Sometimes it’s hard to see the forest because you’re looking at each tree. After you ship a game, I think you’re so close to all of the flaws of it or the strange things that might stand out to you as being a little bit off, or you just notice all the individual parts. SK: I think it’s been vital, honestly, because we can look at the game and we can see it a little more similarly to how people who just bought it for the first time could see it. You mentioned distance from the first game – how important has that been to the creation of the sequel? But we’re really happy with where we’re headed. We didn’t want to just put out Oxenfree II for the sake of doing it, and it took us a few years to find that story. But also because we want to tell a story worth telling. So, in short, yeah, I think the pressure comes partially because we want to live up to what the fans of the first game would want from one of these games. let us tell a brand new story with a lot of the same rule set from the first game, but without making it feel like we were making a Scooby-Doo adventure with a bunch of characters going and doing the same stuff again. I think that when we looked through what made Oxenfree special – now that we have had some distance from it – I think it’s mostly because it is a game that takes people that are going through a really important moment in their life, and it holds up a very strange, dark, surreal mirror to them, and forces them to reckon with a lot of coming-of-age events in a very short period of time in a very scary and surreal way. Which is why I think for us, it was important that we didn’t just do a continuation of the last one. But because we really just adore that story and didn’t want to return to it unless there was a reason to tell a new story in it. And not just because it ended up being received so well. The original game was something of an indie darling, everybody seems to know of it – does that make for pressure in creating a sequel? And, well, there are still some questions.īewitched by the sense of wonder and wishing to find out more about the mysteries within Oxenfree II, we sat down for a chat with Sean Krankel, studio director at Night School Studio, and Adam Hines, the studio’s lead writer. If almost anyone else came up pitching the idea of a woman reconnecting with her roots, encountering old friends, and chatting with strangers on walkie-talkies mixed with time portals… well, you’d at least have a few questions to ask. But there’s a confidence in the air around Oxenfree II, the sort of thing that comes when a team like Night School Studio builds off the back of an incredible success like the first game in the series.
It’s a fine thread to weave, mixing a near-universal nostalgia with a coming-of-age tale featuring a cast largely aged 30-plus – and on top of that featuring a supernatural, existential threat. Small-town ambience anyone from that sort of place knows well. She’s back for a job, returning to her roots and forced to confront not just the giant portal looming over the town, but also her past. This time around, players take on the role of new protagonist Riley, a 30-something who grew up in Oxenfree II’s setting, the town of Camena, before leaving to find her way in life. It’s the same atmosphere – the same vibe – there’s plenty of supernatural goings-on, you’ll be chatting a lot (with wonderfully written dialogue), and the story itself picks up not too long after the events of the first game.
