018 - Oxenfree

Published: Jan. 8, 2020, 8 a.m.

Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers.\n\nEvery other Wednesday, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft\u2019s Game Pass service, which was chosen for them completely at random.\n\nWhether it\u2019s a magical or a horrible experience, they\u2019ll force themselves through it, share their thoughts, and let you know whether or not the game is worth your time! At the end of each episode, they\u2019ll also randomly select the game for the following show.\n\nMikaela returns after a long hiatus to chat about the quirky, spooky, and gorgeous adventure game, Oxenfree. Spoiler: she very clearly doesn\u2019t like it and Derek spends the entire episode defending it.\n\nOxenfree is a supernatural thriller about a group of friends who unwittingly open a ghostly rift. Play as Alex, a bright, rebellious teenager who brings her new stepbrother Jonas to an overnight party on an old military island. The night takes a terrifying turn when you unwittingly open a ghostly gate spawned from the island\u2019s cryptic past. How you deal with these events, your peers, and the ominous creatures you\u2019ve unleashed is up to you.\n\nYOU determine every aspect of Alex\u2019s story while exploring Edwards Island, uncovering the base\u2019s dark past, and changing the course of your friends\u2019 lives.\n\nWe\u2019ve had a blast making Xbox Game Passengers so far, and we really hope that you\u2019re enjoying it too!
