Games Like Oxenfree II to Play on Your Phone
Finished Oxenfree II on Netflix and want that same spooky, talky, late-night feeling? These are the mobile games I'd play next, most of them free with Netflix.
Oxenfree II: Lost Signals is one of those games that sticks with you. Riley walking around Camena with Jacob, the radio crackling, the dialogue bubbles popping up while you're still deciding what to say. It's creepy, but it's mostly about people.
If you've just finished it and want more of that feeling, here's what I'd play next on your phone. Most of these are included with a Netflix membership, so there's nothing extra to pay and no ads.
One thing first: Night School Studio, which made both Oxenfree games, closed in August 2026. Both games are still in Netflix's library as of November, but if you haven't played the first one, I wouldn't wait.
On Netflix (free with your membership)
Oxenfree
The obvious one, but plenty of people start with the sequel. Alex and her friends take a ferry to an island for a party, tune a radio to the wrong frequency, and things get very strange. Same walk-and-talk style, same radio mechanic, and it's shorter, so it's a good weekend game.
Before Your Eyes
You control this one by blinking. The front camera watches your eyes, and every time you blink, time jumps forward in a man's life. You'll try so hard not to blink during the good bits. It's short, under a couple of hours, and it's the one people tell me made them cry.

Immortality
If what you liked about Oxenfree II was the mystery of what's really going on, try this. You scrub through old film footage of an actress who disappeared, and the more you dig, the less normal it gets. It's for adults, and it's best played on a tablet or with headphones in a dark room.
Storyteller
Lighter, but just as clever. You build little comic strips from characters and scenes to make a story match its title, like "betrayal" or "love lost". It's a puzzle game, but it scratches the same "I'm making the story happen" itch.
Valiant Hearts: Coming Home
Very different setting, World War I, but the same focus on characters you end up caring about. Four stories cross over, with puzzles and some simple action in between. More on this one in games like Valiant Hearts.

Worth buying
Life is Strange
The closest match outside Netflix. Max can rewind time, you make choices that change how people treat you, and there's a small-town mystery underneath it all. The first episode is free to try.

Florence
A tiny game about falling in love, told almost without words. It takes about half an hour and costs a few dollars. If Oxenfree II's quieter moments were your favourite bits, play this.
How to play the Netflix ones
You need a Netflix membership. Download the game from the App Store or Google Play (or find it in the Games row in the Netflix app), then sign in with your Netflix account. More in how to play Netflix games on your phone.
