Did Stranger Things Rip Off Beyond 2 Souls?

I know you read this title and thought either this man is crazy , or you have no idea what Beyond 2 S ouls is. Well I would not blame you for never hearing of it . Up until about four days ago , I ha d not heard of it , either . Beyond 2 S ouls is a PS3 Game made by Quantic Dream , the same people who made another great story - based game known as Heavy Rain. Now , I assume most of you know the plot of the first two seasons of Stranger Things , so I won't really get into it. Instead, l et's get into how we can compare Beyond 2 Souls and Stranger Things.

In Beyond 2 Souls , you play as a girl named Jodie. You play through her childhood to her late teens and twenties. Jodie is a female who has a n entity in her known as Aiden ( I k now that isn't like Eleven from Stranger things, b ut wait) . With Aiden ’s, power she can control (w ell he controls , but you get it) m ove objects, take control of other people, and f orce c hoke ( g etting h is Vader on). As we progress through the story , her “ p arents” leave her in a place where she can be watched and experimented on ( r emind you of someone ? ) . The two main scientist s are Nathan & Cole. Through the story , Nathan would get obsessed with the other side of the world (t heir version of the Upside Down) , because he lost his wife and daughter , and the longing to see them caused a scary obsession. Cole is that authority figure who has a soft spot for Jodie and would put his own life and well being at risk for her . Now , there is something that makes Jodie’s story a little different from Stranger Things. She was forced to join the CIA and was used to assassinate people that were issues for the USA. Back to the comparisons tho ugh- and this one is gonna scare you . H alfway through the game , Jodie finds out from Cole that her real mom is in a wacky shack , because Jodie was taken away from her at birth. The reason being because she was expected to have those powers . Her mom was heavily sedated by the CIA so she could never expose the secret. Jodie , with help from C ole , would break in to finally meet her mother - and just in like Stranger Things - the only way they could communicate was in the other world (Getting scary , huh). T hroughout the whole game , other countries in our world keep opening rifts to the other world , want ing to use it for Military advantages . Jodie of course is forced to stop it.
