Our take on Oracle
Players who need a clearly signposted route may hit a wall when the game opens into its island map: progress centers on exploring locations and piecing together the story rather than following a stated linear sequence.
What is Oracle?
Oracle is a single-player, open-world experience set on an island where the player lives alone and is hiding from the past.
Explore a 5-square-mile map with over 30 locations while uncovering the island’s secrets and learning about Quijana and events beyond the island. The story includes randomly generated audio and voice acting by Brynjar Gunnarsson. Gameplay also features changing times of day and weather systems. The game includes a soundtrack, Steam Trading Cards, and achievements.
