Matt Duffer, co-creator of Stranger Things, revealed that the final season took cues from Baldur's Gate 3. He noted the similarities in teamwork between the show’s characters and a D&D party, especially during the epic showdown with Vecna and the Mind Flayer. The Abyss, where this battle unfolds, echoes the intricate settings found in both the game and tabletop RPGs. Duffer teased that many video game references are sprinkled throughout, highlighting the shared themes of character growth and collaboration. What do you think about these connections between the two worlds?
