Hit Netflix show Stranger Things gets new mobile game ahead of season two

US mobile game developer BonusXP and streaming service provider Netflix have released a new mobile game based on the hit TV series Stranger Things.

The show focuses on the strange goings on in the fictional town of Hawkins, where secret government experiments have seemingly opened a doorway to the upside down, a place home to monsters.

The mobile game features six playable characters which users can play as to explore dungeons and complete quests in the retro-styled world.

The game has been launched on the App Store and Google Play completely free with no in-app purchases.

Its release comes a month before the Stranger Things season two release date on October 27th.

US developer BonusXP has previously worked on a number of titles, including Cavemania and The Incorruptibles.
