A cut character refers to a character who did not make it into the final version of the game. Inside Oxenfree II: Lost Signals' script, there are mentions of 10 cut characters.
Gracie and her sons[]
Gracie was going to be a walkie-talkie contact on channel 2.[1] She would have worked as a cashier[2] and lived with her twin sons,[3] Bradley and Brad, and her sons' father.[4] In her storyline, a portal would have opened in her backyard, and she would think there was an alien impersonator among her two kids,[5] so she would have asked them questions to find the impostor.[6][7]
Throughout her exchanges with Riley, her sons can be heard in the background. Brad calls Gracie "Ma," while Bradley calls her "Mom."[8] Brad would work at the Docks, while Bradley would work as a park ranger.[9] They were named by their father.[10]
If Riley accepted Evelyn's request to help Gracie, she and Jacob would have to go to each son's workplace for evidence that they were telling the truth. Then, they would find Bradley's pay stub and Brad's boat.[11]
Later on, the player would have to choose from Brad, Bradley, and Gracie herself, the latter being the correct option—although Gracie would not have been an alien, just a Gracie from another timeline.[12]
After guessing correctly, Riley would guide Gracie through a portal back to her timeline,[13] and the twins would be confused about where their real mother was, before remembering she would be having dinner with their father.[14] However, failing this sidequest would lead to Gracie arming herself with a gun and shooting it; it is unclear at whom.[15]
