“As a Netflix games studio, we have the best support to bring Oxenfree: Netflix Edition to a global audience. “Oxenfree is such a special game to so many people and launching on Netflix is a really exciting opportunity for us to introduce Alex’s story to even more people – maybe even someone who never thought they’d love playing a game,” said Sean Krankel, co-founder and studio director at Night School Studio, in a statement. Throughout the game, players choose every aspect of Alex’s story while exploring the island through dialogue choices. The night then takes a turn when the group of friends unintentionally open a ghostly rift spawned from the island’s cryptic past. The game sees players take on the role of Alex, a rebellious teenager who brings her new stepbrother Jonas to an overnight party on Edwards Island, which is an abandoned military island. The Netflix edition of the game includes no ads or in-app purchases, and also adds localization support. Oxenfree was originally launched in 2016 and was Night School’s debut title.
The launch of the game comes a year after Netflix acquired Night School Studio. Oxenfree: Netflix Edition is now available for Netflix subscribers to download on iOS and Android devices, the company announced at its Tudum global fan event on Saturday. Netflix is adding Oxenfree, the popular supernatural mystery thriller game created by Night School Studio, to its gaming roster.
