What Makes OXENFREE: Netflix Edition Stand Out
Available exclusively for Netflix members.
A fun night partying takes a supernatural turn for the teens of Camena High. Unlock the horror, adventure and mysteries of a ghostly rift in this narrative thriller — all the choices are up to you.
The story: Alex is a bright, rebellious teenager who brings her new stepbrother, Jonas, to an overnight party on a strange, old military island. But the senior-year tradition takes a scary turn when she stumbles upon the island’s cryptic past in this World War II-inspired supernatural narrative. GamesBeat calls this award-winning thriller "a big next step for adventure games."
Play this adventure story as Alex and change the narrative with your choices in this thriller:
• Explore a haunted island: The scary secrets simmering just beneath the hauntingly beautiful veneer of Edwards Island will forever change your perception of reality. Are you ready for an adventure?
• Contact the supernatural: Rumor has it that if you stand in just the right spot, you can use a radio to tune into a scary station that doesn't exist on Edwards Island. Turn the radio dial, activating ways to save your friends and communicate with ghosts.
• Forge or destroy bonds — your choices matter: Will you encourage your best friend to ask out his crush? Can you close the distance between yourself and your new stepbrother? Be mindful — your choices will impact your relationships and inform how you tackle supernatural threats.
Create your story again and again, with multiple endings driven by your narrative choices.
- Developed by Night School Studio, a Netflix games studio.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Honestly its really good, we randomly like downloading games and this one actually had us play through the first one and the second one.
The writers for this game are seriously phenomenal! We have played through this game a few times over the years but we remember it being particularly meaningful to us in a time where we were dealing with a season of grief as a teenager. We found ourselves really relating to Alex a lot and shed some tears over this game. We would definitely recommend anyone to play this if they love a good storyline and spooky sci-fi elements.
We like how one ending you can just skip the ferry and go get pizza.
Perfect for fabs of Night in the Woods and Disco Elysium.
Such a creative way to tell a story. Has fantastic replayability. We want to see how Alexs actions affect other characters throughout the story. The game is short enough that this feels feasible, too. Not too short, though. All in all, a unique and fantastic experience.
This game was actually so enjoyable. Its a mix of horror and mystery and you get to decide what happens! We love how much effort is put into this game and all the different photos. We spent maybe 4-5 hours playing our first game and honestly it was worth it. We would literally get a netflix subscription for this game. If anybody sees this GET THE GAME RIGHT NOW ITS SO FUN.
There is just too much unnecessary walking.
This game is amazing! The storyline was awesome, very interactive but only responded to your selections. This was our first time playing a storytelling game. We highly recommend.
This game was actually incredible, we finished it in about 4 days because we were just so into it! We usually dont like horror, but it was just perfectly spooky without being so unsettling it was difficult to sleep. It didnt fall into any of the annoying tropes either. We highly recommend.
We love it so much, this is the best game ever we play it everyday. We love the suspense and the storyline,its just SO AMAZING!!!! Keep up the great work.
We have never written a game review before but this game is AMAZING! Ive played it about three times now and the amount of different endings you can get is mind blowing. Only downside we have seen is there is not always enough time to read all of the selections before you have to choose.
Yall dont understand, as someone who has ghost hunted, lost loved ones, loves the paranormal, and psychological horror. This was a masterpiece, and nothing short of it. Characters were so well written, the choices you could make were realistic. This game is incredible, the characters had unique personalities and interesting dialogue, depending on what you do in this game you will get different outcomes such as endings or things characters say. We highly recommend and Im excited for game number 3.
Could not put our phone down until we finished this game. Great, intriguing story. We tried different endings and you must do the same.
This is so for the best game Ive ever played in App Store, we can admit its batter than Roblox. Spent at least 3 days playing this game because of how fun it was. Really hoping for a part 3 and will definitely give other games by NightSchool a try.
From the story to visuals, soundtrack to game mechanics this game feels like it does everything right to capture that foggy small-town, spooky mystery vibe. The characters and voice acting are amazing as well. If any of this matches your vibe, do yourself a favor and give it a shot. Leave. Is. Possible.
We love this game so much, played it about three times now. We love the animation, the dialogue, the scenery and how chill this game is. The interactive features in this game was also nice and especially how we could choose our responses rather than have no choice. The game does get a little glitchy but in general, an interesting experience.
We love the many different directions the story can take and the ending. You can play this game multiple times and end up with a different outcome each time.
This game is amazing and Im probably going to play it many more times but Im having a little bit of problems like with climbing the rocks or mountain or whatever its like the character is stuck on it and it take us a while to get the character off. Another thing is sometimes when Im just moving the character and we stop them for a second and we try to move them again the wont move at all. One last thing is sometimes when a character is following Alex the character gets stuck and its just dialogue which is kind of annoying.
This game is really intriguing, it has an interesting storyline. However it should save in more places instead of having to start over. Ive played the game 3 times choosing different options each time and it all ends up a bit too similar with the exceptions of Michael being alive or Clarissa being sacrificed. One of the times we chose to go with Ren instead of Jonas only to end up with Jonas following us in the end anyway the story should change with the options. Also it should be a faster way to walk or get through scenes and through places there should also be a way to speed up the words and to have captions for when the radio is on. But overall good game.
We have never liked a game that bad it's so interesting, and we love how it's multiple choices. We have never finished a game like that so this our first and we love it. One of the best games ever.
This game is so good and has a very interesting story with well written characters! This is also a horror game witch we like and the voice acting is so good! Get this game.
It's a really great game and runs well on mobile. The only thing is, it can be creepy. Ghosts, using radio to communicate like the ones ghost hunters use to communicate with the other side, and possession. Overall fun game with choices to select. 1 star off for us because ghost box radios and ouija boards scare us in a different way.
So we were playing on our IPad and got a controller so it would be easier to move around, we cant climb up or down hills, click a button to have the characters talk about a certain object, and we cant pick responses with controller, we would love if it was made to be controller friendly PLEASE.
Its simply ok, but we are interested enough to give the sequel a try. The story and interactions were decent, but the gameplay is limited to walking, looking at objects, and turning a radio dial.
When climbing the caves, Alex just ends up in a continuous loop of climbing and getting off, never letting us progress any further into the game. Im invested in the story its just really sad we cant progress any further cause of this glitch.
THE AMOUNT OF YAPPING!? SHUT UP! STOP TALKING.
You cant hear any of the characters glitchy the movement is kind of bad and why does this cost money? Bro we do love the game. And the story. But the second version. Is a little better.
Visually a great game with an interesting storyline but many places where the game would freeze and we have no way of progressing except to start that level over. Ultimately we have to abandon trying to finish. Very frustrating. IPhone 13, iOS 18.5.
There are no settings for audio, so the voice acting is totally drowned out by the music. With how frequently characters talk over each other, its extremely frustrating not being able to hear them. On top of that, youre given such a short amount of time to select responses. So if youre trying to keep up with dialogue through subtitles, its easy to miss chances to respond because the options go away before the preceding dialogues subtitles do. Just one single volume slider for music would have massively improved the game. Hopefully the 2nd one has more options.
Welp anyways PLS MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT THIS ITS AMAZING.
This game is a masterpiece! We feel like Im one of the characters and that we know each one of the characters and adore them! We truly love this game, it has so many depth to it! We started playing this game long ago, but didnt really look into it, then the other day we saw a video on it and we thought to ourselves let us just try, and ket us tell you Im not disappointed one bit. We fell in love with the game and just everything about it.
This game is absolutely wonderful! Had us wondering what would happen next and where the story would end! So much fun we are playing the second game. For the game makers some constructive feedback: – possible future games, maybe have two other gender options for main character? And then have two story versions just substitute in the correct name/pronouns. This could help players connect to the lead more. – also there felt like too much traveling for us. Especially having to retrace your steps sometimes. We actually got lost several times and had to look up videos on where to go. We wish there were a lit up line or path to help when you get stuck. – Issues with the saving were noticed by a lot of other players too. We think with more development that can be improved. – Dialog sometimes felt like it disappeared too fast.
We love thisss all its so cool we get to narrate a plot as the story reveals such amazing characters , stories, themes we literally could not stop playing the gameplay felt so realistic amazing work Netflix like no joke in love we tell ya please make more inloveee.
We really liked every part of it.
This game was actually amazing. We loved absolutely everything about it and we dont think we have ever been more addicted to a game in our life. The characters, the plot, the music, everything was so cool. It has like a spooky sense to it and made our jaw drop quite a few times. We 100% recommend getting this game and we will be playing the second one now, hopefully its just as good as this one was.
We originally got this on our switch but once we saw we could get it on our mobile device we had to get it immediately.
Best mobile game Ive ever played. We loved the characters and the story. Honestly felt tears coming to our eyes when we finished it :) 5/5 would recommend.
Am in love with this game!! We love how good the graphics are and how the characters where design. There where some glitches on the game that made us had to restart the game not from the beginning but from where the game automatically saved itself so it was kinda annoying to start from where it got saved cuz we had to do everything all over again for example Alex glitches sometimes, she like stop moving and we cant do anything, but overall its super good we highly recommend playing it. We also really like how you can choose how the story can go we were kinda shocked when we saw the ending we had to stared at the wall to just process the ending. We wont tell you what happen you will have to see for it for yourself.
We LOVE the story (this goes for oxenfree II too.) there are bugs like with the climbing and itll kick us from the game sometimes but other than that, theres no problems for us. FIVE STARS.
This game is amazing overall a really good game we played it a few years ago came back and its still in our top 10 favorite games, this game will never get old to us.
We love love love this game! Ive only been playing for an hour but awesome graphics, interactive content and sounds. Im a 90s baby so when goosebumps came out and they had the books where the readers could pick the storyline and turn to that page loved it!! There is so many interactive story games but this one caught our attention.
The beat story line, we loved playing it so much. We love a good thriller but when we played ok the tv it was a bit glitchy so we played it mobile. This is the best game EVER.
At the time of writing this, we have played both Oxenfree games, and we must say they are top tier games. At some moments we even cried. While the first game had its bugs thats not what we focused on. The best part of the game, and the thing that stuck with us the most was the story.
First of all IM SHOCKEDDDD, we went into this game not expecting anything rlly and as soon as we started playing, we couldnt stop. Its like we got submerged into this whole new world and the sceneries, the story, the characters, EVERYTHING was literally perfect with a cool twist. Its one of our favorite games EVER and we cant wait to play the sequel!!! So so funnnn oh and Jonas is bae (main characters stepbrother).
We love this game. We felt like we were actually in the story. It was a great adventure. We need more games like this for our tablet. Sadly we finished it.
We dont usually play story games because there usually bad but this is amazing.
We thoroughly enjoyed this game! First Netflix game Ive played, only game in a while that Ive played even. Once we began we played straight through to the end of it.
We wanted a horror puzzle video game that we could just play on our phone and download it a bunch. This one was the one we were least excited about until we actually played it and it became one of our favorite games of all time. Definitely worth a play.
This game is just amazing, im obsessed. We love the vibe and all the music to it and the plot in general. Voice acting is amazing makes you feel like your playing as an actual person. Love everything about it.
This is by far one of the best games Ive ever played!! Everytime we think about it gives us the chills!! Its a very erie game. Its one of our favs! Though theres a glitch. Sometimes when we climb walls it makes us stuck vlimbing the wall up and down when Im with Jonas and he starts to climb then stops. Took us awhile to fix it. Overall, though, amazing game.
