About the game, from Tender Claws:

Experience the world of Stranger Things from the never-before-seen perspective of Vecna as he explores unknown realities, forms the hive mind, and enacts his plan for revenge against Eleven and Hawkins.

Players will invade the dreams and memories of fan-favorite characters and harness telekinetic powers to possess minds and battle creatures, as Henry Creel’s transformation into Vecna and his influence on the events of prior seasons is revealed.

  • Grab, crush and throw your opponents using telekinesis
  • Relive memories from Henry’s time at Hawkins Lab with Dr. Brenner as you explore an otherworldly, interconnected hive mind
  • Inhabit the dreams and memories of fan-favorite characters like Will Byers and Billy Hargrove as you manipulate them to do your bidding
  • Wielding powers that subvert and defy Vecna’s own, make a final stand to save your friends in a climactic finale
  • Open and close portals between worlds and realities… at your peril

What do you guys think? There seems to be a resurgence of  brand new VR games coming out at a rapid clip. With the release of new VR devices, looks like the future is bright for the returning medium. Regardless if you like VR or not, at the very least fans of the Netflix show should definitely check this out while waiting for the series finale.

For those interested in getting the game, pre-orders are available now via Oculus Store website for $26.99 usd. No specific release date yet but they are targeting a 2023 release.
