They love each other, but they can’t be together, so they do what anyone in this situation probably would have done: escape to an unknown planet.
This is the story of oasis, a romantic space adventure about two lovers trying to stay together against all odds. Who are these two lovers you ask? Well, with that couple updatethe question just got more interesting.
oasis originally had you play as Yu, the hot-headed mechanic, and Kay, the cautious biologist. This free update introduces two new characters: Yu, the hot-headed mechanic; and Kay, the careful biologist. That means you can now play with Yu & Kay, Yu & Kay, or even Yu & Kay.
Still confused? Okay, let’s clarify a bit: while oasis Originally let you play as a straight couple, now you can play as a same-sex couple.
It might feel like a small change, but oasis As this is a game about the freedom to love who you want, we are very excited to offer players more ways to identify with our precious couple.
Whoever you decide to play as, the main story doesn’t change, neither does the personality of the characters. What will change is their design, models, art, animations, some lines and of course their voices as the 80,000 lines of dialogue have been completely re-voiced by our amazing voice actors Lexie Ann Kendrick (Kay) and Ryan Highley (Ju).
As a writer, when we began work on this update shortly after release, I was curious as to how the original dialogue would be translated for these two new pairs. Will some of them sound weird? Unnatural? After all, I wrote Kay as a man and Yu as a woman, didn’t I?
I was pleasantly surprised to find that apart from pronouns and small details, almost nothing needed editing. Overall, the alchemy between the characters remained untouched.
As if characters weren’t determined by their gender. As if men and women could have the same interests, the same thoughts, the same feelings.
Funny.
We hope you’re as excited as we are to discover or rediscover your favorite couple. For once, Oink can’t wait to meet his two new moms. Or fathers.
Haven Couple Update is available today for free on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
