Oxenfree II: Lost Signals is a side-scroller adventure game from Night School Studio. You’ll make decisions on what to say and where to go, just like in the first game. The first title had great characters, and this sequel is all about its characters. New characters, Jacob and Riley, journey to the small town of Camena to investigate mysterious radio signals. Jacob seems to have direct ties to the first game's story, including the longest living resident of Edwards Island, Maggie Adler. This title brings the ability to enter alternate timelines through portals, also known as tears in time, that you can find with your radio.

American Arcadia is a 2.5D puzzle-platformer side-scroller game from Out of the Blue. This game takes place in a retro-futuristic city where everyone lives in luxury. They have no idea that they are being broadcast live 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and that if the ratings dip, they will be killed. You can control two characters with completely different play styles. The first plays like a 2.5D side-scrolling platformer containing platforming, chases, stealth, and puzzles, while the second plays like a 3D first-person with hacking, exploration, and stealth elements. Escape the televised utopia, Arcadia, alive when American Arcadia launches on PC and consoles soon.
