Oxenfree characters5/29/2023 When playing "marry, screw, kill" Alex can choose to marry Ren as they are already friends so there would be no "surprises", sleep with him because knowing each other would make it less weird, or kill him if left with no other options. They often playfully banter and tease each other about old stories they know about each other. Ren - Ren is Alex's childhood best friend.In addition, Alex has the ability to choose whether or not Michael stays in town and thus is "resurrected", negating the step-sibling relationship with Jonas, but still having the option to bond with Jonas as a friend or "other-brother". Depending on the choices made by the player, Alex and Jonas can become closer and see each other as truly brother and sister, or remain distant. Because of this, Alex is somewhat wary of Jonas at the beginning of the game. Jonas - In the beginning of Oxenfree, it is stated that Alex and Jonas had just met each other for the first time on that day, as Jonas had just moved in.The red jacket that Alex wears is a hand-me-down from Michael. Regardless of player choices, he will listen to her opinion in all situations. Michael - Michael is Alex's older brother, and the two of them have always shared a close, "best-friend" bond.Alex's mother remarried, which brought her new step-brother Jonas into Alex's life. It is mentioned in-game that prior to Michael's death, Alex's parents were prone to fighting and, eventually, following Michael's death, their marriage fell apart and ended with their divorce. Ren states that he managed to pass the test while overdosing on a large amount of cough syrup and that, in comparison, Alex would have been able to do excellent on it. Clarissa clearly states multiple times that she holds Alex entirely accountable for Michael's death, and states in addition that the town of Camena looks at Alex as if she has a "red letter tattooed on her forehead".Īfter Michael dies, it is implied that Alex grows more rebellious (possibly acting out in grief), choosing to skip an aptitude test at school so that she could bring an amplifier to Ren's barnyard concert. This ultimately lead to Michael drowning as Alex watched by the wayside, unable to help due to her poor or total lack of swimming skills. Alex wanted for them to hang out one last time before he left, so they both went swimming in the lake. Michael claimed he intended to teach Alex how to swim at the pool the following week, though it is unknown if those plans were followed up.īefore Michael graduated he asked for Alex's blessing to leave town for College and live on his own with Clarissa. One year prior to the beginning of Oxenfree, Alex, Michael, and Clarissa took a trip to Edwards Island together so they could all spend the day out together. She was once arrested for grand theft auto as she and her friend Ashley borrowed a car without permission to go to a concert, much to Michael's reprimanding afterward. She also grew up around Clarissa, Michael's girlfriend, who had pushed Alex into a pool in 6th grade. She grew up very close to her brother Michael and childhood friend Ren. She wears an over-sized red hunting jacket that once belonged to Michael.Īlex lives in the town of Camena, Oregon, with her family. She wears a simple white 3/4-length shirt with a blue collar and sleeves, light wash skinny jeans, and work boots. It is implied in-game that she dyed her hair after her brother Michael's death, but there is one existing image of Michael and Alex in which she already had her teal hair. Before the game's events, she is shown to have reddish-brunette hair. Her general disposition is witty and sarcastic, but player choices can determine whether or not she is more negative or positive towards other characters.Īlex has tan/brown skin, reddish brown eyes, and teal-dyed hair that is tied up into a high ponytail. Give this game a try, it's a diamond in the rough.Alex is a bright, rebellious teenager. I don't generally game on my mac so it's forgiven. I just love this game so much despite the massive bugs I got, but I'm a full time video game tester, and I attribute most of these bugs to my mac just being too slow. ) Those hidden trophies are there for a reason. Not to mention that you can get multiple endings based on your play style. The supernatural stuff you saw during your first playthrough "bleed through" to your second "timeline" and the story goes deeper still. If you get to play this game, don't play it once and then stop. Oxenfree is the second game I've purchased from Steam, and despite my Mac being a little too slow for it, I loved this game!! Yes, it's short, Oxenfree is the second game I've purchased from Steam, and despite my Mac being a little too slow for it, I loved this game!!
