Unfortunately this looks like another high-profile Quest game tanking. UploadVR rated the game a very low 6/10:
"Stranger Things VR is a commendable effort from Tender Claws and a nice example of VR's potential as a storytelling medium, letting you experience Hawkins and the Upside Down in a brand new way that expands on the Stranger Things universe. Unfortunately, all that is hindered by extremely repetitive gameplay elements and poor combat."

RoadToVR ended at 5.5/10 - and 4/10 for the gameplay:
"Stranger Things VR is basically only for fans of the show who don't mind a four-hour recap of the past two seasons set to some admittedly excellent surrealist art, which deftly nails the nightmarish vibe of the Upside Down. Although there are hints of engaging mechanics at the beginning, none of them come to a satisfying conclusion, positioning Stranger Things VR as more of an extended commercial than a story truly worth telling."

Right now - 3 days after launch, the game has 120 ratings, which is low for a game many have wanted for long.
It's only 2.9GB - no textures - just the usual even-colored low-poly surfaces, graphics look so poor it may greatly affect immersion and presence. I think they originally had a PCVR version planned - which probably will come back if the sales continue tanking...
