Oxenfree, an adventure game with supernatural elements, available on Linux

This well-received indie title has been ported over to Linux. Combining plenty of elements of 80s teen movies and packaging them in a polished adventure, Oxenfree may be worth checking out if you’re a fan of adventure games.


This is a game that was actually available earlier this month but fell through the cracks news-wise.

It seems that Oxenfree answers the question of what would happen if you brought the premise of a summertime adventure with teens with spooky happenings from the realm of movies and turned it into a game. The visuals are interesting and the soundtrack seems appropriate for its overall vibe. For what it’s worth, there’s also a cast of professional voice actors that help bring life to the characters. Most interesting is the claim that the choices made by the player affect both the story and character relationships with the player. Adventure games tend to get a little stale once you beat them, so it’s good to know that there’s potential replay value with new storylines and endings available on subsequent playthroughs.
