In Stranger Things VR, you will take the perspective of Vecna, as you travel to the past to uncover his influence, invade the dreams of your favourite characters and wreak havoc on Hawkins.

Your main actions will be using Vecna's telekinesis abilities, allowing you to grab, crush, and throw any foes that stand in your way. You'll be able to use these within the dreams and memories of characters like Will and Billy as you control them within the Upside Down.

Furthermore, you'll be able to open and close portals between different worlds and realities, but you might need to be careful as the ramifications of doing such an act can be severe.
