#oxenfree

dont you ever want to go to a random island start a campfire there and take your handy dandy portable radio and enter some random cave and tune into some rocks which opens a portal into another world with dead people from a submarine that exploded off the coast of said island and they trap you in a timeloop so that you never get out

So...

I've always thought, perhaps wishfully, that Alex from OXENFREE and her brother were originally intended as indigenous. I struggle to reconcile the conflict felt by Michael about departing his hometown with the late predominance of the indigenous in the Pacific Northwest. Settlers did not come to that region in great numbers until after the Civil War, if I recall correctly. And, without presuming the veracity of such a rhetorical motif, the indigenous are often portrayed in American Media as possessing a deep sentimental connection to the land.

The background music in Dan da Dan sounds like the music in the video game Oxenfree. I love it so much

If I had a nickel for every time I've become obsessed with a 10-year-old choice-based horror game that long ago I either wanted so badly to play or had heard about enough times to pique my curiosity — whose existence I've rediscovered just because of a sudden memory — with a soundtrack that both blesses and thrills my whole being, a trope-based cast consisting of teenagers, a supernatural mystery involving an elder of questionable sanity, and whose fandom currently has the vitality of a withered garden, I'd have two nickels.
