A critically acclaimed narrative adventure game is now available for Netflix members. OXENFREE, created by Night School Studio, captured the eyes of the gaming community upon its initial 2016 release. As the release date for its sequel draws closer, the developers at Night School Studio welcomed the series’ first entry into a streaming platform. OXENFREE: Netflix Edition is now available to download on iOS and Android devices for Netflix members, with no ads or in-app purchases, with its launch on September 24, 2022. Netflix members will be able to experience the eccentric and reality-bending story in the palms of their hands. Sean Krankel, co-founder and studio director at Night School Studio, expressed his excitement towards OXENFREE’s launch at Netflix games studio.
“OXENFREE is such a special game to so many people and launching on Netflix is a really exciting opportunity for us to introduce Alex’s story to even more people – maybe even someone who never thought they’d love playing a game,” said Krankel. “As a Netflix games studio, we have the best support to bring OXENFREE: Netflix Edition to a global audience. Our community has requested subtitles in additional languages for a long time and this release of OXENFREE: Netflix Edition truly delivers the best narrative experience for players worldwide in their local language.”
OXENFREE tells the story of Alex, a bright, rebellious teenager who brings her new stepbrother Jonas to an overnight party on Edwards Island, an abandoned military island. The night takes a terrifying turn when the group of friends unwittingly open a ghostly rift spawned from the island’s cryptic past. Players determine every aspect of Alex’s story while exploring Edwards Island through critical dialogue choices. What’s simmering just beneath the hauntingly beautiful veneer of Edwards Island will forever change the future and the past. OXENFREE: Netflix Edition is available to download in the Netflix App from Google Play and the App Store.
OXENFREE’s Netflix edition will give Netflix members access to “…highly requested localization support” exclusively at launch.
