The blue-haired Alex is the main protagonist and she is a good friend of Ren, a talkative stoner.
She brings along Jonas, her new stepbrother who does not yet know much about Alex.
Joining them is Mona, Ren's crush, and the cynical Clarissa.
Clarissa used to date Michael, Alex's brother who passed away, and they do not get along.
The island has a few shops for tourists, but only the old Mrs Adler lives there.
There are however still many buildings from a long time ago.
The game starts as a lazy evening at the beach with a campfire.
Ren talks about strange phenomena that occur in a nearby cave and that triggers an event that takes the teenagers to locations all over the island.
The game is played from a third-person side view with side-scrolling environments.
Alex can be moved around freely and a single button is used to climb or jump gaps, but only to continue moving as there are no platform elements.
She is the main character and controlled by the player, while the other characters generally follow her.
Most of the attention goes to character development, conversations and the relationships between the characters.
The game uses a free-flowing conversation system where the characters talk to each other and Alex can intervene, often by choosing from three options.
Each option has a different colour that represent a certain emotion.
These fade after a short time, so the player chooses one of the options and can also determine when to cut off someone.
Remaining silent and not weighing in is also an option.
Alex's choices influence how the other characters think about her, how they feel towards each other and what type of options will be available for later conversations.
A small text balloon showing a character's face often signals this to the player.

About Nintendo Switch
Released in 2017, the Nintendo Switch became one of the best-selling consoles of all time thanks to its hybrid handheld/docked design. Its cartridge-based physical format (as opposed to discs) has made complete-in-box collecting popular again, with certain limited print runs and Nintendo-published exclusives already commanding a premium on the secondhand market just a few years after release.
Gamevaro tracks Oxenfree for Nintendo Switch with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Oxenfree to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NSW release dates back to 2016.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Oxenfree has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
