Introduction:
Oxenfree is a "supernatural thriller" adventure game about a group of friends uncovering the secrets and mysteries of a small island town. It has a very unique art style, great story, and solid voice acting. The game requires three full playthroughs to get all the achievements, though the game is fairly short (4-5 hours your first time). Please play through the game once blind if you do not wish the story to be spoiled for you, and stop reading right now. The steps listed below spoil the game's endings.
Note: This roadmap and guide contain spoilers.
Step 1: 'Nice' Playthrough
During this playthrough, you will be trying to get Ren and Nona to date, keeping Jonas as your step-brother, getting all collectibles, and doing the one random optional achievement for jumping the chasm. You will earn:
- It's A Me
- Adler Letters, Pt 1+2+3
- Ghost Stories
- Matchmaker
- New Beginnings
- "This House is Clear"
To make sure you get all these achievements, make these important choices during the story:
- Do not accuse Ren of lying during Truth or Slap
- Talk to Nona before jumping the fence on the beach
- Go help Ren first after visiting the Comm Tower
- Do not blame Jonas for what happened in the caves
- Get all the answers right in the army base (US Army RCS, Cookies, 85)
- Take Jonas with you to Main Street
- Talk to Nona at Maggie Adler's house, before resolving the time loop
- Find all the items at Maggie Adler's (TV in bottom left, painting in top left, picture in top right)
- Do not accept the ghost's proposal regarding Clarissa
- Talk to Nona at Bridge Stand, before resolving the time loop (and make sure you tell her that Ren knew she liked him)
- Hug everyone before entering the bunker
- Help Jonas with the tape player inside the bunker
- Close the gate when you are underwater (rather than walking away)
- Make sure Michael stays dead (refer to "Thicker Than Water")
Step 2: 'Mean' Playthrough
During this playthrough, you will be keeping Ren and Nona apart, making all your friends hate you, and bringing your brother back from the dead. You will earn:
- Renjamin Spanklin
- You'd Just End Up Hating Each Other
- Thicker Than Water
- I'm the Firestarter
To make sure you get these, see the instructions for Step 1 (the 'Nice' playthrough) and do the exact opposite. See "I'm the Firestarter" for a full list of the reversed actions.
Step 3: 'Silent' Playthrough
For this playthrough, there won't be any other achievements left except "The Strong, Silent Type", so simply go from objective to objective and never choose any of the dialogue options to unlock that and finish the 1000.
