Analysis and impact
Night School Studio 成立于 2014 年，首部作品《Oxenfree》于 2016 年发售，凭借独特的对话系统与氛围叙事获得广泛好评。2021 年，Netflix 收购该工作室，作为其进军游戏业务的一部分。2023 年，团队推出了续作《Oxenfree II: Lost Signals》，延续了前作的超自然悬疑风格。此次关闭意味着 Netflix 在游戏自研方向上进一步收缩，此前该公司已对游戏部门进行过多次调整。
从时间线看，Netflix 的游戏战略经历了从快速扩张到逐步聚焦的过程。收购 Night School Studio 时，Netflix 正尝试建立自有游戏开发能力，但此后行业环境变化与内部优先级调整使其逐渐转向更精简的运作模式。原文未提供 Night School Studio 关闭前正在开发的项目信息，也未披露 Netflix 游戏部门后续的具体计划。
