What players say

Players describe Oxenfree as a slow-paced, story-driven walking simulator with a spooky atmosphere but little danger. The dialogue timer and characters' voice acting are praised, though some find the pacing tedious and the teenagers' writing unrealistic. Split on how scary it is, with some calling it mild. Bugs like getting stuck on stairs are reported.
