| Pump Up the Volume: 10 Years of OXENFREE | 2026-02-04 | Earlier this year OXENFREE turned ten years old. Like many awkward kids of that age, OXENFREE is experiencing a lot of big feelings and emotions. Most of all it wanted to fit in and have features like all the other ten-year-old games on the playground.So, we revisited your feedback and realized there was one small improvement we could give you as a birthday present: volume sliders. Now, you can independently control the levels of music, sound effects, and voiceover to achieve audio bliss. If you think Jonas should pee quieter, that’s a real choice you can make right from the pause menu. Also in the pause menu, you’ll find a support option to |
| 10 Years of Night School Studio! | 2024-12-19 | Happy 10 years of Night School Studio! A whole decade, huh? That’s a long time to be making games. We’re stoked we’re still here, and even more stoked that you’re still here. We at Night School know we’re nothing without our incredible community. These 10 years wouldn’t have been possible without you.

| Celebrating 8 Years of OXENFREE - Community Q&A! | 2024-01-15 | Dang. 8 years ago TODAY, we were crossing all our digits getting ready to launch the game into the world. Only a year and a half earlier, we weren’t a company, or even a team. Most of us were strangers 18 months earlier, and I’m so grateful that our game is what brought all of these cool folks into my life. Today is the 8 year anniversary of OXENFREE, and your passion for the game is why we were able to create OXENFREE II (which is awesome and you should play if you haven’t yet). In retrospect it all seems stupidly simple; we dove headlong into a game design and story that were intuitively inspiring. We didn’t overthink it, hunted down like-m |

| What makes a good conversation? Find out at LudoNarraCon! | 2022-05-06 | Choosing dialogue choices and having conversations is often part of the core mechanic of any narrative-driven game. How do we craft “good” conversations and what does that mean? Join Kahlief Adams, host and founder of the Spawn On Me podcast, as he sits down with Adam Hines, our co-founder and lead writer. Using our catalog of games, they’ll discuss how writers, narrative designers, and storytellers can build interactive conversations that feel natural and engaging while pushing the boundaries of interpersonal relationships in games.

| Five Years of Oxenfree | 2021-01-15 | It’s been five years since the release of Oxenfree. Everyone here at Night School Studio would like to thank our incredible community and players for the support from day one until now. It's surreal to see how Alex’s story has resonated with people around the world. January 15 is not only the day that Oxenfree launched but also the day that the USS Kanaloa set out on its voyage, forever changing the lives of its crew, Alex, Ren, Jonas, Clarissa, and Nona. In these past five years, our studio has been fortunate enough to stay alive, grow, and release new adventures like Afterparty and Next Stop Nowhere. Thank you! We're celebrating this huge m |
| Afterparty is coming to Steam on October 22, 2020 | 2020-09-25 | Hi! How are you doing? Are you doing okay? How many wellness apps have you deleted and redownloaded in the last two weeks? Do you currently have another tab open to a video explaining how to teach World War II to a nine-year old? Are you growing your own toilet paper? Well better get on it! But before you go over to your neighbor’s house to steal his bleach, I have some actual, verifiable good news! Halloween is around the corner! And in these last waning months, weeks, days and minutes of having a still somewhat functioning civilization, what better way to rest your weary soul than to focus on the comparatively cheerful horrors of Halloween. |
