Samantha Shelley[6] is a character who appears in Oxenfree II: Lost Signals as a walkie-talkie contact on channel 1.[7] At the end of the game, if Riley manages to save Shelley's life, the player will get a ranger patch in the lockbox scene.
Biography[]
She has been working for twelve years as a Park Ranger at Oberon.[8] She meets Riley and Jacob over the phone at Turnstone Forest Ranger Station, 15 3/4 miles from where Shelley works.[9] An uncle of hers served on the USS Kanaloa.
If Riley fails to save Shelley's life, she dies in a rainstorm.[10]
Personality[]
Shelley likes coffee[11] and prefers animal company over human company.[12] Despite working around nature, Shelley is uninterested in caves as she thinks exploring them is dangerously worthless.[13] Tootega Falls is a relaxing place for her.[14]
Although she makes her disgust for Parentage's nude ceremonies known, she also gives them credit for cleaning up after themselves since most people do not do so.[15]
Trivia[]
- She is probably named after Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein since her mother is obsessed with the novel.[16]
