Alternative opinion: absolutely loved Afterparty. They went in a totally different, comedic direction with it, but I personally enjoyed it a lot. And, honestly, liked Oxenfree II even more than the first one. Yes, it lacks novelty, but makes up for it with excellent writing.

Yeah fair enough, I can see why you'd get into it. I think the humour wasn't for me and I found the plot to be too low stakes. Art was great though.

Finished Oxenfree II, completely agree, writing was excellent. Characters are far more complex and the story was super thematically rich
