thank you to all involved. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

My review's marked as a chapter. Really enjoyed the game (obviously, as I played it in two super long streams xD ) despite some minor things I didn't like. Thank you for your work <3

(+3)

Overall a cool experience, very addictive (I finished it all in one go lol). I have some issues with the dialogue- at the beginning in particular there was no time to choose your answers, and there are also several points with huge gaps between characters talking. It felt like this got better as the game went on, but I don't know if this was just me getting used to how fast I had to make choices. 

(+1)

I got this game in a bundle and it definitely made the bundle worthwhile, I enjoyed it. However, for me, the biggest pitfalls were: the slowness of navigating through the radio, especially the one with the larger dial; physically moving around was slow too, if you went in a straight line on flat ground Alex would jog, otherwise, she slows down; not having more end stats, I feel like I made quite a lot of decisions in the game that're probably different to how others might have done things, but I only got told how my relationships with a few people compared, I would have liked to have seen how many got which ending for example; also the replayability failed for me. MINOR SPOILERS, when you get to the end, you can restart the game and it's not like restarting a regular game, there are differences. But I've played a while and these are so small so far it just feels boring. I love that concept I just wish they'd made it more engaging.

I got this game on Steam as well. 

It was a cool experience, although I feel like the story was “dragging on” at some points. 

I got a interesting ending too.

If you want people to check out your channel, you can just say that. It doesn't look good otherwise.

Any plans on bringing Afterparty to Itch.io ?

(+1)

For Linux users out there, ./play.it now has support for the itch.io version of Oxenfree.

(+3)

loved this! the characters and the relationships all felt so realised  and i think the ending's gonna haunt me. anywayyy i gotta go replay the game and get the other endings now (and probably end up wiping a few tears away again)

God damn is this game boring as fuuuck! I normally absolutely adore story-driven/character-driven stories, I've played both Night in the Woods, and What Remains of Edith Finch, but holy hell. The worst thing about this game is the dialogue writing and the voice acting. People were complimenting the voice acting in this, but I found all of the characters to be very phony sounding. They talk about NOTHING for 80 percent of this game, and it's not a humorous or charming nothing, no, it's absolutely boring. The dialogue choice go by a little too quickly, and that becomes even worse when dialogue overlaps and interrupts one another. Honestly I had no idea what anyone was saying half the time.

I will say, the art style is pretty good, albeit a little jarring at times. I like the premise and the music, but the execution of everything is as if someone threw this together in Unity and called it a day.

Not really worth the price.

(+7)(-5)

Honestly the dialogue and voice acting were fine. I guess we were playing different games because this comment is hateful. 👎

(1 edit) (+4)(-5)

There is a difference between "hate" and criticism, friend. Also play What Remains of Edith Finch, and you'll see much better voice acting. It's not even that the acting is bad, it's announcer-like, almost like watching a 90s cartoon as 20 year olds act as teens.

(+7)(-1)

I didn’t see the issues you saw and don’t consider it boring so agree to disagree. 🤷🏻‍♂️

(+2)(-4)

That's alright! I'm glad we found common ground instead of completely disregarding someone else's opinion as "hateful"!

(+6)

i'd say 90% of your comment could count as criticsm, albeit not super constructive, but starting off a comment with "God damn is this game boring as fuuuck!" does come across pretty hateful.

(+14)

saying "goddamn, this game is boring as fuck" is definitely not just criticism. That's needlessly hateful.

(-2)

Rageur.

see some other people on here talking about the same issue awhile ago but I can't get past the first scene without the game crashing. I would really like to play

I've loved the game! the ending still haunts me
