Much of the hidden lore is presented in the form of notes left behind in various places around the island by Maggie Adler before her death (immediately prior to the events of the game). The ghosts want to "soak" into Alex's friends and use them to leave the island by the following day, and it's up to Alex to find a way to stop this from happening, save her friends, and find a way off the island. Maggie uses her inheritence to buy the island with the hope that she can prevent future incidents, but is unable to stop it from becoming a tourist location.Īlex, her best friend Ren and her new step-brother Jonas unintentionally reopen the tear while exploring the caves next to the beach, and the ghosts of the former crew decide to use this new opportunity to try to escape. The two determine that the crew might actually be alive but somehow trapped outside of our dimension and put together a plan to try to rescue them, but in the process they open a tear in the fabric of space time, and Anna Shea is killed in the process, presumably by the angry spirits of said crew (they admit as much when speaking to Alex in the game). The person responsible for misinterpreting the communications is one Maggie Adler, and she starts picking up weird radio signals around the base with her friend Anna Shea, and over time realizes that they are messages from the former crew. Edwards Island (based on Bainbridge Island, found west of Seattle, Washington) is the site of a former military listening post which had a misfortunate incident involving mis-interpreted communications with a secret nuclear submarine developed by the US during World War II that resulted in the destruction of said submarine and the unfortunate death of its entire crew, including 85 officers and 12 passengers. Unfortunately the direct side effect of this is that it will result in spoilers, so if you have not yet had the opportunity to play, this is your chance to browse away before too much is revealed.Īlex, the main character of the game (and the character you control) visits Edwards Island with her friends to celebrate the end of their 11th grade school year at a beach party. Now that I can say with 98% certainty that I have successfully completed Oxenfree with the best possible outcome(s), I would like to spend some time theory-crafting.
