Upside Down
In the small town of Hawkins, Indiana, during the early 1980s, the mysterious disappearance of Will Byers sends his friends and family on a terrifying investigation. You are a new resident in Hawkins with a background in radio communications who notices strange frequencies interfering with local signals. Your curiosity leads you to cross paths with Police Chief Hopper, whose official search for Will is yielding few results. Meanwhile, Will's best friends—Mike, Dustin, and Lucas—have encountered Eleven, a girl with psychokinetic abilities who escaped from a secretive government laboratory. When your radio equipment detects unusual patterns matching Eleven's abilities, you become a crucial link between the children's unofficial search party and Hopper's investigation. Together, you discover Will is trapped in an alternate dimension they call the "Upside Down"—a toxic mirror version of your world inhabited by a predatory entity they nickname the Demogorgon. Your technical expertise proves essential in establishing communication with Will and identifying weaknesses in the dimensional barriers. As laboratory scientists pursue Eleven and more townspeople disappear, your growing understanding of the connection between Eleven's powers and the dimensional rifts places you in the center of a dangerous conspiracy. Your decisions will influence whether Will can be rescued and if the growing rift between dimensions can be closed.
