Stranger Things Shares Common Themes With This Ellen Page Video Game

Stranger Things, a show so continually obsessed over that it's become a game of find that reference, is still fascinating fans. The thriller pays tribute to a ton of iconic shows and movies, sometimes in ways that make the audience feel rewarded and cool, and other times in ways that make people feel like conspiracy theorists tumbling down an endless rabbit hole filled with mystery waffles. Of all the roughly 8,362 different influences in the canon of influences that the creators confirmed inspired the series, the PlayStation game Beyond Two Souls starring Ellen Page isn't one of them. But the interactive drama adventure game and the Netflix series do share some common elements. It's not that the show is directly referencing this game.
