[nowmemories]

how did they get away with this so fast💀

[nowmemories]

I was playing a Hellfire Club chapter in ST Puzzle Tales and... suddenly, Nancy showed up in the middle of the campaign under the name of Henrietta.

I can't believe how weird this whole interaction is after watching seasons 3 and 4, where Nancy is one of the main focuses of 001.

spoiler: this question had no answer, which is also weird.

STRANGER THINGS PUZZLE TALES

Game Observations Part 2/4- Mike's internal struggle

Well, as you know, when I have free time, I play the Stranger Things official games from Netflix to get some external clues from them. Today it's ST Puzzle Tales turn. (Anyway I'm gonna use some screenshots from the walkthroughs of the pre-s4 version of the game)

This analysis is gonna be soooo long since this game has a lot of interesting stuff, so I'm gonna split this in parts. I'm probably gonna be posting about this game specifically for a few days :)

- View Part 1: ST Puzzle Tales Characters Analysis.

So, this post is about Mike's internal struggle and how this is shown in the game's story mode.

We see how he's forced to "Grow Up", so that idea gets so deep into his mind and it's thanks to Ted.

We also see that Mike tries to fake a new personality when he meets El and Will in California in s4, which makes this part really curious...

"Lack of personality for so long" when did we all say that Mike's character was being ruined? Since s3.

And this reminds me to that part in "Lucas On The Line" book, where he said that Mike spent a lot of time alone, isolated playing in his basement after the Byers moved to California.

Boy, how can you say it's gross? You literally have a girlfriend.

Unless... you're not used to treat her like that because love is not what you feel. Admiration, could be? Coolness?

I mean, even his sister thinks it's weird that he got an amazing girl as his girlfriend😭

and then we have this VERY direct parallel to M1leven with the "you're my superhero" line, and this is what Jonathan says. Mike, what are you hiding behind that monologue?

STRANGER THINGS PUZZLE TALES

Game Observations p3 - FORESHADOWING and clues

This is the 3rd part of the ST Puzzle Tales Observations posts! Today I'm gonna talk about these dialogues that seemed so interesting to me, because they might be foreshadowing some stuff about s5 👀

PREVIOUS PARTS

1: ST PUZZLE TALES Characters Analysis

2: Mike's internal struggle in ST puzzle tales.

1) I think Maple Street is such a mysterious place, a mistery that was not fully solved yet. This place has been brought up A LOT of times in the game and the series.

2) THIS part made me ask sooo many questions because, does El have the power to bring flayed people back? Is it something that we could see in s5?

3) Remember Nancy's vision? When she said that all her family was dead? Why did flayed Mike say that his Mom and Nancy are next? What is going on with the Wheeler family?

4) This just adds to the birthday gate theory I'm- 😭

5) "Will was not alone here" Was El talking about the demogorgons or... someone else?

6) This may foreshadow that Will is gonna take advantage of his connection to Henry in s5 (and yes, Mike will agree with that)

7) Not really foreshadowing, but these two are interesting phrases that are kinda out of pocket in the game👀

ST 1984 GAME ANALYSIS

Well, this is the last game analysis for now since this was the only game left for me to try.

Honestly, this game doesn't have many hints or a different storyline, it has a lot of action, not so much storytelling.

It's like if season 1 and season 2 were mixed in the same year/game :)

These are the most important details I got from it.

1. It was so funny to see how they named this street "Mirkwood" just how the party does.

2. For my byler lovers, these are for you. Mike didn't hesitate at all to look for Will when he was missing again <3.

3. As I said before, This game doesn't really have a lot of dialogue or storytelling at all, so it's pretty interesting how they remarked this line (from Karen) here.

4. Foreshadowing?

5. This was a curious addition.

6. Another interesting sequence here :)

7. I just took these screenshots because I found it so funny to see things from hopper's perspective.

Game Observations Part 4/4 - Byler Hints

Previous parts!

1. ST PUZZLE TALES CHARACTERS ANALYSIS

2. MIKE'S INTERNAL STRUGGLE

3. ST PUZZLE TALES FORESHADOWING

In this post, I'm gonna focus on the ✨️byler✨️ stuff from the game.

First, we have Mike worrying about Will and a classic romantic trope. "If you want him, you'll have to go through me."

And this part omg, I can clearly see jealous Mike.

No angst, just them hanging out and playing dnd ❤️‍🩹

And Mike comforting Will, as usual. They are always a "we", they will never let the other alone.

This reminds me to a certain s4 dialogue:

- "We have to kill him": we need to be on guard.

- "And we will": next time it comes, it'll be ready.
