Static Island.



<span class="bold">Oxenfree</span>, a thrilling adventure of supernatural teenager struggles, is now available for Windows and Mac, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 25% launch discount.


According to popular culture, about 86% of midnight ghost hunts end in tragedy. When teenagers are involved that number goes up by an additional 12%. But Alex and her friends are too spirited and intrepid to be fazed by cautionary statistics. And It's only after a spooky rift opens over the island's decommissioned military base and bizarre happenings start bleeding into their reality that they begin to realize this particular party may not end well. Perhaps Alex shouldn't have brought her new stepbrother along for the ride, after all…

Oxenfree gives you extensive control over your interactions with the rest of the group, as you cautiously explore the island's haunted past. Your radio will be picking up eerie signals, allowing you to communicate with otherworldly entities, some of which may not have your best interests in mind. You must navigate the ghastly horrors and complicated relationships, and witness your choice of words lead into a variety of endings which may not always fall under the classification of "happy".



Face the combined challenges of ghostly encounters and teenager anxieties in <span class="bold">Oxenfree</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 25% launch discount will last until March 20, 4:59 PM GMT.

In the press:

"OXENFREE: The emotional adventure game you need to know about" - IGN
"A mix of Freaks and Geeks, Poltergeist and the best teen films of the ’80s" – Polygon
"Part teen drama, part terrifying ghost story" – Kill Screen
I'll say this: GET THIS GAME!

The writing is superb, the atmosphere is creepy but subtle and best of all, the ending(s) will make you mad unless you are even slightly mad to begin with..(see that's how I know I was mad before as the ending made me laugh instead).
Bundle with OlliOlli?

PaterAlf: * Regional price for Oxenfree is $28.89 instead of $19.99 in GB

Is there any reason why this game costs nearly 50% more in Great Britain???
Probably an error. Wouldn't be the first time.

Great news!
This game has been on my wishlist since release but because it was only on Steam, which I consider a rental service, I was waiting for it to reach single digit (rental) prices. Now it's released DRM-free, well, I've already bought it!

Because $20 is not £20... oh wait :)

It's actually £14.99, but you get £4.60 in store credit back, so as long as buy something within a year, it was effectively for £10.

Still 1 GBP == 1 USD pricing is disgusting, kudos to GOG for compensating for the difference.
I may even buy it due to that :)

The current price on Steam is £11.24. Seems like an error.

It's clearly 1 GBP equals 1 USD pricing here; whether it's an error or not... don't care for me as long as GOG pays for the difference tbh.
Actually, this game is pretty ambitious about the teenage drama - definetaly better in dialogues than Life is Strange.
The only downside is the length - it's pretty short. There IS some replay value, but it was not enough for me to come back to it.

Anyway, I don't regret buying it and playing through. Also, I took some marvellous screenshots that will serve me as wallpapers for months to come - this game is just super-pretty.
There's a missing blue post here...
GBP pricing seems to be fixed now.

What's the price now?
On first look, I read it as Hexen free.
But...My mistake:)
Nirth, or anyone else who has played it:

How "teen drama"-y is it? It's interesting but that aspect turns me off. How long is the game?

£14.99 full, £11.29 + £ 0.90 credit -> £10.39 with discount.
Nice trailer, it must be a very atmospheric game. And from what I understand, Oxenfree is like a Telltale game (interactive story with lots of dialogue and many decisions to make) minus the QT events? Great!
