While it’s a bummer for anyone who’s been eagerly awaiting the next slice ofOxenfree, hopefully this makes the work come together for Night School. The originalOxenfreewas incredible, and I enjoyed the unique twists and mechanics ofAfterpartyas well.
Night School itself has been busy, too. The studio waspurchased by Netflixroughly a year ago today. This is certainly a studio that can bring some storytelling power toNetflix’s gaming selection.
