~ The Ghost's first garbled communication with Alex. |
The USS Kanaloa Ghost, also known as the The Sunken, is the main antagonist of the Oxenfree series.
They are the combined collective hive-mind of the 97 departed souls belonging to the passengers aboard the USS Kanaloa. Despite their soul vessels that appear in Alex's photographs throughout majority of the game, they use Clarissa as their main vessel for most of the game, since Alex dislikes Clarissa the most, and the Ghosts think that Alex would be willing to sacrifice Clarissa's soul to them in exchange for the rest of them to go free.
Biography[]
The USS Kanaloa[]
All 97 souls, 85 officers and 12 passengers, aboard the USS Kanaloa died when the ship sank, and in their anger they all become one entity to try and get a second chance at life by possessing someone else.
Oxenfree[]
The Ghosts appear relatively harmless at first after Alex accidentally opens the portal, but they teleport everyone to various parts of the island, and begin possessing them, mainly Clarissa since Alex dislikes her the most, and continue to manipulate and torment the humans on the island.
Depending on the ending of the game, one of Alex's friends, or Alex herself, will remain stuck with the Ghosts, however it doesn't truly matter in the end because of the time loop that results in everyone ending up back on the island again. As Alex recaps what happened after everyone left the island, everything glitches, and then Alex says if she doesn't leave soon, she'll be late to the ferry, proving that she is still stuck in the endless time loop.
Alex can break the loop in one of the endings, however it only spares the version of her in that timeline, as when the loop continues again the previous variant will instead repeat Alex's journey. As the timeline continues, Alex becomes more aware of the looping, but it never matters in the end, as she will always end up back at the start again.
Oxenfree II[]
Five years after the events of the first Oxenfree, a girl named Riley and some of her friends head to the island.
TBA
Personality[]
The Ghosts have, according to them, abandoned their integrity, and no longer care about morality. Their only obsession is finding a permanent vessel, and they will do anything to achieve this goal, including leaving children to rot in the same fate they are in if it means succeeding.
