Hawkins had always been a small and quiet town in Indiana, but behind its streets and houses lay another world – dark, twisted, filled with monsters and secrets the government tried to keep hidden from everyone
It all began on the night Will disappeared
We were playing Dungeons & Dragons with my friends
Click the die and see what number you get
We were rolling dice, laughing, arguing – and when the game ended, another one began, far more terrifying. Will never came home, and his disappearance became a sign that something foreign was lurking beyond the town’s walls
Click the Christmas lights to read Will’s message
Everyone thought she’d gone crazy when she hung the Christmas lights around the house and started talking to them. But we knew – it was Will. He was talking to her through the lights
Will’s mom was the first to feel the truth – but no one believed her
until we met a girl with a shaved head in the woods. Her name was Eleven. She opened the door to the Upside Down – a world no one was ever meant to know about
At first, we thought it was just an accident,
The government was hiding the true horror,
that was happening in the Hawkins Laboratory: children were locked in chambers, their powers were studied, and they were being turned into weapons
Eleven and the other children were prisoners subjected to experiments
For those who once had powers like Eleven but chose a different path, the Upside Down made him its warrior. We saw rats, people, and even an entire town become part of a massive body of darkness
Then Vecna appeared – he wasn't just a monster, he was once a human
Click the player to find out which song saved Max
We saw Max become Vecna’s target. She was suspended in the air, and it seemed like it was all over – but a simple song saved her, connecting her back to life and to us
He tore people apart from the inside, turning their hearts into weapons and their minds into prisons
That’s when we realized: even in the darkest abyss, there is light if you have friends
Vecna screamed, darkness rose around us, and the walls cracked
The finale is near – are you ready?

It’s waiting, lurking there in the darkness, and each of us knows that one day it will return
Yes, we won – but only for a while, because evil never dies
