Lost Signals Becomes Even Spookier and More Chatty

Spirit of the Radio: Oxenfree II: Lost Signals

Oxenfree captures the essence of summer with its in-between moments and emotional turmoil. Now, its sequel, Oxenfree II: Lost Signals, brings a haunted summer gig to life.

In this new installment, set five years after the first game, Riley Poverly returns to the coastal town of Camena. The game starts off with a summer job vibe, as you set up radio transmitters around the town to investigate strange radio signals. However, things quickly take a dark turn, with supernatural phenomena and portals opening in the sky.

This eerie yet relatable theme is a hallmark of the Oxenfree series. Characters not only grapple with the supernatural events but also confront their own inner ghosts. The gameplay revolves around the walk-and-talk mechanic, where you explore Camena while engaging in meaningful conversations with other characters. This interaction is further enhanced in Oxenfree II by the addition of a walkie talkie, allowing you to communicate with other characters at any time.

The walkie talkie feature adds depth to the dialogue, immerses you in the game’s world, and showcases the analog technology that is a central theme in the series. The deliberate act of pushing buttons and turning knobs despite the weirdness happening around you contributes to the tension and horror of Oxenfree.

Night Terrors Await

While Oxenfree II isn’t a jump-scare horror game, it brings a surreal and creepy atmosphere that will make you question what’s happening on your screen. It’s the kind of horror that slowly creeps in, making you question shadows and wonder what’s lurking just beyond your view.

Alongside the supernatural elements, Oxenfree II also offers moments of downtime where you can get to know the characters better. These moments are filled with sincerity and social awkwardness, capturing the essence of unexpected coworker interactions.

The game’s central mystery revolves around the return of the radio portals and the events of the first game on Edwards Island. However, details remain speculative for now.

Although I only played the first 30 minutes of Oxenfree II: Lost Signals, it was more than enough to leave me eager for more. Night School’s ability to blend gameplay and writing around intriguing topics is evident in this sequel, which delivers an immersive narrative adventure experience.

If you’re ready to explore Camena and uncover the secrets of Edwards Island, the wait won’t be long. Oxenfree II: Lost Signals releases on July 12 for PC, Switch, PlayStation, and Netflix.
