Oxenfree Sequel Expands Supernatural Mystery With New Characters and Time Travel Puzzles, But Lacks Original's Magic

Oxenfree II takes place 5 years after the original with a new protagonist investigating strange signals.
The sequel references the first game's events but is accessible for new players.
Story branches based on dialogue choices that shape the ending.
New time loop mechanics allow players to alter the past to solve puzzles.
Despite polished gameplay and pacing, the sequel falls short of capturing the innovative spirit and charm of the original Oxenfree.
