I’m still not entirely sure what’s going on in Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals, but that is also kind of the point of these games. In the sequel, new protagonist Riley has recently moved back to Camena and is helping an environmental organization study signals in the area alongside fellow local Jacob Summers - and whatever it is, it’s interacting with the strangeness back on the original Oxenfree’s Edwards Island.
Having recently played roughly the first 30 minutes of Oxenfree 2 at Summer Game Fest 2023, the mystery at the center of the game from developer Night School Studio and Netflix is, as with the first one, immediately compelling. I don’t know where it goes or whether the resolution is worth the ride, but I am willing to find out.
