We know Netflix has plans to expand into gaming, and now we see their latest move. The company has acquired indie game developer Night School Studio, the team behind games Afterparty and Oxenfree. The latter reminds us a bit of Stranger Things, described as a "supernatural thriller about a group of friends who unwittingly open a ghostly rift." Night School Studio was even making a hybrid puzzle game based on the series back in 2018. But unexpected layoffs forced the project's sudden shutdown. 

This announcement comes a day after Netflix revealed that the early library of games it's testing out with Android users in Poland is coming to subscribers in Spain and Italy.
