I liked the game overall.
The story was exciting and had me hooked. It is a mixture of coming of age, mystery and psychological horror. The technical and artistic realisation is very well done, graphics, effects, atmospheric music and sound support the story perfectly. From my point of view, however, the game also has its weaknesses, otherwise I would have given it 5 points: The controls and especially the dialogue are poorly implemented. The dialogue is hectic, jumbled and you constantly miss some information or press on too quickly because someone in the teen group is babbling irrelevantly. A systematic approach, as I usually pursue in adventure games, is almost impossible here. Moreover, the puzzles are very simple or they mostly consist of a constant and annoying running back and forth of longer distances across the island. Oxenfree is clearly a point-and-click adventure, but certainly not a classic implementation. There are refreshing, new approaches but also annoying ones. In terms of gameplay, Oxenfree is certainly aimed more at a young Generation Z audience, and less at old, dogmatic "adventure dinosaurs" like me, who grew up with more uncomfortable games like Space Quest, Maniac Mansion, etc, which were unforgiving of the smallest mistakes. Nevertheless, I quite enjoyed it and can recommend it to any adventure game enthusiast who wants to try something new.
