Survive the Night and Tune In to the Mysteries of Oxenfree

GLENDALE, Calif. - April 20, 2015 - PRLog -- Glendale, April 2015 - Night School Studio is proud to announce its first title, Oxenfree, a supernatural adventure game.

Rites of passage and Senior year traditions set the stage for a group of friends sneaking off to Edwards Island, an old military outpost with no phone service. Players will take on the role of Alex as she brings her new stepbrother Jonas to an overnight party gone horribly wrong.

Inspired by classic cult films like Stand by Me and Poltergeist, Oxenfree is an adventure that pulls from the past but looks to the present. “It’s a coming of age story where players control how their hero comes of age,” says Sean Krankel, co-founder of Night School. “We’re drawing on the fond and mortifying aspects of being in your late teens,and setting it against a dangerous and ghostly backdrop.”

Highlights:

·An intelligent conversation system that changes the story, your relationships, and the environment based on your decisions

·Script by Xeric Award-winning Adam Hines (Duncan the Wonderdog, The Wolf Among Us)

·A deep, mysterious radio mechanic

·An original soundtrack by scntfc (Galak-Z, Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, Fez Remixes)

·Art by Disney alum Heather Gross

·Featuring voice talent from The Wolf Among Us, The Walking Dead, Borderlands and more
