Questions about the lore of the Upside Down will be answered in Season 5. When the Duffers were in the midst of writing Season 1 of the show, Netflix asked them to write a document that was a walk-through of the mythology of Stranger Things. And according to Ross Duffer, “there’s still stuff” that audiences haven’t seen yet but that they do “hint about this season.” As he says, “We start getting into a little bit about the Upside Down.” While they don’t resolve lingering questions just yet, he insists that they do have the answers. “The last remaining questions that are answered in that document, we’ve punted a couple of those to have some big reveals in Season 5. And that’s really going to affect what Season 5 is about.”ģ. The Duffers always set out to make a lot of the horror in Stranger Things come from the humans in the story - not just the monsters. Matt and Ross Duffer were inspired by the works of Stephen King when they developed Stranger Things. The prevalent motif in King’s work of humans as the real horror has served as a through line in every season of Stranger Things. But this theme especially applies to Season 4, as we’re introduced to the jocks at Hawkins High. When it comes to basketball team captain Jason, in particular, whose girlfriend Chrissy is murdered in the first episode, Matt Duffer explains that “we wanted to explore someone who, had this never occurred, would’ve probably led a really good life. ![]() Someone who was very popular, had a sort of self-righteous streak in him, who was viewed by the community as completely virtuous. ![]() All of this stuff that is inside of him that probably would have never been unlocked had that not occurred comes spilling out.” Mainly, that he dives headfirst into the satanic panic and launches a mob search party to find Chrissy’s murderer, who he wrongfully suspects is Hellfire Club president Eddie Munson (Joe Quinn). Ross Duffer adds that Jason was also a conduit for how “a lot of times, we introduce a new character to this world, and they see these extraordinary supernatural things. They react to it sometimes in fear and wonder, but they’re able mostly to overcome that. What we wanted to explore also was what if a character sees this, and he cracks a little bit?” And boy, does Jason crack.Ĥ. ![]() I want to love this game, but I just can't.Police chief Jim Hopper’s (David Harbour) prison break was no easy feat.ĭavid Harbour found his “inner Russian bear” filming barefoot in the snow. The game does not tell you what you can and can't interact with unless you hover the mouse over it, so unless you go over every single pixel in the game with the mouse you will always be uneasy and wonder if you missed a clue. I won't even get into a puzzle that requires you to light candles a specific way and the only way to find out the proper order is to go to the other side of the monastery, grab a brush and start brushing walls until you find the hidden diagram. This is only a mild example of an annoyance hindering my enjoyment of the game. However, all of this did not matter, because two minutes after you enter the monastery the monks discover that you are a woman but for plot armor reasons they do not kick you out. However, in order to be successful you must distract the monk and the only way to do that is to BACKTRACK all the way to the village, buy a bird whistle that they didn't sell the first time you were in the shop, GO BACK TO THE MONASTERY and then give it to the monk who gets distracted and runs away to chase a bird. You discover that women are not allowed to enter monasteries so your only hope is to steal a robe from a nearby monk that is doing laundry. All these roadblocks are needlessly complicated puzzles that can be solved in only one way, that prevent you from exploring this wonderful world.įor example, early in the game, you have to sneak into a monastery. Instead of the story moving forward, it seems that every step is another fucking roadblock. While this game is prettier than ever the pacing is just killing me. ehem.Syberia.īut the sequel Syberia II is just driving me crazy. I also got hooked on the story and really wanted to see see Kate Walker and Hans Voralberg reach. Yes, the game was slow but it was gorgeous and the puzzles were interesting and they clicked. I have fond memories of Syberia I, playing it on my POS laptop in my university years in the early 2010's. They were quite popular during their time, and it was impossible to not go to a game store and find a big cardboard box with Syberia I or II in the PC game section.Īs far as point and clicks go, this is one of the most beautiful games within this genre, despite it's age (It's prerendered backgrounds stood the test of time really well). Syberia I and II are point and click adventure games from the 2000's.
