Stranger Things Re-created As An 80s Adventure Video Game

In line with nostalgia theme of the series, Game designer Jacob Janerka has paid homage to Netflix’s Stranger Things by creating this really awesome point-and-click adventure game art.

Be warned: Spoilers follow.

In the animated GIFs of the game, artist Janerka’s latest mock-up shows characters Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder) and Sheriff Hopper (David Harbour) in Byers’ living room strewn with Christmas lights and a cursor able to scroll over items in the room. This is all in line with the retro games of the 80s click-and-point genre.

Unfortunately, there are no plans to make this into a full game; it’s just a fun side project.

Netflix’s Stranger Things is set in Hawkins Indiana in the 1980’s and chronicles the search for a young boy who vanishes into thin air under highly suspicious circumstances. His mother (Winona Ryder) opens an investigation into the boy’s disappearance with local authorities that unravels a series of mysteries involving top-secret government experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one very strange little girl. A love letter to the ubiquitous cult classics of the 80’s, Stranger Things is a coming of age story for three boys that draws this quaint community into a world where mysteries lurk beneath the surface.’
