Five Years of Oxenfree


It’s been five years since the release of Oxenfree. Everyone here at Night School Studio would like to thank our incredible community and players for the support from day one until now. It's surreal to see how Alex’s story has resonated with people around the world.

January 15 is not only the day that Oxenfree launched but also the day that the USS Kanaloa set out on its voyage, forever changing the lives of its crew, Alex, Ren, Jonas, Clarissa, and Nona. In these past five years, our studio has been fortunate enough to stay alive, grow, and release new adventures like Afterparty and Next Stop Nowhere.

Thank you! We're celebrating this huge milestone with five weeks of memories, discounts, and giveaways on social media so make sure you're following our studio on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.

Afterparty is coming to Steam on October 22, 2020

Hi! How are you doing? Are you doing okay? How many wellness apps have you deleted and redownloaded in the last two weeks? Do you currently have another tab open to a video explaining how to teach World War II to a nine-year old? Are you growing your own toilet paper? Well better get on it! But before you go over to your neighbor’s house to steal his bleach, I have some actual, verifiable good news!



Halloween is around the corner! And in these last waning months, weeks, days and [checks watch] minutes of having a still somewhat functioning civilization, what better way to rest your weary soul than to focus on the comparatively cheerful horrors of Halloween. Costumed children skipping down the street! Raucous parties raging till dawn! Surprise office shindigs to delight young temps! None of that will be happening this year, no, but Afterparty is coming to Steam on October 22, just in time to fuel all of your spooky cravings in lieu of being able to actually go outside and see other human beings.

We’re genuinely very excited to finally bring our follow-up to Oxenfree out to you ghouls, a devilish adventure with Milo and Lola, two college friends who find themselves trapped in Hell. I know. I’m jealous, too. But to them, this is a bad thing! They want to get back to Earth, back to their lives, and, thankfully for them, there's a demonic loophole: while prowling the weird streets of Hell’s surrealist cities, if they can find and outdrink Satan himself, the Prince of Lies will return them to their placid existence.



You'll control both Milo and Lola through a phantasmagorical bar crawl positively brimming with fiendish characters you can befriend and/or torture. You'll drink from over 30 bizarre concoctions that will change the two friends' personalities, allowing you to personalize their crazy night out. You'll survive awkward bar talk, help wayward souls, play beer pong with demons, and try not to throw up even though it would probably just make you feel a whole lot better. Won’t you help Milo and Lola escape eternal torment? If you bring your laptop into bed, you don’t even have to get up!



Okay. That’s it. Get some rest. Close your eyes. Add Afterparty to your Wish List. Picture a calm, blue ocean. And vote. Thanks.
