### 2/5 — Im so sad

*2026-03-11, version 1.0.605*

I could not play ts I don’t have a membership gng🥀🫩

### 3/5 — Good game built SO MANY GLITCHES

*2026-02-28, version 1.0.605*

I like the game overall, it’s cute and I had a lot of fun. But there were many glitches in my game. Here were some of the glitches I saw:

The plates that you stand on to turn on/off the lasers stopped working for me. I couldn’t complete the game when these didn’t work. Also there was one time in the school where I made both guards stand on the plates but the door wouldn’t open. I opened the game later and it randomly booted me outside of the school, so I got past that. The guards also sometimes weren’t following their walking routine, they’d randomly start walking everywhere without any kind of pattern. One guy who only paced back and forth started walking all over the library without any repetition. 

I don’t know how to fix these and it’s caused me a lot of trouble.

### 4/5 — I love stranger things

*2026-02-08, version 1.0.605*

This game has so many challenges but is so fun to play  and to find all the characters it’s a great experience and that’s why I love the game and the show.

### 4/5 — Bel gioco ma..

*2026-02-02, version 1.0.605*

Indubbiamente un bel gioco, con un’atmosfera che richiama perfettamente gli anni ‘80. L’unica cosa é che quando si esce dal gioco viene richiesto di salvare i progressi, ma al rientro si é costretti a ricominciare dall’inizio del capitolo. Capita quindi di perdere avanzamenti importanti, anche se si é già arrivati a ridosso della scena finale, dovendo rifare tutto da capo. 
Peccato perché questo problema tecnico finisce per prolungare il gioco di molto e rovinare un po’ l’esperienza complessiva che altrimenti sarebbe davvero ottima!

### 4/5 — Nice game

*2026-01-27, version 1.0.605*

I had just started and when I try to answer the phone it says who you gonna call and it won’t let me answer so I’m stuck in hoppers cabin.

### 3/5 — Tough

*2026-01-26, version 1.0.605*

### 4/5 — ;(

*2026-01-24, version 1.0.605*

Realmente este juego me gusta mucho, pero falla demasiado con el tema de guardar tu progreso, te sales un rato y te regresa al inicio, le das a guardar y no lo hace, tienes q pasar el mismo nivel como mil veces para poder llegar de nuevo a tu progreso.

### 1/5 — Greedy people, Greedy company.

*2026-03-03, version 1.0.605*

I used to play this game back in 2020 and I remember that I used to have so much fun not only because it’s great and enjoyable but the fact that Stranger Things is my favorite TV Show ever. When I try to play it after years it says you have to subscribe to Netflix in order to play it… idk why every company gets so greedy and wants more money than they already getting. At least let us play it for free and have other options for money in the game like skins outfits or whatever. I’m so sad its insane bro

### 1/5 — Why does it say that the code is incorrect?

*2026-02-25, version 1.0.605*

I can't play the game because it tells me the code is incorrect, even though I made it today and saved it.

### 1/5 — Missing tapes and netflix account

*2026-01-29, version 1.0.605*

So sad to see you need a netflix account to play it now. With the season finale I  opened an account just to see it with an opportunity to play this game. When I did the VHS tapes that let you see the season 2 trailer got removed, which is so sad because thats how I knew I was playing a game based on a show. Please bring back the tapes and remove the needing an acc to play feature.

### 1/5 — Crash

### 5/5 — I love stranger things so muchhh

*2026-08-28, version 1.0.605*

This game is amazing it has so many fun challenges and things to do I would definitely recommend this game to people you guys definitely need to make more stranger things games there’s not that much in the world on the App Store  😭 but overall this game is very fun I enjoy it it’s very fun to kill time and stuff I have a broken leg right now so this game is a fun way to forget about the pain and focus on playing this awsome gamee

### 5/5 — A nostalgic and excellent game

*2026-07-05, version 1.0.605*

I had played this game since its beginnings. The only pity is that now you gotta have a Netflix account to play, otherwise, this game is and will continue being one of my favorites ones!

### 5/5 — .

*2026-06-21, version 1.0.605*

Everyone doesn’t understand how much i love stranger things. i’m so sad that the seasons have come to an end but for most off i have to say season 3 was really my favorite i felt so nostalgic just seeing all the episodes and wished to be a teenager in the 1980’s. stranger things basically has a season for literally every season which is fall, winter, summer, and fall again. i hated how everything changed because of that stupid mind flayer which wouldn’t stop following them. i especially loved max and elevens bond. everytime summer comes around my summer isn’t complete if i dont i watch season 3. so yeah i really love this game especially thank you for making stranger things. it basically grew up with me i am now 18.

### 5/5 — Great game but…

*2026-05-28, version 1.0.605*

The whole story’s good I don’t see any bugs, but the games a bit short please add just a tiny bit more chapters because there are only six in the tv show there are eight chapters. So add just 2 or 3 more chapters.😊

### 5/5 — 안되시는 분들 시스템 언어를 영어로 바꾸고 실행해보세요

문득 호기심에 시스템언어를 영어로 바꾸고 들어가보니까 실행됩니다! 꼭 해보세요:)

### 5/5 — 🫡

*2026-02-06, version 1.0.605*

I played this game as a kid and I’m playing it again it’s hands down one of the best pixel games I’ve ever played

### 5/5 — Such a fun game!

*2026-02-05, version 1.0.605*

Honestly one of the best mobile games I’ve ever played. Easy 5 stars

### 5/5 — Très bon jeu

*2026-02-03, version 1.0.605*

Très bon jeu juste c’est dommage qu’il y ait quelques bugs par exemple à chaque fois que je rentre dans un donjon que j’ai déjà terminé, je dois le refaire(à corriger)

### 5/5 — A game made for the fans

*2026-01-28, version 1.0.605*

The game is fun and have many details from the famous drama. Love playing it. Back to basic and every fan should play.

### 5/5 — I MISS STRANGER THINGS

*2026-01-20, version 1.0.603*

Played this after finishing ST5. Super nostalgic and fun! The storyline actually took me a while to finish (8 hrs) and there were so many side quests to make the gameplay more interesting! Alongside adventure, the puzzles required some logic as well which I love.
