Not content with turning every videogame into an anime, reports have surfaced over the past year about Netflixmoving into game development. They have previously dabbled in making interactive content, in the form of choose-your-own episodes of childrens' series andBlack Mirror. Mike Verdu joined Netflix to lead their videogame efforts after spells at EA and Oculus.
Oxenfree 2 wasannounced earlier this year, and will follow new characters but feature the same dialogue system that made the first game so great. Oxenfree, and to a lesser extent Afterparty, do feel like good games to put in front of a mainstream audience who want stories on their telly. Regardlessconsolidation remains garbage, in principle and regularly in execution. Fingers crossed Night School become an exception.
