"Our core focus will be to deliver on Stranger Things' rich and intense themes like friendship and supernatural adventure, and translate these into snack-sized entertainment on your mobile device," Teemu Huuhtanen, CEO, Next Games said in a press release.

This isn't the first Stranger Things game. There's one called 'Stranger Things: The Game' which is available for Android.
