It's natural to assume that things you do in the past could have unintended results in the future, although I haven't actually seen that happen.

And you could, if you wanted to, disagree and make the jump. Jacob will advise caution in some situations, pointing out that it's safer to climb down a cliff and go the long way around than it is to leap a gap. On the other side of it everything was a tea-stained golden colour, the mine was still operational, and I could use a now-working lift to get outta there.Īs with Oxenfree, your choices matter. All my scrambling down ropes and up rock walls came to naught, but by manipulating radio waves I was able to step through a rip and into the past. Oxenfree II is a bit more open ended in the routes you can take around levels, and in this case I found myself - that is Riley, who I controlled, and Jacob tagging along - stuck in some underground tunnels that were once part of a working mine network. Practically speaking this means that you use the time tears to navigate traversal puzzles. Riley and Jacob are investigating some strange radio signals and a weirdo cult (both required elements for a supernatural thriller), and Riley discovers she can open tears through time. The main characters in Oxenfree II are Riley and Jacob, who are actual adults rather than teens out for highjinks and fun. And even if you did play the first game, it's possible that Oxenfree II will be more thrilling and unsettling to you now, five years later. And although it's directly related to the first game, the characters and happenings in Oxenfree II are distinct enough that it's going to be accessible if you're new to the series. Good thing remains good! In a world where sequels to beloved media seem to only get progressively worse, I'll happily take it (especially since this one is a Netflix-published project now).

A 2D, side-on supernatural thriller with radios. I know that's very boring, but it's also positive, isn't it? Oxenfree was good, and Oxenfree II looks to be doing those same things that made Oxenfree good. I have now played through a small bit of the game, a slightly extended version of the area I saw in the hands off preview, and my analysis is. Seeing as how the first game made its way to Xbox, Xbox Game Pass, and even Games with Gold, it feels likely but we will have to wait and see.When I got a hands off look at Oxenfree II: Lost Signals, my analysis was that it looked a lot like Oxenfree and therefore if you liked Oxenfree you would like this. During the preview event, I asked if an Xbox version was planned for release at a later date, and was informed that the development team would like to put the game on as many platforms as possible.
OXENFREE II LOST SIGNALS PC
Oxenfree II: Lost Signalsis currently scheduled to release sometime in 2022 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC (via Steam). It looked great when it was first announced and the early demo footage looks even better, so my mind is awash with ideas of what the team will do with the extra time. Oxenfree II was aiming to release later this year, but like many other games, a delay was necessary to apply the finishing touches. Though it remains unclear exactly how everything will tie together, it’s certainly an interesting way to connect stories and encourage players to check out the first game in the series.
OXENFREE II LOST SIGNALS PATCH
That’s right - despite being over five years old, the first Oxenfree recently received a patch that ties into the world and story of Lost Signals. During the presentation, it was revealed that rather than having these “connections” appear in the second game, the team instead chose to put them into the first game. While we don’t have a ton of details at this point in time, it seems Lost Signals is connected to the first game, which developer Night School Studio said will be done in a rather interesting way.
