The game’s pixel art graphics will remind you of the 80s’, which is perfect since it’s when the game takes place.

You start of as sheriff Jim Hopper and your mission is to search for the lost children all over Hawkins – even the upsidedown. Each child you save is then added to the characters you can play as.
