1984 – Indiana – Recently several strange fact happened in town, farmers have seen their whole harvest gone rot overnight and strange creatures has been heard howling from the woods.
It all started when the Hawkins National Laboratory, a government science laboratory outside the city, has confiscated few houses near the woods for not so clear reason. One of these houses is William’s home, of one of your best friend. William has recently been taken to the hospital since he was screaming and he was getting colder and colder. You’re pretty sure that this has something to do with the activity of the HNL, you reported this to the police, but without any evidence, they cannot do much.
You guys have decided to start an investigation on your own. While you’re all pretending to be playing Dungeons&Dragons together, you’ll be going to William’s house. Will’s mother is with him at the hospital and won’t be back before 1 hour. You have to find what’s really going on with the HNL activity.

Our game was comp'ed by the owner but the review is unaffected by this. Recommend this game from Livorno for 3-4 beginner/medium players. It's based on Netflix's Stranger things (duh) and can see the of love the owners put in it. It's a live avatar game of an existing room, decor was pretty cool and some interesting mechanical puzzles. You will recognize many small touches to go with the theme, the puzzles were easy but quite fun and the avatar tried his best to display everything well. They are working on more tweaks to make sure the online experience is as good as it can be and looking forward to play another room of theirs!
Looks like a play-by-avatar game but is actually a play-by-canned-video-clips game. But the GM plays it well enough that the seams don't show much.

For Stranger Things fans, this is a must. So well thought out with great gameplay and flow. If you've never watch the show, you'll still be able to enjoy some great puzzles, great wow moments and a thoroughly enjoyable hour of puzzling.
