The gist of the plot is that characters are stuck in a causality loop, and that infinite versions of them exist. Now about Triangle.first of all, TRIANGLES. SPOILERS FOR A 2009 BRITISH PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER AHEAD
#OXENFREE NEW GAME PLUS MOVIE#
So for everyone upset when it looks like Alex gets stuck looping on the island forever, just remember that technically, one of the infinite versions of her does, yes, but countless other versions of her escape and go back into the real world their live their lives out thanks to the sacrifice of that one 'looper'.ĭoes that make sense to anybody else? Also, it's worth watching the movie 'Triangle' because there are a LOT of similarities in how the logic of the game plays out regarding the loops. You can even 'break' time and create a reality where Michael lives, after all. In some realities, fewer people survive, relationships are changed and the outcomes for the survivors' lives are different. There'll be an 'Alex' going through events on the island over and over because that's the only way any of the other multiple versions of Alex, Jonas, Ren, Nona, Clarissa (and even Michael) can get away. This one gradually remembers every other attempt, because that's basically us, the player, in the game. It's a neat combo of time travel theory and parallel realities - every playthrough creates a new reality based on the many subtle differences from each attempt, and the survivors of that go on to their lives in the real world.īut! To keep the time loop in place, a version of Alex has to repeat the loop. Yes, there's then a reset and we go back to Alex getting ready to head out for the first time, restarting the game, but this is because there are MULTIPLE versions of Alex. In the closing voiceover over the photo when you see a breakdown of your major choices, Alex talks about getting home, what the others went on to do next and so on that implies the gang made it off the island and went on with their lives. I'm of the opinion now (after a playthrough and much time spent watching alternate playthroughs online) that the big twist of the ending isn't as bad as some people think.
