Oxenfree doesn't reinvent the wheel, but perfects it. Described by the game's creative director Sean Krankel as "Freaks and Geeks meets Poltergeist, with a little bit of Stand By Me and The Goonies".

Beholder is punishing, but it can evoke emotions you haven't felt before playing a videogame.

"Big Brother has arrived - and it’s you." In Orwell, you are tasked to report to the government on potential threats. You use spying software to gleam every bit of info from anyone deemed suspicious.

The game consists of exploring a spaceship, and typing to a Ai at terminals in each room to discover the story. The Ai is a unique character with emotions and memories. $20 is a little steep though.
