OXENFREE II: Lost Signals
This is perhaps one of the most significant Netflix Games releases to date in that it’s the first real title to come from one of Netflix’s internal studios.
Serving as a sequel to the critically acclaimed first game and described as a mind-bending follow-up, here’s what you can expect from the story:
“In the small coastal town of Camena, unnaturally occurring electromagnetic waves are suddenly causing interference with electrical and radio equipment. Reluctantly, Riley Poverly, an environmental researcher, returns to her hometown to investigate the mystery, but what she finds is more than she bargained for.”
You’ve got several different options of playing the new Night School Studio entry. You can source it on your favorite game consoles like PlayStation, Switch, or PC, or you can access the mobile version for free with your Netflix subscription on iOS or Android.
