Night School Studio, an independent developer established in 2014 by former Telltale Games and Disney staff, has announced Oxenfree, a supernatural teen thriller adventure game about a group of friends who unwittingly open a ghostly rift.

The game follows Alex, a teenage girl who brings her new step-brother Jonas to an overnight party gone wrong off the coast of their hometown.

Release is planned for 2015, with platforms to be announced.

Another game by former Telltale workers?!? In my opinion this game looks super cool and interesting im excited to see how this one turns out. The dialogue choices seems super interesting and different. Does anyone know which former staff are working on this game? Also will there be more games by former Telltale staff to be expected this year?

    I like the subject matter but not the design too much empty space

    No problem. I wish they'd made more than one season, though.

    Is Erin Yvette in this, one of those characters sounds similar to Bonnie.

  • Flog61Flog61

    Alex sounds a lot like Snow. A hell of a lot like Snow.

    I think you might well be right.

    I just checked the YT page, it gives the list of actors.

    Starring:

    Erin Yvette: “Snow” in The Wolf Among Us, “Sasha” in Tales From the Borderlands

    Gavin Hammon: "Kenny” from The Walking Dead, “Beast” in The Wolf Among Us, Tomb Raider

    Britanni Johnson: “Angel” from Borderlands, Borderlands 2

    I believe Firewatch by Campo Santo will be released this year, but the date is not confirmed. It's being worked on by Sean Vanaman and Jake Rodkin.

    It seems like a better take on Kentucky Route Zero's art style. I'm not a fan of everything being zoomed out though...

    They're being a bit sneaky at who the Telltale/Disney alumni are, but based on clues, I'm thinking they are Adam Hines and Sean Ainsworth.

    Hope I win something if I'm right, but probably not. :)

  • MetallicaRulesMetallicaRules

    I think they both still work at Telltale, their names were both on TFTBL and I never heard news of them leaving.

    Sorry. Jumped to the conclusion. I just meant that it looks like it's going to be played from a side view of the characters. Can't force myself through those games.

    I don't know, I never played Tomb Raider, I'm going off of what the description said. I'm sure if you google it you can find it.

    I got one of them right! Adam Hines and Sean Krankel. And I found a tweet from November that I could have used to determine the right Sean, oh well. There are a surprising number of Seans in the game development world.

    Only 4 days until release, i am starting to look forward to this as the latest preview looks really interesting.

    Another cool peice of news, i follow Night school studios on twitter and they tweeted an interesting article that they are going to be working with Skybound to expand Oxenfree into a "film, a web docuseries and more" which sounds really interesting.

    http://www.polygon.com/2016/1/11/10748834/skybound-oxenfree-movie

    Robert Kirkman's Skybound Entertainment is partnering with Oxenfree developer Night School Studios to expand the property into film, a web docuseries and more, both companies announced today.

    Oxenfree is the debut title from Night School. The game follows a group of high schoolers on an overnight trip to Edwards Island, where things take a supernatural turn. Think Freaks and Geeks meets Poltergeist.

    "As soon as we got our hands on Oxenfree and experienced this unique narrative driven game we knew that the IP had huge potential and that the Skybound team needed to be a part of it," said Kirkman in a statement. "Creating multiplatform entertainment in the thriller genre is in our wheelhouse, and it's great to partner with the passionate developers at Night School to delve deeper into the Oxenfree realm."

    Skybound will host an all-day livestream of the game beginning at 11 a.m. PT on Jan. 15. A making of webseries, The Story of Oxenfree, will release daily beginning today through Jan. 14 on Skybound's YouTube channel.

    Night School cofounder and CEO, Sean Krankel, said the studio is "beyond excited to be working with Robert Kirkman and Skybound to expand the Oxenfree world."

    "Skybound have shown time and again that they know how to take weird, creepy, cool stories and bring them to various media in super authentic ways," he said. "Oxenfree has been a labor of love for Night School, and it's clear to us that Skybound will treat our story and characters with respect in games, film, and beyond. We're looking forward to creating awesome content together and offering fans a deeper dive into the world of Oxenfree!"
