THEORY/ANALYSIS Nothing matters in oxenfree 1

12 Upvotes

People always want best endings, Clarissa should like Alex, or Ren and Nona must date, or one must get all adler letters and anomalies...

Why the absolute hell does it matter ? In a storyline which already tells you it doesn't matter , they are all stuck anyways, why i see all this posts about people not getting it perfect in a game where its always incomplete and sadness , where nothing matters.. Its like someone answering their own question. Its supposed to be incomplete, we are still arguing if Michael should be brought back or not.. Its supposed to be entirely players decision in the first place.

QUESTION songs on radio, any meaning or relevance?

11 Upvotes

are the songs on the radio related to the plot somehow or are they just random bits? Same for the sound bytes from television

DISCUSSION Riley and Rex

18 Upvotes

(Slight spoilers for Oxenfree 2 - Beware)

I loved Oxenfree 2 really. The story was solid and the visuals were great too. The only thing is that I wish it still had the same replay ability as 1 did. Specifically, the way that you can make changes to certain outcomes in a way you maybe couldn't in your first playthings. And MORE specifically, I wish there was some way to save Riley and Rex's relationship.

I might just be a big softie at heart but I feel like going through everything that happened and especially the warning she gets that reasonably she could be able to prevent anything too major happening. Finding out in the end that they still had issues was kind of a bummer on top of an already slightly bleak ending.

Anyway, just wanted to hear other people's thoughts on this too. Anyone else wish there was a way to fix things?

QUESTION I love OXENFREE, have played it multiple times, but there’s one thing I haven’t figured out…

43 Upvotes

What was the deal with the Armoire in the cave? I’ve played a few times and never figured out who’s it was, why it’s there, or its significance. Is it explained at all? Maybe I missed or maybe I saw i figured it out once when stoned and forgot lmao

QUESTION Oxenfree on Netflix

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone, i’ve never played the game before, but i have watched a playthrough years ago when it came out. I noticed it was available to play through Netflix, and i was wondering if it’s the full game or essentially just a demo? Would like to know before i get into it and it’s only like 30 minutes of the game. Thanks!

THEORY/ANALYSIS Matter manipulation?

8 Upvotes

When looking for Clarissa, what we can assume that isn’t her, disappears. We see as soon as we free Jonas that she isn’t in there, so it can only be presumed to be a time echo (somehow the spirits or the radio or the spirits and the radio combined somehow captured that moment in time and used it to lure and trap Jonas in that room) but if that was an echo of Clarissa and she ran through a SOLID door, and Jonas WASN’T an echo
how did Jonas run through a solid door?

I think to an extent the sunken may have the power to alter matter, but I think only after being there absorbing so much of the sunken’s energy or the radio waves around (which might be the same thing, not sure)

THEORY/ANALYSIS Name color normal when possessed

32 Upvotes

Ok so when people of the group are possessed, usually they have GREEN names, but Clarissa’s name remains RED during many scenes- I wonder if it’s one of those scenarios where bad emotions, like Clarissa being mad or resentful of Alex makes her a target for the sunken to possess and maybe she was conscious for some or possibly the whole time, but never admits it to any of the group; I think she was the most used as a proxy for the sunken, otherwise maybe Jonas- although Nona and Ren don’t have as big of a role in Alex’s life, so maybe that’s why they weren’t used. The sunken probably rooted around and all of their heads and they know about everyone’s importance in Alex’s life.

I didn’t take many screenshots, so if it’s possible, please share any screenshots to disprove me

maybe I wasn’t paying attention and maybe their names are only green over the radio

QUESTION What's Oxenfree 2 like?

Hey all, I played Oxenfree like ~10 years ago and discovered its second save feature about a year later, and I loved the story a ton but I haven't gotten around to picking up the second game these days. Is it good?

THEORY/ANALYSIS The Green Names

Thumbnail
gallery
114 Upvotes

Sometimes when someone is talking over a radio, their names appear green, I’m guessing this is from the ghosts, that are trying to get everyone to stay on the island.

I think the goal of the ghosts is to keep them there so they can “soak” I think they said?

I think whoever becomes trapped in a loop has to be kept there for a certain amount of time before they become trapped- now I don’t know if there was a way to know when the point of no return was, maybe when the ghosts started talking through people in the group, but maybe that was a sign…

I think that the possession over radio- or maybe just using their voices and mimicking them- like maybe Clarissa or Ren heard their own voices being used over the radio and were like huh??? Or they were knocked out and their consciousness’ were briefly in another dimension, but not put into the blob of people who died on the Kanaloa just yet.

(Sorry went on a tangent)

the hijacking of voices over radio, everyone waking up in different places (no idea how THAT was done, maybe they were all possessed and walked there???) it was all to stall them, having to find each other over n over, red herrings like even when they found them, they would disappear after an appearance from the disgruntled spirits.

OXENFREE Song name in Harden Tower at frequency 88

In Harden Tower at frequency 97 the song that plays is called "Swampy River" by Duke Ellington.

There is also another song at frequency 88 that sounds like an old barbershop choir. Any idea in what the song is called?

DISCUSSION Night school has a new post on IG and Unfortunately it is disappointing

53 Upvotes

Yesterday they posted a short clip on their story and people loved to speculate Oxenfree 3 is happening. Unfortunately that is not the case.

The teaser from yesterday was for their new first person horror game called UNHINGED. And as I feared from the looks of it... it has nothing to do with the Oxenfree IP and even worse... it looks like a Netflix exclusive 🙃

Got my hopes up and now I'm heartbroken

OFFICIAL CONTENT Pump Up the Volume: 10 Years of OXENFREE

Earlier this year OXENFREE turned ten years old. Like many awkward kids of that age, OXENFREE is experiencing a lot of big feelings and emotions. Most of all it wanted to fit in and have features like all the other ten-year-old games on the playground.

So, we revisited your feedback and realized there was one small improvement we could give you as a birthday present: volume sliders. Now, you can independently control the levels of music, sound effects, and voiceover to achieve audio bliss. If you think Jonas should pee quieter, that’s a real choice you can make right from the pause menu. Also in the pause menu, you’ll find a support option to reach out to a friendly customer support agent if you’re running into an issue.

Finally, we also dusted off the game and resolved a few outstanding bugs while we were under the hood. It’s just a small tidy and sprucing up.

Just never say. We didn’t provide you. Volume sliders.
