Netflix gaming enthusiasts (we’re certain there are some) now have the opportunity to enjoy another title in its collection, which, unlike many others, is not original but a well-known title. Night School's Oxenfree has been rebranded as "Netflix Edition" and is now accessible for free on the App Store and Google Play for all Netflix subscribers.
The game received high praise from both critics and gamers when it was released in 2017. This indie survival adventure about teenagers on a mysterious island features impressive visuals, sound, and a compelling narrative. This aligns perfectly with Netflix's preferences, as demonstrated by the popularity of its show Stranger Things and its gaming division.
This release goes beyond just a single game. Following Netflix's recent acquisition of Night School, the studio responsible for Oxenfree, it's likely that their future projects will also be released by Netflix. These may remain exclusive for Netflix subscribers or become paid options for others. Currently, Night School is working on the sequel to Oxenfree, the official Mr. Robot game, and other titles.
Prior to this acquisition, Night School was the primary developer of the Stranger Things puzzle game. Thus, this acquisition was a logical move. It positions Night School to become Netflix's official game development studio due to their similar DNA even before the deal.
If you have a Netflix subscription, you can now download Oxenfree for iOS or Android directly from the app stores or through the Netflix app. The game offers a substantial gameplay experience – long enough to binge-watch a season. For fans of quality adventure games, it is well worth the investment.
