Earlier this week, IGN was able to get their hands on an extended look at the gameplay of Oxenfree. The video definitely shows the artistic style of the Disney side with the dialogue and narrative focus of the Telltale side. Oxenfree is set out to be released for the PC in late 2015. No console release has been confirmed. They do plan to try and distribute it for consoles. However, no console was specifically stated.
