Originally released in 2016, Night School Studio\u2019s Oxenfree<\/em><\/strong> has not only received acclaim, but it still regularly has new players discovering it for the first time. The story of Oxenfree<\/em><\/a> is a bit basic on the surface, but it resonates with players because of its relatability and simplicity. Alex, the player character, is a rebellious teen coping with her own loss while getting to know her new step-brother Jonas on a secret trip gone wrong. Oxenfree<\/em> uniquely combines a coming-of-age story with the opening of a ghost rift that players must try to fix as the game progresses.<\/p>\n

As a game, Oxenfree<\/em> is deeply personal to a lot of fans. Each character introduced has their own unique personality, and when all of them are together and talking over each other, the game really shows what it\u2019s capable of. In an interview with Game Rant, Night School Studio co-founder Adam Hines discusses his own relationship with Oxenfree<\/em> and any plans the studio may have coming in the future.<\/p>\n

Oxenfree<\/em> is a unique game with a lot of replayability possibilities, which also makes it easy for players to sink into and really connect with. When asked about his own connection to Oxenfree<\/em>, Hines said that, for him, what resonates the most is the tone and atmosphere of the game. He equates the game to being \u201ctold like a campfire story<\/a>,\u201d which gives it a slow build for players.<\/p>\n

\n

My favorite parts of the game are when all the characters are on screen, trying to talk over each other. I think all of the mechanics really come alive in those moments.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For Hines, his connection to Oxenfree<\/em> has evolved in a unique way throughout the years since its release. He said that at the time of release, he was still mentally immersed in tying up Oxenfree<\/em>\u2019s loose ends, and especially focused on the patch that added a \u201cNew Game Plus\u201d feature when the original story was complete. Five years later, Hines says that the memory of that time is even hazier than before, and sort of serves as a time capsule for a hectic, yet very rewarding period in his life.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s also learned quite a bit since Oxenfree<\/em>\u2019s launch<\/a>. He said that at the time of release, he had \u201ca sprawling list\u201d of things he would have changed or done differently, but now looking back he doesn\u2019t remember what he would have changed if given the chance. Hines also imparted some insight into the game development process:<\/p>\n

\n

… know that the game you\u2019re planning to make will never, ever be the game you\u2019ll actually make, so it\u2019s better to figure out what the game can\u2019t be, and then what it has to be, and then just stick to that.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Hines says that he delights in seeing new people discover the game for the first time and write about it, even if they hated the game. He says it\u2019s interesting to read what people think of the game from their own playthrough and even little details that person noticed compared to someone else who might not have seen it.<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s always interesting, reading what people gleam from the game, what they like about it, what they don\u2019t, what small detail they alone appreciated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As for the future of Oxenfree<\/em>, a TV show adaptation of the game<\/a> is in the works, as it\u2019s \u201cbeing fed through the intestinal tract of the Hollywood production system.\u201d Hines was a bit more tight-lipped about Night School\u2019s upcoming projects, but says he hopes fans of Oxenfree<\/em> will also enjoy whatever comes next.<\/p>\n

Oxenfree<\/em><\/strong> is available now for\u00a0Mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.<\/p>\n
