A few days from now, the skies will bubble and split apart so the supernatural thriller Oxenfree can spill out into our world and bring about the all-consuming darkness of an endless night — or it’ll seem that way to me anyway, as I sit at my desk, my eyes glued to a monitor.
Oxenfree is the first game to come out of Night School Studios, a developer founded in 2014 by industry veterans who wanted “to create a game filled with wonder, danger, and humor.” I might’ve shoved “gorgeous” in there somewhere, because it sure is pretty.
Those videos are a sampling of the creative potential that Night School’s partner and Walking Dead creator Skybound is intent to mine. There are more episodes in this behind-the-scenes web-series arriving later this week, and, in the much more distant future, we may even see a film adaptation.
Oxenfree releases on January 15 for PC and Xbox One.
